Dude other guys would just split it into a year long worth of video for once a month upload. You're legend. I can just imagine how long it took to research all of this.

Imagine gran turismo 7 gets some of these cars back

I've watched only some of your video so far, but it looks like an excellent video overall Matt. It was worth the wait too. I think what I liked more about GT2's RMs over GT1s were how PD was able to give more variety to the sponsors to certain cars. Heck, they went back to some GT1 RMs and gave them a complete revamp like the R32 Skyline GT-R's, giving it not only a more accurate Calsonic livery, but other JTCC R32 paint schemes. The only annoyances I had with them was PD making some cars a RM when they could've been full-fledged race cars like the Nismo GT-R LM, Lister Storm, and Jaguar XJ220. The Nismo GT-R LM R33 was especially a shame since it was a race car in GT1.

Wow 1 hour video of racing modifications in Gran Turismo 2. ☺️

Ah the Vivio, just recently I did a video about those adorable rally cars when it competed in Petronas Rally of Malaysia 1994. Here's some interesting facts about those cars (if you're interested). Between 1993 to 1996, Subaru made their debut in APRC (Asia Pacific Rally Championship) and they came with a huge fleet of their rally cars. This includes Prodrive's Group A Imprezas and Subaru Motor Sports Group's Vivios. Most of those Vivios were driven by Japanese and foreign competitors, half of those competitors were woman drivers and co-drivers. They've been competing in APRC from 1993 to 1996.

This will be interesting like the Ford Taurus SHO or the Lister Storm

Can't thank you enough for maintaining the 4:3 aspect ratio of the PS1 footage

YES!! So many answers for my childhood questions!! Love your voice as always, keep up the good work xx

1:46 The aero also looks like the 1995 BTCC car.

That Nissan Skyline DR30 Racing Modification also resembles the Bluebird Turbos that ran in the Australian Group C Touring Car Championship in 1983 & 1984.

1 hour and a half of happiness

Alright! It took me a few days, but i'm watching it now~ You're welcome by the way! It saved you a lot of time i'm sure, though there still is a lot to talk about, and even more to find heh Holy, i never realised the Beat was based on the S800 RSC! lol Delta S4 in GT2 seems to use the Stradale's specs for the dealership rather than the proper S4 Gr.B. Which makes it pretty baaad because it's way too heavy, and lacks power once bought. About the Lancer Evo IV RM. In GT1, the car most resembles the presentation car and the ST one. However, for GT2, the livery was altered a little, adding the green boxes on the door panels which make it closer to the WRC car again, so it's a balanced mix of the 2. MIcra Super Turbo also known as the Micra/March R. Fun fact is that the RM is the R, which is a phase 1 car, while the road model is the facelift one. Similar to how the Peugeot 306 does it. Random fact of the Impreza 22B RM: its spoiler is of the Impreza S201. Random fact about the Celica ZZT's, the Mechanical Sports variant's RM has a wider front bumper and has the road car's hood spoiler thingies still. The Venturi 400 one, it's defintialy licensed, down to the L'Argus logo on the left door, which is a french magazine and nowadays website. Who knows why PD picked it though. The end~

Bugalski's two wins in 1999 were also the only time that an F2 car won a WRC event. He and Xsara were a great match on tarmac. Also loving that dark colour scheme on the GT2 version.

Mr. MattJ155, you are a true legend, Sir. I thank you for your hard work you still putting on your videos. I'm sharing your channel with all of my friends whose love Granturismo series. (I'm not even English fluent, but I can understand everything you're saying)

Great video, this is my first time coming across your channel and I clicked this expecting a slide-show of in-game screenshots next to their real life counterparts but instead got a very detailed narrative of each of the presented cars' background, I hope your channel grows

Can't believe I missed this, really amazing work between you and submaniac93. Seems like PD really leaned on Super Taikyu and Japanese Rally for the majority of car liveries for Japanese Manufacturers, with a few BTCC and WRC ones in between.

