For the longest time, I thought it was Gr, only to realize 15 years later it's GT.
Boy, do I feel stupid....

Yeah because abbreviating your name in a logo was first done with Gran Turismo.
The design style is scary similar.. Drive club is one D with the broken silhouette of a c , were as Gran Turismo is a G completing a t , Forza had an F completing an M... its a straight rip with different letters. I'm not Talking about the abbreviation, they could have made a badge or something , but they went turismo

Possible, though the colours would then predate the inclusion of B-Spec by about 7 years.

Or, as any decent graphic designer would tell you, it's a very common approach to logo design in any field. Of course, people will always let their biases speak for them.

That GT logo you've found has some cars that are in GT6. O.O

Really? All I've seen was that every other black car had a number 2 on it, and there was that one special Citroen that probably the artist snuck in there to fool us...

AFAIK - the 'red and blue' came from Nissan's 'Red Stage' and 'Blue Stage' marketing strategy - Nissan being somewhat involved in the early productions of the game. Or maybe that's just a coincidence.
The 'GT' part goes way back to the Lancia Aurelia B20 - pretty much the first real Grand Tourer - a.k.a. a car that can transport people at great speeds long distances in comfort.
Ideal combination of symbols if one was to make a grand touring driving game connected with Nissan, don't you think?
However - it seems that other automotive makers may have wanted that whole shtick reconsidered and so the red and blue has to go.
