Things You Want To See In GT7 Besides Vehicles & Tracks

[Shahar]

How could you possibly re-sell a used car for a higher price than when you bought it? Scamming the game?

if you range is low and you customized the car its can be sold for a higher prize

 

[Harsk100]

@@Harsk100 all I need from this list is this:
CARS - Customization

• Ability to carbon fiber more panels (trunk, roof, doors) or the entire car
• Ability to position mufflers (straight, right or left, upwards)
• Detailed RM. Car should be able to be modified into different classes of cars. E.g An Evo could be made into a rally car, a time trial car, a race car (GT500, LM, BTTC, WTTC)ect. You should be able to choose different types of engines for each RM. E.g For say the rally cars you should be able to change the engines to fit into different classes, WRC, Pikes Peak, Group B? Unlimited class. The drivetrain should also be able to be changed. E.g 4WD for the rally cars, RWD for the time trail cars, and whatever drivetrains are allowed in the category the car is.
• Tinted glass (various shades)

CARS - Customization Parts

• Larger selection of Rims (available to all cars)
• Larger selection of Spoilers/Wings. All wings in the game should be available for any car (except race cars)
• OEM/Aftermarket Body Kits (not just splitters and spoilers)
• OEM/Aftermarket Bumpers
• OEM/Aftermarket Exhaust Tips
• OEM/Aftermarket Grills
• OEM/Aftermarket Headlights / Taillights (yellow, blue, LED etc)
• OEM/Aftermarket Rims in diffrent sizes - not just one size like GT5.
• OEM/Aftermarket Seats (Sparco, Momo, RaceTech)
• OEM/Aftermarket Steering Wheels
• Steering Wheel covers
• Strobe Lights

CARS - Damage

• Dirt and sand can get into engine or clog filters
• Engine Failures
• Gear Box Failures (or individual gears)
• Glass breaks
• High Speed crashes can lead to instant DNF
• Hubcaps can fall off if possible on real wheel
• Occasional Fires after crashes
• Oil leaks
• Random Failures (possibility increased with rough driving/wrecking/poor maintenance)
• Realistic Damage can be turned on or off
• Rust
• Time-Scaled damage. Occurs when the car does not have chassis reinforcement and in endurance events. This can mostly happen when entering a corner, weather/climate, or constantly bumping into walls or other cars. For example: Bob enters the Karussell corner at the Nurburgring and when leaving the corner he noticed that his front-right brake is not working. Time-Scaled damages can also effect brakes, transmission box, gearbox, chassis, wheels, engine/turbo, lights (front and rear), aerodynamics, weight, oil, fuel, exhaust, etc...

CARS - Functions

• Ability to adjust seats
• Ability to change radio stations in car (stations depend on country)
• Ability to toggle boost
• Cruise control
• Rear wipers should work too when its raining

CARS - Gameplay

• Ability to run out of fuel where you completely stop and a tow truck has to come get you
• Ability to stall the engine
• Ability to turn engine on and off

• Simulated automatic gearbox (if you gently push the throttle it will shift earlier and if you pin the throttle down it will kickdown to lower gear)
• Tire Blowouts
• Tire Flatspots
• Working Fuel Guage

CARS - Maintenance

• Brake pad & rotor changes
• Clutch changes
• Dirt, oil, bugs, insects, and Grime Accumulate on Windshield and headlights
• The car actually gets dirty and when you go clean it in GT Auto it actually looks dirty and then gets washed.

CARS - Physics - Aerodynamic

• Blowovers
• Draft/slipstream efficiency updated to take into account speed, car shape/drag, and horsepower.
• Revamped aerodynamic physics (drag doesn't exist when you increase downforce)
• Turbulent air from the car in front of you affects handling, disruption severity depends on speed, drag, and aero dependency
• Wind

CARS - Physics - Crashes

• Better collision physics
• Better off course on grass physics
• Soft-body physics

CARS - Physics - Mechanical

• ABS 1 - 10 doesnt have a huge difference where as ABS 0 is truly off, it would be good if 0 was off and 10 was fully on and the rest were spaced correctly inbetween, i.e. so it would be possible to lock your brakes on abs 2 if u stamped on them
• Better low-speed physics (burnouts and donuts!)
• Better suspensions and tyre model /contact with surface is wrong
• Harder Tire compounds last much longer then softer compounds, at least twice as long
• More focus on a simulation feel than look, especially when using wheels
• More realistic tire model in all weather conditions
• Offline and online physics absolutely identical
• Rim and tire width should also be reflected in the game mechanically
• Suspension setups and car weight effect tire wear. i.e. A car with a lot of camber and/or weight (or both) will go through tires at a faster rate than a lighter one w/ less camber.
• The way the car behaves under braking through the entry of the corner needs to be more realistic
• The way the car responds when you get sideways to corrections needs to be more realistic
• Tires last longer overall
• Track Temperature readouts, and has a performance/tyre wear effect

CARS - Sound

• More realistic sound so you can hear whats going on with the engine and tires
• More Realistic Turbo Sound
• Real Engine sounds for every car. (proper gearbox and rev sounds and mix overall)
• Wider Range of Sound

• Racing Modifications on more cars and possibly more Racing Mods per car (depends on application: drag, drift, rally, precision and so on)
• Restrictor Plates
• Stage 4 Turbos
• Turbocharge any car

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Career Features

• A real, honest career mode with a cast of AI players that have distinct personalities. Advancing through the amateur divisions. Meaningful choices like getting offers from different teams and having to decide who to drive for. Struggling to get sponsorship. Basically being a racing career simulator, and not just a driving simulator.
• Ability to buy insurance with multiple coverage plans to cover damage costs.nsored by car or product companies

• If an auto maker offers a body kit for a specific car, then it should be in the game as an areo package. For example, the Mazda RX-8 comes plain. There is also an R3 package. And for the 2004-2008 RX-8 there is also a specific areo package along with the Mazdaspeed kit. These bits and pieces of areo should be selectable.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Economy

• Make it harder to be rich
• No credit Limit
• Races should not give out a large wad of cash untill the very end of the career mode. You shouldn't be able to buy every single car in the game without ever starting an endurance race. You should never be able to repeat a race over and over for money.
  
  This is one of the key crippled features of any GT game, and even most other racing games. Any sense of accomplishment is demolished by making it possible to grind an easy race over and over again, making earning new cars in the career mode simply mean nothing, nothing at all, making the entire upgrade system and it's various tiers of items completely meaningless.
• Real Currency (dollar, pound, euro, yen etc)
• Selling a car with tuning parts or modifications decreases or increases its value accordingly
• Used car prices change depending on mileage and condition

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Features

• 1,000 XP between each level
• A system in GT6 where you need to have a minimum number of A-spec points to unlock the next set of events. The B-class licence would be available from the start of the game, and all the A-spec points you acquired would go towards unlocking the A-class licence. Once you unlocked the A-class licence, B-class events would stop paying points, so you would have to compete in A-class events to earn more points and unlock the next licence in the sequence. Rinse, lather and repeat. Of course, the points required for the next licence would have to be set at a reasonable level. You wouldn't have to win everything with 200-point races just to get the next licence, but you would have to compete in a fair number of 60-point (the number assigned to evenly-matched races) events to unlock the next licence. This would make the game accessible to new players, whilst allowing experienced players the challenge of rapidly progressing through the game. It would also clamp down on GT4's easy-progression problem, where all you had to do was earn the A-class licence and spam the entry-level events at Costa di Amalfi to earn a rally raid car that could be sold for about 160,000 credits.
• Ability to buy a shell of a car and be able to build or convert to a specific race series, Rally/Race/Drift etc, from the ground up
• Ability to park my car, turn off the engine, get out, and sit on my hood. Maybe even be able to walk around. Imagine being able to decorate/customize your car inside and out, and then also be able to go to car meets/shows, and show off your car. You know, park your car, get out, pop the hood open, etc. Then you could chill with friends, chat, rate cars, etc. IMO, that would be absolutely stunning.
• Cool music like previous GT games not loads of Jazz
• Detailed Career stats, top speed, credits earned/spent, highest G-Force, most barrel rolls, etc
• Easter eggs such as J.Bond driving the Esprit
• For those races that require specific PP or cars, instead of making me click on first Entry Requirements and then Garage, just let me go to the garage from the main area that shows the different races and filter for that race's requirements.
• License to level relations. Eg. To pass level 10 you need a certain license.
• License tests Mandatory
• load a car in the garage and then see all of the possible races that I would be eligible for and pick one. Even cooler would be to also list if I would be grossly over/under qualified for the race.
• More Gran Turismo-made and Daiki Kasho Songs
• More legendary drivers in game such as Keichi Tsuchiya etc
• Museum—Instead of cards, I had originally hoped it would be a way to view every car in the game, neatly presented with it’s information, in different groups and combinations; like all of the Skyline GT-Rs in a row with a historical perspective of them, all of the Super GT cars included for 2012 with a summary of that year’s races, etc.
• Multiple unique soundtracks for Parts Shop, Auction & Car Dealership
• Return to the structure of the GT World Championship in GT2. You had to win all the national events before moving onto the regional rounds, which you had to win in order to unlock the World Championship. However, I'd also put a bit of a twist on it: once you won a set of national events, a regional event would open up. That event would be decided by the nation that you won a round in. So if I raced in the German leagues with a Volkswagen, I would only be able to compete in the European regional events. Likewise, if I won the Japanese series in a Honda, only the Asia-Pacific regional event would be unlocked. Furthermore, the regional event I competed in would dictate the kind of car I could use in the World Championship - so if I won the European events, I could only use a European car. The other regional and national events would only unlock once I won the World Championship, at which point I could begin the process again. In order to get 100% completion, I would have to win the World Championship in a car from every region.
• Store to buy suits, helmets, horns, helmets etc

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Garage Features

• A customizable virtual garage that our avatar can walk around in which we see in first-person perspective. Where we can view our cars and have a look around the interior.

And the ability to save progress of a given event, so you organize longer events that can take several days to finish. Of course you'd have to be able to do something else when you come back to the game and resume your event / championship when you like (unlike the current GT5 saved endurance races, in which you have to resume the race and do nothing else until you quit or finish).
• Ability to adjust each individual AI driver from skill to driving behavior
• Ability to choose grid or rolling start
• Ability to custom pick AI cars
• Ability to set length of race by either laps (1-500) or time (1min - 24 hours)
• Ability to start the race in Grid (Standing start instead of rolling start)
• Arcade mode like before, where every car you buy in GT Mode becomes indefinitely available in Arcade mode with all colors, etc
• LAN mode
• No AI driver has the same car as you
• Time attack, free run and races. All tracks would be splitted to different stages, if a stage is beaten then player unlocks another tracks in Arcade Mode. In Arcade Mode player would also define her/his own race and would set up: how much laps, changeable weather, qualify section, car setup.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing Features

• "your fans" they get more in spectators stands over your career progression (wearing your team colours), and if you are more successful (just like in Drift flag system) people start to shout, scream and make noises while you drive by them, even better if you are lets say from Canada, they would shout "GOOO CANADA GOOO" and raise Canadian flags upon spectators stands, that would make tracks so much more alive.

