This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:
This article was published by Kyle Patrick (@SlipZtrEm) on May 11th, 2017 in the Gran Turismo Sport category.
These drivers will be racing amongst the rest of the existing beta testers to achieve their best possible Driver and Sportsmanship Ratings. The top ten drivers in both categories will be scored, and the combined total will be used for rankings.
Kunos went one step further and had the media drive both virtual and real cars, in a media event held at their home track of Vallelunga. SMS had a similar media day at Brands Hatch. PD didn't invent the wheel here.Yeah... this is just so boring and glorified and typical... because every other sim developer is also holding a custom tournament for top media reps... <----(Sarcasm)

Luck! Is it the same format as the existing beta? Are you just participating in the same races? Or a special section of the game only those participating in the cup can see?I'm on top of the ranking boards now with plans to take part as much as I can on Saturday.
Wish me luck, guys. 👍

We were told more races, starting yesterday. I don't see them yet. Times seemed set to EU, guessing we may still see races for this on the weekend.Luck! Is it the same format as the existing beta?

Or maybe they did invent the wheel with racing sims... I dunno... GT1 on PS1?

Good luck dude! Make sure you tell us all about it.
An explanation...Still no idea what this is all about???
You inferred whether other developers were doing something similar. They have. So now the goalposts move to how many? GTAcademy is a Nissan sponsored event, and the drivers are ultimately trained by Nissan. GT is simply the platform to get into the training program. Any decent sim would have worked just as well at sorting the drivers. If you know sim racing at all, you'll note that most or all of the top sim pilots I'm aware of, play multiple games and often on multiple platforms.So this has happened how many times, on two or three other occasions? And PD has opened the doors to careers in motorsports to how many GT gamers through GT Academy? They didn't invent the wheel, but these exclusive media contests don't just happen every day. This is exciting - could be signs of an annual media tournament - or signs of other PD/FIA sponsored tournaments in GT Sport.

I hope this doesn't put a bullseye on your bumper for all haters and rammers to target. Good luck guys.

Really? You probably need to look at your racing game history a little closer. GT1 wasn't even the first sim on PS1.
And before that we had these two.
Plenty others before that as well. The world of racing games does not begin and end at GT.
I think it's cool that PD have this event running for the media. Would have preferred it if we could have all been involved. However, lets not make this out to be some fantastic extra special thing that PD have done because it's not.
Yes they are running in open lobbies but nobody is counting your pointsIsn't this Media Cup open for everyone?
I think I lost it somewhere..
