Dude other guys would just split it into a year long worth of video for once a month upload. You're legend. I can just imagine how long it took to research all of this.
I don't even want to think about how long it took me to do all this, haha. By the end of the editing process, my editing software was struggling to cope with the number of clips I'd used in the project.
I've watched only some of your video so far, but it looks like an excellent video overall Matt. It was worth the wait too. I think what I liked more about GT2's RMs over GT1s were how PD was able to give more variety to the sponsors to certain cars. Heck, they went back to some GT1 RMs and gave them a complete revamp like the R32 Skyline GT-R's, giving it not only a more accurate Calsonic livery, but other JTCC R32 paint schemes. The only annoyances I had with them was PD making some cars a RM when they could've been full-fledged race cars like the Nismo GT-R LM, Lister Storm, and Jaguar XJ220. The Nismo GT-R LM R33 was especially a shame since it was a race car in GT1.
Ah the Vivio, just recently I did a video about those adorable rally cars when it competed in Petronas Rally of Malaysia 1994. Here's some interesting facts about those cars (if you're interested). Between 1993 to 1996, Subaru made their debut in APRC (Asia Pacific Rally Championship) and they came with a huge fleet of their rally cars. This includes Prodrive's Group A Imprezas and Subaru Motor Sports Group's Vivios. Most of those Vivios were driven by Japanese and foreign competitors, half of those competitors were woman drivers and co-drivers. They've been competing in APRC from 1993 to 1996.
That Nissan Skyline DR30 Racing Modification also resembles the Bluebird Turbos that ran in the Australian Group C Touring Car Championship in 1983 & 1984.
Bugalski's two wins in 1999 were also the only time that an F2 car won a WRC event. He and Xsara were a great match on tarmac. Also loving that dark colour scheme on the GT2 version.
Great video, this is my first time coming across your channel and I clicked this expecting a slide-show of in-game screenshots next to their real life counterparts but instead got a very detailed narrative of each of the presented cars' background, I hope your channel grows
Mr. MattJ155, you are a true legend, Sir. I thank you for your hard work you still putting on your videos. I'm sharing your channel with all of my friends whose love Granturismo series. (I'm not even English fluent, but I can understand everything you're saying)
Alright! It took me a few days, but i'm watching it now~ You're welcome by the way! It saved you a lot of time i'm sure, though there still is a lot to talk about, and even more to find heh Holy, i never realised the Beat was based on the S800 RSC! lol Delta S4 in GT2 seems to use the Stradale's specs for the dealership rather than the proper S4 Gr.B. Which makes it pretty baaad because it's way too heavy, and lacks power once bought. About the Lancer Evo IV RM. In GT1, the car most resembles the presentation car and the ST one. However, for GT2, the livery was altered a little, adding the green boxes on the door panels which make it closer to the WRC car again, so it's a balanced mix of the 2. MIcra Super Turbo also known as the Micra/March R. Fun fact is that the RM is the R, which is a phase 1 car, while the road model is the facelift one. Similar to how the Peugeot 306 does it. Random fact of the Impreza 22B RM: its spoiler is of the Impreza S201. Random fact about the Celica ZZT's, the Mechanical Sports variant's RM has a wider front bumper and has the road car's hood spoiler thingies still. The Venturi 400 one, it's defintialy licensed, down to the L'Argus logo on the left door, which is a french magazine and nowadays website. Who knows why PD picked it though. The end~
Can't believe I missed this, really amazing work between you and submaniac93. Seems like PD really leaned on Super Taikyu and Japanese Rally for the majority of car liveries for Japanese Manufacturers, with a few BTCC and WRC ones in between.
Man thank you for making me go back to this game... Never knew that the Calsonic R31 was actually in the game. And there are some really nice liveries for other cars too.
I keep commenting this on your vids but thank you so much for all the love you pour on this game. It is beyond amazing and GT2 deserves it; you rule, Matt!
"A-cure-uh" "Indiana Motor Speedway" "I-M-S-A" Props to you for making this video, I grew up on GT2 and the race modification feature was my favorite part of the game, but my goodness some of those pronunciations hurt me deeply.
I wish GT7 and Sport had actual GT300 cars and JGTC ones from the 90s and up. I love the way those cars look. Best example GT7 has of the GT300 class is the gr.3 BRZ
Wow, coming back to this channel years later and still glad to see you sticking around to what you've always been doing. Also nice intro. Always subbed, but subbed way before the bell thing was added. Let's dust that old thing off and give it a ring.
