The 4th entry in this series of GT2's forgotten race cars. Where I give some cars featured in GT's past some spotlight. I simply showcase them in the showroom before on the track and give context to their origins. Well, I try to anyway. Sometimes not the best. Anyway, I hope you can enjoy this video.

Notes:
- I re-uploaded this video to fix a mistake pointed out by other users for how to unlock the Nissan R390 GT1 (Pez2k, Ron Livingstone, and Dark Magician S62).
- Also, I wanted to go back and do some tweaks with some text boxes like with the Saxo F2 Kit car and the R390 itself. I also forgot to include music at the start of the video, which I meant to do the first time.
- As per usual, I kinda account for a lot of these cars not coming back due to Polyphony Digital focusing on newer stuff.
- With each new console generation, the polygonal counts went up along with the time taken to model these cars. So, PD most likely was being decisive on what cars they wanted to add due to their limitations. Especially going into the PS3 & PS4 games.
- There's good news on that end, modeling has become a bit easier on PD in recent years due to hiring more staff plus actually outsourcing to another company for help. You can kinda see this with GT Sport's DLC output in 2018 & 19. So, there's a higher likely hood some of these can come back.
- I mentioned it in the video, but I really don't like this idea of only focusing on the more successful race cars in racing classes. Mainly because I feel the less successful cars have their own interesting stories to tell and also if we're going to simulate racing grids, then we should have every machine that was in the race originally.