• Multi-class racing
• Top Gear - A lot more challenges that would test your driving ability (mostly timed challenges with cones) and with interesting cars not a VW bus. This can be combined with the licenses tests.
  - Cast of the show as narrators for these challenges (Jeremy, James and Hammond) just to make it more authentic
  - Head to Head races between same-class cars in terms of top speed, cornering ability, drifting, drag races, etc.
  - Beat the Stig mode where you try to match or beat the stig's time of different cars on the list they have on the show (yes that means PD have to make all those vehicles that appear on that list)
  - Mini games, car soccer, hockey, jumps, tricks, etc.
  - Tours in certain countries or regions, where you race on all tracks in those regions with relevant cars (italy tour would be Lambo vs Ferrari, and so on)
• "Ultimate Series". It would involve standard racing events, rallying, stock cars, open-wheelers, karts and so on and so forth with one or two rounds of the series breing drawn on from each motorsport discipline. In order to enter, you would have to have one car from each discipline in your garage, and have won events in each discipline.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing - Options

• Optional "mandatory pit stop" during the race for re-fuelling (ie you can start the race with low amount of fuel so you make a pit stop early, or start with a lot of fuel at the beginning so that you do a pit stop late in the race)
• Optional "tire grade change", for example if option is turned on, once during the race you need to switch between hard, medium or soft. So by the end of the race you have raced with at least 2 different tire types.
• Options to customize whole career experience, Mechanical Damages On/Off etc
• Two modes....production cars and racing cars. Production cars follows a similar pattern to GT5, low performance to hyper car in all sorts of disciplines, allowed to tune. Racing cars goes from karts, up to touring cars (Clio cup, world touring cars, dtm, V8s), through GTs, onto prototypes, through single seaters (formula ford/renault, F3/F2, GP3/GP2, Indy car, F1), NASCAR, Rally, Drag, Drift. Ie following how a racing driver becomes a racing driver.

Tracks feature photomode environments that allow you to place multiple cars in the foreground and a few in the background to create exciting images that would otherwise require numerous people with specific garages. Cars are "moving" to simulate the shot of a race. Allows users to re-create famous images, too
• Weather and time changes

GAMEPLAY - Pitstops

• Ability to train pit crew and level them up.
• Adjustments to car like tire pressure and downforce possible during pitstop
• Amount of damage that can be fixed in the pits should vary. A pit crew can replace most parts on a Le mans prototype, but on a road car they'll just tear away parts that are hanging off or theyll beat them around with a hammer but the car wont look new. Damage that a pit crew cannot fix must be fixed in GT Auto.
• Damage takes time to fix in pits depending on severity
• Free control in pit lane
• Front/Rear wing replacement in pits
• Fuel only pit stops
• More moving people behind pit wall during race
• More options during Pit Stops. Ride hights, Spring rates, Camber etc. (When racing in a weather race, it's just not good enough to not be able to set up your car during a pit. Something like a menu where you choose if you want to make "advanced adjustments" added to the fuel/tyre options when entering the pits. If that requres extra time, so be it, but the option needs to be there.)
• Pit crew for hire
• Pit Speed depends on car/racing series
• Slow to pit speed instead of racing into pits or receive a penalty
• Visible Damage fixed in pits

• Better and live environment
• Better weather forecasts for race weekend
• Certain parts of tracks can be wetter then other parts after rain
• Day/night cycle and weather for every track
• Environment sounds (sound of rain, lightning, cheers from crowds, commentators, city sounds, birds, waterfalls whatever just better sound)

• If the weather forecast calls for it, thunder and lightning. Rain is NOT mandatory
• More ambient sound such as birds and insects
• Move the barriers further away from the rally tracks
• Ocassional trash on tracks
• Puddles of water form on certain tracks at certain areas after rainfall
• Racing line rubbers in during race, or over race weekend.
• Rain washes away the line and you can get a drying line after rain stops
• Remove invisible barriers
• Season change in some tracks
• Sunset and Sunrise depends on real world location and time of year
• Various degrees of rain; the higher the number, the harder it will rain. i.e. 1 = Light Drizzle, 10 = Torrential Downpour.
• Weather depends on real world weather patterns. Example: Theres a much higher chance for rain at Spa then Laguna Seca.@@Harsk100 all I need from this list is this:

  • Wind
  
  CARS - Physics - Crashes
  • Better collision physics
  • Better off course on grass physics
  • Soft-body physics
  
  CARS - Physics - Mechanical
  • ABS 1 - 10 doesnt have a huge difference where as ABS 0 is truly off, it would be good if 0 was off and 10 was fully on and the rest were spaced correctly inbetween, i.e. so it would be possible to lock your brakes on abs 2 if u stamped on them
  • Better low-speed physics (burnouts and donuts!)

  GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Economy
  • Make it harder to be rich
  • No credit Limit
  • Races should not give out a large wad of cash untill the very end of the career mode. You shouldn't be able to buy every single car in the game without ever starting an endurance race. You should never be able to repeat a race over and over for money.
    
    This is one of the key crippled features of any GT game, and even most other racing games. Any sense of accomplishment is demolished by making it possible to grind an easy race over and over again, making earning new cars in the career mode simply mean nothing, nothing at all, making the entire upgrade system and it's various tiers of items completely meaningless.
  • Real Currency (dollar, pound, euro, yen etc)
  • Selling a car with tuning parts or modifications decreases or increases its value accordingly
  • Used car prices change depending on mileage and condition
  
  GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Features
  • 1,000 XP between each level
  • A system in GT6 where you need to have a minimum number of A-spec points to unlock the next set of events. The B-class licence would be available from the start of the game, and all the A-spec points you acquired would go towards unlocking the A-class licence. Once you unlocked the A-class licence, B-class events would stop paying points, so you would have to compete in A-class events to earn more points and unlock the next licence in the sequence. Rinse, lather and repeat. Of course, the points required for the next licence would have to be set at a reasonable level. You wouldn't have to win everything with 200-point races just to get the next licence, but you would have to compete in a fair number of 60-point (the number assigned to evenly-matched races) events to unlock the next licence. This would make the game accessible to new players, whilst allowing experienced players the challenge of rapidly progressing through the game. It would also clamp down on GT4's easy-progression problem, where all you had to do was earn the A-class licence and spam the entry-level events at Costa di Amalfi to earn a rally raid car that could be sold for about 160,000 credits.
  • Ability to buy a shell of a car and be able to build or convert to a specific race series, Rally/Race/Drift etc, from the ground up
  • Ability to park my car, turn off the engine, get out, and sit on my hood. Maybe even be able to walk around. Imagine being able to decorate/customize your car inside and out, and then also be able to go to car meets/shows, and show off your car. You know, park your car, get out, pop the hood open, etc. Then you could chill with friends, chat, rate cars, etc. IMO, that would be absolutely stunning.
  • Cool music like previous GT games not loads of Jazz
  • Detailed Career stats, top speed, credits earned/spent, highest G-Force, most barrel rolls, etc
  • Easter eggs such as J.Bond driving the Esprit
  • For those races that require specific PP or cars, instead of making me click on first Entry Requirements and then Garage, just let me go to the garage from the main area that shows the different races and filter for that race's requirements.
  • License to level relations. Eg. To pass level 10 you need a certain license.
  • License tests Mandatory
  • load a car in the garage and then see all of the possible races that I would be eligible for and pick one. Even cooler would be to also list if I would be grossly over/under qualified for the race.
  • More Gran Turismo-made and Daiki Kasho Songs
  • More legendary drivers in game such as Keichi Tsuchiya etc
  • Museum—Instead of cards, I had originally hoped it would be a way to view every car in the game, neatly presented with it’s information, in different groups and combinations; like all of the Skyline GT-Rs in a row with a historical perspective of them, all of the Super GT cars included for 2012 with a summary of that year’s races, etc.
  • Multiple unique soundtracks for Parts Shop, Auction & Car Dealership
  • Return to the structure of the GT World Championship in GT2. You had to win all the national events before moving onto the regional rounds, which you had to win in order to unlock the World Championship. However, I'd also put a bit of a twist on it: once you won a set of national events, a regional event would open up. That event would be decided by the nation that you won a round in. So if I raced in the German leagues with a Volkswagen, I would only be able to compete in the European regional events. Likewise, if I won the Japanese series in a Honda, only the Asia-Pacific regional event would be unlocked. Furthermore, the regional event I competed in would dictate the kind of car I could use in the World Championship - so if I won the European events, I could only use a European car. The other regional and national events would only unlock once I won the World Championship, at which point I could begin the process again. In order to get 100% completion, I would have to win the World Championship in a car from every region.
  • Store to buy suits, helmets, horns, helmets etc
  
  GAMEPLAY - GT Life Garage Features
  • A customizable virtual garage that our avatar can walk around in which we see in first-person perspective. Where we can view our cars and have a look around the interior.

And the ability to save progress of a given event, so you organize longer events that can take several days to finish. Of course you'd have to be able to do something else when you come back to the game and resume your event / championship when you like (unlike the current GT5 saved endurance races, in which you have to resume the race and do nothing else until you quit or finish).
  • Ability to adjust each individual AI driver from skill to driving behavior
  • Ability to choose grid or rolling start
  • Ability to custom pick AI cars
  • Ability to set length of race by either laps (1-500) or time (1min - 24 hours)

  • Arcade mode like before, where every car you buy in GT Mode becomes indefinitely available in Arcade mode with all colors, etc
  • LAN mode
  • No AI driver has the same car as you
  • Time attack, free run and races. All tracks would be splitted to different stages, if a stage is beaten then player unlocks another tracks in Arcade Mode. In Arcade Mode player would also define her/his own race and would set up: how much laps, changeable weather, qualify section, car setup.
  
  GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing Features
  • "your fans" they get more in spectators stands over your career progression (wearing your team colours), and if you are more successful (just like in Drift flag system) people start to shout, scream and make noises while you drive by them, even better if you are lets say from Canada, they would shout "GOOO CANADA GOOO" and raise Canadian flags upon spectators stands, that would make tracks so much more alive.

  GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing - Modes
  • Ability to practice/work on specific sectors of a track. I've always wanted to be able to pick a track, set point A, then set point B, then practice a specific sector for a while.
  • Multi-class racing
  • Top Gear - A lot more challenges that would test your driving ability (mostly timed challenges with cones) and with interesting cars not a VW bus. This can be combined with the licenses tests.
    - Cast of the show as narrators for these challenges (Jeremy, James and Hammond) just to make it more authentic
    - Head to Head races between same-class cars in terms of top speed, cornering ability, drifting, drag races, etc.

It would involve standard racing events, rallying, stock cars, open-wheelers, karts and so on and so forth with one or two rounds of the series breing drawn on from each motorsport discipline. In order to enter, you would have to have one car from each discipline in your garage, and have won events in each discipline.
  
  GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing - Options
  • Optional "mandatory pit stop" during the race for re-fuelling (ie you can start the race with low amount of fuel so you make a pit stop early, or start with a lot of fuel at the beginning so that you do a pit stop late in the race)
  • Optional "tire grade change", for example if option is turned on, once during the race you need to switch between hard, medium or soft. So by the end of the race you have raced with at least 2 different tire types.
  • Options to customize whole career experience, Mechanical Damages On/Off etc
  • Two modes....production cars and racing cars. Production cars follows a similar pattern to GT5, low performance to hyper car in all sorts of disciplines, allowed to tune. Racing cars goes from karts, up to touring cars (Clio cup, world touring cars, dtm, V8s), through GTs, onto prototypes, through single seaters (formula ford/renault, F3/F2, GP3/GP2, Indy car, F1), NASCAR, Rally, Drag, Drift. Ie following how a racing driver becomes a racing driver.

  • More ambient sound such as birds and insects
  • Move the barriers further away from the rally tracks
  • Ocassional trash on tracks
  • Puddles of water form on certain tracks at certain areas after rainfall
  • Racing line rubbers in during race, or over race weekend.
  • Rain washes away the line and you can get a drying line after rain stops
  • Remove invisible barriers
  • Season change in some tracks
  • Sunset and Sunrise depends on real world location and time of year
  • Various degrees of rain; the higher the number, the harder it will rain. i.e. 1 = Light Drizzle, 10 = Torrential Downpour.
  • Weather depends on real world weather patterns. Example: Theirs a much higher chance for rain at Spa then Laguna Seca. And Drag Racing Tracks Please and Way more customization options Everything Can be upgraded different superchargers Twin Turbos adjusting the boost and all that on a car COme on The Ability to do w.e The hell you want to your car if we had these things there would be less modding if u just gave us what we want grand turismo all Dealer ships should have alot of cars as many as possible We Dc About all the hondas and Nissan Give us some more american Cars MORE MUSCLES CARS I DONT WANT 93 different Version Of The Gtr Or Civic Js

[mister dog]

We can practically copy-paste the "things you like to see in GT6" posts here.

Ok here goes nothing:

-Different race format (chasing the rabbit AKA traffic driver just does NOT work).
-Improve the AI
-Put in decent engine sounds at last
-Ditch those PS2 era standards and less fixation on fantasy cars.
-Implement proper seasonal challenges (be original for once).
-Bring the career mode up to 21st century standards.
-Get the online mode up to 21st century standards, leaderboards!
-Being able to choose race length and difficulty, options please.

Check all these boxes and you win mister dog back.

Hopefully, they do what they did to GT6's standards and upgrade their geometry and textures.

Wouldn't the time needed to do that be better implemented on adding premium cars instead you could wonder...

 

[karelpipa]

BONUS feature that would allow us to race on a proper PS1 (GT1/GT2) tracks with GT7 car models and opposite of that (ie GT7 tracks with GT1/GT2 cars OR with new cars, but with GT1/GT2 detail.

 

[DonZonda]

Motion blur, steady 60fps, better camera views.

- Ability to rstrict power limiter to just 10% (or whatever you like) not 50%.
It ruins online races where tuning is allowed.

I.e.
900HP car could only be limited by 10% to 810HP. not to 450HP

- Much better gear tuning menu. Well they got it best so far in the very first Gran Turismo and from then it got worse and worse. Now we have completely unusable menu for that!
Also applies for torque and power graph where it was best either in GT1 or GT2

See gear ratio tuning menu:
Simple and easy setting of your gears.

 

[MatheusBond]

– I think they're aiming for a realistic limitation of power. I mean, imagine racing a 900 HP car with only 10% of its power (90 HP)?
– And the current gear ratio menu works almost the exact same as that, except for the missing "Top Speed" slider.

There's no limiting the use of the power limiter online which is what @karelpipa is talking about. As a host, I'd also like the option of limiting the use of the power limiter to any number from 0-50%. Helps narrow down the car choices and keeps the same cars like the LFA and NSX and Elise from being used over and over with massive detuning.

The gear ratio adjustments in GT5 were fine, they were changed for the worse in GT6. No top speed adjustment and the higher gear sliders are far too sensitive. 2 steps backwards IMO.

Seems I misread what he said first and I have no clue of the extent of what went wrong with the gears in GT6 since I barely played GT5.

 

[Johnnypenso]

No problem. The tranny adjustment in GT5 was way more user friendly.

Something I'd like to see, at least in "practice" mode in GT7 is a rewind button. Make a mistake on a corner, hit the button, go back a few hundred feet and try again. I think it would be an invaluable tool for learning new courses.

 

[Superdirector]

Besides tracks, cars, etc, we need to see a better user interface & menus with options that set the player
up for a better GT experience. >Comment will be updated later.<

 

[Johnnypenso]

Also for GT7 practice mode, the ability to place braking markers beside the track as a teaching tool. Ability to perhaps download a set of braking markers from another pilot would be a great addition too.

Oh, that just reminded me of something in GT3 that sparked something. You remember how you started off in GT3
License challenges? Well, I got this idea, you see, if you can go into a practice mode that allows you to set up a
start and finish or A-B practice run, you can constantly practice a loop run of that portion of the track & not have to
start the race all over again.

I call it A-B Mode. It's would be for the Test drive menus or options. Like; for example

Test drive,
FREE RUN (Note :That your breaking line feature is optional with your ghost settings, fair enough it is) 4* idea.
A&B RUN

This is a perfect example of evolving gameplay types. I wouldn't mine voting on that other comment you just
stated. It's exactly what we should be talking about in category. Software playability.

Yes, I would like to see them bring back the GT1 style gear tuning menu. That one was the best. Why did later games never show the top speed in each gear like GT1 did? I would remove some of the guesswork involved tuning transmissions. I don't know what else I want in GT7 (I made a post here earlier though), but I just don't want Fit forcing to carry over from 6.

Oh I see, good thing you have a picture of that. Well, I never knew GT had that in it before. I only played GT3-6.
Generally, like the last two comments, this is a UI upgrade. As long as you have a categorization discussion related
to improving GT, I guess it can be cataloged.

Your particular "would like to be seen improved wish" is the >Tuning UI display features. This is something that might
need a bit of thought and consideration, but I think it would work. All that is needed is finding a display filter for it,
so that it allows you to turn on those details, as some may find them annoying, but every wins Naveek, everyone
wins here, with the simplest things of all; display options.

On second thought, thought, they just might need to re setup how that fits into the interface & well, it shouldn't
even matter. Also, I find it a bit petty, for some youtuber to ignor this feature. Being able to control torque in the
gears is a very helpful thing. Allows for performance control. Well, Two things I like, as I can't condition my car to
keep up with rigged or hacked cars in GT. So I like this. These are just my random thoughts, but for the most part,
I support.

Power limiter 10%? No way! I want Power Limiter not just 50% but 200% just like the Weight Ballast. What do you think?

- Gear ratio: You're right. It should indicate the top speed of every gear and the top speed. Like GT5. Here's an example below.

 

[karelpipa]

– I think they're aiming for a realistic limitation of power. I mean, imagine racing a 900 HP car with only 10% of its power (90 HP)?

Sorry you got me wrong. I want exact opposite.

Also for GT7 practice mode, the ability to place braking markers beside the track as a teaching tool. Ability to perhaps download a set of braking markers from another pilot would be a great addition too.

That is great idea. I could be visible during races too. (each driver will see just their markers of course)

Well, I got this idea, you see, if you can go into a practice mode that allows you to set up a start and finish or A-B practice run, you can constantly practice a loop run of that portion of the track & not have to start the race all over again.

A better idea would be to include a rewind feature in time trial, rewind is a great tool for practicing laps in time trial.
You could practice with any car at any track and repeat any section of the track as many times as you want, if you use the rewind feature your lap time gets invalidated and doesn't get posted in the leaderboards.
Forza & F1 games have already done that, it would be a nice feature to include in a future GT game.

Yes, that I was going to talk! Rewind! Rewind option should be in GT7 in case of commiting mistakes (ex: spin out in a corner)

Yeah, but then in a way, it would be a rip off of Forza Motorsport. The first Idea I put in, ( the one about A-B Mode)
is clearly an original mode. Just turn in on, set the portions of the track you want to practice on (manually of course)
and then, just like start race, you click the Start A-B Run button & your in. To leave, just hit the leave button & you're
back to the race menu. Remember, you can start a regular free run or just start the A-B run.

By the way, that button will not highlite if you don't have a free run setup turned on in the free run setup menu.
Free Run, A-B Run, Save Rply, Load Reply, Load ghost, save ghost, A-B Run settings, Options, exit.

It is an original idea & works at that. Fits right into the game. Everybody has ideas, but try to be original with ideas
& they pay off in the long run. That's how I see it because of the fact that idea actually is from Forza Motorsport.

God forbid we put Forza 5 ideas in GT7. Forza is for kids, GT is for real racing period. Yeah, you could put it in, but
seriously, the A-B loop run mode works perfectly. It won't save ghosts, but it will allow you to see your ghosts'
breaking line. Note :while using A-B Run, you can't save ghosts, just your lines... Fair enough..

 

[FS7]

1) ... it would be a rip off of Forza Motorsport...
... God forbid we put Forza 5 ideas in GT7.

2) The first Idea I put in, ( the one about A-B Mode) is clearly an original mode. Just turn in on, set the portions of the track you want to practice on (manually of course) and then, just like start race, you click the Start A-B Run button & your in. To leave, just hit the leave button & you're back to the race menu. Remember, you can start a regular free run or just start the A-B run.

1) Grid had rewind in 2008, rewind didn't appear in Forza until FM3 in 2009, so if anything it's a Grid rip-off, not a Forza rip-off. Even so, there's nothing bad about implementing good features from other games into GT.

