For me, give me a simple livery editor (Symbols, shapes, numbers, aftermarket decals, etc.)
-ACTUAL Car customization (Front bumpers, body kits, Flat floors, lights, etc.)
-A revamped AI system! (Make the CPU drivers actually fight for the lead instead of letting me pass)
-More cars on track (At least a 24 car line-up)
-Weather and 24h time for more tracks (For Endurance races)
-PLEASE Kaz! Can we PLEASE be able to work on aerodynamic parts and make certain brake & suspension adjustments while in race via pit-stop (i.e. I'm racing a 2 hour endurance, 30 minutes in, it starts pouring, I want to be able to change my tires and adjust my aerodynamics to better suit me for the changing weather conditions.)
-Obviously better and more realistic car sounds
-An Automatic pace car when doing an Endurance race over 25 minutes.
-Actual yellow flags
-Realistic Damage (Mechanical failures, blown engine, blown tires, front wings and other aerodynamic parts fall or hang off when making contact with something at 120 mph)
please, no option to leave online races. I hate when I'm racing let's say ten people on Nordschleife and some of them crash in the first corners leaving three far ahead and the rest scattered far back, and one by one they leave, leaving only the three in the front. Every racer, especially GT, should force players to finish the lap, enter the pit, and retire there.
You could implement some statistical penalties that could be beneficial like tracking race completion stats and perhaps having it affect payouts. You could track stats for "completion %" and then allow lobby creators the option to disallow entry to those with less than X% completion rate. You could also encourage completion by penalizing players for early retirement monetarily (game money) and by offering reward bonuses for race completion streaks. The payout of rewards to players completing the race could be based on number of entries rather than number of finishers as well.
And this. My GOODNESS This Would be Fantastic if this was implemented in GT7! But that's what I want to see in GT7
Sorry if it's kinda long.
