True, there have been other Stealth cars, though the pattern was that the Manufacturers Cup ones were always a Gr.3 (which makes sense as it's on-theme), but the Nations Cup ones were looking to follow the GT4 secret black car roster up until Singapore.


While technically possible for both of the 2 remaining car slots at the Grand Final event to be the R92CP and a R390 GT1, the Manufacturers Cup one would most likely remain a Gr.3 car as it always has this year.
It would be odd for the R92CP to not be chosen for the Singapore live event if the pattern was a legitimate hint/teaser. Why have the Super Formula replace it, just because it's being used in the SUGO qualifying race? It's not like the car in that race is new, only the track.

While I would love to see the Nissan R390 GT1 return at some point, I now doubt this theory is the way it happens. It already seemed like a bit of a stretch & tinfoil hat idea, but it's likely just a funny coincidence with the Toyota GT-One & Mazda 787B, now that there wasn't an R92CP for Singapore.
But I hope I'm wrong.

As you see from the discussion below, the Ford GT already broke the Manufacturer series theme, since Ford has not been a part of manufacturer cup. :)

It is still possible imho. Off course yhis is just debating. We both don’t know what Kaz will think next :) sure thing that the last 6 cars of spec iv could be exciting.
 
Will it be ok to open a thread to predict the last 6 cars I suspect the 6 cars already shown will be part of the October update.

As we already have a Spec IV thread - and predictions threads are used for update threads once the update details are announced - what exactly is wrong with putting it in there as others already have?

One of the tracks currently absent from the Tracks Suggestion Forum.
A lot more of a traditional city street circuit compared to the highway circuits of Tokyo Expressway & Special Stage Route 5/7/11.
I do wonder if we'll see a street circuit in this sort of style again, with how much longer they take to develop than the already-long development process for regular countryside circuits.
Long Beach has become surprisingly common in other modern racing games, maybe because it's quite short & next to the ocean, but at Polyphony's level-of-detail even that would be a huge challenge I'd imagine.

Yeah, it was always "it's worth keeping an eye out to see if this third car keeps this speculative trend" rather than "this is definitely happening".

Also, on the other side of the rewards, anyone else think the Ford is an off-piste choice of car? Ford aren't in Manufacturers, and they aren't particularly close a partner to PD in the way manufacturers of the campaign cars usually are.

Not saying it means anything whatsoever, before anyone reads too much into me saying this - I just wonder how they came to choose that car specifically as the giveaway.

I'm gonna really reach on this observation and take, but with some of the cars from this year's viewers choice, we've gotten cars from one of the manufacturers that were on the viewers choice in the next update.


The example being the Porsche 911 GT3 (992), we ended up getting the 963 and the 911 safety car the update after Round 1, and with the Toyota FT-1 VGT Gr 3 being one of the prizes from the manufacturer cup viewing, we ended up getting the Chaser Tourer V and Mark II Tourer V after Round 2.

The car for the manufacturers viewer campaign is the Ford GT Race car and it had seem to get a car from said manufacturer in the next update after the GTWS round. Again, I'm just reaching and grasping a lot of straws with this observation and nothing is certainly concrete, especially since this is PD we're talking about here, but I thought it was a fun observation.