Would of been nice to have the Audi R8R instead of tt lm livery, but game graphics for open cockpit cars wasn't great at the time so its understandable that GT2 didn't have it
The most awesome thing is that they managed to find out all these liverys in the 90s without the internet possibility to just google the racing car and make the livery. I would love to talk to them just to hear how they managed to get all the information and pictures from all thesse different manufacturers. Most of them maybe easy because of motorsport print media of the time, but the rare ones?
Amazing how much effort must have gone into looking up all the drivers and results! If it weren't for some dodgy pronounciations it would be perfect, I know its nerdy to pick up on but the mentions of Sebring and Penske early on could make people click off. I'm still looking forward to another one of these vids for GT3 though, although I think the 'pre-internet' era that GT1&2 hail from is more interesting to see which car's fame made it all the way to Japan.
We need NASCARS for Gran Turismo 7, since they put Ford Taurus for Gran Turismo 2 and to 6 and it needs NASCAR event for the next Gran Turismo 7 update.
You forgot to mention the participation of the 106 Maxi in the british rally championship. It was driven by Justin Dale, and achieved a quite nice list of good results.
I was about to start trying to correctyou about the 155 then you’ve put Tarquinis btcc car up a minute later 😂 this is what I love about your videos you never seem to get it wrong
I know this video is a few years old now, but on the Nissan Primera BTCC car - one of my favourite bits of marketing bull (positive) is the advert Nissan put out in the UK after winning the 1998 BTCC. "Nissan would like to apologise to the sponsors of the racing Primera for the car's performance - sorry you couldn't see your logos, guys!"
7:03 I've got no proof, but I've long suspected - just from the car's appearance and livery scheme - that the team that entered the Camaro in the JGTC race bought the chassis from Hoyt Overbagh. It looks just like the cars he was running in IMSA at the time. Hoyt also fielded the yellow 1995 Daytona Camaro that the regular Z28 [R] scheme is based on in the Gran Turismo games.
46:39 and all the other R32 on the bottom right made me a bit confused. The highter spoiler is seen on the 1994 JGTC R32 skyline. While the Bodywork is still the "normal" GTR style
The R32 witht he broken wheels is using the GT1-styled body, which just had a higher spoiler for no real reason other than it's more racing-like lol. All group A R32 had the normal sized spoiler, while the JGTC GT1 R32 models had a huge version of it
is this just me that i have not noticed that matt forget to add lancer evo 6 rally car that based on tommi makkinen mitsubishi lancer evo 6 WRC model in 1999 that also make tommi won his 4th WRC driver title
Yeah, I actually decided not to include any (I think) of the prize cars like the Lancer Evo 6. Partly because I wanted to get the video finished, and also because I've covered the prize cars in a separate video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KtJJvwZAbTA.html
I love you’re GT content but the GTA 3 videos were really neat too, would you ever consider doing videos on beta content/builds etc for GTA Vice City ?
Just a correction on the TVR Speed 12 - you mentioned the version in GT2 never raced, but in fact the track images you used of the white one are in fact of it racing in the British GT Championship. So it never made it to Le Mans, as you correctly said, but it did still compete in a few races nonetheless.
to add to this, There WAS a road car developed of this model there was the 7/12 Concept design then there was an actual road going design which 1 was done. When the road car was fully built and tested, the executives and designers/engineers when the car was tested it was deemed too unstable, too powerful and uncontrollable by even the most skilled driver when put full throttled. That is why that Speed 12 was cancelled and replaced with the tamer version Cerbera 12. the Race Version displayed was detuned to 700hp.
It's kinda sad that Merc in GT2 lacked in special racing models although having the AMG license. Just imagine if we had the 190e evo with the DTM livery as the racing mod. Also, there was Suzuki... with their main lineup being kei cars, yet 2 monsters were waiting for you in the special section
38:58 - 39:03 It seems the Zakspeed 891 has serious competition, this case was pretty similar only this time with the Pre-qualifying rounds in Formula One , the car failed (in the hands of Aguri Suzuki) to qualify a EVERY single race in 1989. His team-mate Bernd Schneider had a SLIIIIIGHTY different luck, reaching the feat of qualifying in the Brazilian and Japanese Grand Prix's but sadly didn't finished both. This was the last car made by Zakspeed in Formula One, it was a pretty regular team and only scored two points in her history in the category, the last car(891) used the Yamaha engines, remembered as one of the worst engines made in F1, known for their dysfunctional reliability.
