I didn't think it would be hard for PD to delete the King Dome from the Seattle Circuit. It was demolished in 2000 but appeared in GT3 and GT4.

and to think that they spent all thay time modeling Safeco Field...
It must be harder than we think to remove or change things once they are developed.
I still think changing the color pattern of the shoulder pads won't be too hard. Nor is deleting a building from a track. Maybe someone forgot?
*pic*
Heh.
And if you choose not to do so, or are simply unable to do so because you bought the Arcade, you don't get to use those cars or tracks at all, correct?
But not the ring! I mean it's the ring man! Well... a distorted/badly modeled version of the ring (a.k.a ellipse) but still!
About the NASCAR part, I was talking about that T10 has the older cars in the screenshots. Do you think that, since PD has a NASCAR license, they will try to have the classic cars in the game?
OH, certainly, you are right:

But for example, on Gran Turismo PSP, these Laguna Seca piano stripes remain red/white too.
The tires.Those Forza stock cars don't look very good to me. Maybe its the all gray and black scheme, something does not look right to me.

heh.
Whats that? Is that FM3??
Are the lights and the front some texture?
GamesRadars review of F3. Decided to have a joke.
IMO the main problem is they are fictional. They don't even appear to be exact replicas of the car the NASCAR Sprint Cup series used before the CoT
Overall the dimensions do not look right.
- way too much ride height
- No goodyear logo on tires
- The nose is too short
- There is no window net
- wheel base is too long
- rear bumper is too high
These are some quick observations. I could go on and on but since they are fictional and aren't meant to be exact replicas of the real thing its kind of useless.
And as for customization, the trailer has shown PD will include several different paint schemes for each stock car in GT5. If they decide to include a livery editor for the stock cars in Gran Turismo then cool. It would work well with the cars.
So the content on the second disc is considered DLC? That's how they're excusing leaving out Arcade owners? Then isn't it a bit disingenuous to claim "the game" has 400 cars and 100 tracks, if that includes "DLC"?Yup. Anyone who has an Arcade is unable to load DLC from disk or internet.
FM2 had over 300 cars, but only 47 tracks, so it sounds like FM3 offers fewer cars, but more tracks. Personally, I'd prefer more cars to more tracks, but either way, I don't see how you can simply say, "FM3 offers more." It sounds like a tradeoff to me.The good news is, the game on disk 1 is bigger than Forza 2 was.

So what happens when an Arcade owner wants to race online and one of their opponents chooses one of the "DLC" cars? Are they booted from the race? Can they just not play online at all, a la Burnout?

They are not pre-COT cars from NASCAR. They are late model cars, which can be found in ARCA/REMAX and ASA, which is what I raced. The dimensions are proper for those late models. So no, they are not fictional.
How can the ARCA cars be late models if they look exactly like the old cup cars that in Nationwide? For instance, here's the #90 Great Clips Toyota From Stringer Motorsports in ARCA:

Now here is the #38 Great Clips Toyota From Braun Racing in Nationwide:

Other then the teams, the numbers and tire suppier, whats the difference?
ARCA has lower compression engines, generally run about 4 years behind NASCAR in car bodies (which is why we are seeing Monte Carlos and Taurus' as opposed to Impalas and Fusions). ARCAs are hand me downs from NASCAR, which is why it's much less expensive to run when you want to start a team.
Not sure if you've watched ARCA this year or recently, but I've seen a fair share of Fusions and Impalas(which is nothing more then the Monte Carlo SS with small changes to the rear windows and Model specific decals anyhow). I've only seen maybe two or three older Monte Carlos circa 2005 and one Taurus.
It goes beyond the blanks. Every race car is paint-able this time. Just throw a new layer over the existing livery & presto!I think this is where livery editors shine, with blanks you now can create almost any car to your liken,
I have noticed they also added blank DTM touring cars such as the Mercedes-Benz & Audi.
This is an area that I hope PD will include.
