It was to do with licencing mate. Hence there are a lack of toyota branded cars in FM7 and FH4 at one point (until T10 managed to get the licence once again). Hopefully makes a return.
These days, Toyota is the team to beat in the World Endurance Championship, but 25 years ago, they were still finding their feet in European circuit racing. At the time, the top-class endurance racers were mandated to be road-legal, which resulted in small-series production of the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Porsche 911 GT1. While there are around 25 of both of those around, only two street-legal GT-Ones were made. The regulations also said there was to be luggage capacity for a small suitcase, which fit perfectly into the road car’s empty fuel tank… On the race track, the GT-One never really achieved the results its pace and drivers deserved. Taking pole at Le Mans in 1999, a tire failure robbed the Toyota of a chance to take victory from the leading BMW, but the prototype managed to come home second, winning in class. After that, Toyota canned their LMP program to focus on F1, only to return in 2012, and finally win the 24-hour race in 2018, and winning every race and WEC championship since then. We have most of the amazing GT1 cars in FH5, and the Toyota would be a great addition as possibly the fastest of them all.
Yeah but which one? The '98 race version, '99 race version or the road going version, or all 3?
Besides the poll is for other future (or current) Forza Titles. I personally would love to see this childhood favorite of mine be added to FH5, even if it’s only the road version.
Gosh email notifications are not working lol. I take it you missed the part where I asked what year model of the race version, the 99’ model, or 98’ model. IMHO, I think it might be the 99’ model, since it’s appeared before in Forza Motorsport.
