If it's really Gr.3 car then it most likely will be the 488 , that new Vantage would have been nice too :D
since these two brands got the oldest Gr.3 cars

Wouldn't put someting like a reskin of the BRZ with a Toyota logo beyond PD.
 
I'm not even sure which car can actually qualify to be the one that most people will definitely be pleased with. Some new race car seems to be a general guess here, but there's a whole bunch of people who are not interested in racing cars at all.
 
Definitely gonna be nabbing that Miura Prototype from the LCD for the new Extra Menu, especially since I have the other two cars. Hopefully I’ll do well enough in this current season of the Exhibition Series Nations Cup to make up the cost for the most part, as I’m so far set to get over 3.1m credits. Then there’s also how I might do in the Exhibition Series Manufacturers Cup as well.

Of course, I also likely will be getting 2m credits this Thursday, as I’m well into gold range for the online time trial at Grand Valley South Reverse. I haven’t yet tried the newer one at Red Bull Ring yet, though, but I think it seems like a fun combination.

As far as to what actual racing I’ll do next, I think it’ll likely be that next round of the Exhibition Series Nations Cup that’s tomorrow, featuring Gr.2 cars at Sardegna A. Unlike a very similar GTWS race that was some time ago, it seems that we’re only able to tinker with the brake balance, whereas that previous race also permitted downforce settings - at least from what I remember. I might not even try the online time trial at Red Bull Ring until this weekend, as I think by then, my eventual standing shouldn’t change too much.

For races within World Circuits, I’m thinking I’ll do the latest three races that were added, though I do have other races I haven’t touched yet. After doing those three, if I haven’t reached my daily workout yet, then I think I’ll do some practice for the next round of the Exhibition Series Nations Cup. I do hear the Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM will be an extremely popular pick for this one. But that last round at Interlagos should be especially fun, not just because of the length of 18 laps, but also because there is indeed one required pit stop. I wonder how many people will remember to box? Then again, with the race being as long as it is, and the fact we’re limited to Racing Mediums, it may be advisable to pit halfway through, anyway.

Talking of the Audi DTM, I wonder if we’d ever get the BMW and Mercedes. Gr.2 needs more options, be they Class 1 DTM, new GT500’s, or some older GT1’s like the GT-ONE (could theoretically fit in Gr.1 or Gr.2), R390, 911 GT1 ‘98.

Never mind racers, the livery creator community needs some new content to get stuck into. Oh, and one car that’s not been mentioned is the 992 GT3 Cup - last seen in the movie. Not the most exciting model, but so many options for single-make racing and liveries.

Don’t forget the Aston Martin!

Aside from the DTM versions of the Vantage, M4, and C-Class, I’d be down to see the R390 GT1 ‘98 and 911 GT1 ‘97, especially since we have the road car version of the latter. As for Super GT cars from GT500, I think the 2024 lineup - namely the GR Supra, the Civic Type R-GT, and the Fairlady Z - is perfectly different enough from the latest trio from 2016.

But for the TS020, I think the ‘99 version that competed in LMGTP is more iconic, and should go into Gr.1. It is a prototype, after all. And on that note, I’d greatly prefer that we get the TS010 instead of the 88C-V, if only to have more Toyota prototypes in the “TS” series. (I don’t mind skipping the TS040, though.)

EDIT: I also now wonder what other race cars could come to Gr.4? The racing version of the Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II comes to mind, as I recall it racing alongide the Alfa Romeo 155TI.

What about JGTC-era GT300 cars, since GT500 cars from that era seem to end up in Gr.3? I think it’d be pretty fun to see a GT300-spec Silvia, Mitsubishi FTO, or the classic Toyota MR-S in there.

I know that in the datamine list from 1.43 onwards, the RE Ameniya Asparadrink RX-7 GT300 and ASL ARTA Garaiya GT300 were listed so at least there’s some older GT300 cars potentially due - although I would happily take older models too.

