The Next Gran Turismo, Steam Challenge:

STEAM CAR TRANSMISSIONS

• This would be a challenge because although steam cars are similar they really aren't. Most steam cars don't have gears although some white steam cars do have a 2-speed transmission

IN GAME CHANGES

• Steam cars don't operate on a rev gauge as such because all the system is doing is heating water although constantly adjusting the throttle to control steam to allow enough steam pressure for movement.
• So instead of including a rev gauge on Gran Turismo it would be better to have a steam pressure gauge.
• Water and fuel gauges required

STEAM CAR THROTTLE CONSERVATION

• Holding the throttle right open will allow a huge increase in speed, but a huge loss in steam pressure so if you don't coast or release throttle you won't have enough pressure for movement once you accelerate out of the next corner as you used all pressure on the straight

STEAM CAR LIMITATIONS

• Steam cars require Fuel & Water to be running so pit stops may be required for over use of steam
• Range of steam cars varies hugely depending on multiple factors like - if a steam car has a greater boiler size it can generate more steam pressure faster & How heavy the vehicle actually is.
• Fuel and water tank size can also contribute to the range a vehicle may have.
• Temperature of environment, if its a hot summers day a steam car will use more water, Cooler temperatures will supply the cars with greater operating conditions more range.

STEAM CAR ATTRIBUTES

• New Range, New Innovation for Gran Turismo
• Steam engine has instant torque like an electric car
• New driving Challenge (Controlling throttle to increase range of car)
• Great Variety of cars
• Gran Turismo has an awesome smoke system (Look Great Pluming out the back of the cars)
• Adds some great historical cars to the game (Lacking Cars before the year 1950)
