2. ​Also to this, the 1999 Castrol NSX also has logos for Japanese rock band ​L'Arc~En~Ciel . 6. The C6 RMs have yellow color by default when they became separately purchasable cars in GT6. (I always wanted the Z06 RM to be a Gr.3 car, considering it was on Touring Car Battle in GT6's quick matches.) 10. "[The 8C's] Luggage space is tight, but a fitted set of Schedoni calfskin bags makes the most of it." (Also there's the watch in BRZ GT300 and a Nokia phone in the TT WRX.) 15. This QR code was also in the R35 GT-R TC in GT5 and GT6, by the way. EDIT: Another idea would the power limiter requirement in GT6's NASCAR event. Used to simulate restrictor plates, they were used only in Daytona and Talladega, but in this game they also used it in Indianapolis and Motegi (which had an NASCAR exhibition race in 1998). They actually used restrictor plates outside of Daytona/Talladega at New Hampshire (designated as an intermediate oval by NASCAR) in September 2000, after deaths of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin Jr earlier that year.

You should try to pick up a used copy, its to bad you'll miss some dlc cars, but if you dont update the game you can use an editor and somewhat make your own cars( not edit looks but you can change all the performance aspects) it's really great. And the game shouldn't be to expensive to pick up it usually like 5 bucks in Europe.

Another interesting fact about the Saleen SR, Tim Allen himself actually was a guest driver for publicity for the team. Famously one time having a burnout (eleven'ses) contest with Jay Leno on his respective show, with Jay in his own custom tuned Buick GNX (IIRC), and Tim in the Saleen.

[@SockyNoob]

[@DavidThemanoy]

14:02 "Dan Gurney passed away in 2018." So did his car, the Cuda in the same year.

[@dhproductions4212]

A big reason why the Saleen SR had the Home Improvement logos on there was because Tim Allen himself worked with Steve Saleen back in the day, and had formed a new team called 'Saleen-Allen RRR Speedlabs. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saleen

yeah that type of fog would always form along the hillsides of lime rock park, it was actually very pretty. I think a lot of circuits in japan are the same since they're built in hilly wooded areas

[@RandomCarGuy17]

At it again with Easter Eggs, I see? Alright then, cool. I already know most of these, but it's fun to see them compiled together like this. Anyway, I have a few things to say about these easter eggs myself. Starting with the Saleen SR, I think another reason why Home Improvement was a sponsor on the car itself was because Tim Allen himself was involved with Saleen's racing team back in the late 90s. He even went racing himself in the SCCA World Challenge back then, which was of course in another racing class altogether. About Apricot Hill, I don't know why people would consider that an Easter Egg; it's clear that PD added the 'smoke' as an effect for the background. I mean, a lot of mountain ranges in the distance will be covered by clouds or just look foggy. So, it probably was done for a realistic effect. Another fun thing to note about GT5 is that there were other RMs that were roughly based on real-world race cars. I recall the 1969 Camaro Z/28 RM in GT5 & 6 being based on the 1969 Camaro Trans Am race car and the same being for the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T's RM. The only thing that annoyed about about the C6 Corvette RMs was that neither used any of the Corvette C6R liveries, which would've made more sense. In addition, I wished PD just plan on made a premium Corvette C5.R than just referencing it in a Racing Mod. I'm sorry to others, but I think that would've been a better use of PD's modelling effort.

[@kaedeschulz5422]

Pretty interesting! But that Carbon Hood alone doesn't save 100kg. Anyways.. What i find a lot more interesting is it's engine modifications and the fact that it revs so high and has so much power as an NA engine.

[@apexgt4]

For the first Easter egg. I’ve seen a forum in gt planet if I remember showing a pretty close comparison between the maps in game and in real life.

[@demioxdtouring]

The cover car if some versions of GT3 is actually a 996 911, turn the image upside down and you will see the iconic headlights! I assume its on the cover because Kaz has a 996 911 GT3.

A bit of further info on that Home Improvement sponsor. Steve Saleen and Tim Allen worked together to create the Saleen Allen RRR Speedlab race team which that livery is taken from. Saleen even made a one off Ford Windstar for Allen that he had supercharged and gave a widebody kit as well.

