There's a new prototype?

I know, I remember in the old games, at minimum it would take you an endurance or a never-ending championship to unlock a F1. Up until GT5's release we had the X1, it was quite hard winning it for the first time. Until the racing pack was released people could easily get the car. After that the car didn't feel special anymore.

Terrible idea. I didn't like or agree with the other models either.
At least make them extremely hard to earn and untradeable so hooligans can't use them.

As long as there are better regulation online I don't see why anyone would want the car locked up for people offline. If someone isn't very skilled but wants to use this car to easily win an endurance race, why should I care? Their offline play doesn't affect mine so I wouldn't want someone who wants the car to be put off to the game by not being able to access it or not having the skill to beat the challenge to access it.
Again, as long as there are better regulations online it shouldn't be an issue at all.

I think an X14 would be a good thing as it would continue to showcase the evolution in technical freedom expressed when there are no rules. It's the immature people that couldn't drive them properly that gave the X10 and X11 a bad reputation and not the car itself being just ludicrously fast.

I think most of the X1 hate is centered around three main reasons, and as long as PD can eliminate those reasons it's fine:
1. A bit too easy to get. In GT5 you had several easy-ish ways like ranking up B-spec, and they even gave one out to everyone in October 2011.
2. Overused in online lobbies. Sure you can set a PP limit, but many hosts are too dull to do it, or encourage X1s to drive around, so normal cars are screwed.
3. You had to finish the Red Bull Vettel special event for the Platinum. **** that challenge.
EDIT: 4: You can buy the X2011 for DLC, so anyone with a dollar can get it.

As long as a large amount of the 200 new cars for GT6 aren't fictional cars (that includes RMs and special editions) I have no reason to complain.
This is not a C6.R. no is fooled.
This is just a work aroun to the fact that they couldn't get access to either the GT1 or GT2 Pratt & Miller C6.Rs and had to create a fictional substitute. Fictional cars are nice but the focus should not be on them.

Half expecting a turbo powered monster as F1 is going turbo in 2014...

But with F1 going way of the turbos, was thinking could PD essentially be reflecting the progress of technology in F1? KERS system perhaps? That could easily add 300hp.

22 say good to 12 bad, did I step into an alternate reality? I was sure I'd be pretty much alone in liking the idea.

Yes. Yes you did. You've stepped into the twilight zone. A place where cars sound like trash compactors and can go 370MPH.

This...All I can say is, "Really?" You know, it's things like this that make game developers age prematurely:
Developers: "Here's some DLC."
Gamers: "It should be free. I don't wanna pay for stuff."
Developers: "But, you paid for the DLC you said you didn't want to pay for anyway, so why should we make it free?"
Gamers: "Because we said so."
Developers: "Alright, well, here's some free DLC."
Gamers: "Free stuff? What? This stuff should be premium content."
Maybe they should do like Forza does and instead of gifting you the cars they should just make them available for purchase in the dealerships, but, then adding a 20 million credit car might not go over so well, so there would be....you know what, perhaps you people who don't like stuff like free DLC should just play Forza...or both Forza and GT.

Exactly. I was able to avoid public lobbies and it solved the problem. If I had no choice, I just set the room to a specific setting and viola, no X1s.
So 44 cars (14 of which funny enough aren't even listed in the car lists) was somehow a large amount in GT5? Even then, that hardly makes up for most of the premium cars so clearly "fictional cars" never were the focus of the game.
