The cars look fine (except the tires, which looks just as wierd as in the previous Forza games). The track surface on the other hand looks horrible.
If drag racing would be included in GT5, I bet it would be 5 times better than in Forza.
Exactly.At least they have a proper drag strip to race on.

They do look like poo. Too shiny, lots of cutting and rough edges.
True. Wish we had one.

Yeah, me too. The '64 Thunderbolt, '66 Chevy II, '68 HEMI Dart and '67 Coronet W023 really makes me jealous.And proper drag cars... Wow, makes me want a crapbox.

Maybe future dlc. I've read that people have seen the test track in the new intro.

That would be cool. There are quite a few that I miss from the older games.

Well, I would say it still takes a large amount of skill/technique (Especially in the '60s). Not to jump the gun, perfect shifts ect. It defiantly should be in every racing game! 👍

+2:tup:Both the tuning and the driving parts of it. There's alot more to it than throwing a bunch of parts on a car, taking it to the track, and just flooring it. It takes quite a bit of skill to tune a car for drag and just as much to drive it.
@Shmo, had to read that twice, that made me laugh.

Sounds like a misunderstanding, were you speaking about the game or real life? I was talking real life. My point of view/statement was from my personal experience in comparison to driving an auto cross track. Getting my '92 Camaro Z28 down the 1/4 is/was easier than taking laps at a track day event.
Anyway, I enjoy drag racing more... Corners can kill you!!!

I'm talking in game and real life. Most of the same general rules between the two apply to both. Taking a car down a strip is easy, yes, but getting a good time and winning mostly everyone in your class isn't. Anyone can take a car to a strip, and floor it, but not everyone can tune a car for top performance in either situation. Again with track racing. Anyone can take a car to a track and drive it around, but not everyone can tune a car for top performance.

I'm very excited about how much the votes are rising, both for 'Drag Racing' and 'Bandimere Speedway'. Drag racing is now the 14th most wanted feature, and Bandimere Speedway is the 11th most wanted track. Keep the votes coming fellow drag racing fans! 👍
Some photoshops I did to give you an idea of what it would be like to have 9" drag slicks and front runners in GT5 (stock on top and race below):

What's with the talk about tuning? Sure, it's a good thing to have a good and consistent car, but it's far from the only and most important thing. It's about reaction time, getting the most grip out of the track and in bracket racing, top end tactics are important as well.

If PD don't put a drag track in with some sort of individual timing mechanism buy the start of next year, even after all the support this idea is getting.. *shakes fist in general direction of Japan..*
I mean seriously.. Drag racing has become MASSIVE online and they must be seeing this and hopefully acting to it.. They added two new kart courses.. KART COURSES!! I don't know about you guys but since I started playing I have only ever used the karts once..

What really bugs me is that Kaz has mentioned drag racing for over a decade, but never implemented it. Now we haven't heard a word about it though.
Back in the day Kaz said drag racing was gonna be featured in GT2. The drag racing fanatic as I was and still am, I got all excited, but nothing happened. Then he said it was gonna be in GT3, and I thought "Yes! This is it!", but again, nothing happened. Then when it was revealed Infineon Raceway (of which the drag strip could be seen in the 'License Center' in GT3) was gonna be in GT4, I thought "This must really be it, now that we'll get a proper drag strip and all". What happened? Well, PD decides to scrap the proper drag strip at Infineon Raceway (even though the road course was included!!!) and instead include a fictional one on the streets of Las Vegas, which you couldn't race on. 👎
Through all these years I've tried to find a reason why PD still haven't included some sort of drag racing mode along with a proper drag strip, but I've failed to find one. It should be so simple to implement that it's scary, and I'm almost starting to think they refuse to include it just to make me mad.

The 'License Center' screen in GT3 I was talking about...
You can clearly see the Infineon drag strip, complete with a tree and everything. Why was this never included!?

Which I find quite silly, I have never heard of drifting until that F&F Tokyo Drift movie came out, drag racing has been huge for over half a century.
Curling is more relevant than drifting...HURRY HARRRD !!!

About how PD could make drag racing (if it will ever be included) work properly online. How about making it work just like in real life? Let's assume PD will add a qualify session to online races, and let's say there are 16 players in a room. In the first round the #1 qualifier goes against the #16 qualifier, #2 against #15 and so on. The winners in round 1 are taken directly to round 2, while the losers are taken back to the lounge.

Where the hell have you been?
The 3 biggest things are NASCAR, Drag Racing, and Drifting. Then some oddball rooms. And I rarely see drift rooms.

? Hello???
1. Definitely circuit racing. You missed the main part of the game, dude!
Then the things you said. But just to mention it, drifting is by far the biggest of them.
