Gran Turismo 2 - Racing Modifications in Real Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2021
- In this video, we'll take a look at the real-life racing cars that inspired the racing modifications in Gran Turismo. Yes that's right, a lot of the game's original creations aren't original after all. What Gran Turismo 2's game designers likely did was change the real-life cars to avoid having to pay to licence them, and then make them racing modifications for the standard cars, rather than having them as standalone prize cars or special models.

U r a legend, Sir.
Thankyou. Im more interested in Mitsubishis♥️👌🏼💯💪
Thank you so much for your efforts ❤️
I would like your comment, but it got 69 (nice) likes, so..
Thank you for all your effort
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.
@@MattJ155 i imagine the shit! i am not into this video but give a like anyway just for the great achievement lol
Imagine gran turismo 7 gets some of these cars back
Oh I hope so too.
And the race tracks!
I hope they bring back the Mirage Asti RX-R with racing modifications livery♥️♥️
I'd love if the SVX could be brought back in
@@4g63_Everything i still own all GT games except GT PS4 versions. Sadly those PS4 games are online only. 😭
Wow 1 hour video of racing modifications in Gran Turismo 2. ☺️
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.
Thanks - it's good to see you around again. :)
@@MattJ155 You're welcome! :)
but yeah, I haven't left. I just have been lurking.
This will be interesting like the Ford Taurus SHO or the Lister Storm
That Nissan Skyline DR30 Racing Modification also resembles the Bluebird Turbos that ran in the Australian Group C Touring Car Championship in 1983 & 1984.
And datsun 240z racing modifications looks like french flag, idk why
@@ademuhamadrizky7215 yeah I found that weird...
Interesting!
@@MattJ155 it kinda sucks a lot of the Aussie racing stuff isn’t on RUclips...
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.
Thanks for the extra info!
1:46 The aero also looks like the 1995 BTCC car.
YES!! So many answers for my childhood questions!! Love your voice as always, keep up the good work xx
Thanks!
1 hour and a half of happiness
Thanks so much for another amazing video Matt, can’t get enough of your Gran Turismo videos!
Thanks so much!
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.
The among of effort you put into the background of each car is phenomenal.
Another great video. Many thanks and can't wait for the live stream of the GT1 Version 1 Preview Build!
Awesome video Matt 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for putting in the time to make this video, love what you're doing on this channel
Thanks a lot!
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
Thanks so much for checking out my channel!
What a phenomenal video and production quality! Thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Thanks Alex!
It took me three days to watch the entire video. Excellent information.
Awesome video, few cars history are very interesting !
Great video dude
amazing work man!
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.
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)
Thank you so much for your awesome comment!
Amazing work!
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!
Feel free to keep commenting it haha. Thanks so much!
WoW this was amazing to watch + the background infos 👌
Thanks!
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~
Always love reading your extra bits of info!
I always thought that the S4 (only in dealership, i don't know why) had Stradale specs, now i'm sure, thank you!
Crazy how I knew some of the cars but some of the lesser cars I didn't know about this video is greatly made.
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.
loving this content
love your channel!
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.
Alright, I'm looking forward to this.
Amazing work Matt!
Also: The entry at 1:00:15 blew my mind.
Great job on putting together all of those vehicles with the descriptions, that must of taken a long time.
Thanks - and yes, it did. :)
feeling 15 years younger. thx!^^
Quality if these content are underatted
nice!! thank you :)
Yay!now that's my birthday gift!
I used to watch your videos a LOOOONG time ago, mate. your "secret cars vids", mostly. I didn't even know you made commentaries.
Thank you for the video GT2 is one of the best games ever made
Can't thank you enough for maintaining the 4:3 aspect ratio of the PS1 footage
I cropped the image and did the math, and it's in 5:3 actually, or 15:9, almost widescreen.
10:04
I see what you did there 😂
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
Some really interesting facts. I had Toca 2 back in the day and it seemed like all the cars on that were on this too!
+1 sub! 👍
Thanks for subbing!
@@MattJ155 you're welcome! 👍
Best Video yet! I love it, Gran turismo 2 is truly a gem and a real Simulation Game.
Thanks!
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
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!"
I` love this game.. excelente video
Thanks!
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
The nostalgia is so crazy
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?
The BMW 3-Series appears to be based on the 1996 BTCC FINA 320i.
Edit: Don't know how I missed that you covered this one lol, sorry.
An hour and a half of ridiculous nerdiness that's hot😉
Next video, Gran Turismo 3 Racing Modifications in real li.......... oh wait no Race Mods in that game :(
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.
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.
>The red stripes on a 500 Abarth were on essesse model, that was a 595cm³
>Obviously all you know that in GT2 is featured the FIAT 500R, the last version of Nuova 500, produced from '72 to '75 and powered by the 595cm³ of the succeeding 126 model
>As the name says, FIAT 500 was a 479-500cm³ at FIAT specs from 1957 to 1972 (the engine was updated many times during production) , and during theese years the factory of Karl "Carlo" Abarth did big moneys with its tuning kits and already tuned cars
Idk why the sponsors of racing modification like daishin, endless, etc were censored, but this is gran turismo baby!
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.
"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.
Your pronunciation of Acura is wrong
*2 Years Later*
The 50th consecutive race victory for the Hako Suka Nissans never occurred, because on that 50th race (1972 Fuji Masters 250), Mazda showed up with the RX-3 Savanna with the sole intent of spoiling Nissan’s party, and won that race.
I didn't know, thank you.
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.
You've missed the one - RM of 98' Stagea Autech is based on BTCC Volvo 850 wagon.
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
I miss that TVR Speed 12 version and the Vector M12...
next up: real life cars with Gran Turismo (inspired too maybe?) liveries
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: ruclips.net/video/KtJJvwZAbTA/видео.html
@@MattJ155 i see,matt. no problem
good vid just supported u
Thanks so much!
@@MattJ155 no prob bro be sure to support me back
Awesome but there still some others out there!
I played GT2 today (in 50hz, because europe), and I found genius cooling system for ps1, everything that we need is just 2 books.
Homemade heat sink
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
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 ?
still the best scenario game of all time! I IMAGINE A GT2 REMAKE! TONS OF SUCCESS
I didn't know Michael Madrigal was driving a Cusco Impreza
Nissan Micra is known as Nissan March in Japan and Asia. Nissan Micra was never called Nissan March in North America.
1:25:06 I was today years old when I learned that Targus put their name in GT2
Sorry to ruin it, but it's L'Argus, a french magazine x)
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Argus
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
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
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
20:53 That Escudo lmao
24:27 My favorite car in GT2 ❤
Miss those race mods.... Shame since GT6 no more racing modded cars. 😭
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
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
Come to think of it the R8R is just an LMP variant of the TT i mean god they're similar
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.
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.
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.
The Chaser the best modification imo.
Also you've missed Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC2) '95, which RM took from Civic CR-X 1995 JTCC
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. :)
What about the Renault Espace F1?
As far I can find, it was created in 1994 and was pretty much a Espace minivan with a V10 Engine from Willians
It’s not a racing modification.
Are you ever going to do a GT3 all prize cars?
It's a shame we don't see the amount of production and touring car, race cars in other games.
Licencing
Is it ok I want the mondeo back in gt7 with the livery editor we can make this livery our self's
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.
Using the BRZ isn't exactly a good example. The Gr.3 BRZ is the actual R&D SPORT BRZ that won the 2021 Super GT season within the GT300 class.
gran turismo is an italian tourist's grandmother, why didn't they pick a game title that had more to do with cars
