Yep, exactly this. I've always maintained that the best racing game careers are open-ended, letting you do a lot of things in different orders depending on how you play the game, while also making sure there are plenty of options available to you at once.

GT used to be the absolute champion of this type of career, but I feel the spark has been missing ever since GT6.
For me if they really wanted to bring the classic and modern together, all they needed to do was have driver levelling that was paired to events.

You arrive in a fictional setting as a Sunday driver, you have enough to scrape a box and try to win stuff like Sunday cup, clubman cup or a hatchback series. Then rank up to something like Amateur racer. Now you can do stuff like rallycross. How do you gate check this? The licence tests. Which unlock as you driver progression goes.

It is all in the game and would have been easy to implement
 
What are you getting at? PD has no recent history sacrificing quality for the sake of quantity. GT6 days are no more.
I know that, thats why i said i rather wait for the cars for as long it takes.
 
Now that the silhouette's out, here are my guesses at what the cars are:

Nissan GT-R '07 (datamine)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII RS '03
Toyota HiAce Van '16

You didn’t say that in the post I quoted.

Why are you choosing the 2003 Evo RS when the 2004 GSR MR is in the datamine?

Out of curiosity, is the Lancer Evo VII in GT7? Kinda lost track on which of the Lancers are in the game and want to know if the 2001 car is among them.

Nope, but I REALLY wish the next update was bringing the Evo VII, instead of the Evo VIII.

The Evo VIII is by far my least favourite Evo (Aesthetically speaking). That nose is absolutely hideous. It looks like it has a Mitsubishi branded wart in the middle of it's face...
 
Does anything modern have a licensed Evo VII? I know Forza doesn't.

I do wonder if there's some lingering resentment to how badly the Evo VII rally car went that makes Mitsubishi hesitant to license that car to anyone (similar to how we'll never see the Mercedes CLR in a game because Merc just want to forget it existed).
 
GT7 platinum was easy and quick, to be frank.
Maybe, but putting all of the cars in your garage is at least something extremely time consuming, regardless your skill level!
If collecting every car in the game is a goal, which I guess is something I would be happy to achieve some day further down the road.
 
Wonder if it's a new track. Maybe a big update with ten cars this time. Can't wait!
Track? Who knows? But the cars are pretty much self-explanatory.

I hope they add the original Lancer sometime (the one from the 70s). Probably will be in Hagerty's.

Great call, and I wouldn't mind the 2nd gen either while we're at it! Always been a favourite of mine in GT4.
And we could do with a few more 80s road cars in general.
 
I'm still under the impression that our next GT-R is the ORIGINAL R35 spotted in the datamine

If the silhouette is anything to go by, it is 100% the facelifted 2023 R35. The front bumper gives it away. Sorry, but there just isn't any current info that suggests otherwise. You may want the '07 model, but there is zero evidence to suggest this update has it.
