Classic cars

Given that some people insist on including the list of classic cars in the game, I thought I would include a note here about why they should not be in the article.

While the article should include details of new and returning features, a full list of the classic cars is simply excessive. No other article for a racing video game contains a car list—you won't find one in any Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport or Colin McRae Rally article. As per WP:VGSCOPE, "Specific point values, achievements and trophies, time-limits, levels (including lists of stadia/sport venues), character moves, character weight classes, unlockable characters, vehicles, and so on are considered inappropriate". Thus they should be omitted. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 19:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And here is why they should be in the article:

Those WP:VGSCOPE guidelines were intended primarily for games, not simulators. A list of vehicles may be objectionable for games, but they are what a racing simulator is all about. Why is a list "excessive"? Current storage prices are under 5 cents per gigabyte, and those with a short attention span can always learn how to scroll.

The inclusion of classic race cars is a major feature, and should be mentioned, at least in summary. Something like "Several cars from the 1961-1965 1.5-liter era". (That's just a template. Unfortunately, I don't know what this simulator includes, without going to the revision history.)
