Excluding Quebec ? Seriously PD why excluding Quebec and Arizona ? Completely Ridiculous
Excluding Quebec ? Seriously PD why excluding Quebec and Arizona ? Completely Ridiculous
This comes up every time, and without fail, people blame the company hosting the competition/event/sweepstakes.
Blame the Quebec (and Arizona) government. Here's a good read on why.
Get your facts straight:

We’ve been in contact with our eSports federation for months. They’ve reached out to the organizers and nothing has happened.
If this new format really confirms to be accurate, well, it's the end of any chances of going to world tours for me, at least on Nations cup.
3 spots for the whole latin american region (have in mind that the last 2 Nations Cup winners are from here, so that's 2 spots sorted, we will all be fighting virtually for one single spot).
I don't know why PD changed to this system. It will restrict participation of live events to only the top top tier drivers. There won't be too much variation for the drivers featuring the lan events. This will, undoubtedly, make players to lose interest on this cup.
The great thing about the regionals was that it gave chances to some that aren't yet at the top level to have a go in live events. In the end, the top tier drivers would still prevail. Now, all the events will have 80-90% of the same drivers.
Let's see how manufacturers will work. Very weird that this isnt openly on the website yet tho.
I wonder if it has to do with any other laws then
and they're doing nothing to encourage players and teams to go fully professional (professional = income).
Cash prizes, or promoting the teams / allowing players to wear their own gear and show their sponsors, having 3rd party organized events... With the live events and the powerful livery editor, GT Sport really has a huge potential regarding sponsors visibility, but they don't use that, and teams are complaining about that. Mid-term or long-term, it might cost them a lot of top players.
Not exactly, no.40 races back to back with no interruption is just madness. You basically have to throw your life away until september if you want a chance to qualify
No, they use exactly the same formula.Are losing Driver points in one FIA Cup race, usually greater than losing points in one Daily race?
Not exactly, no.
After each stage of ten races you can qualify for the corresponding World Tour event. Stage 1 is the Nurburgring, Stage 2 is Hangar-7, Stage 3 is New York and Stage 4 is Tokyo. If you win your World Tour event, you've qualified. That only accounts for a maximum of four people, and we're likely talking the elite - if we don't see Fraga, Hizal and Latkovski taking three of those slots in addition to Rubilar from Paris, I'll be surprised.
The remaining 32 come from their accumulated points from their best 10 races across the whole 40-race season - which could be the first 10, the last 10 or dotted about, although almost certainly four of the 10 will be the superstars races in April, May, July and September - and in some cases a "Country Representative Final", whereby not just the top three in a nation go through automatically, but the three who win from a group of many more drivers at a separate contest.
Yes, they were working hard to make more countries eligible and yes, Italy has atleast been included into the Star player system.“Players may have noticed that some countries are not currently included in the list of participating territories. We are working diligently to solve some legal complications before the official qualifying stage launches in August.”
But, that important Final Season kicked off and many more important Final Seasons ended.Others, including Italy, are firmly in the crosshairs for resolution before the important “Final Season”.
Hope so. Going Toyota from here on.Can we change manufacturer ?

Why Quebec make sens ? To youQuebec makes sense. Arizona, though, I don’t understand.
The laws that Quebec has regarding contests are very strict and lengthy, probably more hoops than PD wants to jump through. I'm not aware of any reason that Arizona would be excluded.Why Quebec make sens ? To you
We have the same exactly law as Australian , 1/3 of Canadian are from Quebec and i just done my homework and it is now on PD side its discrimination and illegalThe laws that Quebec has regarding contests are very strict and lengthy, probably more hoops than PD wants to jump through. I'm not aware of any reason that Arizona would be excluded.