2) Nothing against your idea. All I'm saying is that rewind is way more practical.
A-B mode requires you to choose a section of the track, wait for the game to load it, and hope your car starts the selected section at the proper speed. If you want to repeat the section you hit the restart button, but if you want to keep going to the next section you need to quit back to the race menu, choose the next section, wait for the game to load it, hope your car starts at the proper speed. Then repeat the same thing for each section of the track.
All of that is impractical and time-consuming. With rewind you start a lap, if you want to repeat a section you hit the rewind button, choose where you want to go back to, and try that section again. If you want to go on to the next section you simply keep driving, no need to quit to the race menu and waste time loading race menu then loading the next section.
PD has already done something similar to your idea in the Nurburgring special event in GT5 and the Silverstone time trials in the GT6 demo. Not a bad idea, but to me practicing those same tracks in FM4 with rewind and no loading screens was much more practical and time-efficient.

 

[l_alcala_d]

I didn't know that the CTR was that slippery... even for an RR drivetrain. 🤬!

Hehehe... Disable every aid in the game, just pick up a YellowBird, without any mod, hell even don't change the tires... and have some fun...

 

[l_alcala_d]

@Harsk100 all I need from this list is this:
CARS - Customization

• Ability to carbon fiber more panels (trunk, roof, doors) or the entire car
• Ability to position mufflers (straight, right or left, upwards)
• Detailed RM. Car should be able to be modified into different classes of cars. E.g An Evo could be made into a rally car, a time trial car, a race car (GT500, LM, BTTC, WTTC)ect. You should be able to choose different types of engines for each RM. E.g For say the rally cars you should be able to change the engines to fit into different classes, WRC, Pikes Peak, Group B? Unlimited class. The drivetrain should also be able to be changed. E.g 4WD for the rally cars, RWD for the time trail cars, and whatever drivetrains are allowed in the category the car is.
• Tinted glass (various shades)

CARS - Customization Parts

• Larger selection of Rims (available to all cars)
• Larger selection of Spoilers/Wings. All wings in the game should be available for any car (except race cars)
• OEM/Aftermarket Body Kits (not just splitters and spoilers)
• OEM/Aftermarket Bumpers
• OEM/Aftermarket Exhaust Tips
• OEM/Aftermarket Grills
• OEM/Aftermarket Headlights / Taillights (yellow, blue, LED etc)
• OEM/Aftermarket Rims in diffrent sizes - not just one size like GT5.
• OEM/Aftermarket Seats (Sparco, Momo, RaceTech)
• OEM/Aftermarket Steering Wheels
• Steering Wheel covers
• Strobe Lights

CARS - Damage

• Dirt and sand can get into engine or clog filters
• Engine Failures
• Gear Box Failures (or individual gears)
• Glass breaks
• High Speed crashes can lead to instant DNF
• Hubcaps can fall off if possible on real wheel
• Occasional Fires after crashes
• Oil leaks
• Random Failures (possibility increased with rough driving/wrecking/poor maintenance)
• Realistic Damage can be turned on or off
• Rust
• Time-Scaled damage. Occurs when the car does not have chassis reinforcement and in endurance events. This can mostly happen when entering a corner, weather/climate, or constantly bumping into walls or other cars. For example: Bob enters the Karussell corner at the Nurburgring and when leaving the corner he noticed that his front-right brake is not working. Time-Scaled damages can also effect brakes, transmission box, gearbox, chassis, wheels, engine/turbo, lights (front and rear), aerodynamics, weight, oil, fuel, exhaust, etc...

CARS - Functions

• Ability to adjust seats
• Ability to change radio stations in car (stations depend on country)
• Ability to toggle boost
• Cruise control
• Rear wipers should work too when its raining

CARS - Gameplay

• Ability to run out of fuel where you completely stop and a tow truck has to come get you
• Ability to stall the engine
• Ability to turn engine on and off
• Real gearbox for each car (example mclaren SLR, in real life its an automatic but in GT its like driving manual with a delay from 1st to 2nd)
• Simulated automatic gearbox (if you gently push the throttle it will shift earlier and if you pin the throttle down it will kickdown to lower gear)
• Tire Blowouts
• Tire Flatspots
• Working Fuel Guage

CARS - Maintenance

• Brake pad & rotor changes
• Clutch changes
• Dirt, oil, bugs, insects, and Grime Accumulate on Windshield and headlights
• The car actually gets dirty and when you go clean it in GT Auto it actually looks dirty and then gets washed.

CARS - Physics - Aerodynamic

• Blowovers
• Draft/slipstream efficiency updated to take into account speed, car shape/drag, and horsepower.
• Revamped aerodynamic physics (drag doesn't exist when you increase downforce)
• Turbulent air from the car in front of you affects handling, disruption severity depends on speed, drag, and aero dependency
• Wind

CARS - Physics - Crashes

CARS - Physics - Mechanical

• ABS 1 - 10 doesnt have a huge difference where as ABS 0 is truly off, it would be good if 0 was off and 10 was fully on and the rest were spaced correctly inbetween, i.e. so it would be possible to lock your brakes on abs 2 if u stamped on them

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Economy

• Make it harder to be rich
• No credit Limit
• Races should not give out a large wad of cash untill the very end of the career mode. You shouldn't be able to buy every single car in the game without ever starting an endurance race. You should never be able to repeat a race over and over for money.
  
  This is one of the key crippled features of any GT game, and even most other racing games. Any sense of accomplishment is demolished by making it possible to grind an easy race over and over again, making earning new cars in the career mode simply mean nothing, nothing at all, making the entire upgrade system and it's various tiers of items completely meaningless.
• Real Currency (dollar, pound, euro, yen etc)
• Selling a car with tuning parts or modifications decreases or increases its value accordingly
• Used car prices change depending on mileage and condition

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Features

• 1,000 XP between each level
• A system in GT6 where you need to have a minimum number of A-spec points to unlock the next set of events. The B-class licence would be available from the start of the game, and all the A-spec points you acquired would go towards unlocking the A-class licence. Once you unlocked the A-class licence, B-class events would stop paying points, so you would have to compete in A-class events to earn more points and unlock the next licence in the sequence. Rinse, lather and repeat. Of course, the points required for the next licence would have to be set at a reasonable level. You wouldn't have to win everything with 200-point races just to get the next licence, but you would have to compete in a fair number of 60-point (the number assigned to evenly-matched races) events to unlock the next licence. This would make the game accessible to new players, whilst allowing experienced players the challenge of rapidly progressing through the game. It would also clamp down on GT4's easy-progression problem, where all you had to do was earn the A-class licence and spam the entry-level events at Costa di Amalfi to earn a rally raid car that could be sold for about 160,000 credits.
• Ability to buy a shell of a car and be able to build or convert to a specific race series, Rally/Race/Drift etc, from the ground up
• Ability to park my car, turn off the engine, get out, and sit on my hood. Maybe even be able to walk around. Imagine being able to decorate/customize your car inside and out, and then also be able to go to car meets/shows, and show off your car. You know, park your car, get out, pop the hood open, etc. Then you could chill with friends, chat, rate cars, etc. IMO, that would be absolutely stunning.
• Cool music like previous GT games not loads of Jazz
• Detailed Career stats, top speed, credits earned/spent, highest G-Force, most barrel rolls, etc
• Easter eggs such as J.Bond driving the Esprit
• For those races that require specific PP or cars, instead of making me click on first Entry Requirements and then Garage, just let me go to the garage from the main area that shows the different races and filter for that race's requirements.
• License to level relations. Eg. To pass level 10 you need a certain license.
• License tests Mandatory
• load a car in the garage and then see all of the possible races that I would be eligible for and pick one. Even cooler would be to also list if I would be grossly over/under qualified for the race.
• More Gran Turismo-made and Daiki Kasho Songs
• More legendary drivers in game such as Keichi Tsuchiya etc
• Museum—Instead of cards, I had originally hoped it would be a way to view every car in the game, neatly presented with it’s information, in different groups and combinations; like all of the Skyline GT-Rs in a row with a historical perspective of them, all of the Super GT cars included for 2012 with a summary of that year’s races, etc.
• Multiple unique soundtracks for Parts Shop, Auction & Car Dealership
• Return to the structure of the GT World Championship in GT2. You had to win all the national events before moving onto the regional rounds, which you had to win in order to unlock the World Championship. However, I'd also put a bit of a twist on it: once you won a set of national events, a regional event would open up. That event would be decided by the nation that you won a round in. So if I raced in the German leagues with a Volkswagen, I would only be able to compete in the European regional events. Likewise, if I won the Japanese series in a Honda, only the Asia-Pacific regional event would be unlocked. Furthermore, the regional event I competed in would dictate the kind of car I could use in the World Championship - so if I won the European events, I could only use a European car. The other regional and national events would only unlock once I won the World Championship, at which point I could begin the process again. In order to get 100% completion, I would have to win the World Championship in a car from every region.
• Store to buy suits, helmets, horns, helmets etc

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Garage Features

And the ability to save progress of a given event, so you organize longer events that can take several days to finish. Of course you'd have to be able to do something else when you come back to the game and resume your event / championship when you like (unlike the current GT5 saved endurance races, in which you have to resume the race and do nothing else until you quit or finish).
• Ability to adjust each individual AI driver from skill to driving behavior

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing Features

• "your fans" they get more in spectators stands over your career progression (wearing your team colours), and if you are more successful (just like in Drift flag system) people start to shout, scream and make noises while you drive by them, even better if you are lets say from Canada, they would shout "GOOO CANADA GOOO" and raise Canadian flags upon spectators stands, that would make tracks so much more alive.

• Multi-class racing
• Top Gear - A lot more challenges that would test your driving ability (mostly timed challenges with cones) and with interesting cars not a VW bus. This can be combined with the licenses tests.
  - Cast of the show as narrators for these challenges (Jeremy, James and Hammond) just to make it more authentic
  - Head to Head races between same-class cars in terms of top speed, cornering ability, drifting, drag races, etc.
  - Beat the Stig mode where you try to match or beat the stig's time of different cars on the list they have on the show (yes that means PD have to make all those vehicles that appear on that list)

• Rain washes away the line and you can get a drying line after rain stops
• Remove invisible barriers
• Season change in some tracks
• Sunset and Sunrise depends on real world location and time of year
• Various degrees of rain; the higher the number, the harder it will rain. i.e. 1 = Light Drizzle, 10 = Torrential Downpour.
• Weather depends on real world weather patterns. Example: Theres a much higher chance for rain at Spa then Laguna Seca.

Yep,It is still a lot of these.

MMM... Theres is a game outside there that already has (at least) 30 % of this???

