There is already another game out there that does Formula cars better than GT Sport could probably hope too.

I did not ignore your answer to why there should be only GT or Touring cars.Its your opinion,I respect and also understand that.
Its Gran Turismo.
But either way,I get your point open wheelers do not belong to the game that is all about Touring or Gran Touring cars.
So a lot of cars that they are going to add or all ready are in the game do not belong in there:karts for example.Why is it in the game?
I would love to see this as a Premium GT Sport model
And it will be great for one make racing:
And with livery editor we would have full Formula 1 line-up anyway
They could even have two specs, one like this kinda based on the mid 00's and a modern looking version with hybrid powered engines
True, but the non 2017 car modes are limited, you can't make custom liveries and the online in F1 2017 is a total mess

For the same reason the other "slow" cars are there. It's an entry into motorsport.

@daan Since Gran Turismo has evolved to something far beyond your control since GT1 and GT2, you should go back and redesign your game. For crying out loud, you had 1200+ cars in the 6th iteration of your game and now you only have around 150, most of those are two time variants of the road car. Come on dude, you copped out! And then there is your lack of tracks, WTF DUDE!!!

Karts have more of a place in GT than Rally cars/stages do... if not for the mere fact that the Karting is enjoyable and somewhat based on reality..
Quite a few people enter Ginetta Jr from Karts? People don't generally enter straight into motorsport at Ginetta Jr level without any prior motorsport experience.
Don't really see Karts being an issue really.

I guess, thinking out loud, they could then combine it with the drifting stages...

If open wheel cars have no place in GTS because they are out of the Touring theme,then Karts or Rally do not either.Thats my point.
There are people (AM) that have zero kart experience yet they race in GT3 races -example-.Whats your point?
Again if an open wheel car does not belong in GTS because its Gran Tourismo then many other cars dont either because of the same reason (Kart-Rally-you name it).We agree or not?

I think this falls into the category of does it really matter whether Karts are in it....

Daan, your argument is irrational. By that same type of reasoning a teenager should always remain a teenager. And racing on tracks should never have been permitted. The ethos of GT has always been to include as many types of four wheel motorsport as possible. It has always been inclusive and not exclusive. Furthermore, how does it injure you if those cars are included? You don't have to drive them. Americans like NASCAR, which I don't understand, but should that be excluded because it wasn't in GT3? It fits by your definition coming from road cars but it wasn't in GT3 so it should be excluded. Please try to think about what you have said
You make a fair point (sorry I missed your comment at first). But for me Gran Turismo, the name isn't what defines the game. For me the essences of a GT game is being able to to race your actual car around Monza or what have you and being able to then tune and tweak your actual car into a proper racing car.
That said, GT has always included actual racing cars into the mix too, so it only makes sense for it to encompass as many kinds of disciplines as possible.
I think it's also unfair to say that if Formula car's can't have been that important as they didn't arrive until GT3 as GT3 was the first GT game on a PS2, a second generation 3D console. (The original 3D consoles breaking graphics ground over the previous 2D type consoles).

dialing this back a bit.
Why does it matter? Who cares if a Kart is it it?
is the fact a Kart is in it ruining your enjoyment of the game?

This seems to be your default response. The point stands that it doesn't really matter although i do admire your passion for such a trivial issue.

U all seem to forget that GT Sport is a game in the 1st place, no matter what it is called. And claiming some types of vehicles don't belong in the game, because the game is called Gran Turismo, is ******** too.
And I would love to see some openwheel racers, and ghaving races with them.

GT=Gran Turismo = Grand Touring
That's true of the name but if we're going to be pedantic, let's limit the game to only Grand Tourers (or cars branded as such).
You'd have no Karts or Rally cars to start with.
No hot hatchbacks (unless they're branded as a GT)
No mid engine supercars (apart from those branded as GT3 etc)
No LMP cars (they are prototypes, not strictly 'GT' cars)
No small sports cars (GT86 excluded due to its name) and so on
Even more extreme, if you only limit it to traditionally defined GT cars you'd only have a few big, front engine rear wheel drive cars to pick from!
GT has always been about racing lots of different cars around various circuits.
If it's got wheels, an engine and you can race it around a track, I don't see any reason not to have it in a GT game.
Forza has truck racing, I don't think open wheelers are as big a stretch as that for GT

No, my opinion isn't irrational.
It doesn't. I never stated it did. And I don't drive drive them (unless forced.)
I do not understand what you're saying here, as I didn't say that anything not in GT (the game) by GT3 (also the game) should be excluded.
However, GT2 had this.
No, my opinion isn't wrong.

I would love to throw you a rope since you're a fellow Scotsman... but you're opinion is contrary to what PD has been doing for years, which is one of the great things about the game.
So while everyone is entitled to their opinion, not every opinion is correct.
Best I can do, good luck.

It does, but Polyphony Digital clearly do not agree
