Which Racing series should PD add next?

I voted for BTCC and V8 Supercars.

They are both very entertaing motorsports and are great to watch.

I being from the UK personally prefer the BTCC, for me it is one of the best motorsports to watch, I think I'd rather watch it over the likes of F1
 
Dtm or btcc would be great, I think pd could do a stand alone game with touring cars, it would be fantastic using the gt5 engine

Well i respect your opinion, but why some people want to buy 2-10 PD games instead of GT6 with all the content?

I cant understand that.

It wouldn't be a proper dtm game if in gt6, just a couple of races stuffed into aspec. I am talking about a proper btcc or dtm game using the gt5 engine, full career mode and full racing season like the old codemasters touring car titles. It will never happen but would be epic (as long as they sorted the engine sounds and crash damage)

Will likely never happen, but I agree. A couple of the 'endurance' races in GT5 are not even long enough to be proper race lengths.

Just look at Project Cars. It will offer something like this. And it's one game with different race series.

What you want is something like a FIFA for every different league. That would be bad. Games can offer a good career mode with great content. FIFA already showed that and Project Cars will show that.

NOTE: The game will be a Retail game. Things can change and the game is WIP. The document is from 2011.

After you read this. i have to ask again. Why do you want a game for every racing series instead of 1 product?

Developer can do it. They shouldn't be lazy.

How did we get the F2007 and F10? :confused:

Ferrari has control over it's own individual cars being licensed, Ferrari F1 cars racing each other in GT5 constitutes towards a Corsa Clienti meeting, not an F1 race, therefore GT5 gets away with it.

.... No love for Blancpain Endurance Series?
 
We need some Grand Am Daytona Prototypes and some GT Cars from said series. GT3 Class Race Mods (Ferrari 458, Audi R8 GT3 premium, a RUF RGT RM (as a 911 GT3 RSR. no Porsche Licence remember), BMW M3 Coupe, Nissan GT-R, Ford GT, Mazda RX-8 RM (Grand Am GT Class), Chevrolet Camaro TC (Grand-Am GT), BMW M3 TC (Grand-AM GT), Chevrolet Corvette DP (from Grand-Am), Ford Riley (Daytona Prototype Chassis), BMW Riley (Daytona Prototype Chassis), and the Star Mazda cars.
 
Whatever series they decide to add the most important thing they need to take into account is balanced performance and pairity, without it it'll just be another random collection of meaningless cars.
And yes I do love all of the choices listed on the OP, only one I'd add is GT3 making the assumption that the OP is reffering to FIA GT1 2010/2011.
Oh, and on iRacing we have:
-V8 Supercars official.
-NASCRAP official.(pretty much every class in oval racing)
-Grand Am official.
-Indy Car official.
-Skip Barber official.
-BTCC official.(Jan 2013)
-Super GT official.(Jan 2013)
Plus we have:
-GT1
-GT2
-LMP2
-F1
-GT3 (this fall)
-Star Mazda
-World Challenge GT
-Mustang Cup
-Spec Miata/MX5
-SRF
-Classic F1
-Radical SR8
All modeled from the real deal. Now GT5 will never go to the detail iRacing goes but they can learn from them.

Blancpain Endurance and ADAC GT Masters may be GT3 machinery, but the grid sizes are not only impressive, but packed full of quality: -

Blancpain Endurance:

7 x R8 LMS Ultra's
16 x 458 Italia's
1 x F430
7 x Z4's
11 x MP4-12C's
6 x SLS's
1 x X-KR
1 x Viper
10 x 997 GT3's
2 x Gallardo's

ADAC GT Masters:

2 x Alpina B6's
5 x Gallardo's
8 x SLS's
7 x 997 GT3's
2 x MP4-12C's
3 x Corvette ZO6.R's
2 x Camaro GT3's
4 x Z4's
3 x R8 LMS Ultra's
1 x Ford GT
1 x GTR
2 x V12 Vantages

...So even if Polyphony use their usual LAZY approach, we'll still get a good chuck of cars from either.
 
Any type of touring car racing would be great.
DTM, GT1, GT4 or V8 supercars all's great.

I personally am not to fond of open wheel racing, so Codemasters can have formula1 :D
 
Seeing as how GT5 is the only well-known Japanese made racing sim, it's the best and only obvious choice of sim to include classic Japanese racing series, therefore that would be my vote (as broad as it may be). Watch the video of Gan-San in his old KPGC10 at Fuji and tell me you don't want that car in GT5!

Formula Ford would be awesome if PD can nail the open wheeled-physics. A grid of 10+ with lower grade tyres would be awesome. :D

And BTCC, just so I can get my hands on the Honda. http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/btcc/

300+ hp to the front wheels still doesn't seem like a good idea. Of course, I'd like to see the BTCC in GT5, but, I'm disappointed with Honda, for keeping the FF configuration.


As for your ideas, about the Formula F/Star Mazda/Formula Vee, isn't that a better idea than their GT Academy idea? 💡 Most professional drivers get their start in karting/open wheel. Very few get their starts in full sized cars, let alone jumping straight into LMP cars... :scared:
 
None of them

GT (to me) has always been about driving and tuning every day cars. The few race cars available were always just 'fluff' (to me).

So, instead of focusing on any series, focus on a wider variety of every day cars -- in premium of course.
 
any one of 1992 - 1998 BTCC seasons.
But god please no one car from 92, three cars from 94 and 5 cars from 98 season like they do with Le Mans cars now.

New or old? Because the new iteration is a blasphemous whoring of the name "Trans-Am" by SCCA for nostalgia's sake.

Old for sure!
 
They should add Indycar, so we can enjoy Indycar racing without listening to ABC's terrible coverage.

If only they'd listened to this! Hell just give us RMs/TCs of those cars make them sound the way they should, give us a choice in liveries, balance the performance of those cars and we'll be happy!