Off course not! 👍

Do not forget these features below:
CARS - Customization

• Ability to carbon fiber more panels (trunk, roof, doors) or the entire car
• Ability to change center-cabs (Audi cabs on some VW-Wheels ex)
• Ability to change interior color
• Ability to convert the transmission from H-Gauge to a sequential or paddle shift
• Ability to mount extra full beam lights on the car, and place them where you want, or at least have a few reasonable options. Like grill, roof or down below the licence plate.
• Ability to position mufflers (straight, right or left, upwards)
• Ability to rename your car model to reflect your modification. (For example: Nissian Skyline GTR34, after your specific tunning on the stock car, you can rename the car to JG R34...etc)
• Detailed RM. Car should be able to be modified into different classes of cars. E.g An Evo could be made into a rally car, a time trial car, a race car (GT500, LM, BTTC, WTTC)ect. You should be able to choose different types of engines for each RM. E.g For say the rally cars you should be able to change the engines to fit into different classes, WRC, Pikes Peak, Group B? Unlimited class. The drivetrain should also be able to be changed. E.g 4WD for the rally cars, RWD for the time trail cars, and whatever drivetrains are allowed in the category the car is.
• License Plate Editor
• Mount Spacers on every car/wheels
• Racing Mod Option for every car
• Rim / Tire size options, including mismatched rims in color and size

• Rust
• Time-Scaled damage. Occurs when the car does not have chassis reinforcement and in endurance events. This can mostly happen when entering a corner, weather/climate, or constantly bumping into walls or other cars. For example: Bob enters the Karussell corner at the Nurburgring and when leaving the corner he noticed that his front-right brake is not working. Time-Scaled damages can also effect brakes, transmission box, gearbox, chassis, wheels, engine/turbo, lights (front and rear), aerodynamics, weight, oil, fuel, exhaust, etc...

CARS - Gameplay

• Ability to run out of fuel where you completely stop and a tow truck has to come get you
• Ability to stall the engine
• Ability to turn engine on and off
• Brakefade
• Clutch Slipping
• More realistic gear changes (In GT5 it's almost instantaneous, whereas in real life, it would be at least a 2 second gap between gear changes due to having to depress the clutch, place the stick/shifter in the correct gear, and then releasing the clutch and gradually increasing the throttle. Now if the car has DSG or paddle shift, or CVT, etc. I can understand quick gear changes. [or none at all if it's CVT] All I'm saying is, make the gear changes and sounds more realistic.)
• Over revving Damages engine
• Real gearbox for each car (example mclaren SLR, in real life its an automatic but in GT its like driving manual with a delay from 1st to 2nd)
• Simulated automatic gearbox (if you gently push the throttle it will shift earlier and if you pin the throttle down it will kickdown to lower gear)
• Tire Blowouts
• Tire Flatspots
• Tyre blistering. (Caused by overheating road tyres. Big chunks of rubber start falling off the tyre and it's like driving on clay'ish tyres.)
• Visible Suspension with functions
• Water Temperature (not enough intercoolers etc can raise temp)
• Working Fuel Guage

CARS - Maintenance

• Brake pad & rotor changes
• Clutch changes
• Dirt, oil, bugs, insects, and Grime Accumulate on Windshield and headlights
• The car actually gets dirty and when you go clean it in GT Auto it actually looks dirty and then gets washed.
• Windshield Wiper Fluid

CARS - Physics - Aerodynamic

• Blowovers
• Draft/slipstream efficiency updated to take into account speed, car shape/drag, and horsepower.
• Revamped aerodynamic physics (drag doesn't exist when you increase downforce)
• Turbulent air from the car in front of you affects handling, disruption severity depends on speed, drag, and aero dependency
• Wind

CARS - Physics - Crashes

• Better collision physics
• Better off course on grass physics
• Soft-body physics

CARS - Physics - Mechanical

• ABS 1 - 10 doesnt have a huge difference where as ABS 0 is truly off, it would be good if 0 was off and 10 was fully on and the rest were spaced correctly inbetween, i.e. so it would be possible to lock your brakes on abs 2 if u stamped on them
• Better low-speed physics (burnouts and donuts!)
• Better suspensions and tyre model /contact with surface is wrong
• Gyroscopic effects of the engine on cars
• Harder Tire compounds last much longer then softer compounds, at least twice as long
• Have the latteral g-forces to be calculated more accurately. Not just a simple grip multiplyer as is now.
• More focus on a simulation feel than look, especially when using wheels
• More realistic tire model in all weather conditions
• Offline and online physics absolutely identical
• Rim and tire width should also be reflected in the game mechanically
• Suspension setups and car weight effect tire wear. i.e. A car with a lot of camber and/or weight (or both) will go through tires at a faster rate than a lighter one w/ less camber.
• The way the car behaves under braking through the entry of the corner needs to be more realistic
• The way the car responds when you get sideways to corrections needs to be more realistic
• Tires last longer overall
• Track Temperature readouts, and has a performance/tyre wear effect
• Wheelies possible

CARS - Sound

• Blow-off valve sound
• Brake squeal
• KERS recovery sound during braking
• More Realistic Engine Sound

• Transmission Whine
• Sonic-Boom after 768mph
• Wider Range of Sound

CARS - Testing

• A scale where you can see exactly how much the car weights with no fluids, all the way up to all fluids in car + driver.
• Better analysis software. Such as MoTeC i2!
• Crash tests
• Dyno
• Expand upon the data logging system (log more sensors)
• Tuning Adjustments are easier to notice
• Wind Tunnel - Allows you to view airflow over the body and underbody of the car. Also generates drag coefficient numbers. Able to change tuning settings on car while in wind tunnel such as downforce, ride height, etc. Also able to remove parts like wings and mirrors to test the affects of such modifications.

CARS - Tuning Adjustments

• 4 Point Tuning instead of Front/Back
• Ability to lower car to realistic stance
• Build to exact horsepower
• Bump Stops
• Caster
• Engine performance improvement system to be streamlined and made less needlessly complex. There's no point in having many different parts which all they do is shifting the entire torque curve to the right by 100 rpm and/or increasing values along the entire engine powerband by 4% or so. There's no strategy involved, no drawback, all parts essentially affect the engine in the same unrealistic way. So my idea is: since PD aren't going to simulate the fluid-dynamics behavior of each component to the engine (it would be way too much work) they could simply add a slider or two to shift the powerband in believable manner, which would be alone a great improvement over the current system, where engines don't change in character at all, even after tuning them to the maximum. It's something so simple to achieve that I just made an example in Excel. This example simply interpolates in different steps between a "stock", low rpm engine configuration, and a high tuned, high rpm tuned version. One, instead of buying engine "parts", would buy the "right" to set the sliders to higher values, which would have progressively increasing costs.

• NOS Boost Levels
• Removal of Mirrors, Wings etc to gain weight/aero advantage
• Restrictor Plates
• Rev Limiter
• Scroll tips as to what you are doing and how it may effect the car. Tips are geared toward the type of car you are driving. When tuning at certain tracks the tips should change to help you tune better for that track. ex: "this is a fast track with a lot of elevation changes, you may want to tune for ...." or "this is a bumpy track with tight turns, you may want to tune for ....".
• Steering Lock
• Tire Pressure
• Turbo Boost Levels
• Wheel offset

CARS - Tuning Parts

• A much better tyre modelling. I'd like to see the ability to fit the car with other tyre dimesntions than OEM. I.e adding 265's to the front of a M3 CSL from the stock 235's.
• Adding a race suspension to a Street car will Change tire width and will widen tire possition to the max the car's body allow

• OEM driving modes for cars that come with comfort, sports, race, etc. modes. For example, put an Audi R8 in sports mode after being in comfort and there is a slight difference in performance; dampers stiffen, throttle response tweaked, etc. No mods or tuning needed because the car comes with these abilities from the factory. Think Lamborghini and switching to Corsa mode (Corsa right???)
• Restrictor Plates for NASCAR
• Semi-Automatic Shift Mode - Cars will upshift and downshift automatically, but the normal shift buttons can be pressed to upshift or downshift sooner... especially downshifting.

These can begin in the first year with amateur or even beginner races moving up to say year 4 or 5 (if you're good enough) where you are LMP or F1 Championships over say 15 consecutive weekends. In the weekdays you can have other smaller championships that are one off races or 3 or 4 race meetings again ranging in difficulty from year one upwards. You can even say have a Rally Tuesday kind of thing where every Tuesday its a rally event.
• A career mode which starts, lets say from the year 1954 for example, giving cars for use which were available at that time, and then continue all the way towards the 2010++ while "releasing" cars when these were announced for public for the first time.
• A real, honest career mode with a cast of AI players that have distinct personalities. Advancing through the amateur divisions. Meaningful choices like getting offers from different teams and having to decide who to drive for. Struggling to get sponsorship. Basically being a racing career simulator, and not just a driving simulator.
• Ability to buy insurance with multiple coverage plans to cover damage costs. Car Insurance covers a car from damages for any amount of races. For example: Bob pays 250,000Cr. for his car. Bob get a big scratch on the right side of the vehicle from a race. The Repair cost 1,000Cr. Now Bob has 249,000Cr. for his car. Bob's car got totaled from a race (Bob is a bad driver). The Repair Cost 300,000Cr. Bob uses the rest of the insurance money from the car. Bob owes 51,000Cr. due to repairs. Now Bob can use the winnings to pay off the repair or spend credits.

• Ability to hire your own race team & pitcrew with custom suits and helmets
• Ability to transfer cars already bought in GT5 into GT6
• Bonus Exp/Credit for the least amount of aids used
• Companies like BMW could sponsor you for your the next season, & recieving special types of team cars that are not available any where else
• Earn sponsors whose logo you can add onto your racing suit and they pay you a salary
• Possibly the ability to do a career with multiple seasons and get job offers (not choose a series, the game offers you a job) after or during each season in different series.
• Separate mileage counter for A-Spec and B-Spec
• Several career paths where the player decides which types of races he is more interested in (muscle cars -> drag races -> Nascar) (Precision racing -> Touring car races) (Racing karts -> Super lightweight cars) (japanese cars -> drift -> touge) and so on

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Dealership Features

• Ability to choose colour of interior, change seat design & rims when buying a car that have different styles
• Ability to negotiate used car prices
• Ability to test drive cars before buying as long as you have enough credits to buy them. Some cars are not test-drivable.

• Each manufacturer has a theme song when visiting their dealership
• Exclusive prize cars (LMP prototypes etc)
• Full service when buying used cars option
• If an auto maker offers a body kit for a specific car, then it should be in the game as an areo package. For example, the Mazda RX-8 comes plain. There is also an R3 package. And for the 2004-2008 RX-8 there is also a specific areo package along with the Mazdaspeed kit. These bits and pieces of areo should be selectable.
• Sometimes 2 or 3 of the same car model may appear in the used car lot with different colors and varying levels of mileae and condition
• Used cars of the same model vary greatly in color and condition

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Economy

• Car prices based on CURRENT value not original sale price. Example: A McLaren F1 cost $1,000,000 when it first went on sale but now is worth $4,000,000. Auction prices and used car sells should be used as an indicator for pricing older cars
• Credit payouts that don't make you feel short changed. Rewarded appropriately for coming 2nd or 3rd or 4th etc
• Make it harder to be rich
• No credit Limit
• Races should not give out a large wad of cash untill the very end of the career mode. You shouldn't be able to buy every single car in the game without ever starting an endurance race. You should never be able to repeat a race over and over for money.
  
