Forza already has V8 Supercars and the ALMS

But whats interesting is that Iracing has NASCAR, Grand Am, and Indycar. The licensing cost of those series cant be too much if Iracing can get them all. Thats why I suggest PD go after them all as well.

Grand Am prototypes will give you proper racing cars for the Daytona 24 hours. Indycar will give you proper racing cars for Indianapolis
 
I would say British Touring Cars but it's bored the hell out of me everytime I've watched it this season so for that reason I'll go with DTM.
 
I'd like to see the DTM cars they have continued, and see the addition of Star Mazda and Rolex DPs. The World Touring Car Championship wouldn't be horrible, but I'd prefer the first three.
 
Demolition derbies.

Scratch that, they would need a decent damage model first, so I voted FIA GT1. :)

What sort of German Canadian doesn't like the DTM? Am I speaking of Bruno Spengler? Vielleicht...


Thanks though! Deutsch Post is so... wichtig... in the DTM.


Certainly, we need to continue with the DTM, I don't think it's in jeopardy.
 
I am surprised to see Indycar with so few votes and I'm surprised to see the Daytona Prototypes get so many, at least so far. Im guessing there must be alot of iRacing people voting and they had a chance to race them and see how fun the Daytona Prototypes are.

If Indycar was smart they'd license the cars to PD cheap. The series needs alot of exposure to help it grow again. And as long as you have the Indianapolis oval you need proper cars to go around it. I said the same thing about Daytona, if your going to have the oval you need NASCAR. And guess what, they added NASCAR.

Disappointed lower tier Formula hasn't got more votes. The first step after karts in a racing career is usually an open wheel car of some kind, and I was hoping PD would allow GT drivers to follow a proper career path in the simulator.

With the vast variety of lower tier Formula cars out there, GP2, Nippon, Indy Lights, F3, A1, Renault, F2000, etc etc I thought we would have seen something by now.

Maybe a Skip Barber Dodge trainer would be a good start? When drivers move on from karts to something with suspension and aero and more horsepower this would be a good start

They need to use there FIA GT, DTM, and WRC licenses to the fullest before anything else.

Forza has the ALMS license, but I'm curious how they use it besides just offering official cars? How are the racing events handled in Forza 4 that feature ALMS cars?

I would hope a license would equal more then just the cars, but official events and so on.

I think everybody wanted to see full, 10+ 1 hour long rounds in a Super GT championship in GT5's A-Spec mode, but that's not what we got. And NASCAR fans know the sport is known for long, grueling races, and that's not what they got. The WRC fans didnt get to take on Sebatian Loeb over a WRC season.

As a whole the licenses were fumbled and misused, including Top Gear

I added some important series to your list of lower tier Formula cars.


In all seriousness, Formula BMW is already in racing games.


Even if they just gave us the shell of a Formula One car, and gave us four different engines (300 hp, 500 hp, 800 hp, and 1200 hp,) we could easily make do with that. Just put one shell up, with different aero/tire/engine packages, and let us paint it! It's not that hard.

:lol:
 
Just copy and paste GTR2 + Race 07/GTR Evolution cars and we have a winner. FIA GT, Formula BMW, LMP, Clio Cup, WTCC, Legend cars...
Then new DTM cars, Super GT 500 and 300, New Rally cars and old ones...

From the list i selected: FIA GT,DTM, V8 supercars, WEC and Lower Tier Formula. We need racing cars to make some real leagues and compete with similar cars.

If PD can´t get all licences because of money they should do like other games do...invent categories. They made the Formula GT and put the Lexus IS-F Racing concept (with a livery editor we can create or own teams) , we have the VW Beetle cup and Polo Cup cars but i don´t see people using them. Probably because those cars are standard...
Same happens with DTM cars, old and standard...

The thing is that we need more racing series.
 
I didnt vote for any of them. I would want PD to add the Formula 1 licence and do justice with the cars, in order to have Formula 1 cars past and present. An Indycar licence would be more than welcome too, whilst further developing their current licences.
 
Indycar- cause that series needs some VERY SERIOUS support. PD might be able to provide the kick in the pants that American open wheel needs.

Of coarse, it doesn't help that the Dallara is ugly as sin.

Agree with this completely. Also, the market for Indycar games seems to be wide open and PD could cash in on that.
 
But, Indy is a dying sport... I don't think too many people want to watch cars go full-throttle around a track all day. I can't be sure, but it doesn't seem interesting...

One way to help with the ugly problem is for PD to use the license to add Indycars from the 90s or other eras. But I'm not sure if Indycar would want it's older cars to overshadow the new ones, so they probably wouldn't like that.

But in the end the Dallara still looks better and more racy then today's F1 cars, which sadly isn't saying much

The 16 race schedule has 11 road courses and 5 ovals and they are wide open on only two of the ovals

But besides that the best racing in Indycar this season has been on the ovals. Indianapolis is the best race I've seen all season from any motorsport category and I've seen alot of racing this year
 
Regardless... count me out of that one.

I'm really planning a Star Mazda series on GT5 though. The only thing really stopping me, is interest (I don't know who would sign up) and the cars (Ferrari F10 is closest, but still has 100 hp more... Granted, it seems to handle similarly, somewhat, with as little downforce as possible, and on sports tires.

I've previously offered PD their choice of testicle in exchange for:
1. Seattle
2. Premium AE86

I'd like to extend the offer to include:
1. Surfer's Paradise
2. Long Beach
 
Voted for V8 Supercars, Indycar and WEC. The great cars in the series make it worth it.
 
DTM all the way! Yesterdays race in the wet at Norisring was awesome! Jamie Green (Merc - slicks) took Martin Tomczyk (BMW - wets) in the final corner in what, for me, was one of the most exciting races I've seen in ages! 👍

Also got to see DC get his best DTM result ever - P5 in the wet. Not bad! 👍
 
Just give us a proper series that uses the GT300s*. That'll do for starters. It's a bit pointless having a load of cars that you can't really use anywhere.

* This could be changed to any class of car that is in the game but has no series, like the DTM also.
 
I would like to see the DTM, SuperGT, GT3 and GT1 with all tracks and a special careermode in GT6.

the series should include the 2012 cars and tracks. And realistic 24h and other endurance races.

Well Project cars will offer many racing series and a special careermode. WIP at the moment.

Was a great race on a boring track.
 
GT3. Almost all the cars are already there in the game as production models. Just add the "Race Mod" option to all of these (BMW M3, Lotus Evora, Lambo Gallardo, MP-12C, SLS AMG, Audi R8, etc) and you've got your problem solved.

What I'd REALLY like to see is Lola & Oreca licenses in GT5. Bet you could pick up a Lola license real cheap. Imagine the plethora of cars from these two chassis manufacturers? B11/80, B12/60(80), Oreca 01 (LMPC), Oreca 03. There's your modern WEC, your ALMS, your Le Mans, your all. HP up, LMP1. HP down, LMP2/LMPC.
