If I Made a Racing Game...

These are my special unlockable cars. This is an impressive list, according to me. No, these are not DLC; just cars that you get if you do specific things, get to a certain statistic, win against it (in the case of the Moynet LM75) or, in the case of the Ford Focus RS WRC, modify the car until it becomes that car.

And this is my beginner tier:

Not too shabby, eh?

Now, a help wanted ad. Here's my Tier 1 division 1, which are all hatchbacks:

My tier 1, Division 3:

my Tier 2, Division 1, which are all supercars:

and my tier 3, Division 1, which are Le Mans Prototypes past and present:

I need help in the job of balancing the rating to the price. It's going to be tougher work for Tier 3, Div 1, which is why I need more facts and opinions.

You can view and modify !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but I recommend just putting down notes if ever you peruse the document.

Also, I wanna know your opinion about my choice of cars. Is it better a selection than most other racing games?

How are you determining the rating? Seems like you're making it tough on yourself going all the way up to 2500.. Most rating systems I've seen are 0-1000 which might make it less complicated. Good looking group of cars. What criteria did you use to determine tiers and groupigs?

From the first tier, the red text are all rally cars and have events just for them (like Long Jump), while the blue text are non-rally, and their events fall on circuits. The second pic separated JDM from Europe and USDM, and while there are Group B and WRC cars present, they're not classed in the first tier, mostly because the Mini Rally car is a big car and the Xsara's a sedan, and so do the Audi quattro and Ford RS200. It was damn hell harder to sift the third pic. The fourth one's easy: New ones and old ones have separate series. I might be able to elaborate the mechanics for the game tomorrow.

Frankly, I just base the rating on just the clout of the car in the real field. Take the Audi R18 e-tron, for example. I assigned that number just so it can be established as the top-most car, and yet one can take the Porsche 919 and still fight toe-to-toe with the Audi. And since I've got some really powerful cars, 1000 is not enough (my most powerful car's base Rating hit the 3k mark).

Wow that's pretty intricate. So is this actually a game? Or just a 'what if'?

It's something I'd pitch over at EA, as they're the only ones having the Porsche license. But in general, just a "what if", just a title I made and still play while lucid dreaming.
