I was well aware it was sarcasm. And it seems like you're just trying to make nice now, which I have not interest in doing. This has gotten way off topic now so I'm going to remove myself from this thread.

Adiós. :)
 
Ahhh sweet quietness (except this thread is about 850 plus hp NASCARs)
So........ if GT6 does add more races to there endurance section they should add NASCAR so they have = representation of IndyCar and NASCAR races in endurance.
 
I never said they should handle well. I know they don't handle well, when in GT5 they handle as good as a purpose built road course race car, say the Corvette RM for example. Which isn't realistic, which is the point I was making. I don't know how much clearer I can make that. Maybe try reading what I actually type before you accuse me of something I didn't say.

No, they don't handle that well in-game. The physics are off but the Corvette RM has far more grip. I read your text very well.

I think you're the one who needs to learn to read stuff like the title of this thread, because this obviously isn't where you belong.

Absolutely false statement
:lol: not really.
. The reason the cars stay side by side is because of the restrictor plates which forces bump drafting and pack racing.
What about at the other 21 tracks where they don't use them? There's still close racing there!
If you want real wheel to wheel racing, watch IndyCar.
Haha, no. Far fewer cars than NASCAR, and the side by side racing is much less than NASCAR.
Those guys go wheel to wheel at higher speeds
Less often, I might add.
and don't touch because of the obvious consequences.
No. They don't touch because in an open wheel car, touching will result in a much bigger crash than in huge stock cars. They can't touch is why they don't. If they do then they could easily have a crash like Wheldon's where he flew into the fence, and in cars that have far less driver safety, that's dangerous.
That, my friend, takes real skill.
And you're saying that NASCAR drivers can't do that? Come on. They make as many clean passes as in Indy Car. You're just too ignorant to notice any of the ones that aren't dirty.
It doesn't take much talent to put a fender on the guy next to you to wreck him or move him out of the way.
Actually, it does. Because if you hit each other at the wrong time, it'll end up in a huge crash. And the drivers being hit make amazing saves quite often.
It takes MUCH more talent to adjust your front and rear bars to get the car to handle better
HAHAHA. This I had to laugh at. You obviously have never watched NASCAR.

Every pitstop, the teams make TONS of adjustments. The only difference is that the Indy car drivers can do it in car, while the cup drivers cannot. But they make the same adjustments my friend.
and then run inches from the guy next to you and complete a CLEAN pass.

And you're saying that NASCAR drivers can't do this? Considering they have almost NO aero, I find NASCAR drivers have to have much more talent to stay off each other, something they do well.
To say it's not real racing is not ignorance, it's fact based opinion.

Fact based opinion based on opinions it seems.

NASCAR is real racing in every way. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a factually false way of racing. It just makes it a type of racing you dislike.

Racing in nascar is as real as WWE wrestling.

Except WWE is fake. And NASCAR isn't.
It looks real, but it's controlled.

You said earlier that NASCAR has almost no enforcement of the rules. F1 is far stricter with their absolutely ridiculous psychotic amount of strict rules for everything. F1 isn't controlled either. So how is NASCAR controlled?

Again, you're just sputtering utter nonsense.

:lol: You should try doing some research before you make claims. Nascar is losing TV ratings and fans.
After all the Joey Logano stuff, I believe it's the opposite.
Have you seen the stands at the races this season? They're almost bare. Bristol looked like they had to give away tickets. :rolleyes:

1. So you DO watch NASCAR? :confused:

2. I went to the Texas race last week. 200,000 fans is far from bare.

Like I said earlier, I don't want ANY NASCAR in GT6. They just didn't catch the aspect of the racing, similar to how they didn't do Top Gear correctly. It's nothing against NASCAR, it's just that I think PD need to fix their game first before they try to incorporate NASCAR.

But you, you've said enough. I think it's time you leave this discussion. All you're doing is sputtering hateful things towards a thread quite obviously filled with NASCAR lovers.

EDIT: just read that you decided to stop your discussion in this thread.

I will applaud that, as I think that's a very wise move at this point.

