El Capitan, Midfield Raceway, Apricot Hill, Seattle, Brands Hatch, Donnington, Silverstone, Motegi please.
 
that stupid scion fs-r is already in the game. whats the point of changing the emblem and adding it next to the one thats there. Its like having 100 skylines. I like skylines, but leave them for the wangan and NFS games at this point, there's plenty. Get some freakin variety.

Lambo Diablo, Pontiac Fiero GT, Pontiac Trans-Am WS6, Ferrari 512TR, Mitsu Eclipse GSX, BMW X6M, Ford New Taurus SHO, Hyundai Genesis (4 door), Jaguar XFR, Scion Rockstar TC (tanner foust drift car), Volvo S60R and a Damn drag strip. There used to be one, what the hell
 
TGTT should be modified to allow drag races down the runway

Actually, a better way to put it might be "Top Gear Test Track should be completed so we can do drag races on the runway."
 
I'd like to see diversity in the tracks available for DLC more than anything.

For example, the first DLC provided a large GP course (Spa) and a short kart track. So for the upcoming DLC, maybe they could provide a medium-size GP course (like Zandvoort, Circuit G.Villeneuve, Sugo, Hockenheimring or Hungaroring) or a course more suited to sports cars (like Brands Hatch or Dijon-Prenois) coupled with a street circuit (like SSR11, Guia, Pau or Opera Paris). The following DLC could then bring another large GP circuit (like Sepang, Imola, Road America or Mugello) and a returning PD original (like Midfield or Apricot Hill). I just want some diversity. I won't be happy with a karting track for every DLC.

Eeek too many people saying they would be happy with more imaginary TC versions of existing cars :sick:

Kaz and PD *might* just read this you know, and think "well that's easy enough to do!"

And that's a bad thing? TCs and RMs of existing cars most probably take far less time to model than brand new cars. It's better bang for the time/expense needed.

Plus, some of us, such as myself, play almost exclusively online with race cars. A TC based on an existing sports car or super car is an as good if not better proposition to me than most road cars (though with exceptions).

I personally despise driving the karts...I don't even like them being in my garage (DLC karts only now). I could do without any kart oriented things from here on out...but I know others enjoy them so I wont b*tch too much lol.

I love the TC versions of cars. It kinda puts a Band-Aid on the extreme lack of RM able production cars that everyone complains about. Im actually pretty surprised to see that kind of reaction from the fans. Don't get me wrong I would love to have "new" cars as DLC also but, as you mentioned, that would take much longer.

Eleven Beemers is one of the best DLC posts ever?? I love BMW too, but I like variety. If you mean BMW race or rally cars, now you have my attention. :dopey:

Aren't there a few rally Beemers? If not then race cars would warm my heart.

I often wonder why people like Baron will mention a few challenging locations like El Capitain and Costa di Amalfi, and then tack on Midfield at the end. Frankly, the track I'd rather see is Red Rock Valley. We haven't seen it since GT2, and it's rather similar but throws in a curve or two more.

I could think of a few BMW's off the top of my head this game needs, but I agree, I want racing versions. M3 gt2, z4gt3, m3 2012 dtm. I'd be a happy camper. Let's not forget the e30.

I agree-ish. I like the TC, but their performance levels don't fit into any real series. I'd prefer to see the real race cars based off of cars in the game. M3 gt2, z4gt3, f430gt, dbr9, ect...
 
Another fan of the Touring Cars here. But on lebes14's point, they should be coded so they can be modified to fit into those racing league specs, such as Super GT, BTCC and DTM.

It would defiantly be a more realistic approach were I would not complain. Im not sure why they havent done this...but, then again, we have only had once batch. Time will tell.

I also dont understand as to why they wouldnt make "real" versions of the cars instead of PD versions (which arent bad but...)
 
Aventador, Boss 302, Gumpert Appolo, Sesto Elemento, Koenessig, Huayra...
More tracks!! Make a very Merry Christmas!!
 
I saw someone mention Ariel Atom towards the beginning of the thread. Surprised no game in particular has picked that one up yet. You'd think at least one racing game would have it by now.
 
I'd be interested if the cars were 100% new to the game (no TC versions or 2011 versions of cars like the X1), or they bring back classic tracks/add new ones.

Is it not in PGR 4. I think it is. I maybe wrong though.

TDU2 has it, but I don't know if I'd consider that a racing game though.
 
Direct interaction is the way to go. I remember Kaz saying he and PD choose cars based on 3 notions:

1. What the fans want (ask us directly, then!)

2. What PD and Kaz want (we've seen where this often goes)

3. What the manufacturers want (more often good than bad)

I'm not a fan of them either. But if PB is going in the direction of fantasy open-wheel vehicles based on real vehicles, I would like to see them create lower end formula cars. Say, give us one based on a Formula 3 in the same way the Formula GT is based on F1 and give it a name like "Formula Sport" or "Formula 250" (assuming it has ~250 bhp). Maybe also a mid-range model based on a FR3.5 or GP2 car with 450-600 bhp (call it the "Formula Clubman"). I'd really like to see that and think it would be great for online spec racing, especially if we could paint and give numbers to such cars.

I don't think they need to be in made to existing racing series specs, but some sort of spec specificness would be appreciated. For example, I like how the FTO, Impreza, RX-7, S2000 and Altezza LMs all had similar HP levels and similar performance in GT3. I'd like it if the TC and RMs could be easily grouped into classes of similar HP, weight and downforce levels. Some to the GT1 spec (~600 hp, ~1100 kg, medium downforce levels), some to GT2 spec (~450 hp, same weight and df), some to WTCC spec (~250-300 hp, 1150 kg, low downforce levels) etc. Right now they are all over the place.

LOL like my 809hp R34...:crazy:
 
My pessimistic/realistic opinion as not to get my hopes up:

+ Scion 86 will prob be the main "attraction"
-more racing gear
-more paints
-more go karts
-more "kart" tracks
-another "special edition" variant of GTR
-more race modded/tuned variants of a few more makes/models already in the game.

A more reasonable guess..
 
How do you figure anything points to a small update? I see no indication of any sort of hint as to what we'll get. All indications seem to be that some people around here are intentionally being downers. ;)

there's a complete version of that track for GTR2/simbin games. It's much better for fooling around.


actually everything points out a big update (xmas), but it's DLC anyway so it can't be game changing.
My low hopes come from the first dlc pack and other cars added to the game after its release: 0 new cars; they are all variations of content we already had.

on the other hand I'm expecting 2 top notch tracks on this second DLC pack.

December isnt going to be as big. We knew that. Most likely just afew cars and one track.
 
PD needs to release DLC which content suits and appeal the "regular" consumer, or better, what people are more willing to give their money for. As an example, what do you think would sell more, and "supercar pack" or an "japanese pack" huh? Are people more likely to drive a Gumpert Apollo and Koenigsegg CCX or more japanese stuff or TC huh?
