Hi, I've begun creating a spreadsheet to classify every vehicle by it's characteristics (2 door, 4 door, convertible, Race Car/Racing Modified, etc.) and it's size/type (mid-size, entry luxury, executive, kei car, etc.).
Why? Because I'm a little compulsive and like having things in a nice neat order. Also, I believe this will make it easier to create varied challenges and series here on GTP. I've only been a member a week, and only participated in one official race, but I like this community and believe this will help improve it (or at least add some variety) for the online racing enthusiasts.
The caveat: the examples above are only a small sampling of the classifications. There's the American classifications, British classifications, Euro Classifications, and Japanese classifications. And, to be honest, I think there needs to be a unified/GTP set of classifications to better focus on the sporting aspect. For instance, Hot Hatch isn't an officially recognized classification, but is one that should be included.
Here's what I need from the community at large: A general consensus on the GTP/Unified classifications and some help populating the spreadsheet with little x's for the classes for each car.
TL/DR: Made a big spreadsheet; need help filling it in; want community decision regarding car classifications; want a spreadsheet to help make it easier to build racing series.
Here's the spreadsheet.
For those that want to help, PM me and I'll add you as an editor on the spreadsheet.