Why would you write a giant post to try and take the thread back off track when the guy you are posting at said he removed himself from the thread? Give it up.

1. He was still in the conversation when he responded to me.

2. I like to prove my points.

3. I made an edit thanking him for leaving the discussion.

4. My post contained text that was on topic.

Sorry.

NASCAR is as real as any other sport: boxing, basketball, golf, tennis, football, soccer and many other sports have illegally fixed if that is what you mean as fake. Anyway...
I think the Brickyard 400 could be added to the endurance races but I don't think GT wants 2 endurance races at the same track in the game.

Correct. The oval endurance races should be the Daytona 500, Indy 500, and Superspeedway 150 miles.

It seems a bit cheap to hijack the Indy 500 name and use it like in GT5 - for a race without Indy Cars. Brickyard 400 makes more sense.
 
Yes, I agree. I don't think GT will have IndyCars in GT6 and maybe not ever. LeMans NASCAR SuperGT and F1 are the 4 best represented series in GT by far.
 
All they need to do is bring in more of the 'popular drivers' then add some more NASCAR-esque courses (such as Martinsville, Sonoma and Atlanta). All with day to night transition and fans will be happy!

What Race Driver 3 does is actually have the AI named after the drivers competing in the series, which I don't disagree with. If not, GT should not name the cars after the drivers. It isn't like any other actual race car in the game is named after the driver. I think it cheapens the experience.

That's the thing with NASCAR in general, the driver's identity is synonymous with the car they drive. So I can see why PD did that.
 
Ye ha now please back on subject
NASCAR may not be letting GT use all the drivers names because of copyright but I don't know for sure.

If you don't know then why don't you research it? Do you just post in this thread to keep it from dying? Because there really is little to discuss on this topic at this point.

Yeah, F1 is definitely more represented than DTM or GT1, having 2 cars and all.
 
There are F1 tracks and races in the game too. Every F1 in GT6 would be nice also as well as NASCAR,

Except there's not. The FGT is a fictional open wheeler. F1 won't happen for two reasons: 1. Licensing belongs to Codemasters. 2. Licensing costs be astronomically high.
 
A Livery Editor and a better Track Creator would make the NASCAR portion a lot easier.

People can make their own ovals and people could make their own NASCARs, easy.
 
PD should do it like this:

instead of putting everysingle car of all drivers of that year, they should put only one NASCAR CAR in the NCD, and afterwords, where you normally select the paint of the car, there you should select the actual car of the driver.

so instead of having 42 NASCAR cars, you only have one.

Woudln't work. As mentioned extensively before, they all have differing interiors and stickers inside and and are as such different cars.

in fact you would have a couple of cars because of the diffrent manufactures
 
Yes that could work. Here is an idea for some classic NASCARs that is like that: Have 1 stock car from each generation of NASCAR (6 in total) in the New dealerships once you buy those you can race modify them and paint it like any NASCAR of that generation you want. (the stickers may be able to be painted over depending on how extensive the paint editor is)
 
Guys sorry but you shouldn't get your hopes up, remember GT6 is for a world wide market, not US only. Of course the Japanese want their GT series cars, Americans want Nascar and Indy cars, Brazilians want their Stockcars, Australians want their V8 Supercars, etc, just be thankful if you get a little, don't hope for a lot. Oh and a lot of people want Formula One too. But even more people don't want or at least couldn't care less about some of the racing series that are not relevant to them.
 
I'd rather have separate cars to own, rather than a library of liveries. I know that's more expensive, but that gives me something to race and save up for.

On this matter, I want a lot of licensed team cars from all racing leagues, in order to stock racing fields with individual competitors. I doubt SONY can afford or be willing to license hundreds of teams from all these leagues, so I'm hoping that PD goes the route that Ferrari Challenge did, and create fantasy liveries and drivers to flesh out rosters. Two things that irk me when I enter a race is seeing cars which have no business being there, and duplicates.
 
I think GT6 should do like the old Race Driver games did and have a very diverse field of racing series. From lawn mower racing to monster trucks and every (cheap licensing) racing series in between. That would be fairly inexpensive and make alot of people happy.
