[sidaorb]

So guessing with all the tie ins we might get a chance at some point to have our own car pack. So lets get the ball rolling. Choose 10 cars and 2 tracks that you would love to see............

1) Ford Escort Mk RS1800
2) Rover SD1 V8
3) Opel Manta 400
4) Mini Cooper (original)
5) Volvo 850 T5R ESTATE
6) Jaguar XJ6
7) Triumph TR8
8) Vauxhall Chevette HSR
9) Metro 6R4
10) Alfa 155

And tracks.

Brands Hatch (all 3 layouts)

Knockhill (2 layouts)

[FeatherZ]

Tracks : brands hatch gp and indy, donnington or oulton.

Cars need more thought but would be based around fast fords and vauxhalls.

Well if they left it up to Garlick it would mainly consist of old Mercs

Shouldn't laugh he bought one off of me

[tmk2]

Tracks: Spa and Milbrook for a laugh
Cars: Ford Capri Brooklands, Aston Martin AMR-1, Aston Martin AMR-ONE (not sure they can get one running long enough to collect the data needed)

[Chunkychucky]

Tracks: Oulton Park (all 3 layouts), Donington Park (with Melbourne Loop and without).


Cars:
1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback
Maserati Quattroporte
BMW 760i (F01 model)
Ginetta G40R
Lotus Cortina Mk 1
Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale
Caterham R500
Aerial Atom V8 or 300
Porsche 917K short tail
Ferrari 512S long tail(coda lunga)


Several of the cars on that list would come with the proviso that they sound as they do in real life - quite surprised by the 6 cylinder M5 and Impreza STI in the FM4 demo...

We need to get some cars that represent the 'British' car culture rather than stuffing it full of more foreign exotica.

I think it needs to feature the 'best of British', a couple of Hot hatches and one 'special' brutish car.

1. Aerial Atom V8
2. Caterham RS500
3. Noble M12-GTO
4. Radical SR3
5. Ultima GTR (with a 'standard' 5.7L V8 Chevy lump with the option to swap in the various LSx engines)
6. Peugeot 205 GTI
7. Renault 5 Turbo
8. Original Mini Cooper S
9. MK2 Ford Escort
10. Wasn't too sure? Needs to be something British and brutal, but not something modern that you'd immediately think of. An older Aston Martin supercharged Vantage?

Brands Hatch or donnington as a track, plus a fictional track based on some of the best B roads in the country.

It's interesting that you can probably guess peoples ages by the cars they are selecting, so many of you young whippersnappers that would probably never have had or will have the chance to drive a V8 SD1

[TomN1994]

9 Different TVR's and an MX5,

tracks, no idea.

The problem is that games seems to be completely unable to transfer any real sort of driving experience and excitement out of anything unless it has a shed load of power and/or weighs nothing. A dare say a SD1 V8 whilst being a cool car would seem a bit boring to drive once the novelty had worn off.

Carl would find a way to make it interesting everytime, Bugring springs to mind...

You ought to try some of my tunes, as Alex said Bugring F class, LB Fiat 500 E class, LB Audi A4 D class, Porsche 911 3.3 C class and Renault Clio V6 B class. Pick any of those and play follow my leader with a mate or a group around Fujimi Kaido and I don't think you'd stopping grinning.

Evo triangle-esque maybe?

Sidaorbs list is very similar to mine, i'd like to gartrac a mk3 escort rs1600i so i could have some rallycross fun. There needs to be more european cars like this, the yanks are sorted because they seem to get most of the muscle cars they want, even some pretty obscure ones.

ETA My dad had an SD1 3500 v8 auto in the early 90's, I only got to drive it around the drive though, it was threatened as my first car but rust (and insurance quotes) got to it first and it became a donor for a range rover
