My biggest hopes for GT8 are really just one thing: Y'know how it's only in photomode that you can show more things like oil stains and dirt? I want to see those details even outside photomode, and to make it actually worth washing a car. I'm positive it's up to hardware limitations, though.
I'd also hope for new groups for vintage race cars, especially the older prototypes from the late 60s/early 70s, but I really wonder if that's necessary, as opposed to a PP limit, or better yet, offering rental versions of say, the 330 P4/917K/GT40 Mk.IV/XJ13 that are more comparable with each other. I'd say something similar of the race cars from the mid-50s, like the DB3S, the A6GCS, and the D-Type - which are likely going to be joined by the Pebble Beach-winning Cunningham C-4R. Now that I think about it, I do wonder if an additional group is truly necessary at this point, as opposed to potentially refining the PP system.
Furthermore, I'm hoping the Gr.1 Prototype Series will have its rules effectively retconned to limit players to Gr.1 cars - though I'd be fine with either BoP being enabled, or the pre-existing 950PP limit. Indeed, the GT Cup Gr.3 events were changed to have BoP on, and the GT-R Cup was recently changed to permit the KPGC10 and C110.
And sure, I'd totally be down for larger grids in GT8, but I think it should be dependent on the course. For example, I certainly would not imagine the grid size at Tsukuba would be as large as those for the Nurburgring 24h layout, Daytona, or Le Mans.
Ah, but I digress. I wonder what sort of Bonus Menu event could be next? Maybe the Evolution Meeting could return, like the Silvia Sisters.
