What do you guys think? Personally, I loved the F1 car from GT4, but i missed the authentic twin-turbo V6 or I4 roar of the mid-80s to early-90s F1 cars. Why PD replaced it with a generic F1 car i will never understand, escpeally because the cars were all fake.

Licencing, maybe? Isn't that why they were 'made up' F1 cars in GT3? (i.e. based on real cars but given Polyphony names. Pun intended.)

At the same time, if they modelled a particular F1 car, they'd have to track one down IRL and try to get access to it to model it. Could be done, but it's a lot of legwork.

Then again I could be wrong...

Mind you, I do agree with what you say. How cool would it be to run some of the more iconic cars from that code... like the Tyrell P34?

I see two possibilities:

1) PD ran out of time (work with me here...)

To go along with the one NIKE car instead of two, the missing features and my theory on why GT4 is built as poorly as it is, this fits.

2) PD thought we put too much attention in playing with GT3's F1 cars

Just think of how much play time the GT3 F1 cars got! Unbelievable! Since F1 cars aren't really GT cars and GT isn't supposed to be an F1 game, maybe PD thought "enough is enough". Let's take some wind out of their sails and only give them a fake car this time. Personally, I think it worked out pretty well, if this was their actual plan.

Cheers,

MasterGT
 
Well its licensing issues for sure.There could only be one Formula One game out there and SCEE (or formerly Liverpool Studios) got the license for the F1 game for a long time and only they have the right to put Official F1 cars in the game (including the old cars) If PD had the license,they would have gone and put F1 cars in their games as well.Who doesn't want F1 cars?

never thought of it that way but you might be right... i don't miss the old F1's though. There still is a F1 Championship and all that, but now it's more tempting to get a Mazda 787B or similar car.
 
has it even been confirmed that there will be any f1 cars in gt5? i saw a clip of like 12 of them in vision gt but you know how that ended up. as long as there in the game i will be happy.
 
The F1 car in GT4 is ok, the only bad things about it is how fast the tires wear out and the fact they are generic like stoopid_idiot said 👍
 
I would like not multiple F1 cars, but rather a single generic car for every major openwheel championship in the world

I want cars that resemble those from

Champ Car
IRL
Formula 1
Formula 3000
Formula Nippon
Toyota Atlantics

the list goes on and on
 
What I'd really like to happen is for PD to create a spin-off game:

Gran Turismo: F1 Festival.

It would have all the most recognizable F1 cars of all eras (from the 50's or even 40's all the way to present day) and maybe some "not so iconic" F1 cars.

It'd use a "Gran Turismo Mode" kind of interface and feature every track that was ever in the official (points awarded) F1 calendar for any year, from the 10K Monza track to the China GP circuit, in every configuration that was ever featured in F1.

A licensing nightmare I'm sure, but that I'd play 'till my hands fell off. :scared:

(If PD wanted to throw in some other open wheel categories from Renault Cup to Champ car, they're welcome, I'm happy just with F1).

Nah its called Gran turismo :sly:

But the f1 cars are good because there very distinctive compared to other cars in the game.

They are superior, which is a bad thing. Wasn't as superior in GT4 though due to more 1000 hp race cars.

I dont know why there are f1 cars in the first place. after all the game is called grand turismo.

By the same token I find it hard to think of Fiat 500's and Subaru 360's as being in the 'gran turismo' category as well.

Gran Turismo - The Real Driving Simulator

Can you drive an F1? Yes
Can you drive a Fiat 500? Yes
Can you drive a Subaru 360? Yes

They all qualify :)
 
Bring back the F1s from GT3. They each had their own personality. Different RPM ranges. Different tire wear. Different fuel consumption. Different handling. I really enjoyed trying them all. GT4 was a big disappointment with only one stupid F1 car in different colors.
 
I would also choose the F1 from GT3, the older F1's are IMO much more interesting than the all-are-the-same-19000rpm F1's. Back in the early to late 80's formula one cars had turbo engines with well over 1200 HP in qualification, and looked in my opinion a lot better and different than todays F1.

You cant beat the sound of a V8 in 10000rpm with twin turbos installed. :drool:

GT features a lot of cars of the same race classification (LMGTP, Group-C.....etc), so why not include a bunch of F1's too?

PD always says they want to include as much historcally important cars as possible, if so they shouldnt miss open wheelers: The Brabham BT46 ''Fan Car'', the 79' Ligier JS11 etc.

There are licensing issues that can free F1 cars before 1974. So i don't see why not including REAL F1 cars from 1950 to 1974 now over GT5.

Thou what i miss over Gran Turismo are Grand Prix Pre-War cars like:
Alfa Romeo P2
Alfa Romeo P3
Mercedes Benz W25
Mercedes Benz W125
Auto Union Type C
Auto Union Type D

/see you

Are these cars going to be included, or is it just possible for these racers to compete?
