One of the things I find most un-realistic is the major series races.
Problems:
Improvements:
Just a bit of input that would be good for gt5 makers to read
Problems:
- Only 6 cars
- No team / manufacturer races
- Races are all free of charge
Improvements:
- You should be working with a team or hireable engineers etc. to help improve your car. Also your team mate should have a similar car to you done via engineers.
- Say there is a limit of 16 cars with graphics etc surely 8 manufacturers would be possible each with 2 cars.
- As you have a strong input on the other cars in the manufacturers group then you should be able to win for leading the championship and to win the manufacturers medal.
- Also for people without cars you should be able to sign a contract with a car racing company and they supply you with cars and you give them some of your earnings, then for prize cars you could maybe win one of the cars off them by choosing one to keep. This could be a seperate section.
- Seperate B-spec and A-spec sections?
- Multiplayer career? It may be limited, but a couple races. This is for example very good with more than one car of the same manufacturer racing together
- Driver names, so there can be some drivers you race with more and you know it is them. Also a bit of driver rivallry would be nice like the way in real races there s always two races always out to get each other
- A realistic career where you feel part of a team

paddworth brings up a good point. It would be good to have team and/or manufacturer competitions within the race series'. On a related sidenote, it would be cool to have an F1 car for each of the manufacturers that make one, and have one team for each.
I haven't read all 10 pages this thread has grown to, but I think GT4 is pretty good as it is.
I saw a news article saying Sony demoed gt4 on a PS3 with 20 cars on the track, since GT5 will be on PS3, if they keep the game exactly the same and put in online racing and more AI cars, I would pay the full price again to get it.

Shut up while we have this debate and go away.
Also we should have auto-qualifying like there is on Forza, that would save so much time if you automatically were qualified, then you wouldn't always start last.
Also get rid of 5 sec penalties, i hate them, especailly when you just tap the back of the car infront.

I'd like to see a few real life point-to-point races. I think the Nur is the best track in the game becuase of the epic challenge it represents. Lets have some of the World's best roads in the game. What about the Isle of man TT couse, or Buxton road here in the UK (for those of you that don't know, Buxton road is a 12-mile mecca for cars and bikes)
That along with selectable weather (maybe even real-time weather downloaded from the web for the real venues) would be cool. It would be nice to take on the challenge of driving the Nur in the wind and rain...and the dark! Add selectable time (ie, morning, noon etc etc) and I would be set! 👍

i made a joke about it, but i said Pacific Raceways in seattle. I went there on memorial day for an SCCA event and i was surprised at how sweet the road course is. a 10 turn 2+ mile course with over 100 feet of elevation changes.
also i think there should be more real race tracks, but not on the larger scale. The beginner hall events arent going to be happening at laguna seca or whatever, so why not go find a few of the smaller racetracks around and put them in. i think it would add more realism to the game.
id also like to see stricter race specifications. and id like them to be on the main race screen so i dont have to do a preview to see who im going up against.

I'd like to be able to use cars from my garage in license tests after I've passed the original test.
I'd like to create my own cup/championships. I want to be able to determine which cars are eligible (including the option of using cars from my garage as competition), how many races there are, where those races are held, how many laps, etc. The prize money can be variable by length and difficulty.
I'd like every manufacturer to have one make races, and for the length of those races to be customizable.
I'd like for the length of every race (non enduro) to be customizable after I've beaten it the first time. If I want to race the Japan 80's cup in a 1000 miles format, I'd like the option.
I'd like for the tracks in a cup/championship to be customizable after I've beaten it the first time. If I want to switch out Opera Paris and replace it with Suzuka, I should be able to.
I'd like to have Racing Modifications again, and I want them to be available for every production car. Every last one, especially TVR's and RUF's.
I'd like to drive the 'Ring backwards without having to turn around to do it.
I'd like to have the option to practice with tire wear.
I'd like to be able to turn auto save off completely.
I'd like to be able to turn ghosts off completely.
I'd like for the arcade mode to be done away with, or at least returned to it's GT3 form. Quick tuning and the absence of my garage make it a waste.
I'd like to be able to race any car in a cup/championship after I've beaten it with whatever is specified. I want to race the Jaguar S Type R in the Schwarzwald Liga B, to see how the UK stacks up against Germany, but I can't.
I want to be able to buy and sell cars with you online.
I want to be able to change drivers in an endurance race, not from A Spec to B Spec, but from me in my house to you in yours.
I want to be able to track all of the times I've ever run on Nurburgring Nordschleife, not just my top ten. (just because I drove a faster car doesn't mean it was a better lap)
I want there to be a 'Ring license. It can be made up of tests for sections of the track, a pace car test, and a free run test. This way I can practice on the ring or specific sections quickly and easily.(I'll still want to be able to use my own cars for once I pass)
I'd like to be able to skip dirt and ice racing if I so choose. I mean completely remove it from my Turismo experience and still be able to complete the game.
I'd like to see qualifying as an option for every race, not only in championships.
I'd like to see a "used parts" option, where I could exchange entire engines and transmissions from make to make, where feasible. (ie the same kind of enginuity that produced the Exige, but an open format for all the cars to do so, like putting a Jaguar transmission in a TVR, etc)
I'd like for every convertible in the game to have the "top down" feature.
I'd like to be able to race "top down" as well.
I'd like for the top to be an option in settings, so whether it was up or down was up to me.
I'd like to know the names of the drivers I'm up against in races, so I can gain a sense of rivalry.
I'd like for every car's vital information to be included in the game. What drivetrain does the Stryker have? It's ridiculous and pathetic to delay the game an extra year and not have all the SIMPLE data filled out.
This post has been very therapeudic. I'm sorry if I've repeated things but I wanted to get it off my chest too. Peace, and have a wonderful day.

