Considering how the previous SEMA winners have been included in the series thus far (if they were included at all), I honestly can't find myself very interested in which one wins anymore.


Give us the ability to modify stock cars in a similar way. Don't give us a highly modified, personalized version of a car we don't have in the game in stock form anyway and isn't particularly useful for anything in the game because of how specialized it is.
 
Is there a way we can find out what cars are entered for the GT Award, or are we stuck to finding out later today when it's announced?

They're not really entered, they are hand picked by Kaz. Not sure how the winner gets picked though, probably also by Kaz. And yeah, no way to find out till the end I believe.

I also think it'll be an FR-S. There's tons of them at this show (including one from my work) since it's the "newest greatest thing".
 
Personally I really don't care about these one-off cars being added, I'd much rather they use their time modelling stock new cars, not modified ones. Just my personal opinion.

Have to agree with you both, for example I'd rather have a regular '60 'Vette than the Art Morrison one, and which I could transform myself if I felt the need to (engine swaps amongst other things).
There are perhaps exceptions whereby the transformation (or customization) is so radical that you can't replicate it with the ingame options but in general I'd rather create my own Sema-like cars (or anything).

Don't mind them being included though, but it's a shame they model these customized versions without often including the regular ones.

Interesting. I had seen that there was a entry form for the GT Award so I figured that was how the cars became eligible. Guess that isn't the case.


I've seen the FR-S that are at the show. Can't say there isn't one of those that I don't like.
 
Jordan will you give him a copy of GTPedia?
Is there going to be an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi involved or is this purely a SEMA experience?
I don't have a physical copy of GTPEDIA to give him yet, but yes, I will also be interviewing him later this evening. 👍

Good luck with the interview Jordan, hope you bring us some good news! 👍

Grill him as much as you can about gt6 without stepping on any toes.
 
I want it to win. The car is epic.

I don't know anything about it but it just looks like a racing version of the car to me, with better customization in GT6 we could create something similar ourselves from the road car.
 
I seen thats theres "5" Focus STs there, in the Ford booth. One is a Tanner Foust Racing one, best out of the 5 anyway. The 360hp FR-S is cool, but the stealth FR-S is to like the G35 we have, same with the classic mustang. Need something new, FF Focus tuned by cosworth could be it. Even the 3 Velosters look crazy :P. new mustang would be ok i guess

True in some aspects, but couldn't you say the same for all race cars based off of a production car? (Super GT, etc)
 
Those are all correct, R1600.

@Jordan. Good luck and have fun in the interview buddy. Kaz can be pretty tricky at times, but I have faith in you having a great interview with him at SEMA. :)👍
