I think though you shouldn't be allowed or if so the cars should be really crap on some circuits in GT4. Like if they include Seattle again the car should just like fail over the bumps. I just think it's too stupid letting your F1 car take off like 5 feet in the air and land fine in Seattle without even a nervous twitch :rolleyes: .
Although if you complete the game I recon they should have it (kind of having a bonus mode for completing the game) so you can fir rally tyres to your F1 car :D . That would be stupid but o so funny and a laugh. Imagine taking an F1 round smokey mountain.
BTW I'd like to see some 60's F1 cars like the Ferrari 312 and Lotus 49 and the Eagle etc. and some more modern say ones like...Jaguar R4 McLaren's, Ferrari's etc. Though as someone earlier said if you're going to have classic and modern F1 cars in the game I think it would be unfair and stupid to let them race together. Give them seperate races.
 
I want this year's cars... like the ferrari and mclaren merc and the bmw williams... Id take the bar just to RUN IT INTO WALLS :mad:

the car you are thinking of is the Brabham bt52 it was powered by bmw and had a turbo but was only about 700 to 800 hp.

Actually you are incorrect ;) The car was the BT52B which was the more powerful of the two (the "B" spec was a 1983 car). The car came equipped with a turbocharged 1.5L BMW 4 cylinder engine. In race trim, you are correct, it produced roughly 800 hp or more, but in qualifying trim it produced close to 1400 hp (the engine dyno at the BMW factory in Munich could only read up to 1200 hp, but engineers did many calculations and came up with a figure close to 1400 hp) :eek:
 
As for cars that I would like to see of the modern era at least, they are:

1994 Benetton-Ford B194 - Michael Schumacher's first championship winning car.

1997 Williams-Renault FW19 - Jacques Villeneuve's first and only championship winning car.

1998 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-13 - Mika Hakkinen's first championship winning car.

2000 Ferrari F1-2000 - Ferrari's first championship winning car in 21 years, and Michael Schumacher's first championship with Ferrari.

2002 Ferrari F2002 - The most dominant car of the new millenium.

2002 Williams-BMW FW24 - First Formula One engine to exceed 19,000 rpm.

:)
 
Put them back in and make it so you can run them in I link mode or via the internet. But just remember this is a Gran touring series game Not an F1 or Cart series.
 
where is the poll?

well i dont like the idea of F1 cars... because they can beat the **** out of any other car... if F1 will include then i hope you can only drive it against other F1... i miss old european cars though :/
 
those 1400hp qualifing engines were so powerfull how could a driver keep hold of his car i think those 1400hp engines were at the peek of the turbo era when those engines only lasted like 5 laps with the amont of boost they had and all from a 1.5 engine.

Yes, you are correct, the engine required a rebuild after every qualifying session (the estimated boost pressure was around 80 PSI).

Nice pic btw, that is indeed the BT52B, notice the massive rear wing, with winglets.
 
my favorite turbo car was the Williams FW11b i hope they include it in GT4

hell yes, Also i want to see some old lotus F1 cars, those things were awsome, i remember watching a program about lotus taking one to the Indy 500 (i think) and it kicked the crap out the american cars (i hope im not dreaming this as i can clearly remember it :\ )
 
You are not dreaming the car is the lotus 38 and Jim Clark beat the american cars by 2 laps in 1965. Colin Chapmam decided to race there after he whent a few years ago and was amazed how behind the technology was in the cars compared to the f1 cars so wanted to show them how it was done.
