I'm excluding the N-series, since I think that'd take a while, haha! I'm also excluding some brands that may real hard to thing of things, like the labels created for some of the VGTs, Chaparral, KTM, Infiniti, and maybe Shelby. But otherwise, there do seem to be some automakers that could potentially have cars added to fill in absences in Gr.4, Gr.3, Gr.2, Gr.1, and Gr.B.
This is of course assuming DTM could be included in Gr.2, and Gr.2 isn't going to be the Super GT500 group. I am also highly curious if Gr.2 could also potentially include GTE-class cars, as well? I had also heard that some LMP2 cars were faster than those in LMP1, so maybe we could get a bit creative and add some LMP2 cars to Gr.1, especially with BoP being factored in. Finally, I strongly propose that Gr.3 includes Super GT300-class cars, since many real-world GT300 fields are made up of slightly-modified FIA GT3 cars, like the famous Hatsune Miku BMW Z4. Overall, I suppose this list is to ideally provide real-world alternatives for each group, if you're picky and you don't appreciate the made-for-game racers in some of the groups. Finally, I have no idea what the idea is with Gr.B. I want to say it's modern WRC, but the only real-world car in that group is pretty old. I wonder Anyway, here were my ideas:
Gr.4:
Lexus - LF-A Gr.4 (that is, if the LF-A that was in Nurburgring a few times wasn't formally GT4-spec to begin with, haha!)
Alpine - A110 GT4
Gr.3:
Subaru BR-Z GT300 (alternatively, there's the Legacy B4 last seen in the 2011 season, but PD could just spruce up the BR-Z from GT6 and put it in.)
Toyota Prius GT300 2016
Mazda RX-7 GT300 2010
Honda CR-Z GT300 2015 (I know we have the NSX, but it's not really the GT3-spec - I think this would allow for a good real-world car that isn't too similar to the NSX Gr.3, versus adding the proper NSX GT3.)
Chevrolet Corvette C7.R (similar situation as with Honda.)
Gr.2:
Mercedes - C-Class DTM
BMW - M4 DTM
Audi - (whatever they're using for DTM at the moment - I think it's the TT?)
Toyota Supra GT500 2006 (although, I wonder if there'll eventually be a Super GT500-spec version of that newer Supra?)
Gr.1:
Mazda LMP2
Alpine LMP2
Aston Martin AMR-One
Chevrolet Corvette C7 Daytona Prototype
Honda HPD ARX-04b
This also isn't counting the idea of certain entries for automakers that aren't included at all at the moment, but could come in the future. For example, the following automakers could have real-world cars in Gr.1 between the various sports prototypes from the late 2000s to present: Acura, Ginetta, Cadillac, and Lotus.
