Reimagined Group B Rally Cars

[syntex123]

Just suggesting. A really nice race car to add in GTS would be a Mclaren P1 GTR or just the P1.

👍
But as a Group B Rally car? Nah.

 

[GTPorsche]

Again, this would be a cool addition but where are the real group B cars ?

Sitting in collections not being used in anger, like most classic race cars are these days.

I see the GT Sport offerings being a modern interpretation of the Group B mentality.

I feel itbisba good move by PD to use modern cars. Keeps a new generation interested by seeing today's cars in the game. Besides, PD usually educate the players by displaying knowledge of motor vehicle history.

Initially, I wasn't looking that forward to it. Mainly because how stale off-road racing iS in GT. If Piles Peak makes a surprise DLC(most to highly unlikely), it will be one of the most used tracks ever.

Ok that was only 2 posts that meant 2 different things.

Thought I'd polish this up a bit.

It's now rear engined.

Welp, since probably won't see the E30 Gr.B. May as well do an M235i Gr.B.

One can dream...

For this FIA sanctioned game I'd imagine Group B is something they'd like to forget... otherwise, these classic cars in a game focused on modern machinery and sport would feel out of place.

Considering we have Gr. B cars, is it much of a reach that we see some faster Gr. A cars?

The 208 is in, I'd love to see a modern tribute to the mental 205 T16.

I'd love to see the pikes peak, but it's not a group B car.

No reason it can't be made to fit in the class though, like most of the cars in the game have been tinkered with.

The insane downforce for a start.

 

[sparkytooth]

You could make one out of the 208 GTI already in the game.

That's what I was getting at.

But that shouldn't be a concern. With the VGT's being shoe-horned into various categories (a Chiron-based car running with modern endurance prototypes), there's no reason PD couldn't nerf the 208 T16's colossal downforce to fit it in line with the Group B cars.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the already-confirmed RCZ Group B cribs a whole lot of details from that car anyway.

I think the RCZ Group B would look alot like this car:

That's good, reminds me of my Camaro rendering

I would be in love of the RCZ if it will look like the 307 CC WRC ♥. I mean, we already have the normal one (307 cc), why not the WRC??

One can dream...

It reminds me of the VGT...

God please give us luck on Japan...

I'm quite looking forward to these cars. Mainly, after driving off-road in GTA V. Thinking back to Pikes Peak, how awesome would it be, to have the different variations in the game. Pretty much the most epic of Time Trials to run over and over using every car available. That would be a good trophy to get: Set a TT using every car in GTS.

@The Stig Farmer I think Group A cars would actually be slower than the Group B cars, if they were to make the game, assuming that they are built to FIA specification. Group A cars would be closer to their production models, much like the Impreza's and the Evo's of the 90's. All the same, a dirt course is a dirt course, so hill climb cars like the Suzuki aren't an impossibility

I based this off of the road racing classification i.e. Gr. 1/3/4 - less is more etc. We don't know if these Gr. B cars were designed as actual Group B cars or whether this is just PD's own nomenclature

 

[oli440]

Don't know if this has been discussed yet, but since GT Sport is an E-Sports game, I'm surprised that rally cars have made the game at all. I honestly thought rally was an afterthought of the series.

Considering they've made the effort to re-imagine Group B rally cars, I wonder if there will be some kind of rally championship alongside all the track based events. Knowing GT, it will be more like Rallycross, but even so, the idea of driving modern Group B rally cars on a dirt circuit with live TV coverage is simply amazing, not to mention the fact that cars themselves will be carrying custom liveries

I see. Come to think of it, I approve of your theory, because if that's the case, PD have only scratched the surface for off-road racing in GT Sport

 

[05XR8]

It would be amazing to watch a faster driver navigate a course and catch up to a slower driver. Also, to see which drivers are able to set their cars up better, even if they are not the fastest.

Group B will be popular with players who obviously, prefer point to point racing and may gain fans from those new to the series.

 

[Matej]

I'm not really happy with the idea to introduce modern Group B rally cars. Real Group B cars belong to past and as such should only appear in game as vintage, authentic models as they were.

It would be much better idea to bring few road-going 'hatches that could be modified into S1600 cars (Ignis, C2, etc.)

The cars I would like to see as Group B Rally cars are...
