Yep, and do you know why this is happening? Because in Yamauchi's vision there's no need to categoryze cars and all the players should be "inspired" when they play the game. Well I guess he really never tried a pubblic lobby with 11 years old "inspired" kids.

At this time with 1000 cars, GT series need some organization or people will always find a way to exploit them. I don't think their goal was everyone to use a 390GT1 road car in every single time attack, come on. What's the point of 1000 cars if you always use the same? I'm almost done with pubblic lobbies and leaderboards in GT5, I'm getting more fun in arcade mode with stock premium cars, the AI is decent overthere.
I do think the same, i even go as far as by saying that KY doesnt play the game at all.
About the time trial.... It would be more reasonable to call it "R390 Road Car Time Trial".
Even if you dont know what car to use, you enter, you check the leaderboard and you get your answer.
About categories....the funny thing is that i am pretty sure that all the cars have ID's but for some odd PD reason...PD havent added it as a filter to online races or to short out your garage.
For example in the latest time trial it says "road car", you cant enter with anything else or with an RM.
At GT500 seasonal event same thing, you cant enter with a road car or with a nascar.
We have about 25 car categories?i think?
i mean... how hard could it be to make 25 new boxes? no need for something fancy, they could do it like the aids with the tick/un-tick option for online racing and in the the garage they could easily add a new drop down menu to short our cars out.... or even better give us multiple favorites and let us short them out, so we can have Premiums and standards all together.
....and i just recalled one more thing, before the 1.09? 1.08? the system could filter and not showing up the cars that doesnt have the proper tyres for the race.
I am pretty sure that everything that is needed is in there.