  This is one of the key crippled features of any GT game, and even most other racing games. Any sense of accomplishment is demolished by making it possible to grind an easy race over and over again, making earning new cars in the career mode simply mean nothing, nothing at all, making the entire upgrade system and it's various tiers of items completely meaningless.
• Real Currency (dollar, pound, euro, yen etc)
• Selling a car with tuning parts or modifications decreases or increases its value accordingly
• Used car prices change depending on mileage and condition

GAMEPLAY - GT Life - Features

• 1,000 XP between each level
• A system in GT6 where you need to have a minimum number of A-spec points to unlock the next set of events. The B-class licence would be available from the start of the game, and all the A-spec points you acquired would go towards unlocking the A-class licence. Once you unlocked the A-class licence, B-class events would stop paying points, so you would have to compete in A-class events to earn more points and unlock the next licence in the sequence. Rinse, lather and repeat. Of course, the points required for the next licence would have to be set at a reasonable level. You wouldn't have to win everything with 200-point races just to get the next licence, but you would have to compete in a fair number of 60-point (the number assigned to evenly-matched races) events to unlock the next licence. This would make the game accessible to new players, whilst allowing experienced players the challenge of rapidly progressing through the game. It would also clamp down on GT4's easy-progression problem, where all you had to do was earn the A-class licence and spam the entry-level events at Costa di Amalfi to earn a rally raid car that could be sold for about 160,000 credits.
• Ability to buy a shell of a car and be able to build or convert to a specific race series, Rally/Race/Drift etc, from the ground up
• Ability to buy a duplicate of any car in my garage including all mods and settings with the purchase price including any upgrades.
• Ability to park my car, turn off the engine, get out, and sit on my hood. Maybe even be able to walk around. Imagine being able to decorate/customize your car inside and out, and then also be able to go to car meets/shows, and show off your car. You know, park your car, get out, pop the hood open, etc. Then you could chill with friends, chat, rate cars, etc. IMO, that would be absolutely stunning.
• Allow me to customize a different button other than the 'start' button to re-start races. On steering wheels, it can be difficult to hit the start button in a timely manner... it would be much better to hit circle or square etc. And I would like it to be a shortcut to 're-start' races if possible, with just a confirmation prompt.. 90% of the time when I hit START I just want to re-start the race. How about a shortcut fellas?

• Better loading times
• Celebrity Narrator (Chuck Norris, Samuel L Jackson, etc)
• Cool music like previous GT games not loads of Jazz
• Detailed Career stats, top speed, credits earned/spent, highest G-Force, most barrel rolls, etc
• Easter eggs such as J.Bond driving the Esprit
• For those races that require specific PP or cars, instead of making me click on first Entry Requirements and then Garage, just let me go to the garage from the main area that shows the different races and filter for that race's requirements.
• GT TV improvement (Live Stream of 24h and other endurance races with Nissan involment. Including exclusive interviews and so on.)
• Higher level limit
• If I go to start a race where I am not in and don't own an eligible car (and it's not a tire or turning thing, but the car itself), give me an option to go straight to the used/new car dealer and filter for only the cars that would work for that race option.
• License to level relations. Eg. To pass level 10 you need a certain license.
• License tests Mandatory
• load a car in the garage and then see all of the possible races that I would be eligible for and pick one. Even cooler would be to also list if I would be grossly over/under qualified for the race.
• More Gran Turismo-made and Daiki Kasho Songs
• More legendary drivers in game such as Keichi Tsuchiya etc
• Museum—Instead of cards, I had originally hoped it would be a way to view every car in the game, neatly presented with it’s information, in different groups and combinations; like all of the Skyline GT-Rs in a row with a historical perspective of them, all of the Super GT cars included for 2012 with a summary of that year’s races, etc.
• Multiple unique soundtracks for Parts Shop, Auction & Car Dealership
• Overall consistency. UI, track design and graphics, car design and graphics and the game design itself (racing/progression structure) should feel consistent. It should feel like it's all the same game. It should feel like it belongs.
• Parts store
• Proper ways of blocking the possibily to clone cars through backup savefiles etc so theres really a kind of economy around rare cars & great livery
• Return to the structure of the GT World Championship in GT2. You had to win all the national events before moving onto the regional rounds, which you had to win in order to unlock the World Championship. However, I'd also put a bit of a twist on it: once you won a set of national events, a regional event would open up. That event would be decided by the nation that you won a round in. So if I raced in the German leagues with a Volkswagen, I would only be able to compete in the European regional events. Likewise, if I won the Japanese series in a Honda, only the Asia-Pacific regional event would be unlocked. Furthermore, the regional event I competed in would dictate the kind of car I could use in the World Championship - so if I won the European events, I could only use a European car. The other regional and national events would only unlock once I won the World Championship, at which point I could begin the process again. In order to get 100% completion, I would have to win the World Championship in a car from every region.
• Save Files Locked
• Skippable car puchase animations
• Smaller updates
• Store to buy suits, helmets, horns, helmets etc
• Take a page out of Amazon on demand (using the Playstation 3 App) and give me a visual menu to continue a race series where I have already started. For example, suppose I'm halfway done getting my IA license, have finished 2 of 3 PP500 races, and 1 of 3 of the Turbo Challenge. It should give me a visual option to choose the next IA license, the next PP500 race or the next Turbo Challenge race without making me remember where I left off and what I have to do next. I'm old, my memory aint' what it used to be LOL.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Garage Features

• A customizable virtual garage that our avatar can walk around in which we see in first-person perspective. Where we can view our cars and have a look around the interior.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life GT Auto

• Ability to remove spoilers or other modifications
• Car wash removed
• Chassis restoration removed
• If you damage your car you need to repair it and unlike Forza the cost is representative. (Once had to pay 250,000 repair bill on a 35,000 car in Forza). If repair costs are too high, the option to write the car off.
• Engine restoration removed
• Individual components can be repaired

• Visibily see repairs and upgrades to your car and engine

GAMEPLAY - GT Life License Tests

• "gold or bust" mode. Essentially, it's fine to record when I get bronze or silver or beat my old time, but until I get gold, as soon as the race finishes, it should restart the race to try again. Then when I get gold, instead of the crazy cheering thing at the end and then loading the XP and Levels progress, just take me to the next race and it's starting line. Cut out all of the fluff. The one request is that the game saves my bronze, silver, and gold progress as soon as I earn those trophies in case of a power/system/data issue that causes me to abruptly shut down.
• Make License tests like real ones, maybe in some huge parking lot, alot of stuff to do on in (learn braking, hard turns, overtaking, sliding, learn to avoid real crash situations, reaction tests, driving/sliding in wet and recover car, real race driver instructions "how to" etc.)

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Menu Features

And the ability to save progress of a given event, so you organize longer events that can take several days to finish. Of course you'd have to be able to do something else when you come back to the game and resume your event / championship when you like (unlike the current GT5 saved endurance races, in which you have to resume the race and do nothing else until you quit or finish).
• Ability to adjust each individual AI driver from skill to driving behavior

• LAN mode
• No AI driver has the same car as you
• Time attack, free run and races. All tracks would be splitted to different stages, if a stage is beaten then player unlocks another tracks in Arcade Mode. In Arcade Mode player would also define her/his own race and would set up: how much laps, changeable weather, qualify section, car setup.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing Features

• "your fans" they get more in spectators stands over your career progression (wearing your team colours), and if you are more successful (just like in Drift flag system) people start to shout, scream and make noises while you drive by them, even better if you are lets say from Canada, they would shout "GOOO CANADA GOOO" and raise Canadian flags upon spectators stands, that would make tracks so much more alive.

• Balanced Level system with 100 levels
• Crew Chief/Engineer/spotter for NASCAR and other racing series who have one
• Detailed Post Race report of all sessions (can be saved and exported)
• Difficulty levels Easy
• Each championship in A-spec should have more than 5 races
• Leaderboards for A-Spec Events (offline)
• Mandatory pit stops
• Much better penalty system. You should only be penalised for going off the track if you gain an advantage. For example, a personal best sector time or gained position off the circuit. If you do gain a position, give us the opportunity to give the place back, if the person doesn't give up position then give a penalty.
• No AI driver has the same car as you
• Post-race podium and champagne celebration with beautiful girls

• Racing line shows correct line and braking markers (ex Forza 4)
• Random Championships after you beat them
• Reducing the PP of the car used should give you a better prize car
• Restrict alowed cars in races (similar to online, but even more): Legal road cars (seperate FR, FF, RR, MR, 4WD) engine types 2.0 and lover, 2.0 and higher, with turbos, without turbos etc..., GT500, GT300, DTM, F1, WRC (group A, group B etc.), Classic car races etc.
• Safety rating (like iracing)
• Single DLC cars &/or past unavailable DLC cars, should be able to be won in a 24 hour endurance race seasonal event, with in a 36 or 48hr aloud time session; with the possible option for friends to join, but only on the REAL TIME FORMAT...also with option for B-SPEC Team mate to maintain your position up to a 6 hr window.
• Teams (2 Peugeot 908s etc)
• Three tiers of A-Spec, each broken down further in a similar way the current A-spec is. Each tier would be simple:
  
  Tier 1: Road cars. Events allow only marginal modifications such as air filters, exhaust, non-racing suspension, no racing tires, only Stage 1 Engine builds and Turbo kits. Stage 1 weight removal etc. This helps keep cars from not only making the racing boring very quickly, but also helps players structure their prizes in more productive ways rather than over-modifying cars early on. The first level would essentially be limited to Kei-cars, old compacts (EG Civic SiR, S13-S14 Silvia) and new compacts (Peugeot 207 GTi). Level two would introduce sport compacts (Older Civic Type-Rs, Delta HF Integrale, S15 Silvias) and older performance cars (3000GT, 300ZX, 4th gen Camaro, C4 Corvette). Level three would introduce newer performance cars and high-level Japanese performance machines (like the NSX, R32-R34 GT-R's, 5th Gen Camaro) as well as older Muscle Cars (Challenger R/T, Mustang Mach 1). Level Four brings in high-performance GT's, low-end Supercars and high-end Supercars. (Corvette Z06/ZR1, R35 GT-R, Audi R8, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Aventador). cLevel Five recycles some events to a degree but puts them in championship format. Might also include 1-3 endurance events or more.
  