Right, but I think those two are from the Super GT era, so I think they’ll end up in Gr.3 like the BRZ. It’d also be nice if the road-going Garaiya could return as well.

I also just learned that in the 2000 JGTC GT300 class alone, there was also a bugeye Impreza and even an AE86! And that’s before we mention the Viper, the Porsches, and even a Ferrari!

The Garaiya and RE Amemiya RX-7 GT300 will be in Gr. 4. They're not quick enough for Gr. 3 as they have roughly around 300+hp.

GT300 then was not on par with FIA GT3. The reason why the Subaru BRZ GT300 is in Gr. 3 is because it had the might to compete against actual GT3 cars, despite a modest horsepower output of 478hp.

Maybe, but then again, the Group A Toyota Celica was placed into Gr.B.

Well that's because it was a rally car that could easily be placed into that category, despite it being more in line with Group A or World Rally Cars.

But as for the older GT300 cars, they will almost certainly be in Gr. 4.

Another is that the RE Amemiya RX-7 GT300 could be a bit confusing, whether it should be in the actual RE Amemiya brand, or become an additional Gr. 4 car for Mazda.

Part of me wants Polyphony to make fictional Gr. 3 versions of these GT300's with almost little to no changes in appearance (other than in the liveries alone), and with increased power and reduced weight to match the Gr. 3 category.

Please, no...I wish GT7 just had separate category for older gt300 cars...if they would come into the game one day that is.
 
Gr.4 doesn't have a central identity anymore beyond "1990s-onwards race cars that are around 300bhp", so JGTC-era GT300s would absolutely end up in it.

Likewise, while Gr.B started out as PD's modern re-imagining of Group B regs, I suspect it's now the catch-all group for any rally cars that aren't Escudo-level silly.
 
Everything here is speculation.

If the "car that should make people happy" is a racing version of the Ferrari 488, I'd personally hope it's the GTE, just to make it more different from the 458 GT3 we already have. Visually to me the 458 & 488 are so similar I'm not really bothered about a 488 GT3, at least personally.

Though since in real life you could convert the GT3 into GTE spec with effectively a bolt-on kit, unlike say the more bespoke GTE cars such as the Ford & Porsche, perhaps they could do the same in-game through visual upgrades. They've done upgrades for race cars before like that, such as with the Evo 2 kit for the newest Audi R8 we have.

Should also note since it was a Ferrari Challenge car that had its audio sampled, a significant round of the Ferrari Challenge North America takes place at the much speculated track Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. It's the only round of that championship to be an F1 weekend support act.



Though the car added to the game might not be a Ferrari Challenge car exactly (especially not the modern one shown in the video), if it is a Ferrari it could still be a nice update pairing.

This is all assuming this supposed car is a Ferrari at all of course. It might not necessarily be a modern race car at all. Could also be a returning series icon like we saw with the Suzuki Escudo. It might even be nothing.
We'll just have to wait and see.

I can totally see a huge chunk of playerbase complaining about the Midget lmao

But I would love to see Polyphony roast my model with their incredible attention to detail

Yeah, they probably would. I would also see people using them to troll players in online lobbies. :lol:

You did a great job with your model though, also enjoyed your Nissan Z GT500 recently.

To me it will be great if we are going to get any race car at all :D i love driving those cars, and Gt7 lately got to much focus on road cars to be honest.

Now that I think of it, I do think you're onto something. The BRZ GT300 that's in Gr.3 has over 470HP, whereas the RE-Amemiya RX-7 GT300 has just a tiny bit over 300HP. Either way, I'm totally down for more Gr.4 cars.

The Silvia Touring Car is essentially the GT300 from back in the day and that's Gr.4.

BTW, with the Ghost of Tsushima PC port revel, GT7 is now the only remaining PlayStation title from the original leak, not yet announced. The most interesting part of this for me is there's only a 2 month gap from announcement to release. Yet these ports probably take a good 12 months or more.
