Let's create a list of what isn't real in the game... but in the interest of time, let's not. Do you like the VGT cars? Concepts that are in the game (not all, some). They don't exist any more than the X1. That's not really a good reason to hate a vehicle. Plus, we can get into the debate that nothing is real...
I don't think it ever had a place in the GT franchise, and I'll never be persuaded otherwise.
Do you like the FGT? Based on this statement, I imagine not. Let's think about why the X1 was made, as someone asked. Pushing the boundaries beyond money, regulations, and perhaps human capability was the purpose.
Getting the brightest minds to work on the ultimate formula car is amazing. If it could be made, which it probably will never be fully made in all its glory due to the enormous price tag and total impracticality, it would be a monster of a machine. It would be the ultimate drive. Wouldn't you want to drive it if it were real?
Why does your statement make me think you don't like the FGT? Because you must not enjoy vehicles that aren't real, conceived in a digital world, and push the boundaries of what exists... both the X1 and FGT fit in those categories.
Anyone that hates the X1 is entitled to their opinion and I'm sorry you don't like this vehicle. However, if this technology was available 40 years ago, the X1 would have made up the majority, if not all of the entries in certain vehicle categories that it could have occupied, the Indy 500 being one example. Sure, it'd probably be banned the next year, but it'd be real in a perfect storm. For me, I marvel at the possibility this could be made. It truly
could be made, but even if it does, I'll never touch it- let alone drive it. This is my only chance. Just like the Nissan R35, I try to enjoy vehicles that I wish I could drive... but never will. ---And don't tell me you wouldn't want to drive a vehicle that can go 0-300 mph in less time than your daily driver can do 0-100.