copyright would likely have little to no influence on whether or not a car can be depicted in a game in the vast majority of cases (unless the car is Lightning McQueen or something); trademark is the part of the law which covers that and since a video game is not a competing product to an automobile then so long as there isn't some sort of direct implication that the game is actively affiliated with or endorsed by that car manufacturer (ie. calling the game 'Super Ultimate Scuderia Ferrari Racing' and slapping prancing horses all over the box art and the in game menus) there likely wouldn't be an issue with trademark
I was hoping that you will bring the amemiya matsukiyo rx7 and you did, really nice to see that legendary rx and anyway so sad to loose raybrig from sponsoring motorsport again
Hi! I've covered all the Gran Turismo 1 RMs in a separate video, so I didn't bother to mention the ones that were recycled for Gran Turismo 2 in this video. Feel free to check out the GT1 version of this video if you want to see them all. :)
I think Alfa 155 was inspired more at the 155 nordauto superturismo (an italian competition) you can recognize the white rim. the DTM is another version of the 155 in game
Seeing all those BTCC inspired liveries makes me sad the S40 was never in GT2. Do like that they put the CLK and the Winnies Evo in their respective dealers in GT2 Plus though.
Polyphony Digital could've just add more race cars with generic liveries to avoid copyright issues, here's the list: Citroen Xsara Rally Car '02 Peugeot 307 Rally Car '04 Holden Commodore SS Race Car '01 Saleen S7R Race Car '02 Ford Focus Rally Car '03 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203 Touring Car '04 Opel Vectra Touring Car '04 TVR T400R Race Car '04 Holden Monaro Race Car '04
the alfa romeo 155 race mod in game ressembles the 155 supertouring verison (year 1995 btcc and other st championships like u mentioned) much more than a dtm class one car imo
I wish GT7 had something even close to this where you could turn road cars into looking like race cars with bodykits that were used in the legendary cars in the GT300 series and the JGTC series cars more subtle but still agressive. DTM and BTCC as well! I fucking love those the way all those cars look. The One Single example that made me shit my pants that fits what im talking about in GT7 is the Gr.3 BRZ. That looks exactly like a GT300 spec car as if it came straight from the track. The modern series of GT3 and GT4 class cars are cool but are all from Sport with nothing new. having a GT300 class, or others types, or even a decent amount of car mods would be way better than the lazy way 99% of the cars get "widebodies" appied. Also nearly every front, rear, and sideskirts is the same fucking thing. Im sure they just made a simple modelling algorithm so it would apply across all cars because it looks that way. Its took 6 years for GT 7 to come out and literally just took GT Sport which was a finished game, tacked a shitty UI together, a campaign with events that could and probly was slapped together in a week at most. (Its just picking a track, a ruleset, a payout, a BOOM, you have an event! So why is the single player lacking so many when there should be 200 fucking events. Giving us some incentive to drive all the damn cars nobody uses. NOPE, we will just give you the same tracks, same cars, and slap some lipstick on Sport and Market it in deceitful ways like its a Proper new Campaign focused GT game deserving of the number 7. It really makes me think PD just doesnt give a shit anymore and it shows. This game and GT3 is constantly ooze pure, unfiltered love for motorsport to its core with everything. You just knew right off the bat the developers knew what they were doing and were huge automotive nerds. Now with Sport and more so with GT7, I feel the opposite. Its seriously like Polyphony are all pretentious douchebags now acting like some arrogant assholes who own 100 million dollar car collections, and are above the "peasants". Like Royalty or some shit needing everything clean and sterile, etc) and the Game reflects that in the experience and feel when you play. its fucking sad, bro. Ths game meant alot to me and its sad to have waiting 6+ years to get a fucking GT Sport DLC called GT7.
Matt, I'm trying to recreate the 1991 JZA70 orange racing modification livery from Gran Turismo's 1 and 2. Would you happen to know the sponsor decals? There's not a lot on it and if anyone might know, it's you.
Yes, I can help. :) I believe it was used by Toyota Team Tom's in the 1989 and 1990 seasons of the Japanese Touring Car Championship. Their main sponsor was Fujitsu-Ten. Good luck!
@@MattJ155 Awesome. That was the official livery I believe. However the one's used in GT differed slightly. On the sides of the front bumper instead of COCKPIT it had what I can make out to be TADCO but I can't find anything on them!
So after an epiphany on the toilet, I've realised the front bumper graphics just said Cockpit. Just backwards and pixelated. 😂😂😂 Cheers again for the reply Matt. 🙂
