They posted a pic of the disc now.
They could still be lying about the MC12. It would be strange to do that for something that can be disproved so quick, but people are weird.

Yeah, bit weird, I'll wait for official confirmation. If it's the guy I think it is, his game has conveniently stopped working at a point where people were asking for proof.

Honestly the late 90s GT classes were a crapshoot at the best of times.

You had a short tail F1 GTR run by Parabolica in GT1 in 1998, despite pretty much being a GT2 car at that point in performance.

The Lister example he gave is kind of weird to me because the version he referenced is the GTL, which was specifically made to try and bump the Storm up to the prototype level that the other GT1 cars were at, but the regular Storm was a GT2-early 2000s GT1 car. So it wasn’t really the same car honestly.

Then the Mosler I think originally raced in the equivalent GT1 class at Daytona in the early 2000s, so it being in N-GT is a little weird because the de-tuned version was the MT900 GT3 which came in ‘06 and was definitely not an N-GT car.

Then the Marcos, the Mantara LM600 was also a late 90’s GT2-early 2000’s GT1-spec car. The Mantis racing cars or “GT3” would have been a much better fit for the game’s N-GT class than the LM600.

Honestly some of the stuff in the game, they just made it up. But in reality often cars weren’t really put into classes that made sense either. That F1 GTR really should have been a GT2 entry to give it a chance.

The correct answer to all of this confusion is to blame Porsche.

Well, blame Porsche and Mercedes! But yes, I thought the storm comment was also a little concerning, as they were very different cars. Although I do sort of get the Marcos case after doing some research, as it ran as a GT1 internationally up to 2004, but it's final races (again, international ones), were as detuned GT2 cars in the international GT open, but it still raced as a GT1 in the dutch and spanish series I think (crapshoot indeed haha).
I remember the Mosler being hard to balance in period, as it was built as a US-spec GT2 car, which were allowed a bit more leeway than the N-GT cars used in FIA competition, but by 2004/5 it had been sorted out (it raced as N-GT in the Dutch, Belgian and British GT series, and as G2 in SRO/FIA competition because it's production numbers were too few). But given the comment about the lister, I wouldn't be surprised if the design team, actually meant to include the Mantis, but modelled the Mantara by mistake, and are trying to 'style it out'. Hopefully it's as easy to mod PMR as they say, then I'll try to sort the class issue out myself!
