I second that motion.
I would much rather see some Aussie cars than more F1's
Back on topic...
But Id be happy with a Celebratory 2008 championship winning McLaren

If there are weather changes in GT5, we need an F1 that can ACTUALLY drive in the wet...
Then again, the McLaren would be more vulnerable to 5-second-penalties than the Ferrari

I'd rather they stuck to cars that real people can either buy now or have been able to buy in the past from a dealership plus any race versions of these cars.
I fully respect anyone else's opinion if they want F1, Group C etc. though as the GT series is a game for anyone who loves cars in general.

I don't understand the strong opposition to F1 cars, no-one has even suggested that there be more than a few extra cars. Some of you are reacting like PD would change the game into a ToCA clone.
Where were you all when they brought in the Le Mans-spec cars in GT2? The Formula GTs in GT3 and 4?
What I really don't get though is why some of you are suggesting that F1 cars are somehow inferior or akin to kit cars? I think the pinacle of motorsport should be represented in the real driving simulator just as much as any other racing series already is.
Maybe I should be asking, if open wheelers are not "proper" cars because they are specifically designed racing cars, then surely this would also mean Group C and LMP Le Mans racers should be excluded too, because these are also not proper cars by this definition.
I personally have always enjoyed the mix of standard stock vehicles and full race spec vehicles that have always been in Gran Turismo. Expanding both can only be a good thing in my opinion as long as it does not detract from the high quality physics and racing that the games have always used for the stock cars. I can't think of any other game that offers such massive lists of cars that include vast amounts of both types of cars, allowing me to drive such a huge variety of different styles of car - thus why I don't understand people's apparent revulsion to the series expanding the open wheel variety of racing cars. Yes, there are games tailored for these specific racing cars, but do they allow me to drive them in Gran Turismo-quality tracks? With Gran Turismo-quality physics? Against any type of car I choose?
Perhaps the reason people don't like the idea of more F1 cars is because it might mean PD doesn't focus as much on the stock car racing and such....but I think it has been discussed many times before that time and focus isn't really an issue, the issue is gaining licences to the cars.
Whatever, I find it baffling that people could be so far opposed to more variety.

If they included other makes from the current championship say Honda/Toyota would anyone actually ever use them? Especially online.
I think the majority of people would stick with Ferrari's and Mclaren's so they had a chance to win - it would be even worse than the GTR/GT fields we are used to seeing.
Historic F1 cars would be pretty fun to try though.

i agree with Ardius
I have no problem with more F1 cars(modern & old)
PD are the most realistic in cars physics(far better then F1 CE), you got a great feeling about the cars, and yes i would like to have some competition to the F2007(F2008), like the Mclaren, Renault , Toyota,...
I don't wanna have a starting grid with only Ferrari's...it will be much more fun to see
a Bmw, or a Red Bull car passing you instead of 10 Ferrari's, and i think the same for rally cars, wtcc, others; bring as much as possible in the game, and much more important is: bring the game out PD, this will help Sony with the sell of the PS3, and it will make a lot of people very happy!
And yes we need more F1 tracks like Silverstone, Spa, Interlagos,...

i think that with PP system they have they could arrange the races that every car is as competitive as the other, i don't mind if a Forca India pass me even if i'm driving a Ferrari.
that's why they got this very good PP system, this will make the races very intresting

Does anyone ever use the Mercedes in GT5P? Or the Jaguar? Yes they do, maybe not as much as the "winning" cars, but they are driven by some people, even sometimes driven to a win.
Buts its really a non-issue with current F1 cars anyway, because barely 3 seconds seperate the teams. In an online environment, thats plenty enough to allow a pro driver with a Force India to wipe the floor of a lesser driver in a Ferrari.
With older F1 cars and seasons, yes, this would be an issue, because I doubt anyone would be willing to spend their millions on a Fondmetal or a Lola-Mastercard. But I don't think anyone is going to be asking for those anyway.

I'm all for F1 cars, in fact, I'm all for any type of car. I thought Gran Turismo was intended to be an automotive museum, if that's true then we should have examples of every (or at least most) type of automobile.

i would say Yes definetly for the older ones, 70's till to early 90's with well al the beautiful cars.(honda-mclaren) williams, renault, ferarri with their incredible v12!
i think open wheels can be very fun too, i surely enjoyed grand prix legends, but as far this thread goes and to be a little off topic i also hope for older GT cars like the early 911 bmw's etc(gt legends anyone? with gran turismo graphics )
We will see what PD gives us..

In my opinion the perfect game was: GT5 with F1 World Championsip as the last challenge of career mode. That´s will be amazing. And of course the classic F1 cars too. I know that is not possible because the licenses are too expensives but is only a wish
Sorry my english, bye.

Gran Turismo is not a F1 racing Sim nor a Rally racing sim. GT has very good car physics but sucks in Formula one as it does in Rally... Remember rallye in GT4... Miles away from the real world
That's what you said. But I deeply loved Chamonix, Cathedral Rocks or Citta Di Aria with Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evolution. Yes, rally part of game was always little bit worse than circuit races, but If they can do right the tarmac physics, they can perfect the gravel physics as well this time.

This is a good argument. However, would each formula 1 car from this season really offer that different an experience (driving-wise), at least enough to want drivers to use it?
To me, it just seems like a bit of a waste of a car, I'd much prefer something else than a Honda F1 car which I (and 95% of other people) would never drive. For it to work, you'd have to start out in one of the cars lower down the field and work your way up teams each season - but then we'd have a F1 game, not GT.