id like to add that i think the smaller events should be held at the tracks themselves, not in a "begginer hall." and none of this world wide championships for miatas or something. what kind of series would take regular cars around the world for a championship. most real life racing is done on local tracks. i think maybe there should be a few different car clubs or series. similar to SCCA or something. each one of the clubs would have races at the different tracks. and you would have to complete all that clubs races before you could move on to the next level. an unexperienced driver isnt going to move from formula 5 to formula 1 back to back.

Ok, i was just reading a few posts and something sprung to my mind.
As in GT4 where you can share pictures, i would LOVE to be able to share ghost replays the same way, without having to buy a system to import memory card saves etc onto my pc, say if it allowed you to save ghost replays to the usb flash sticks...
That would be, in a word, brilliant.

What I really want is for the game to reach its potential.
If I'd said only that, it wouldn't have been near as fun.

I agree with Canadian Speed in saying that you should win a different car each time you win an event. It would make me want to race and ace and race and race untill I got the car I wanted, while improving my racing skills at the same time.
Oh yes, and an option of ghanging the colour scheme of a car. But only the colours that the car can possibly come in.

How 'bout some tougher AI. I know, not to brag, that GT3 and partially GT4 have been really annoyingly easy. I think that for the aces where the cars are very similar in performance, it should be really tough to win the darned thing. Just my thoughts.
Thx.
O yeah, also I'm all about the return of racing modifiacation (one of the coolest features ever).

I think it's time I state my wants here. Mine has nothing to do with new tracks, certain features, or whatever, but mine relates to challenge.
You see, I've kept seeing all sorts of criticism on GT games being too easy, and GT4 is surely the toughest Gran Turismo to date. I believe when G4 TV show "X-Play" reviewed Forza Motorsport (5 out of 5, by the way), Adam Sessler said that one of GT4's flaws was that it was too challenging. So finally someone agrees with me on something related to GT4. As I've said before, Gran Turismo was NEVER easy. Some races do seem a bit easy. Overpowered car + opponents quivering in their boots = easy race win, right? Ha. Try putting your Stage 4 Turboed GT500 Toyota Supra with Super-Softs against competition in the GT World Championship. This is why I made that GT4 Sound Off called "Aren't we Forgetting Something?" Initially, the topic was about if we are forgetting that Gran Turismo 4 shouldn't be looked down because online play was dropped. Being the old-fashioned, classical thinker in video games, I shown my support for the game even though a promised element which didn't really matter in terms of making a game better or not.
For the next GT, I hope the challenge level becomes a bit easier, while being completely realistic. I don't want to race Nurburgring Nordschleife using an understeer-happy Audi R8. I know I have natural hatred for this track, but I'm not racing Autumn Ring with 1980s Le Mans race cars. The challenge needs to be there, but not completely challenging.
Having said this, I think GT4's level of challenge isn't extreme, but more livable and feasible. I guess you can say that the Auto-Saving contributes to this a bit more, because you can buy the wrong car for a race, and end up having to sell it and maybe buy the car all over again. I don't know if this was to prevent any real cheating (of course, define "cheating" when it comes to GT4), or what have you, but I think the challenge has to be more feasible not just for veterans like me, but for newcomers. That's what I would contribute not just to my needs and wants, but to other GT gamers as well.

Well said.
1) Dont know if it was said, but what about a Dyno machine?
2) I know they are planing to add damage and etc to the car, but what about, when your driving 200mph+ hit a wall dead on, i would like to see a "body" fly out through the windshield(doubt the harness will help you much in that)*doubt it since its rated E*
3) If I nail the guy in front of me, he hits the wall, does he take damage?
4) If I am driving full speed, and I drop into 1st gear, will the tranny give out?
5) Like many have said up there ^^ better A.I.
6) Get rid of that damn 5 second thing in the Special Condition or make it for the computer also, there has been many times where they nail me and dont get the penalty.
7) More custom car options, like painting cars you win, used cars and etc...
8) Maybe add a sponsor thing, where you get more money for winning certain races.
9) I know people talked about engine swaping and etc, but to make it more "realistic" add engine wear and tear.
10) Tires just dont "refix them selves" if you wear down a set of tires you should have to buy/recap them
11) Have to pay to refill gas and nos?
Maybe some of my "wants" are too realistic lol, doubt they will make it that realistic
and sorry of some of this was posted before... really didnt feel like reading through 33 pages

IF A-Spec points are kept (which is actually pretty good now I'm used to it) please tell us how many points a race is worth before we actually enter! I'm sick of getting a brand new car and entering it in a race only to find I'll only get a handful of points - like the RUF Yellow Bird in Schwarzwald Liga B - if that's not possible, maybe the game could work out the average number of A-Spec points available from the races a car can enter before we buy it and before we upgrade it - I wasted a hundred thousand credits on a Mercedes Benz that I bought specifically for the Schwarzwald Liga A only to find that it didn't even meet the requirements.
