In the argument pertaining to the license tests, I completely agree that they should be mandatory in order to obtain or unlock certain cars or challenges. I'm sure there are just as many GT players who have found them to be beneficial (like I did) rather than "pointless drudgery". In the statement made complaining about having to re-do them in each installment of the game, that's nothing short of silliness because not everyone has played the series since the beginning.
Instead of getting into too much detail, I'll leave it at this....How you look on paper matters. Who cares how good you say you are, show that you can do it on paper and officialize it. That's one of the points PD might be trying to make by requiring license tests.
Also, where's the sense of achievement in everything being unlocked and playable? Not to mention it would all be one big spoiler.

So? Keep them optional so people who are new to GT can do them if they want to learn, while those who have more experience with the series can move on to the actual game. I'm actually glad licenses were optional in GT5. In previous GTs, I hated how the license tests halted the flow of the game. Yes, the level system was bad in GT5 but that doesn't mean a better system can't be put in place. Other racing games can pull it off.
I can prove myself by winning events. Not by doing license tests that will not benefit me.
There are quite a few people on here that don't care for "sense of achievement" in a video game. They just want to go online and race. For them, that's the real fun.

If they halted the flow of the game for you in previous installments, then I take it you had a hard time getting past them? That's the point.
That depends on what kind of events you're referring to; if it's anything that has to do with the terrible AI's in the game than the license tests will surely benefit you.
I'm pretty sure anyone who plays a video game is looking for some sense of achievement. You race to win? Winning = sense of achievement.

Optional is the key. License tests were fine in GT1 and 2 maybe. Now with GT6 on the horizon and millions of those that play the game having already passed through numerous license tests, it's all a little boring. Offline has no interest to me at all and I'm guessing to many others as well. Let those that want that kind of thing enjoy it, just don't force those of us that have no interest in it whatsoever to slog through it, as it actually detracts from, not enhances our experience.
An acceptable substitute might be a single lap time target, that encompasses most or all of the lessons in a given license. Hit that target and you pass the license. Alternately, you can do all the license tests without doing the full lap or hitting any target time. Similar to the GTP WRS system.

oh, get rid of the level system.
it sucks.
and make the start of the career more lasting.
i can remember playing gt1 and was so full of joy when i had my first car. then finaly had enough money for a turbo, and subsequently more and more tuning until i could finaly RM it. That was great.
In GT5 i bought a car, did nothing on it, and after a few races i allready could tune it to the fullest. I want slighter progression for the first steps in career.

The WRS uses a combination of two segments of the Nurb from one of the Mercedes Special Events to determine your ranking. License tests could offer you two options. Either go through all 10 tests and get at least bronze to get your license, or run a single lap of a given track or a segment of the Nurb or whatever and if you're fast enough you get gold/silver/bronze and also get your license. The ultimate goal is after all, speed on the track. That gives everyone the option of advancing the old way or quickly through the tests.

Not what I mean at all. I had no problem passing them. It was annoying for me to stop progessing through events to do theses tests.
How will the licenses tests benefit me and what's the point in using them to restrict me from events, if I already have no trouble with the AI? That's my point. The licenese tests do not help me. At all. I golded the IC License in GT2 because I wanted the Honda del sol LM. It took countless tries to pull it off, but even after all that, I don't feel my driving improved much, if at all. Unless it's your very first time playing GT, licenses won't help much. As Johnnypenso said earlier in the thread, racecraft is learned by racing with other drivers. All licenses do is cover driving basics. I have been playing all kinds of racing games, including Gran Turismo starting with GT1, since I was a little kid, so I don't need the game to teach me anything.
True. What I meant to say was, for some, they get that from racing online and beating real people.

Send replay data file to friends in the game's friends list instead of save to disk, export to usb, import on PC, send via email, download to USB, import on PS3 etc.
They're just small data files. PD, please let me send them to my in-game friends so they can watch them in-game and send me theirs.

Rolling 2x starts where you have to control your speed during the time between red light and green light.
Would probably favour wheel users. At least make it an option - so DS3 users can turn it off if they wish.

Better Arcade mode leaderboards.
If a few mates come around and you get on Arcade mode to see who can get the best times, it would be good if you could add a name to each time, maybe even link it to their PSN account so the times would be updated on their own PS3.
Also be able to filter it to show only the times a specific car has registered.

There are some things i also wish for:
- Each car won or bought, should be available in Arcade mode, with all the standard colours
- In the online race mode, you can not add cars from garage as an option for a race, there are only few suggested for each race.

I agree with the first point but the second point is just utterly stupid. You don't want people to be able to use their own cars online? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Not necessarily.
I'll give you an example.
When you choose as an option the LMP class, some cars are missing from that category:
-Mercedes CLK-GTR
-Panoz GTR
and maybe others, i did not thoroughly look
Some times there were wishes in the room, that the race should have cars from GT1/LMP category and GT's like Viper and Corvette, but choosing only a PP limit, resulted in a LE Mans mini race with Bugatti Veyron and other cars that made the race weird and people were not pleased...
Now, there is not a way (besides kicking people out of room) in making for example a Le Mans 24 lap race,
with LMP/GT1 and GT category only.
I'll give you another examples:
There is a rumor that DTM and Super GT will have a common race so you can be able with this option to have Super GT vs DTM. You can also make a brand war with Dodge vs Chevy etc...
There are many things you can play around with this option, limiting it only to your imagination.
I have not looked yet in the Touring Car class, but i expect there to find Race Touring Cars like Mazda 6 Race Car, Lexus IS Race Car (not the black one) , Honda Civic Motul Race CAR, etc; to make a race similar to BTCC, JTCC, WTCC, etc. IF there are not these cars there and series production cars, there it is another thing you can do witth this option.

That solves only part of problem.
But how about a confrontation between Camaro's and Mustangs, Vipers and Corvettes, standard street cars, how can you achieve that ?
I still think choosing cars from garage for a race, offers infinite possibilities...
Here is another one:
The Touring Car Class has only the DTM cars.
If i want to make a Touring Car Race, like JTCC, BTCC, WTCC, with cars like these:

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120421034021/gran-turismo/images/0/0f/Lexus_IS_200_GT-1_Race_Car_%2704.jpg
and there are more of them...
There is no option for it. By the way, they all have almost same PP.
I like this race class and i want to find online players for it.... Can't do that without the possibility to choose for an online race the cars i want from my garage.

If I'm reading this right, in a more general sense what you're really looking for is more restrictions available to online hosts and to that I say..heck ya!!! You should be able to set up a race using any parameters and combinations of parameters that are available in the garage.
For example, Chevy vs. Dodge, RWD only, max 450 HP, 1400 kg minimum, stock except for 6 speed transmission and racing exhaust.
or...
FWD European cars only, HP.., Weight..., no modifications except for blah blah blah.
There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to open lobbies with all kinds of restrictions available to set up any kind of racing you want. Everything is already in the game to do this, except for the little box you need to tick to set it up. The idea of hosts having to control things by yelling at people and kicking them is ridiculous...so last century!!