[@MisterKatz]

For me, the biggest easteregg or surprise was the city we see in the beginning of this video. Its my birthtown. It was very nice to see this in my favourite game

On the Main Map you can see Chicago... but it's turned right by 90 degrees. For example the machine test Icon is on the old meigs field airport.😉

[@ErkanMehmedali]

That Yakuza 3 poster really blew my mind. Seeing namco brand and other video game brands in GT was very interesting but seeing a literally different game title makes it more surprising.

There is a way to get the Ferrari Enzo as a standard car in Gran Turismo 5. You just need to transfer your GTPSP car collection and then you will see the Enzo as a standard car.

[@toby6418]

2:57 is definitely Chicago, Illinois. the rivers and the lagoon make me sure of it.

[@WoddCar]

2:58 it looks like Chicago tilted 90 degrees because you can see the canal flowing into Lake Michigan right next to a pier which I assume is navy pier

[@scottsen2128]

Almost 100% sure the map is Chicago as you can make out what used to be meigs field.

[@keefgtp]

You've probably been told this already but the main screen map from GT2 is Chicago, turned clockwise 90 degrees. In Chicago the shoreline runs north-south, not east-west. The two large peninsulas on the right side of the GT2 map are the modern water purification plant and the Navy Pier. The peninsula on the left side of the screen was at the time Meigs Field airport which was demolished in 2003 and replaced by...a swamp, which apparently is supposed to grow into a lovely nature preserve within a couple decades. GT2's map of Chicago must be pretty old or weirdly drawn because various shoreline elements are not true to life. The roads are also somewhat representative - the whispy white lines along the top of the menu represent freeways - but also seem like an artist's interpretation.

[@Drerps73ishh]

ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MAPS ON GT2 (the first easter egg on the vídeo) YES! IT IS TRUE. One day I was on the brasilian GT2 fan group on Facebook when someone shared a post of real places os the world (like google earth printscreens) comparing them with the background of the cities of GT2 (and even one for the main menu as well!) Its a Very old post, so, will be Very hard to find It

[@tonynasaofficial]

I just found your channel and it made my day! you made me look forward into life and not let challenges get in the way!

[@OfficialDJSoru]

The main map in GT2 is definitely Chicago, as I recognized Meigs Field under the Machine Test icon and text, and the river shape that you'd see taking off from the airfield back when it existed. How do I know this? Let's just say back in the 90's it's hard for someone to buy a joystick and NOT purchase Flight Simulator, and all entries from FS2000 back always started with the player piloting a Cessna landed in Meigs Field.

Just to add to the Home Improvement tidbit on the Saleen SR Widebody, the Founder of Saleen formed a race team with Tim Allen (same actor from Home Improvement) called Saleen Allen RRR Speedlab. So it's a no brainer why they have Home Improvement sponsors on their car.

7:10 I think namco appears because they have the license of twin ring motegi for their game called “R: Racing Evolution” this game has been out after GT4. Search that game it’s awesome in my opinion, everybody thinks that game has a relation with Ridge racer but it’s completely different, the gameplay and this game have licensed cars and circuits. And the replay mode is exciting in my opinion. I think R: Racing Evolution need a sequel or remake.

[@gewoontimm]

Good video.. but about the carbon hood of the AE86... it doesnt save 100 kg.. or the stock car will be very nose heavy 🤣🤣 it might save 15 to 20 kg.. depending on how its constructed and how much metal is used...

[@nathanstroud2223]

You know how some of the LMP1 cars from GT4 and GT Sport are available as either car from a two car team? I think Polyphony intended to do that with the Corvette C6.R in Gran Turismo 5. Notice how the ZR1 has yellow mirrors and the Z06 has black mirrors. This is one of the ways Corvette Racing used to differentiate their two cars. The two versions of the C6 RM/LM as well as the Gr.3 Corvette appear to be bootleg versions of the C6.R and C7.R respectively. My theory is that Pratt & Miller has a sort of veto power to prevent the cars they build from appearing in video games even if General Motors is willing to license them, that they only use this veto power against Polyphony because they were offended at how badly they butchered the sound of the C5-R, and that there was a grandfather clause that allowed the C5-R to keep appearing in GT5 and GT6 because the CAD model was so old. Whatever the issue is, they need to get it sorted out in time for GT7 so that we can get a genuine C6.R in the 2008 livery added to the game to rival the Gulf Aston Martin.