10:04 I see what you did there 😂

Alright, I'm looking forward to this.

Thank you for putting in the time to make this video, love what you're doing on this channel

The among of effort you put into the background of each car is phenomenal.

Thanks so much for another amazing video Matt, can’t get enough of your Gran Turismo videos!

Crazy how I knew some of the cars but some of the lesser cars I didn't know about this video is greatly made.

Man thank you for making me go back to this game... Never knew that the Calsonic R31 was actually in the game. And there are some really nice liveries for other cars too.

I wish GT7 and Sport had actual GT300 cars and JGTC ones from the 90s and up. I love the way those cars look. Best example GT7 has of the GT300 class is the gr.3 BRZ

I keep commenting this on your vids but thank you so much for all the love you pour on this game. It is beyond amazing and GT2 deserves it; you rule, Matt!

Awesome video Matt 👏👏👏👏

Quality if these content are underatted

Would of been nice to have the Audi R8R instead of tt lm livery, but game graphics for open cockpit cars wasn't great at the time so its understandable that GT2 didn't have it

Best Video yet! I love it, Gran turismo 2 is truly a gem and a real Simulation Game.

Awesome video, few cars history are very interesting !

Another great video. Many thanks and can't wait for the live stream of the GT1 Version 1 Preview Build!

I know this video is a few years old now, but on the Nissan Primera BTCC car - one of my favourite bits of marketing bull (positive) is the advert Nissan put out in the UK after winning the 1998 BTCC. "Nissan would like to apologise to the sponsors of the racing Primera for the car's performance - sorry you couldn't see your logos, guys!"

It took me three days to watch the entire video. Excellent information.

The BMW 3-Series appears to be based on the 1996 BTCC FINA 320i. Edit: Don't know how I missed that you covered this one lol, sorry.

Wow, coming back to this channel years later and still glad to see you sticking around to what you've always been doing. Also nice intro. Always subbed, but subbed way before the bell thing was added. Let's dust that old thing off and give it a ring.

Thank you for the video GT2 is one of the best games ever made

Amazing how much effort must have gone into looking up all the drivers and results! If it weren't for some dodgy pronounciations it would be perfect, I know its nerdy to pick up on but the mentions of Sebring and Penske early on could make people click off. I'm still looking forward to another one of these vids for GT3 though, although I think the 'pre-internet' era that GT1&2 hail from is more interesting to see which car's fame made it all the way to Japan.

Next video, Gran Turismo 3 Racing Modifications in real li.......... oh wait no Race Mods in that game :(

The most awesome thing is that they managed to find out all these liverys in the 90s without the internet possibility to just google the racing car and make the livery. I would love to talk to them just to hear how they managed to get all the information and pictures from all thesse different manufacturers. Most of them maybe easy because of motorsport print media of the time, but the rare ones?

What a phenomenal video and production quality! Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Great job on putting together all of those vehicles with the descriptions, that must of taken a long time.

"A-cure-uh" "Indiana Motor Speedway" "I-M-S-A" Props to you for making this video, I grew up on GT2 and the race modification feature was my favorite part of the game, but my goodness some of those pronunciations hurt me deeply.

Great video dude

I used to watch your videos a LOOOONG time ago, mate. your "secret cars vids", mostly. I didn't even know you made commentaries.

WoW this was amazing to watch + the background infos 👌

Idk why the sponsors of racing modification like daishin, endless, etc were censored, but this is gran turismo baby!

We need NASCARS for Gran Turismo 7, since they put Ford Taurus for Gran Turismo 2 and to 6 and it needs NASCAR event for the next Gran Turismo 7 update.

Yay!now that's my birthday gift!

feeling 15 years younger. thx!^^

Amazing work Matt! Also: The entry at 1:00:15 blew my mind.

amazing work man!

The nostalgia is so crazy

You forgot to mention the participation of the 106 Maxi in the british rally championship. It was driven by Justin Dale, and achieved a quite nice list of good results.

