Dear Turn 10 Studio and Playground Games,
I am reaching out to you with the hope of gaining some insights regarding a matter that has piqued my curiosity for some time. The history of the Italian automotive industry is rich and illustrious, with iconic brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and many others that have made significant contributions to the world of sports and luxury cars. However, I have noticed that these Italian automobiles often seem to be excluded from major racing games.
I would like to understand if there are specific licensing reasons or if there is a particular rationale behind the absence or underrepresentation of Italian cars in world-renowned racing games, despite their fame and prestige. It is possible that these cars may be less well-known outside of Italy, but this seems at odds with their real-world presence.
I would appreciate it if you could provide further details on this situation or guide me to the right resources or individuals for a more in-depth understanding. The inclusion of Italian cars in racing games would not only bring joy to car enthusiasts but could also help promote and celebrate Italy’s automotive heritage.
I thank you in advance for your attention to this request and remain available for further information or discussions on this matter.
I am providing a list of cars that, in my opinion, should be included through DLC:
- Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo America '1987
- Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6 '1988
- Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM '1993
