Ok, here we go. Add to this discussion with your ideas. Tell me what GT6 will need in terms of raceday experience, immersion, and fun factor. These aspects are of the highest concern for the future of our favorite franchise- and sadly, they seem to be the most ignored by PD.**NO CARS. *** NO TRACKS.** Lets keep it clean.
*Cautions during races. Full Course and Local.
*Track Marshalls.
*Flag Rules.
*Pace cars / Tow Trucks.
*More damage to the environment. Even some slight geo-mod.
*Tire tracks in the gravel traps / mud. Mud, Dirt, Grass, Gravel kicked onto the track.
*Water accumulation/drying effects on the track.
*Dynamic track surface with temperature and humidity affecting grip -also tracks should start green and "rubber in" at different rates depending on grip factors & laps. (scroll halfway down that linked page)
*Major work on the dirt/snow surfaces- in GT5 these surfaces rate very poorly and need a major overhaul in the realism department. The track surface-to-tire contact makes it feel like we are riding on a cusion of video-game air. The large 3D chunks of dirt and snow exist only as visual objects. Driving through those with no effect whatsoever confirms this point in a very lucid way.
*Major work on the debris/particles. Grass, dirt, mud, dust, rocks, snow, water. Better water spray from tires in the rain -it's
not created and dissipated as vertically or smoothly as in real life. In GT5 it explodes out radially in big chunks.
*Option to control the car during pitting.
*Suspension and chassis should heat up and weaken over the course of a long race.
*Brake fade. Brake system failures.
*Slight Power Loss over long races.
*Crash Retirements.
*Mechanical retirements of all kinds. This is a big part of racing. Also it would be nice to see a retired opponent's vehicle sitting in the grass once in a while.
*Blown Tires. Flat-spotting tires.
*Fires.
*Fluid losses. Fluid on track should warrant a caution (local or full) with the safety crew cleaning / covering the spill with
drysweep.
*Engine over-rev time should count towards/increase chances of a blown engine/overheating.
*Adjustable Shift Light. (so you can place it below redline to protect the motor or help to stay in the torque curve)
*Lose gears -maybe due to our own clutch errors?
*Major A.I. overhaul. Please make them into smooth race drivers. The least-skilled racers in the world would never hit the gas/brakes/gas/brakes like the A.I. in GT5. I mean... wow.
*Racing seasons.
*Teams / Clubs / Clans.
*Spotter/Crew Chief/Navigators in headset. A variety of options for the speaker and multiple people to choose from.
*Dynamic and realistic Crowd Noise. In GT5 the crowd noise is absolutely deplorable.
*Selectable racing fields in arcade mode.
*Event Synthesizer from gt2. (or something like it)
*Real-world "Driving Roads".
*Track day practices- random cars or performance classes cruising around, dynamic field sizes, sparce/no crowds.
*Online track days with AI employed to fill the fields.
*MANY more raceviews. (lower bumper, upper bumper, hood, adjustable cockpit POV with steering wheel on/off and helmet on/off, front edge of roof, rear edge of roof, adjustable chase cam POV with inertia on/off)
*Head/Face Tracking of front and back movements -this will zoom in and out allowing you to see around A-pillar. 👍
*Ability to relocate and change the style of HUD display.
*Nm and Kw units.
*Multiple Weight Ballast Options / Success Weight Ballasts where applicable.
*Adjustable steering/gas/brake sensitivity on the dualshock controller.
*MUCH more peripheral steering wheel orientation/options.
*Car-sorting folders/ `New Folder' option.
*DLC Cars, tracks, and EVENTS.
*Rallycross.
*Dirt2 style replays. (maybe take the old place of the "Dive" replay)
*Replay Highlight Reel. Replay control of some sort. : /
*Victory Cinema clips- paddock, celebration, podium, interview shots from afar (no sound needed, just
play music).

Can we have some fun please? I want my friends to enjoy Gran Turismo, but how will that ever happen with a fun factor of zero? The old "driving simulator" idea has honestly reached it's end. We need this to evolve into a RACING SIMULATOR. Bring the fun!
