I absolutely love the snow courses. Chamonix is my favorite track in the game. Its the only track i got gold in the licenses on the first.
I hope they have point to point rally in GT5. Even if its just a couple of stages from a few WRC rallies.

I've played only Colin McRae Rally 2 on the PC, then a lesser title (but still good), Mobil 1 Rally Challenge. I honestly cannot say that I know real rally racing when I see it. I Cannot race real rally racing. So how am I to know what's acceptable for a rally racing game? Since I don't know, I can't suggest.
One thing I do know is that the rallying mode is there for those who wish to race life on the edge of a knife. While past iterations of the Gran Turismo franchise hasn't really been designed like typical point-to-point stages, it is still satisfying to swing your car into opposite lock, tackling a hairpin on a like a true professional. Rally cars have been around since GT1, but never really emphasized until GT2. Do you remember the Subaru Impreza Rally Car in GT1? While it was quick, you really needed to modify the gear ratios to give it a good top speed. Since then, courses have been mostly rally cross. I also disliked the 5 Second Penalty. Sometimes, I use the penalty to get even with someone. A 5-second penalty is more of a plus or maybe a "time out." You'll need to rear-end the leading car in Tsukuba Wet (Hard) to win, so you win however you can.
* Do I want rallying in GT5 even if under some specialized conditions? Yes, and here's why. Just because it's a rally car doesn't mean it can also be a race car. For me, the rally cars are low-powered racing machines you can use to win races in lower-level competition. As far as rally courses go, I do want a little challenge in the courses I race, but no challenge too impossible to where I'm mad as hell. I don't think PD should just center to circuit racing. Instead, try to cover as many bases as possible because the life blood of Gran Turismo is racing. I don't see people complain about Codemasters having to stick to touring car racing while there are other types of cars and race series (ex. ToCA Race Driver 2, and its upcoming sequel), so why PD? Why Gran Turismo? Rallying in Gran Turismo isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. The WRC had a tragedy take place this past weekend (my thoughts and prayers to Michael Park, I believe his name is), do you want to crash into a tree or have your car damn near explode? * Everyone also makes a big deal about damage. Though it happens in rally, I don't care much about it as long as the look and feel of rally remains intact. And a few times, I kind of imagine my car getting all dirtied up, and that's something I wouldn't mind. Only thing is that PD finds some way to cover the car with in places or around the whole car. My answer- yes. Keep rallying and give GT fans a chance to explore other forms of racing.

I think damage would help wit the rally, if PD had damage the 5 second would be that you would slow down untill you cant drive anymore, that would make rally even funner. Plus if they designed A-B rally racing around real rally sites.

I totally agree here 👍
It wasn't bad at al, just a steep learning curve and lots of effort

yeah, that would be cool. but i still want the WRC cars out since there are no WRC stages and if they put in WRC stages that would just be too much. i want somesting like rallycross/ice racing, that would be perfect for the GT series i think... tracks with just dirt, and with bith dirt and asphalt or just asphalt. would be great with rally crossOperatorAlso, rallying in extreme conditions. Changeable weather, etc. Would be great; heavy rain+cockpit view+200km/h

I think they should keep the rally but get rid of the 5 sec. penalty and make it possible to drive the cars well.

I remember this vid well, I do beleive that it was prize in either v-rally 1 or 2 when you won the 405 pikes peak car! something like that anyway.
On Topic.
Probably discussed but i think that Group b rally cars should be introduced, or maybe instead of the special events area you could have a "history of rallying" area where you start out in old minis and 911's etc and work your way up to modern day wrc cars with, the as mentioned group b rally cars somewhere inbetween. I think this would be a good way because although group b rally cars may seem faster than there modern day counterparts the latest wrc cars would be much more equal and competitive . Could be a good alternative to easy, normal and hard settings.

Group B cars don't need to be introduced, they're alaready in GT4. I like the history idea, but not in the GT mode, maybe they could have a history of motosport mode where you choose touring, GT or rallying and then start of back when, and work up to present day races. Like I said, as an extra mode though. I'd like rallying to be expanded on, rather than have each track as it's own even, have the events done proper like the rest of the game, have a FF rally cars only event and a 80's rally cars only event ect.