  Tier 2 would unlock after completing Level 2 of Tier 1. Tier 2 would include events for tuned cars and concept cars. Tuned cars would allow aero modifications in terms of spoilers. Stage 2 parts are now allowed in events. Short-geared Transmissions and adjustable sports suspension is allowed. Racing Hard tires are allowed. Level 1-4 would follow a similar structure as above. With an escalating mix of tuned street cars, real life tuned machines as well as concept cars coming in later, most of which being won in the proceeding events. Level 5 would again include a number of events that are similar to before, but in a championship format, followed by a group of short endurance races.
  
  Finally Tier 3 would include any and all race cars. All parts are available to be applied, but each event is strict about their application (some might not allow any at all, forcing you to drive stock or only lightly-tuned DTM's, SGT's etc). Level 1 would start you off in lower-powered Touring cars like Group N, S2000 and some unique RM's like the Prius and CR-Z. Level 2 would up the ante, with Group A, Super Touring and GT300 cars coming among others. Level 3 would bring up faster touring cars and FIA GT3/GT4 cars. DTM, and similar cars would be here. Finally Level 4 would bring up Indy/F1 style Formula cars (if there are lower powered open-wheel cars included in the game, they would be in the lower levels), Super GT500/JGTC 500 cars, NASCAR, Le Mans GT and Prototype cars and Hill climb racers. Level 5 would again follow the similar theory of including championship-style races (these would have a few more races, though) and would include the larger endurance races like Daytona 24, Spa 24, Bathurst 1000km/24, Le Mans 24, Nurburgring 5/24 etc. (Preferably though, I really think that B-spec needs to be incorporated into the endurance events to make them a bit more applicable and realistic. If this happens to be the case, I would prefer to see the Endurance races in their own special menu to reflect this, as they wouldn't be purely A-spec Races). In addition to the above levels, Manufacturers would again see a return of their events. These would include multiple one-make events (R35 GT-R) as well as mixed/mingle events (Silvia/SX challenge). Each event would have different requirements on the maximum/minimum allowed for tuning the cars entered.
• Track record leaderboards
• Up to 60 AI cars on track
• Univeral option for assists (All off or All on)
• Warmup Lap
• WRC3 repair style mechanic between rally stages (you have X amount of time until the next stage, repair A takes Y amount of time, repair B takes Z amount of time, when the time is depleted you can no longer make repairs)

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing - Modes

• Ability to practice/work on specific sectors of a track. I've always wanted to be able to pick a track, set point A, then set point B, then practice a specific sector for a while.
• Carrozzeria Mode from Sega GT
• Cat n Mouse (ie Project Gotham Online)
• Drag race modes would like they had on Sega GT
• Multi-class racing
• Stunt Racing
• Top Gear - A lot more challenges that would test your driving ability (mostly timed challenges with cones) and with interesting cars not a VW bus. This can be combined with the licenses tests.
  - Cast of the show as narrators for these challenges (Jeremy, James and Hammond) just to make it more authentic
  - Head to Head races between same-class cars in terms of top speed, cornering ability, drifting, drag races, etc.
  - Beat the Stig mode where you try to match or beat the stig's time of different cars on the list they have on the show (yes that means PD have to make all those vehicles that appear on that list)
  - Mini games, car soccer, hockey, jumps, tricks, etc.
  - Online aspect of Top Gear could be giving the players a limited budget to buy, upgrade and mod a car and then racing each other to see what each one could do with it
  - Top Gear cast comment about cars and talk about their history
  - Tours in certain countries or regions, where you race on all tracks in those regions with relevant cars (italy tour would be Lambo vs Ferrari, and so on)
  - Incorporate top gear in photo mode, the stage, and the track with stig
• Touge, also (Best Motoring/Initial D style with real world track)
• "Ultimate Series". It would involve standard racing events, rallying, stock cars, open-wheelers, karts and so on and so forth with one or two rounds of the series breing drawn on from each motorsport discipline. In order to enter, you would have to have one car from each discipline in your garage, and have won events in each discipline.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing - Options

• Optional "mandatory pit stop" during the race for re-fuelling (ie you can start the race with low amount of fuel so you make a pit stop early, or start with a lot of fuel at the beginning so that you do a pit stop late in the race)
• Optional "tire grade change", for example if option is turned on, once during the race you need to switch between hard, medium or soft. So by the end of the race you have raced with at least 2 different tire types.
• Options to customize whole career experience, Mechanical Damages On/Off etc
• Two modes....production cars and racing cars. Production cars follows a similar pattern to GT5, low performance to hyper car in all sorts of disciplines, allowed to tune. Racing cars goes from karts, up to touring cars (Clio cup, world touring cars, dtm, V8s), through GTs, onto prototypes, through single seaters (formula ford/renault, F3/F2, GP3/GP2, Indy car, F1), NASCAR, Rally, Drag, Drift. Ie following how a racing driver becomes a racing driver.

GAMEPLAY - GT Life Racing Events

• A-spec races for specific tracks. Like each track has a menu that displays all the different races there, everything from Japanese k-car races to endurance races. And as an addition, divide the field into two series races like in real life. We have no Idea how many cars will be able to be on track at the same time in GT6, so 8 cars in lmp class and 8 in GT. When in the track event selection menu, lets say you find Daytona International Speedway. Then you see the Endurance section which includes Daytona 500, and Daytona 24hrs. You select the 24hrs. race, and then the game gives you a two event selection, each with a gold to be scored. GT class, with a specific PP requirement, and LMP class, (or Daytona Prototypes, one could hope!!) with a specific PP requirement. It adds to the play time of the game, and this GT/LMP selection can be added to all of the other sports car racing based endurances, (Spa, Le Mans, Nurburgring, etc.)
• Amateur - Races for 2 or 3 laps with low power cars, like up to 350 - 400 bhp regarding the weight of a car (Including race modified cars). As for rewards there would only be credits.
  Professional - Races for 5 to 7 laps with high power cars. As for rewards there would be cars like other opponents have and also credits.
  Expert - Races for 15 to 25 laps with high power cars. Tires' change mandatory during race also most of races would require better suspension or drivetrain to beat the rivals. As for rewards there would were rare sport or racing cars, little better then those from competition and also credits.
  Legendary - This league would be unlocked when player would reach a certain game completion precentage. Races for 30 - 90 laps, including endurance, time determined races, that would require not also good upgraded car, but also appropriate car setting, good qualification position and most of all - player's concentration on the track. As for rewards there would be cars that are collection or are signed by some known racing person (e.g. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V Tommy Makinen Edition) or even dream cars (like Red Bull X1).
  
  -All races from simulation mode include tire wear and fuel consumption.
  -All races from simulation mode also include QUALIFY SESSION that GT5 did not have.
  -Races from professional league also include mixed class competition like Super GT and GT300 at the same time, or LMP and GT1 cars.
  -Higher leagues also include various Nascar, WRC or F1 championships.
  
  All modes consist also of Seasonal Online Events and Lobby like in GT5.
• Event for RR cars
• Event for very low-powered cars (50hp and below)
• Events more akin to those in the real world
• Full blown rally championship, how about six 6-stage rallies in Sweden (snow), Argentina (gravel), France (tarmac), Finland (gravel), Australia (gravel), and the UK (mixed)?
• Goodwill Hill Climb
• Greater integration of Rally Racing
• GT Academy based Carrer, including GTA Real events and locations.
• Gymkanna drift events/series
• Legitimate race series and the ability to do full seasons in them, like in F1 2010 or the EA Sports NASCAR games
• Manufacturer Rival Events (Ford vs Chevy etc)
• Manufacturer specific events
• More classic events
• More night racing
• Much More events then GT5, perhaps comparable to GT4
• Optimize NASCAR, WRC, LMP/GT, GT300/500, karts, lower formula classes, and hopefully F1
• Pike's Peak Rally
• Proper Time Trial
• Re-enact real racing moments (example: 2008 - Chasing down a 908 in a R10 while its raining at 3 AM at Le Mans)
• Real road racing (eg stelvio pass, isle of man tt)
• Relay Race - you choose X amount of cars (possible to have different PP's and manufacturers) and you race to a set point on a track and then your second car comes in play. Example, 4 550PP cars (1 each from Japan, US, Germany, Italy) and each one does a specific portion of the nurburgring.
• Senna Challege: How close can you get to Ayrton Senna's Pole times
• Single player drift mode were you can battle the computer!
• Sprints (..Gumball style?)
• TOUGE. Even the Gumna cycle sports centre from best motoring would suffice
• Track Days
• Veteran Mode. After spending 1,000 "days" in GT Life Veteran Mode is unlocked. This mode randomly generates 10 racing events every 50 "days". The events range from 5 lap sprints to 4 hour endurance races. Rules, tracks, and cars used/allowed are completely random. This mode is designed to replace "seasonals" and to provide an endless variety of races.

GAMEPLAY - HUD

• 4 point Inside/Middle/Outside Tire temperature
• A much better display of gaps (splits) to other cars. Something like each time you cross the finishline, you can turn on/off the option of having the entire field displayed with gaps, and if they gain/loose time on you since the last split/and or lap.
• Ability to rearrange the elements of the HUD to your liking
• Ability to turn off the on-screen steering wheel
• Ability to turn on or off individual elements of the HUD
• Ambient and track temperature in HUD
• Cars ahead and behind you gaps shown in real time
• Cars in the pits have a "P" next to their name on the HUD
• Color coded locator arrows matching color coded driver names on the driver list, while using the full information HUD. For long GP length races its nice to know if you are chasing/being chased by a backmarker or for position.
• Digital Readout for fuel (74.8 / 90.0L)
• Gaps between every car in the race shown in real time
• HUD displays specific instrument clusters for the specific cars that you drive in GT6. For example, if you were to be driving a Honda S2000, the HUD will display the F1-like S2000 clusters found in the actual car itself(those who have played Battle Gear 4 will know what I am talking about), for every view, not just the in-car view. Players can then also swap out the stock clusters for aftermarket ones to suit their preferences.
• Real Time telemetry

GAMEPLAY - Livery Editor

• Ability to conceal your car under a "mask"
• Ability to download a template for your specific car (w/body kits and the like) to the xmb (in native .psd format; maybe multiple formats could be supported) and then edit it in a painting program. This would only be available for race-modded cars, or cars purpose built for racing, like the Honda HSV-010.

