Gr.3 Dream Car Championship
Based on one of the most iconic GT series, a celebration of asking a question few other "serious" racing games do:
What would this car look like in a full GT3 competition kit?

Gran Turismos tradition for doing its own thing goes back to the very first game. Although Polyphony Digital did get some real world race cars in the first game, these varied wildly in terms of performance and thus could not fill a series grid on their own without duplicates. The team also noticed many manufacturers were not represented. Thus, the LM Edition vehicles were born.
The idea behind LM Edition vehicles were simple:
"What would happen if this manufacturer was to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans?"
"Which one of their road models would they base the racing version on?"
"What would the final car look like, and, more importantly, how would it drive?"
This spawned some of the most unique racing vehicles in racing games. From the Mitsubishi GTO LM Edition and TVR Cerbera LM Edition to the Honda Del Sol LM Edition, the LM Edition not only filled out the grids in various series, but became incredibly popular with fans the world over.
It was inevitable, however, that with manufacturer interest in the Gran Turismo franchise growing, that these fantasy cars would be relegated to their own niches and soon left behind. Polyphony, however, wasn't having any of this, and already in Gran Turismo 3, as they introduced the next generation of fictional vehicles, they created a championship specifically for these vehicles - the Dream Car Championship.
Now, time has come to Gran Turismo Sport, and with it, what one could argue is the fourth generation of original race cars. With the GT League update coming any day, it is entirely possible that these cars too will see a dedicated racing series.
But even then, it's always something different when you're racing against other people..
