List of current Gr.1/Gr.3/Gr.4 cars and their possible replacements in GT7/8

[doblocruiser]

If Stellantis allows running the DS models as Citroën branded you could have :

• DS9 Gr.3
• DS4 Gr.4

However with the ...load of SUV's flooding the market I would be surprised to see PD have an SUV Gr.3 class

Not bad idea with the DS's but about those SUV - PD can pick all those SUVs to race together , we dont need a special racing category for them lol

Hope they add them soon and not in gt8 so I don't have to buy a new game.

don't get your hopes too high tho , because it is most likely these race cars will be in the next GT

A bit silly to have official Spoon Sports decals and Spoon Sports are actually actively updating their Super Taikyu Style, with no Gr.4 Civic in the line up.

Yea and it doesn't really need any new parts or modifications - dunno why but PD been skipping Gr.4 on purpose if we don't count the Mazda3 Gr.4 , which is a irony since these Gr.4 cars would be the easiest to add mostly because parts are already there

Especially in the case of the Gr.4 Supra where the interior doesn’t need to be changed. Just adjust the aero, suspension, wheel & tyre package to the appropriate geometry & stiffness and engine parameters to Gr.4 efficiency and it’s done.

I do think it needed a "racing" interior, but in a way that GT Auto roll cages might suffice.

I mean in the way PD felt it didn’t need to be changed. So weird they even made sure to point that out with its name saying it “combines the performance and exterior of a standard Gr.4 car with the interior of the road car.”.

We just need two more brands in the game.

Would the Eclipse Cross which is used in Stock Car Brasil fit into Gr.3?

Somewhat off-topic, but GTA Online referenced Jimmer's and Super GT's N24 BMW before GT gets to add it.

 

[05XR8]

That’s messed up.

It would be quite funny if the next Gr3 or Gr4 added by PD is based on a SUV

[Moved from the update prediction thread since it's moot to talk it there]

I thought that, if they couldn't mend their supposedly burned bridges with P&M, they might want the GT Movie C8 prop car back. (IIRC it was listed on sale, but I lost the post.)

I would totally liked that C8 race car even if its not a proper C8.R - it had a custom widebody , they still can do any widebody to have their own Gr.3 race car without P&M

Just now I've found it, and it has been since been sold.

It's a track-converted road car for all intents and purposes.
