Probably been said before.. but how about a car wash that actually works and looks real instead of just some silly thing that spins the car around and makes a funny noise. And actually show the dirt on the cars, not just dull the duco like GT4 does.
 
I saw that when Mika and the McLaren team did that.
It's nice when you can do stuff just for the fun of it.

I would be perfectly happy if pressing the button automatically washes the car, I don't need any animations or anything. Not having the car wash at all would be fine as well unless rally races actually get cars dirty, like you said, then I would understand.
 
An interesting mini-game like a Pit stop game. Pressing buttons to make the pit stop quicker would be nice. And if damage does really go in-depth like engine failures, it would be cool if the car can be pulled into the pits, and then rolled into the garage, and then have a mini-game to fix the car quickly.

It probably wont happen, but it would be cool to have.
 
I'd like to race the New York / Times Square route at Night. With PD's lighting/visuals THAT could awesome.
 
Was to post this in reply to a thread " What insignificant thing in GT5 would make the game just that little bit more awesome ", but thread has since closed and so was directed here.

Not too sure if this has been bought up before, my apologies if it has. Seems insignificant but in my opinion just being able to put the keys into the ignition and start the car, hearing the engine splutter/roar into life and leaving it on idle... and maybe just the ability to be able to rev the engine... its a superfluous detail but i think it fits in with the attention to detail car porn persona that gran turismo has introduced us to.

This maybe implemented in the garage screen in each individual car makers lot or your very own collected garage...

In a videogame it may seem insignificant but in real life to be able to turn the keys of your dream car in the ignition and hear the car come to life is significant.

Being possible to jump the start and get a penalty.

Considering it's trying to be the real driving simulator I think this would make a great addition to the game, especially in online races. It could open up the idea of purchasing "launch control" as a custom upgrade too!👍
 
I'd like to see a new fantasy-track with sloped corners, and I'm thinking of corners where you drive vertical or almost head down. My most wanted feature in such a track would be a LOOPING. But I'm afraid this doesn't fit with a Real Driving Simulator - sniff :indiff:

Edit: This one.

Second that!
 
what id personally like to see would be

- Extra Gauges (Option what gauges eg. boost, BIG tachometers, ect) , or just change the standard tacho speedo gauges to eg. Autometer would be preety cool.
- A boost controller
- BOV's , that cool dose noise
- Exhausts
- Engine bay veiws when purchasing a car
- Mechanical problems such as boost leaks , blown gearboxes ect.
all seems abit to much but just a personal wish list .

this is abit stupid but if you get bumped off the track with another driver a scenes comes one and they start arguing and fighting hahaha bit silly but .

Would like this too, very insignificant and also quite unlikely to be included I'm afraid although it would be nice to sit in the car, turn the key and the dashboard lights come on and hear the whine of the starter motor and the engine coming to life ( whilst the controller/steering wheel shakes ).
Probably implemented after you choose the car in your garage, would be a very welcome detail probably to most, although most ( including me ) could also do without ( definition of insignificance ).:)
 
my list

- Real Rain
- Real Race Rules (Qualify, point systems, Safetycar, Flags, penalty's(drivetrough, stop & go)
- Mechanical problems such as boost leaks , blown gearboxes ect.
- Like in GT4, alot of stats about your car in the garage.
 
Don't know if it's been said before, don't have the time to read 184 pages.
I would like the ability to customize your driver's apearance like in Tourist Trophy. I would love to drive hot laps in a street car with normail street clothes. Maybe even have charictor skins. Could you imagine a GT5 top Gear hosted by Nathen Drake, or Kratos?

Look one page back ( 183 )..........;)
 
I love the gt series, but a couple of things would greatly improve the experience.

1: I think a livery editor would be on the top of my list. Being able to turn my race tuned RUF rgt or BMW M3 into a Le Mans style racer would be quite cool.

2: On a similar note, multi-class races, (GT and prototypes for example) would be quite cool. Either racing in an intense GT race, or doing a LMP class race while avoiding contact with other class cars would be quite fun/challenging/realistic.

3: And finally, stop with all the staggered starts, especially with single races where you can't qualify. Then any race turns into: Dump-100k-into-your-car-so you-can-catch-up-to-the-car-with-the-10-second-head-start, while weaving through traffic, and you have just 2-3 laps. Not as much fun.

I concur with your point one. After having just playing NFS: Shift, I find it's cool to have each car with 4 or more livery models as well as being edited by ourselves.
 
New thing I would like to see is realistic representation of transmissions, no more using a stock transmission with a car engine power boosted 200+ hp beyond what it was designed for and no repercussions. Either you will be warned that the engine could likely cause your transmission to fail at inopportune times or you must install a higher spec transmissions, this whole car can drive with stock tranny crap is ridiculous, you can drive but racing is out of the question. Unless your car already sported high HP then maybe the transmission can run stock, but those trannies are usually higher spec than everyday econoboxes anyway.

I want the livery editor to be more robust, in fact I want it to be more like a custom shop where you can do as you see fit. Just like how in West Coast Customs paint shop, they can pretty much customize the pain scheme, and paint ANYTHING on the exterior. If for instance I wanted to have my rims colored in a style that I came up with, let me be able to put that on it. Not the just paint the whole rim approach that FM3 is known for, but much more intricate(two-tone, color face/side for the 3 dimensional styled rims). Just hand me a spray gun and let me paint it how I see fit, this would make the online community pretty diverse also give people real flexibility in making creations all their own. The body paint should be done in a better way, I say since GT5 cars are built with independent panel parts, we should be able to paint per panel(quarter panel, door panel, etc.), from there they could allow option to take said panel then have the option to make the scheme of your choosing by allowing it to be on the fly manipulation of how much of the panel the color should cover and such(like using vinyls, but this is just paint). I hate using vinyls to make simple two tone color schemes, even worse for multitone, that stuff should be paint jobs. In fact I wonder if PD will allow use of player created stencils that can be uploaded and applied to cars then painted just like in adobe? That would be awesome. I'll be back with a few more ideas.
 
How about during Arcade mode, you get the option to choose the cars you race against, there are always dream matchups I want to see but never had the chance due to only having 2 player on GT4.
 
I'd like to see PD integrate the Best Times into the "home" section, have a neat little statistics area for all tracks, give the top 100 (top 10 dont cut it when you have 700+ cars) times along with detailed info about the run (tires, time\date, aids)

Yes, also they should include friends times with yours. I think in Mod Nation Racers Home space there is a leaders board there. I like that idea
 
Someone watched the standard cars video? (of course you did!)
But is that backfire coming out of the pescarolo at 0:08?
Or just sparks?
 
Flag rules. And not just a green flag graphic at the start of the race and a checkered flag at the end, marshals waving yellows/blues/meatballs at certain parts of tracks, black/white/greens/checkers from the flagman at the start/finish line, all the marshals waving all the flags on the last lap of a long race, etc. Even if that were just for the 'serious' racing series in the game, I'll be pretty disappointed if it's not included in some capacity.
