But but, Hyundai and Genesis(now a partner in Gran Turismo 7) are in this game. Fued with Japan notwithstanding.

Fair enough, it very much could just be a monetary issue and nothing more.

I suppose I just like a little gossip/conspiracy to liven up a rather boring reason for something going on in the world.

Is Lotus Set To Return to Gran Turismo Sport?

When GT Sport launched back in October 2017, we thought it was a little bit light on content. Polyphony Digital has been addressing that, piece by piece, with free updates over the game's life, but there's one thing still notably absent: Lotus. The famous brand from Norfolk, UK, is a puzzling omi

Also keeping licensing deals secret from other brands isn’t possible. Aside from the fact the PR teams exchange personnel almost weekly (and some have external PRs) there's industry bodies which host events at which they all meet and discuss.

The brand which Lotus considers similar (and thus comparable in value for licensing) has never been named, but the general suggestion is that it's McLaren.

As lotus goes i would love esprit v8 and Elise 111r more than any other lotus vehicle, lotus might want to get paid to simular amount as Ferrari e.x and maybe pd does not think its worth that, there is no way lotus should even cost simular to Ferrari,

It’s funny about the licensing thing - you’d think manufacturers would be clamouring to get their brands in to a game like GT for free, as a form of advertising.

I bought a Nissan 370Z quite recently. I’d have probably never even heard of them if it wasn’t for GT, or at least not really have considered it as opposed to something a bit less niche.

It’s the same with background music playing in YouTube videos - what a great way of getting it out there and heard, you could generate countless sales that way without having to pay a marketing department. But no, there’s now a special AI analysing each and every video and if it detects more than a second of uncleared music the video gets removed. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

It might be good advertising, but that is only any value to the manufacturer if it converts to sales of new cars, and I'd bet the number of times that happens and it's attributable to Gran Turismo is very low, and likely only in specific niche areas. On the other hand the manufacturers know that their products (their IP) is required for game devs to make money... no cars = no game, therefore manufacturers know they can charge for using their IP, and it's all just extra gravy for them. It was recently reported Ferrari makes around half it's money from licensing deals, that's all profit they get without even picking up a spanner... how many extra Ferrari's do you think they sell by being in Gran Turismo?

I don't know why exactly they've stopped teasing upcoming content in these live streams. I know there are the VGT reveals coming, but that's not what I mean.

I'm talking about new cars and tracks appearing out of the blue in the round events themselves. Remember back in October 2018 when they teased the 22B for a repechage race in Tsukuba? THIS is what I'm talking about. A lot of similar situations also happened all the way through the events from 2018 to 2019, but since then, they've stopped doing this completely, and that's kinda sad.

For example, the TGR GT Cup final race is happening right now as I write this. Imagine if the drivers were using a Toyota GT-One instead of the GR010, people would go nuts. For sure the GT-One is not a GR Toyota, but the car selection for the cup was never limited to GRs only anyway.

Plus, it was always a very obvious way to increase their viewership, catching the attention of those who don't care about e-sports but still want to know about what's coming for the game in the future to watch the live streams.

Yeah, even in Assetto Corsa Competizione, there are no GT4 Supra and GT4 Mustang. That’s a game with SRO licensing. Also, no GT4 F-Type. GT Sport-GT7 at least have close enough versions of those cars.

There are trade-offs in all games.

Any tips for the Fiat weekly race, I have mine at 100pp with some upgrades such as a sport exhaust and suspension and I still can't win

I put everything into power. Exhaust, intake and computer, then backed off power cap until it was 99 point something. The last corner is VERY tricky on CH tires, but you should be able to put a gap on the AI in both of the other corners. I lift coming to the top of the steep corner, and then carefully brake for the last one, but it shouldn't be too hard if you just keep it under control.

I was able to beat it first time out, but did it a few more times to try and tame the last corner. It's still a mess...

I'd say that's fair so PD should just suck it up. The brand has such an important place in automotive history.

I wish PD still did this. It was always exciting to see upcoming content being previewed in the live events. It gave me a reason to watch them. Now I can't be stuffed.
