stuff that if isn't in thr game, it'l be rubbish

[el flexo]

for a start, the le mans event(not le sarth 24 hours) actuually called le mans
silverstone
brands hatch
maybach excelero
official f1 racers
official car company tuners shops(like for instance, from the jaguar sports range you could get a front spoiler, a small rear wing, sports alloys and so on)
pit stops where you can actually see theother cars pitting behind you
pit communication
craete a car(it would be very expensive)
choose exhaust shape from a tuner shop e.g ()()-----------------()()(on a f430 spider) which bringgs me to another point THEY HAVE TO PAY ENOUGH MONEY TO LAMBO AND MASERATI AND FERRARI! then the game would be complete

GT5 will not be rubish if it doesn't have a 24 hour race called the LeMans 24hr, which it most certainly wont have due to licensing issues.
Silverston and Brandshatch would both be nice additions but again GT5 won't be rubish if they arn't in either.
Same goes for the Maybach Exelero.
Official car company tuners shops, would add little, but thats it, lets fae it, your not going to be too bothered if GT5 brings back the race modification or better still, gives you full control over turning your car into a race car.
The pit stops will be improved and we've already seen that they will be in the VGT demo's.
Pit communication, I'd like that in. I'm all up for increacing the race atmosphere,
Create a car, would be great if done right, but it's not essential again.
Different shaped and sized exhausts could be an option, but theeffects of changing the size of the exhaust should be realistic.
Maserati, Lambo and Ferrari would be very nice, but again, the game wouldn't be rubbish without them.

This thread is likely to become a flame war and may result in this bad boy being locked. Before I begin, I'd watch my spelling. One of the rules on this site is to type stuff up to suggest that you aren't lazy. So, not many of us are going to understand "stuff that if isn't in thr game, it'l be rubbish."

What have you been sniffing? Did you take your vitamins? Do you know what REALLY knows what hurts the series? Well in my view, it's overexpecting. I don't believe in expectations. Only thing I expect is that I get the next GT no matter what it is. To me, expectations kill games. To me, I let the game come to me, not me come into the game. What's being played and experienced- us or the game? So over little things like no damage or online or reverse lights, do you NEED them to make this game hot? I'm not trying to suck up to PD or GT, I'm just telling the truth.

Now, let me address your points.
* 24 Hours of Le Mans - Maybe due to licensing deals, PD can't use "Le Mans" in the game. There's licensing issues that take place. Would you use Pepsi in a game and not get a licensing deal? You'd have lawsuits against you if you did, so this stuff aren't gimmies. Just like... some European sports car companies.
* Silverstone and Brands Hatch - now, I'll agree with you. These are two awesome race tracks. Brands Hatch has the simple configuraion, then the much tougher long course. On the record, there has NEVER been a British race track in a GT game.
* Maybach Excelero - I don't know about this car, so no comment except for potential licensing issues.
* Official F1 racers - doesn't really matter much. It's okay to have fictional race cars because GT isn't about single racing series- not even the JGTC/Super GT. Then too, some just want to have a Ferrari F1 car and own everyone else. Then too, I don't care for licensed racers as well. GT has always been about the cars, not specific series and not specific drivers.
* Official tuning firms - to what extent? Bodykits? Special horsepower upgrades? Original engine parts? Clarify a little more, please.
* Pit stops with visible drivers in pits behind you - this may actually happen in the next GT with the PS3's power, so I wouldn't worry about this.
* pit communication - this MAY work, but many would complain that it can be a nusiance while racing. Co-driver commentary for rally racing would be a nice consideration, but that's about it.
* Create a car - Why? The original Sega GT did it pretty well with the Carrozzeria feature, but I don't really see this happening too much work and perhaps unnecessary if you ask me.
* Choose exhaust shape from tuner shop - No way. I would like to maybe see a rendered muffler package, so when you add a Racing muffler, you don't get sort of a look-a-like muffler for each application.

All in all, what's going to be rubbish about the next GT? It will be rubbish if GT5 ends up being a dissappointment to the GT series. Everything people complained about GT games of old (even some of mine) are stuff I read, take to heart, think about, and prepare counterstatements at will. Twenty-four hours is still 24 hours, even if the graphics don't show it. It's a shame compared to "Le Mans 24 Hours" (great game. Get it if you don't have it already), but the race is still a twice-around-the-clock classic. To me, very little will disappoint me unless PD just do horribly with the next GT.

IIRC,the Le Mans race track lays near the Sarthe,and the long circuit is named 'Circuit de la Sarthe'.
Second name for the event is the Sarthe 24H.

 

[Dave A]

The track isn't called LeMans, just the event is, the short track is called Bugatti, the full circuit used in the 24hr race is called Le Sarth. It's just the event thats called the LeMans.
