This tool allows for cars to be divided into categories based on class, production, performance and horsepower. To achieve this, I have created a script that will automatically assign cars (based on Gran Turismo 7's algorithm) into each class.
A list of car categories is provided below:
Vehicles such as production cars, concept cars etc. Cars in this category are further classified according to their maximum power (based on PS, not BHP) much like in 'Gran Turismo: Sport':
- N100
- N200
- N300
- N400
- N500
- N600
- N700
- N800
- N900
- N1000
Purpose-built rally cars - Vehicles that have been modified for dirt and/or snow racing. Example Cars:
- Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 '85
- Ford Escort RS Cowsorth Group A Rally Car '98
- Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC Rally Car '17
- Lancia DELTA S4 Rally Car ‘85
- Toyota Yaris WRC Rally Car ‘17
Lower-spec racing cars - This is a custom category aimed at storing lower-spec racing cars and cup racers. Example Cars:
- Abarth 500 Assetto Corse '14
- Mazda MX5 Cup '16
- Volkswagen New Beetle Cup ‘00
Equivalent to the GT4 Category - Racing cars that have undergone basic remodelling, such as having additional safety features added or weight optimisation. Example Cars:
- Ford Mustang GT4.R '18
- Holden Commodore ZB Supercar ‘18
- Hyundai i30 N TCR '19
- Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport ‘16
- Volvo S40 Touring Car (BTCC) '99
Equivalent to the GT3 Category - Racing cars whose bodies have been fundamentally remodelled for greater aerodynamic performance and speed. Example Cars:
- Aston Martin AMR Vantage GTE '19
- Audi A4 DTM ‘04
- Honda NSX GT3 EVO - Endurance Model '19
- Nissan GT-R GT500 ‘99
- Subaru WRX STi Gr.3
Equivalent to the Class One Regulations - Silhouette racing cars that represent the peak of the touring car category, similar to those found in SUPER GT and recently in the DTM. Example Cars:
- AMG Mercedes CLK-LM ‘98
- Audi RS 5 Turbo DTM ‘19
- Honda HSV-010 GT GT500 '13
- Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 '16
- Toyota GT-One (TS020) ‘98
Purpose-built Prototypes - Endurance prototypes with bodies and engines specially developed to provide higher performance, as seen with WEC, Group C and DPi. Example Cars:
- Audi R18 e-tron quattro '14
- Cadillac DPi-V.R ‘18
- Honda HPD ARX-03c ‘13
- Mazda 787B '91
- Toyota GR010 Hybrid '21
Unclassified Vehicles - Extreme cars that don't fit into any of the other presented categories. Example Cars:
- Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car ‘22
- Gran Turismo Red Bull X2010
- Mazda LM55 "Vision Gran Turismo"
- NASCAR Ford Mustang GT ‘21
- Porsche 917 K '70
INSTALL
If you have instaled the previous version, please delete the .txt files named "Categories", "GT: Sport - Categories" and "GT: Sport - N-Class Divisions" otherwise it will not work.
To install, locate the folder "AcTools Content Manager" - I found mine here:
- C:/ Users / "username" / AppData / Local / AcTools Content Manager
CHANGING CATEGORIES
If you feel the need to alter any cars into a different category, this can be done by simply adding a new tag to each vehicle. Once changed, the car will then automatically be removed from its previous category. If a category has no eligible vehicles, it will not show in the list.
Example: To move a car into Group 1, insert the tag Gr.1. Move to Group 3 by adding Gr.3 etc.
Feel free to inform me so that I can add to this system and update it to include any cars that are either missing or placed in the wrong category.
GROUP N
The cars in Group N are allocated via the class "street". If a car does not have that class, either manually change it or add the tag Gr.N. The car will then automatically be placed into Group N and its respected N-Class division.
If you do not wanted to have the division categories showing, please delete the .txt file named "Gran Turismo - N-Class Divisions"
MISSING CARS
If any of your installed cars are missing from any of the categories listed, please add a tag to each missing vehicle, the same as changing categories.
Also feel free to inform me so that I can add to this system and update it to include any cars that are missing.
ENJOY
Thank you for taking the time, and please leave any feedback or report any problems so I can improve the system.
Cheers,
Stef
