Most of you do not remember me, I have religiously played GT5 & GT6 on the PS3 but skipped out on GT:S and the PS4. The reason being that GT:S didn't have enough content and I didn't want to play a "Prologue" game again like I did on the PS3 from 2007 - 2010. So in January 2018, two months before the shut down of GT6 online, I sold off my PS3 and closed the chapter to Gran Turismo. In the meantime, I played the hell out of Forza Horizon 3 and Forza 7 on my PC, but honestly they weren't as fun offline or online (Most likely due to them throwing cars in your face every 10 minutes of play, losing sense of achievement and progression).
I played a lot of Assetto Corsa, CM F1 2018/19, Project Cars 2, GRID 2008/ 2 / AS / 2019.
None of them compare to the feel and fun factor of the Gran Turismo games.

Topic of discussion

Single-Player:
What I feel will really shoot Gran Turismo into the next league of things is team play, Just like in Race Driver: Grid. Where you have motor sport teams, ranks, money earned etc across seasons. That coupled with the hiring of drivers, mechanics, pit crew etc. Just take the RC:G method and make it 40 times deeper. Secondly, I would love a TOUGE feature, OFFICIAL & UNOFFICIAL (Street), everyone loves Initial D & Wangan Midnight, CAPITALIZE ON OUR LOVE FOR CAR ANIME.
So essentially, you would have an official team that you would race for, and a street team you'd race for at night. Street Track locations can be highways, up/downhill routes based on real locations.
Multi-Player:
Casual Mode -
This includes circuit, sprint, drag, shuffle etc races seen in the past, just bring them over.
Pro-Mode -
Official Clans: In this mode you either join or create your own racing team, you start off with minimal money which is SEPERATE from your money earned in Single-player. You can add up to 12 drivers in your team (real people) and you join preset leagues that run across a season. For example, you enter your team in the following leagues:
League #1: NA Challenge Ninties: Can only use cars from the 90s era that are naturally aspirated, up to 400PP. (64 Teams can enter, season lasts 4 weeks).
League #2: Super League!: Can use cars up to 600PP. (400 teams can enter, Season lasts 24 weeks [6 months])
Now you can enter as many leagues as you want, Because there are so many teams and each team can bring two drivers in a race, leagues should be divided into groups, say 8 teams in a group which means 16 drivers on the track. Each group has their weekly race weekend which consists of practice, qualifying and racing. Gain up enough points and you can be promoted to a higher ranked group, for example:
Rank Team Name Points
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rank #7 HKS Powerhouse 112
Rank #8 Slider Motors 104
Group One End
Group Two Start
Rank #9 Team August 103
Team August can gain two more points and move into Group One while pushing Slider Motors down to Group Two. Money will be sparse, it will not be as easy to earn money in Pro mode, and the more events and races you take part in the more chances for the team to make that money. To promote CLEAN racing, damage will be carried over from races to your garage, and it WILL not be cheap to fix your car and it WILL cost you an arm and a leg (Hoping PD has fixed their penalty system). If you are not at fault, the responsible team will be fined + invoiced to fix your car. This system depends on PD to implement.
Un-Official Clans:
The racing team made in this mode will be separate from your Official team. In this mode you will compete with other teams in a 1-on-1 duel, you can have up to 12 drivers in your team but only 1 can compete in a single race (2 drivers for the event, one for downhill, one for uphill). This is a carbon copy of Project-D's battles in Initial D. You will have downhill/uphill touge races, time attack races (down/uphill). The leaderboards will be country dependent. However leaderboard leaders cannot compete with leaders from other countries, due to ping issues.
