GT5 2.0 new NASCAR models?!

[RetroJohan]

The removal of the Splitter and Splitter braces and a resculpted nose for all the makes, which should help in handling and downforce if they done it right. Spoilers are more round as well.

So the cars should handle different then the older cars

 

[Knelly]

Personally, I'm very happy with this - great news 👍

Hopefully the physics sort out drafting, and the DLC Race Packs give us more NASCAR courses, and then the already very good NASCAR Online experience will be AWESOME!!!!

Yes, I am The Miz!

If NASCAR 2011 is anything to go by after the patch with the 2011 cars, I would say handling should be much better.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wait, is the #83 car already in the game?

 

[Furinkazen]

Wait, is the #83 car already in the game?

Yeah. I wonder if Kasey Kahne's 4 will be in...

 

[Mac K]

Didnt see NASCAR coming, what ever came about that magazine article where kaz wanted FIA and DTM cars but ran out of time?

Maybe they'll be in DLC?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah. I wonder if Kasey Kahne's 4 will be in...

Thought it was? Maybe I should fire up the game tonight and look, cause I'm lost.

They still have splitters, but they are shielded by the new nose instead of being open with the braces.

The 83 car is in, but when they modeled it, it was blue like the 4 car. The 2011 83 car is silver.

Yeah that's probably why I'm confused. Thanks.

I agree NASCARS are terible and it is a stupid boring sport make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn, make a left turn.

You forgot to pit

 

[Cale]

He also forgot that even on the ovals, they turn to the right almost as often as to the left.

 

[JoeH187]

Plenty of room in GT5 for NASCAR. I'm not into NASCAR, but it's fun driving something different.

Exactly. The lefts are just for the corners, but there's still an 800+bhp monster under their right foot that's constantly trying to squirm away down the straights (and in the turns too sometimes...)!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

People seem to be missing the point that PD said they would add more premiums not just nascar so don't worry, those who hate and think for some weird reason that nascar is the only addition.

 

[blah blah blah]

Better than no new cars, but they could have made a better choice. V8 Supercars for Aussies, especially considering that Bathurst 1000 is coming up soon.

This is my view as well. In fact, I enjoy a lot of the cars in GT be they ridiculous (Sambabus), interesting (Dome Zero Concept) or just plain fun to drift in (Silvia).

More NASCAR but also more of everything else.

I would loooooove a v8 racing pack feauturing all 2011 models and sandown, sufers paradise, philip island and the mighty hill of course, now that would be epic. V8 supercars is one of the most entertaing touring car series, i think it might even go gobal, the bathurst 1000 is being aired in america as well as australia. Go garth tander!

Second best behind BTCC Its about time there were British Touring Cars in a game, its been 10 years since TOCA Race Driver now.

 

[trk29]

Looks that way, doesn't it

Well then, I can say you have bad teeth?

 

[calvins48]

I think the new NASCARs were added for two reasons:

1.) It was easier than making new cars and is some easy new content to boast about.

2.) To please the Americans. PD have always given Japan and Europe everything, so I guess it's only fair to give the Americans something.

You are on to something my friend as V8 Supercars are scheduled to race in the US in their upcoming seasons. I forgot who was responsible, but all i know is more live and awesome racing will be landing in the west. I think DTM has inked a deal to bring their brand of racing to the US. cheers

Hey what track in america do you think the v8's would race on if it was to go to the states?

What about the aussies?

How many kilometres is your longest race? Aussie V8 are better in my opinion, i dont want to watch a 20 lap race

 

[Anna+Reece]

Adding more NASCAR crap is honestly the dumbest thing yet. All of the cars are almost the same, and they aren't that fun to drive. They are basically adding 11 new liveries. I can easily think of 11 standards that should have been converted. Like the 8-6, the S14, the Supra, and the 3000GT. Absolutely disappointing.

 

[sumbrownkid]

Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, and perhaps Infineon and Laguna Seca.

Unfortunately most people forget about the Southern hemisphere nowadays.

 

[MasterLeaf]

I'm disappointed to hear that they're adding more NASCAR models. I want to see some of good standard cars being converted into premium! Not bloody NASCAR...

Exactly what I was thinking. Nascars are only good for joining an online server and smash into people like your compensating for your lack of something. No, not THAT thing!

 

[fryercar]

I like how these (mostly european) people completely fail to realize that PD getting a piece of the Nascar license was and still is a huge selling point for GT5.

Honestly, your mentality is pretty much this:

Which is quite frankly, stupid.

Fryercar loves this

Fryercar says free stuff is good.
Fryercar likes GT5 and clean racers.
Big-UP! to GTPlanet, Polyphony digital, Sony.

Its not about length, thats for sportscars. BTCC is full on action, except Matt Neal he thinks it's bumper cars.
