But they wouldn't allow it, that's what i'm saying. If GT6 had a livery editor the Ferrari F1 cars would be restricted. Do you really think they would be happy with a car in a game called 'Ferrari F2007' and let people paint it like a McLaren? No.

Because that is Toyota, not Ferrari. They are very stringent with video game licensing. Plus there is the other problem of the F1 licence PD don't have. If there was a field of F1 Ferrari's painted to make them look like the whole F1 field you have F1 racing and that isn't allowed.

But PD could if they allowed it. Bringing up Modnation racers is silly because that doesn't resemble F1 racing in the slightest.

Hence why I said 'If Sony get the F1 licence again' as Sony own PD.

No I'm afraid I don't.
I do not know how long Codemasters hold the F1 licence, but if it expires in the next few years I cannot see why, if Sony get the licence, PD couldn't be put in charge of the next F1 game, using a cut down version of GT6's UI as well as it's Graphics and Physics engines.

LISTEN anybody can make any F1 game called F1 something or other. Studio Liverpool (the guys who made wipeout) made an f1 game called 'F1 2007'
Licences do not run out with games, once they have bought it, they can keep it. It does not mean that only one game can have the F1 licence. If that was so, then F1 would be non-existent due to making no money.
Also Polyphony is not owned by Playstation but it is assisted by them.
And Codemasters will never share anything with Playstation-Exclusive companies like Polyphony Due to the reason that not only do they sell games on all consoles, but that they also are a separate company.

Not without a license they can't. Also Studio Liverpool are a development branch wholly owned by Sony. Finally they didn't make a game called F1 2007, it was Formula 1 Championship Edition. There is no official F1 game of the 2007 season.
No it certainly does not work like that. Codemasters originally had a three year license to produce games from F1 2009 to F1 2011. They have now extended that license on an unknown, multi year contract. When that expires they can either extend it again or lose it.
If the license is exclusive then yes, it does mean only one game can have the F1 license. I don't know what your second statement is about, they obviously make money in ways other than gaming. For a few years there wasn't an official F1 game at all.
PD are a subsidiary 100% owned and operated by Sony.

That is very unlikely. The word is Codemasters has an exclusive license deal at least for the next few years, and as it is such a popular title I can't see them relinquishing it anytime soon. Especially with the way F1 has been run in recent years; they're going to milk it for everything it's got until interest in the Codemasters games dies out.
They could in theory add classic F1 cars, providing they managed to get the licenses. They don't have to be made up either, they can be official, providing they can get the licenses. I'm unsure as to why they haven't done it already.
As far as I know, FOM only have rights to F1 cars from the current year and the year preceding it. The Williams F1 car in iRacing for example, was released after the end of the 2010 F1 season, when FOM no longer hold the rights for the 2009 cars. For rights holding purposes, the 2010 season would begin either at the end of the last race of the 2009, or the day after said last race, not sure which - removing the rights FOM has on the 2009 cars after the final race of 2010. Ferrari have a unique agreement that allows them to keep the rights for their cars, hence how we got the F10. Any cars before the current and previous F1 season (Which currently means any car not from the 2011 or 2012 seasons) should be fair game for any developer.
Another thought is that FOM own the rights to the F1 cars (Both present and classic) actually racing against eachother, even if they do not own the rights to the cars themselves. This would at least explain why there was no event for the F2007/F10 in GT5. But then there is the iRacing example again, where they are allowed to race eachother. Maybe the rules are different if it's against an opponent online as opposed to the AI. The actual use of the Formula 1 name can easily be bypassed, so i'm sure that is not the issue. I believe the issues lies with the aforementioned 'Current and former F1 cars racing against eachother' clause which I think is in the current concorde agreement relating to the video game rights. As it hasn't been made public though, we can't be sure if that is the case (But it sure looks that way).

I'd like some classic F1 cars.
Although I doubt I'll sue them.
I haven't used the FGT or for any a-spac races.
The Ferrari F1 once or twice .
not really my cup of tea.
But the historically significant models should be in.
Like any Lotus or the six wheeled Tyrell or williams.

So far in GT5, I had so much fun with Ferrari F1s, but there were only 2 F1 cars, which was really dissapointing for me, will be nice to have full pack of f1 cars...
Would you like to have it too ?
and also cars from which f1 season ? (I want from 2008 Season lol)
It isn't an option. Codemasters holds the gaming rights, which means F1 can't appear in GT6. There's nothing PD or Sony could do about that.
No.
PD doesn't know how to do fun, for one thing. Look at how they wasted Top Gear in GT5 as an example to that fact. A better physics engine doesn't itself translate to "more fun". Codemasters has made the best F1 game to date for consoles, even if it isn't the most accurate in terms of physics, because there's more to a good racing game than just getting the physics right.
Further, without having all of the F1 circuits and a proper twenty-four-car field, it wouldn't be as good as the Codemasters games. If it doesn't have the full calendar and a full field, it isn't proper F1. It isn't good enough even to have all the cars in the game, but they need to have all of them on track at one time, and at least GT5 wasn't able to do twenty-four cars on track at once, and I doubt GT6 will, at least not if it's on PS3.
And without the full calendar it isn't a proper F1 game, and I just don't see PD getting all of the tracks in there.
The price doesn't matter since Codemasters already holds the license.
It's still better than what PD can do with it. Again, having a better physics engine isn't good enough. Codemasters has the full calendar, all the cars and teams, development during the season (not a feature of Gran Turismo games), a penalty system and flags, tire pickup, tire deformation (as I recall), rubber-in, marbling, dry-line forming on wet tracks, more dynamic wet weather (wetter in this spot than in that spot, et cetera), and a full race weekend with three rounds of practice complete with mid-session setup adjustments, three rounds of qualifying, and a full sixty-lap (give or take, depending on the circuit) race.

I wouldn't miss it. Not how it's made in the game. I rather have a new and improved Formula GT.
However, I've tried many F1 games and Gran Turismo still feels better. The F10 for example, that thing feels incredible. If they were to include F1, at least extend it a bit. But I would still rather them focusing on street and racing GT cars.

You still don't get it do you? ALL F1 cars and their designs are protected by licensing imposed by FOM (Formula one management, Ferrari is exempt to this, hence the F10 & F2007 in GT5).
Kaz said that PD wanted to put more F1 cars in GT5, but the licensing prices are unreasonably high. I don't know how many times I have to say this and how many threads I need to post it on before people understand that officially licensed F1 cars (other the Ferrari) aren't going to be in GT franchise anytime soon (unless Bernie Ecclestone dies. Even then, still a scarce possibility)