7:03 I've got no proof, but I've long suspected - just from the car's appearance and livery scheme - that the team that entered the Camaro in the JGTC race bought the chassis from Hoyt Overbagh. It looks just like the cars he was running in IMSA at the time. Hoyt also fielded the yellow 1995 Daytona Camaro that the regular Z28 [R] scheme is based on in the Gran Turismo games.

loving this content

next up: real life cars with Gran Turismo (inspired too maybe?) liveries

I was about to start trying to correctyou about the 155 then you’ve put Tarquinis btcc car up a minute later 😂 this is what I love about your videos you never seem to get it wrong

I miss that TVR Speed 12 version and the Vector M12...

I played GT2 today (in 50hz, because europe), and I found genius cooling system for ps1, everything that we need is just 2 books.

Amazing work!

You've missed the one - RM of 98' Stagea Autech is based on BTCC Volvo 850 wagon.

is this just me that i have not noticed that matt forget to add lancer evo 6 rally car that based on tommi makkinen mitsubishi lancer evo 6 WRC model in 1999 that also make tommi won his 4th WRC driver title

20:53 That Escudo lmao

love your channel!

An hour and a half of ridiculous nerdiness that's hot😉

Some really interesting facts. I had Toca 2 back in the day and it seemed like all the cars on that were on this too! +1 sub! 👍

It's kinda sad that Merc in GT2 lacked in special racing models although having the AMG license. Just imagine if we had the 190e evo with the DTM livery as the racing mod. Also, there was Suzuki... with their main lineup being kei cars, yet 2 monsters were waiting for you in the special section

46:39 and all the other R32 on the bottom right made me a bit confused. The highter spoiler is seen on the 1994 JGTC R32 skyline. While the Bodywork is still the "normal" GTR style

Is it ok I want the mondeo back in gt7 with the livery editor we can make this livery our self's

still the best scenario game of all time! I IMAGINE A GT2 REMAKE! TONS OF SUCCESS

I think Alfa 155 was inspired more at the 155 nordauto superturismo (an italian competition) you can recognize the white rim. the DTM is another version of the 155 in game

Nissan Micra is known as Nissan March in Japan and Asia. Nissan Micra was never called Nissan March in North America.

I was hoping that you will bring the amemiya matsukiyo rx7 and you did, really nice to see that legendary rx and anyway so sad to loose raybrig from sponsoring motorsport again

copyright would likely have little to no influence on whether or not a car can be depicted in a game in the vast majority of cases (unless the car is Lightning McQueen or something); trademark is the part of the law which covers that and since a video game is not a competing product to an automobile then so long as there isn't some sort of direct implication that the game is actively affiliated with or endorsed by that car manufacturer (ie. calling the game 'Super Ultimate Scuderia Ferrari Racing' and slapping prancing horses all over the box art and the in game menus) there likely wouldn't be an issue with trademark

The Chaser the best modification imo.

Polyphony Digital could've just add more race cars with generic liveries to avoid copyright issues, here's the list: Citroen Xsara Rally Car '02 Peugeot 307 Rally Car '04 Holden Commodore SS Race Car '01 Saleen S7R Race Car '02 Ford Focus Rally Car '03 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203 Touring Car '04 Opel Vectra Touring Car '04 TVR T400R Race Car '04 Holden Monaro Race Car '04

Come to think of it the R8R is just an LMP variant of the TT i mean god they're similar

I didn't know Michael Madrigal was driving a Cusco Impreza

1:25:06 I was today years old when I learned that Targus put their name in GT2

Awesome but there still some others out there!

I love you’re GT content but the GTA 3 videos were really neat too, would you ever consider doing videos on beta content/builds etc for GTA Vice City ?

