Also PD might actually hear us and will bring back their LM version of the old cars like Mitsubishi FTO LM, Mazda RX7 LM, Mazda RX8 LM, Nissan Fairlady Z LM, etc. The fictional Gr.3 and Gr.4 of modern cars like Mitsubishi Lancer, Alfa Romeo 4c, Subaru WRX, etc are actually equivalent to their LM race cars from older Gran Turismo. With PD make their own custom race mod for Camaro, and the tuned power pack exclusive cars, I'm hoping PD might actually bring back LM cars.
I could see it largely working for brands that don't have a real-world Gr.4/Gr.3 equivalent within FIA GT3 or whatnot, like Bugatti. that being said, I don't foresee a given brand getting multiple made-for-game racers in the same class. Granted, there are exceptions - especially with Ford, which has the Mustang Gr.3
and the two made-for-game Ford GTs - but they seem extremely rare. Now, getting multiple
real-world racers is a different animal entirely, or a combination of real-world and made-for-game racers, as we can observe with the Porsches in Gr.3 and Hyundais in Gr.4 respectively.
To further elaborate, I don't see Nissan getting the the LM versions of the Z33 nor the one based on the R35, as the brand already has both classic and contemporary options in Gr.3, as well as the Nissan GT-R Gr.4.
However, that's not to say that we could get more made-for-game racers that continue to follow the spirit of the LM racers - heck, I'm even pretty sure that the Subaru WRX STI Gr.3 and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Gr.3 are both meant to resemble GT300 racers in particular. Indeed, I think there are two criteria that need to be met for the creation of a new made-for-game racer: it has to be based on a relatively contemporary model, and the brand must not have any other options for Gr.4/Gr.3, whether due to licensing, or not having a real-world equivalent.
In this regard, I could absolutely see Maserati getting a made-for-game Gr.4 racer, and possibly even a Gr.3 one if the MC20 GT2 somehow can't fit in. The Gr.4 racer could even differ from the real-world GranTurismo GT4 by being based off of the newer version that was introduced in 2023, while the Gr.3 racer could either be the MC20 GT2 outright, or a made-for-game Gr.3 version of the GranTurismo. Sure, there's also the Ghibli and Quattroporte VI as far as Gr.4 is concerned, but I think using the newer GranTurismo as a base would be far more appropriate.
I also could see there being a made-for-game Gr.3 racer for Bugatti, making them eligible for the Manufacturers Cup alongside the Veyron Gr.4 - perhaps the Gr.3 racer could be based on the Tourbillion? Granted, there's also the Bolide, but I think if anything, the Bolide would be a fantastic base for a made-for-game Gr.1 racer, not unlike the Gr.1 versions of some VGTs.
EDIT: There's also Chevrolet that could become an exception to the general trend, as I could totally see us getting a Corvette C8 Gr.3 if Pratt & Miller aren't interested in working out a licensing of the Corvette C8 GT3.R.
EDIT2: I'd also be very content if Mini got a Gr.4 racer based on one of the more recent Cooper S designs - even if it doesn't necessarily come alongside a Gr.3 racer for Mini.
EDIT3: Lancia could also get a Gr.4 racer based on the new Ypsilon. Plus even Dodge could get a new Gr.3 or Gr.4 racer based on their supposed "Copperhead" model that's upcoming, as well as the upcoming Challenger SRT. Plus, I'm sure Lexus may want a new Gr.3 challenger, since Toyota's GT3 efforts are being replaced with the GR GT3, but then again, the LC500 GT300 from the 2023 Super GT season would be perfect in this regard.
Kinda a miracle the Elantra TCR showed up at all and, even then, PD had to scrub the TCR logo off the ECU
