Problem - BMW M3 GTR in "Race Car" category in Multiplayer

The BMW M3 GTR is in the "Race Car" category along with the BAC Mono, Ariel Atom, and Caterham R500 in Multiplayer.    It should be in the "Sports Car" category due to being unlocked by using sport...

Well the M3 GTR shares more things in common with Race. All the cars are meant to shred lap times,all have lightweight constructions, some sort of roll cage and short gearing. The R34 is more a touring/street machine. It's considerable heavier and it's more for dominating the streets while taking a few hits. Also it's AWD lets it play off road fairly well.

No, not really. The race cars are vastly different from any other cars in the game. Quick acceleration, tons of grip, tight handling, minimalist bodies, poor toughness, etc.

The M3 GTR is much like most of the sports cars; well rounded, jack of all trades sort of thing. Slower and tougher than the exotics, but faster and weaker than the muscle cars. It's closest to the 911 GT2, which, you guessed it, is a sports car.

Just compare the stats in-game. The M3 GTR sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to any of the race cars, but is very similar or even the same as many of the sports cars in various aspects.

    just want to mention that the M3 GTR is a real life race car, so why shouldn't it be in the race-car category?

      Are you seriously comparing this game to real life? Lots of cars in this game are "real life race cars". Tell me the last time you saw the Ariel, BAC, and/or Caterham in a "real life race". 😕mileylol:

        the M3 GTR has more in commen with the Ariel Atom V8, Caterham or BAC Mono than with all the other cars (even more than with the Pagani Zonda R which is a track car build for the streets while e.g. the M3 GTR  is only build for the race-track, but not for the streets)
