What about the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Gran Turismo Trophy cars?

[nickf1gr]

I have the feeling that PD completely "forgot" to include in its updates some of the remaining cars that won the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Gran Turismo Trophy....
Could it be a matter of car rights or something else?

Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (Pebble Beach Contest of Elegance in French) is an automotive charitable event held each year on the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California, considered the most prestigious event of its kind. The event is open to both prewar and postwar collector...

The most recent four added to GT7 come from 2012 onwards. I'm sure they'll come round eventually.

They've always taken forever to come. The 500 Mondial and the Maserati took most of a decade to make it in, even the DB3S and Barker Tourer took half a decade. SEMA was the same, that ended in 2018 and they only got the last couple in last year.

Yep, the entire PD team has entirely forgotten that event they go to each year on the other side of the Pacific, including the one two months ago.

That's the only explanation.

They have forgotten.

First of all i didn't say that they ignore interaly this event but
PD that had some strange way to make the copperations with events or manufacturers....
Anyway

There are 3 cars that appeared for first time in GT7 according Gran Turismo Wiki:
Ferrari 500 Mondial Pinin Farina Coupe '54 (update 1.37)
Maserati A6GCS/53 Spyder '54 (update 1.19)
Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer '29

and there are to be released:

Cunningham C-4R Competition Roadster '52 (2015)
Ferrari 330 P4 Drogo Spyder '66 (2016)
AAR Eagle Indy Car '66 (2018)
Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Zagato '31 (2019)
Ferrari 512 S Berlinetta '69 (2021)
Autobianchi A112 Runabout '69 (2022)
Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Figoni Coupe '33 (2023)

I wonder if there's any possible difficulty involved in persuading owners of these ultra-rare, valuable, sometimes unique vehicles in the benefit of having them in a racing game and securing time for them to be scanned in an appropriate manner and at an appropriate location...

No. No it's easy. PD has just forgotten about them entirely.

 

[Steer]

Quite an unpleasant response I must say.

 

[Famine]

Quite an unpleasant response I must say.

Yeah, I mean, responding to the absence of these cars (one of which was crowned two months ago) by assuming the developers are morons is quite unpleasant.

Not without form either; I liked the thread two years ago asking if (and then speculating that) PD had "lost interest" in improving GT7. That's not aged well...

It's weird how often people go down this path of "you forgot [x]" too.

 

[nickf1gr]

After that i will change the main title of this thread....

The 500 Mondial has a rocky history as well - it was originally planned to appear in GT6. When it didn't, it also missed GT Sport (the only new-to-the series Pebble Beach winner in the game was the DB3S, the 2013 winner).