• Best of the best endurance race event invites for established teams & drivers (Endurance Championships) by reagions & states to world wide events..Probably would need real entry fees, but would fund league costs
• Official races & events

GAMEPLAY - Online Features

• $20 yearly fee: A additional New GT5 online server, just for weekly- monthly-yearly- online championship endurance league racing..
• Ability to be a passenger of another online driver only in free-run or rally driving(or even if there are too many used spaces for drivers in a lobby, you can sit in the passenger seat with them.) Ability to turn on/off for qualifying and the race or restrict to free-ride only.
• Ability to DNF
• Ability to join a race already in progress
• Ability to pay for official server
• Ability to swap turns behind the wheel with other drivers on different consoles in different areas around the world
• Ability to watch the race from any spectating grandstand or area
• Impromptu points system to encourage competitors to stay in a lobby. Points are earned via finishing position (no points for DNF's) and can unlock special paints, gear and maybe even car tickets. Items are given out per the amount of points upon exiting, and upon reaching certain total values in lifetime goals. (Ex: Paints can be given away each time you earn 25 points in a single lobby, and gear can be earned whenever your overall total hits 50, 100, 250, etc.)
  
  To support the casual nature this is intended to foster, different GT points systems can be selected while custom points models can also be used after being created in the pre-set content area. Introduce a possible modulating point structure where certain lower positions can earn the same amount of points as the people in front of them if they finish within a certain amount of time of each other. This encourages close-fought friendly battles and doesn't punish users who may get shafted by a dirty driver on the last turn of Laguna Seca or other courses. Again, this is a point system intended for casual competitive racing, not for league or club play.
  
  Example:
  
  The Standard points system, assuming the entire field finishes quite spaced apart, would look something like a normal points ladder:
  
  18-17-16-15-14-13-12-10-8-8-6-6-4-4-2-2
  
  Firstly, the total points won is dependent on how many people are in the lobby. Above is an example of what might the points per position in a grid of 16, assuming everyone crossed the finish line before the clock expired (Points could be halved if you do not finish before the clock expires, if the Host allows it).
  
  However, should the field be smaller, points-paying positions are lopped off at each end with higher-paying points being the first to go. (Ex: If there are only 15 entrants, then the highest paying position is 17. If there are only 14 entrants, then 17 is still the highest, but there's only one position that pays 2 points at the tail of the field.) This would be to discourage small groups of friends getting together to abuse the system by racing in groups of 5-6 to gets better chances at higher-paying points.
  
  Back on the topic of the modulation, though! Let's say positions 2nd-5th all finish within a second of each other, battling for position all the way down the front stretch, and there's a similar situation with the next group behind them, the points would instead look like this:
  
  18-17-17-17-17-13-12-12-12-12-6-6-4-(2-1-1)
  
  Note: The winner will always score at least one point above whoever comes second, regardless of how close they finish. In this scenario, though, there were four people who scored 17 points, because three were all within a second (or whatever the split-time would be to qualify for the bonus) they got the points as if they finished second, since they were racing very closely and were having lots of fun. Sixth place still scores the normal 13 points as he wasn't close enough to get the bonus. He was also far enough ahead to make sure his fellow competitors behind him didn't copy his points by finishing closely. However, the group behind him was close enough to get 7th place points or 12 each. Only three more finished within the time limit to get the normal 6 and 4 points, but the last three finished outside of the limit and thus got half points.
• Introduction of an optional handicap system like e.g. different pp-limits for each driver to nivelate different driving skills.
• Leaderboards for A-Spec Events (online)
• Leader board results lists for seasonal TTs that are differentiated or sorted by whether or not wheel/controller/aids/abs used
• Live streaming for yourself or others to watch, to keep an eye on future or current competition
• Multi-Class Racing support
• Official servers
• Possibility to fill up free starting slots in a lobby with AI-cars with the option to adjust their strenght/behavior and the cars they use.
• Practice, qualifying, and Warmup (raceday conditions) sessions for every race
• Recorded stats & career throughout the years; basically professional sim-racing leagues, with developed pro teams, with the possibility of live championships that will take the place of GT Academy when that program is over with.
• Safety rating (like iracing)
• Tailgating section' for online races? Instead of just watching, you get to have your car somewhere out of the way off-track. Only certain tracks of course, as the Nordschleife doesn't have any room. Maybe include a player controllable TV/ big screen for each "watcher"
• Timed races (by the min, hr, etc).
• Tune Sheet Sharing

GAMEPLAY - Online League Support

• Ability to create custom events and championships - select the number of races, number of heats per race event, the tracks, car (one-make, a car category, or multi-class), grid type, practice, qualifying and warmup sessions, points system (you could choose from various presets like FIA-based points system or create your own system). And the ability to save progress of a given event, so you organize longer events that can take several days to finish. Of course you'd have to be able to do something else when you come back to the game and resume your event / championship when you like (unlike the current GT5 saved endurance races, in which you have to resume the race and do nothing else until you quit or finish)
• Championship / League support - Points, stats, etc stored online after each race

GAMEPLAY - Online Lobbies

• 2 lobby types (or more): fun and real racing. In real racing there's safety rating and ladders/points. Crash lots = suspension, probably not a permanent ban but up to 3 months is fine. In fun racing only ladders (has to be one otherwise 10 year old kids would join real racing to gain points). Could be one in between with safety rating but no ladders involved, aimed mostly at shuffle races, free roam and so on, which is probably what lots of users want the most. Fun GT without kids, trolls and NFS players.
• Ability to have either a longer lobby title or at least be able to change the lobby title. (Should happen automatically if host leaves). As stated above in number 2, more information on the general specs and type of racing occurring in the lobby should be provided on the label as a result of the setup of the lobby. Thus leaving the title to provide more colorful information
• Filter for finding lobbies
• Filter for finding race options
• Real-time lobby labels that let users know more information on the restrictions of the lobby while giving a tangible score as to the quality of the racing going on inside. To avoid the complexity and, ultimately, (in my opinion) the problems that could arise with abuse or bad luck in using a personal "safety" score, I think the lobby as a whole should be judged on the quality of the racing going on inside (abuse of shortcuts, even when the penalty is deactivated, amount of penalizing contact even if the penalties themselves are de-activated, history of the hobby host for creating or joining rooms that have low or high scores, all taken into account). iRacing's safety score works because it's a much more professional en

GAMEPLAY - Online Marketplace

• Ability to sell/buy cars, helmets, racing suits and other stuff (tuned, livery etc) Online between players.
• Get rid of daily limits, create a proper trading system.
• Online Car Auction. Driver Avatars sit in rows of chairs at Online Car Auction
• Online scrapyard, where the cars written off by other players go, and you can browse the scrapyard to salvage another player's scrapped car. You can also scrap your own cars here, obviously. If you accidently scrap a car, you can go to the scrapyard and look at the list of cars you have scrapped, to see if they're still available or not. If they are, you have the option to salvage the car back, however you still have to pay the price that any other player would if they salvaged it. The cars would be set into categorys too, like in real life, where a car that isn't so badly damaged but was scrapped by a player who didn't have a lot of money, is a Category D car, easily repairable if you have the money. Then it goes all the way up to Category A, which is where you'll need a lot of money to save the Category A cars from the crusher. Also - if the game considers your car as a Category A write off, you are given the option to send it straight to the crusher.
  
  So basically, I'm implying an ability to restore cars as well, but rather restore actual scrapped cars that have been written off by other players. Once you have restored the car, you can either keep it, or sell it on - although once you have bought a scrapped car, you can't sell it until you fully restore it - or, you could always send it back to the scrapyard.
  
  Different cars would have different values in the scrapyard, for example, a more popular car wouldn't cost as much as a rarer classic car. Race cars would also be of higher value, depending on the damage.
  
  Oh, and depending on the category of the car, it's available for only a certain amount of days.
  
  Category D: 28 days
  Category C: 21 days
  Category B: 14 days
  Category A: 7 days
  
  Once the availability time of the car has expired, it's sent to the crusher. When you look at your list of cars, their status will either be 'Available', 'Salvaged' or 'Crushed'.

GAMEPLAY - Online Modes

• B-Spec Endurance racing. This would allow a group of people to run a very long endurance race without needing an army of drivers. Simply put a cap on how many hours you can drive to keep it fair. If its a 12 hour endurance race limit A-Spec driving time to 4 hours maximum so you are forced to use B-Spec for the other 8 hours. If its a 4 hour endurance race you can only drive 2 hours with A-Spec
• B-Spec only racing
• C-Spec - One player assumes the role of crew chief, watching his driver (the second player) in the lounge on the camera. The crew chief and driver can text chat or talk with a mic, both of which will only be heard by your crew chief-driver combo only. To avoid noobs, a crew chief can ask for a kick, which is then voted on by all of the other crew chiefs. If the majority votes to kick the driver, 20% of his current amount of credits will be given to his crew chief as well as a banning from the room. To add a real race feel, the drivers HUD will be automatically turned off, meaning he has to rely on his crew chief for all information.

• More in-depth limitations and regulations in the form of restricting both maximum PP as well as maximum/minimum aero points, weight, ballast and horsepower. Possibly certain engine modifications. (To help, GT can suggest cars to users that will fit regulations, so that a user doesn't have to search through every car in his garage to find a car that fits a particularly strict set of rules. In an out-of-lobby viewing of regulations, it could also offer cars that fit the rules that the user may not have.) Via Pre-set rules, this can be narrowed down to apply to certain cars or broadened to include certain drive-train types (FR/MR/FF etc) or even cylinder count. Can be set to "locked" where members are not allowed to surpass the limitations set in place or "Trust" where a user is allowed to move stats above or below the defined values, however he can be penalized via a "Scrutineering" button, which fellow competitors can select to apply towards a competitor who might be cheating. If the settings of the car do not meet the defined regulations, then the competitor is penalized.

Ex: No Ramming, No Diving, No Corner Cutting, Respect competitors to your inside and outside during a turn, etc. Instead of having to copy-paste these into chat each time another user enters the lobby, they're automatically shown to him if the Host decides to add the rules to the lobby.
• Optional S, A, B, and C car classes to go along with PP to prevent mis matched cars.
• Penalties should be payed during pitting, EXAMPLE: when a driver pits, any chicane cutting, ramming, or wrong way infractions are put into the form of being held for an extra 5-20 seconds, Paying Per/penalty accumulations, with the possibility of to many infractions resulting in a permanent pit holding or parked race penalty..

I just thought of something that actually sounded really good! It would replace the Used Car Dealed.

When you go to the dealership to buy a car, let's say the Lotus Elise '11, you can set the mileage on it (0-300,000 miles) to lower the cost if you can't afford it at full price and you need it for a race. After you buy a car with specified mileage, just pop an oil change and a cheap engine rebuild on it and, boom! Full power!

Example:
Ferrari 458 Italia (0 mi) $240K
Ferrari 458 Italia (300K mi) $50K

Realistic Example:
Chaparral 2D (0 mi) $3.75M
Chaparral 2D (1K mi) $3.25M

Quick, Low Cost Example:
Dodge Charger R/T (0 mi) $70K
Dodge Charger R/T (300K mi) $12K
