i've commented about this before in the main wishlist post, but this is probably the better place for it.

I think that the current group system is becoming a problem as more race cars from different eras get added to the game, and that it's time the groups were split up into the irl categories they raced in. the benefits of doing this would be; it should help improve BoP in sport mode, it would give PD more interesting options for new races to add, and it would allow PD to buff some cars that are currently slower than they should be based on their real lap times (like the GTEs in Group 3).

Group1 would split into 5 Groups

LMH/LMDh
LMP '15-'16
LMP '10-'12
VGT (or Group X)
Group C

Group 2 splits into 4

GT500 '08
GT500 '16 (or Class 1 Touring Cars to include the DTM Audi RS5)
GT1 '97-'98
LMP/LMGTP

Group 3 is tricky since it has a few categories that would only have one car unless PD adds more.

GT3 (could possibly even be 2 groups, one for GT3 cars from '15 and earlier and one for '16 to current)
GT3 (fictional/VGT)
GT1 (post 2000)
GT1 (pre '97)
GTE
JGTC GT500
Group 5

Group 4 splits into 3

GT4 (maybe also a fictional GT4, but that would be most of the group, since the Cayman is the only officially scanned GT4 afaik)
TCR
'90s DTM


also make a '60s le mans group for the Ford MkIV GT40, the Ferrari 330 P4, and the Porsche 917k. and two categories for the Super Formula cars (one for each generation), and one for the two F-3500s.

My only issue with this kind of system is a couple of classes would have very few cars, otherwise sub-categories would be a very nice option

yeah a few categories would be super limited, especially Group 5 and the '00s GT1 with only one car each from the current list. but i still think that's a better solution than putting them in a broad group where they're unlikely to be able to compete against more modern machinery anyway. when's the last time you saw someone using the Aston DBR9 GT1 or the Super Silhouette Skyline in a gr3 race after all?