38:58 - 39:03 It seems the Zakspeed 891 has serious competition, this case was pretty similar only this time with the Pre-qualifying rounds in Formula One , the car failed (in the hands of Aguri Suzuki) to qualify a EVERY single race in 1989. His team-mate Bernd Schneider had a SLIIIIIGHTY different luck, reaching the feat of qualifying in the Brazilian and Japanese Grand Prix's but sadly didn't finished both. This was the last car made by Zakspeed in Formula One, it was a pretty regular team and only scored two points in her history in the category, the last car(891) used the Yamaha engines, remembered as one of the worst engines made in F1, known for their dysfunctional reliability.

24:27 My favorite car in GT2 ❤

the alfa romeo 155 race mod in game ressembles the 155 supertouring verison (year 1995 btcc and other st championships like u mentioned) much more than a dtm class one car imo

Also you've missed Honda INTEGRA TYPE R (DC2) '95, which RM took from Civic CR-X 1995 JTCC

Seeing all those BTCC inspired liveries makes me sad the S40 was never in GT2. Do like that they put the CLK and the Winnies Evo in their respective dealers in GT2 Plus though.

good vid just supported u

Just a correction on the TVR Speed 12 - you mentioned the version in GT2 never raced, but in fact the track images you used of the white one are in fact of it racing in the British GT Championship. So it never made it to Le Mans, as you correctly said, but it did still compete in a few races nonetheless.

nice!! thank you :)

What about the Renault Espace F1? As far I can find, it was created in 1994 and was pretty much a Espace minivan with a V10 Engine from Willians

I wish GT7 had something even close to this where you could turn road cars into looking like race cars with bodykits that were used in the legendary cars in the GT300 series and the JGTC series cars more subtle but still agressive. DTM and BTCC as well! I fucking love those the way all those cars look. The One Single example that made me shit my pants that fits what im talking about in GT7 is the Gr.3 BRZ. That looks exactly like a GT300 spec car as if it came straight from the track. The modern series of GT3 and GT4 class cars are cool but are all from Sport with nothing new. having a GT300 class, or others types, or even a decent amount of car mods would be way better than the lazy way 99% of the cars get "widebodies" appied. Also nearly every front, rear, and sideskirts is the same fucking thing. Im sure they just made a simple modelling algorithm so it would apply across all cars because it looks that way. Its took 6 years for GT 7 to come out and literally just took GT Sport which was a finished game, tacked a shitty UI together, a campaign with events that could and probly was slapped together in a week at most. (Its just picking a track, a ruleset, a payout, a BOOM, you have an event! So why is the single player lacking so many when there should be 200 fucking events. Giving us some incentive to drive all the damn cars nobody uses. NOPE, we will just give you the same tracks, same cars, and slap some lipstick on Sport and Market it in deceitful ways like its a Proper new Campaign focused GT game deserving of the number 7. It really makes me think PD just doesnt give a shit anymore and it shows. This game and GT3 is constantly ooze pure, unfiltered love for motorsport to its core with everything. You just knew right off the bat the developers knew what they were doing and were huge automotive nerds. Now with Sport and more so with GT7, I feel the opposite. Its seriously like Polyphony are all pretentious douchebags now acting like some arrogant assholes who own 100 million dollar car collections, and are above the "peasants". Like Royalty or some shit needing everything clean and sterile, etc) and the Game reflects that in the experience and feel when you play. its fucking sad, bro. Ths game meant alot to me and its sad to have waiting 6+ years to get a fucking GT Sport DLC called GT7.

58:40 pefect car

One thing, the Lancia you mentioned is the 037, not 038

I` love this game.. excelente video

18:44 of course it failed, it didn't have any ladder on the roof, the ladder gives any UNO a horsepower increase of *infinite*

u talked about bmw the car in the game is the e46 and on the picture its e36 its other generation of the BMW 3er series

This is monumental, thank you! 😍 Btw how the Cultus did NOT win overall? There was a rocketship in 1st maybe 😱

Are you ever going to do a GT3 all prize cars?
