I have a funeral to attend that day and I'm just not sure how everything is going to go. If you have a reserve available I'd sit out. If not, I'm tentative and won't really be able to let you know till like 4pst.
Hi mate - unfortunately I’m going to let the team down
Bummer Donovan. Was hoping we could catch some decent points this event for team efforts, especially being in striking distance of 2nd place. No worries sir, life calls.😉. Also, a heads up, see the Announcement post back a little bit in the thread from yesterday. Tomorrow's race may possibly be our last on the GTSport title....weighing some decisions for our move forward and onto GT7.Hi mate - unfortunately I’m going to let the team down
Had planned to race, but I’ve got to do stuff with my kid this weekend.
Hope you all have a great race, will watch the replay!
Cheers 🐬
Thank you to everyone who has replied regarding our transition phase to GT7. It appears that a good chunk of our core group of drivers have every intention of moving on to GT7 with no looking back at GTSport. As such, it seems there is no choice but to move forward and onto the GT7 title after this Friday's (2/25/22) Porsche Event #7 in some capacity. I was considering running our current seasons thru March on GTSport and then moving onto GT7 for April, but it's highly likely our numbers will be low to the point of it not being worth it. Therefore, see below.Series Announcement
We are now inside of 2 weeks before the launch of the highly anticipated GT7 title. As many of you are well aware, both of our current series are still active with 4 events to go in the Michelin series, and half of the Porsche Season (6 events counting this Friday's race event at Barcelona) left to go. This is where decisions have to be made for our next move and /or transition to the new title.
I have contemplated us staying on the GTSport title to the finish our current seasons, while in the meantime preparing and testing for new seasons to start on GT7. My concern, is that everyone (including myself) is likely to shelve GTSport in favor of spending time on GT7. I am open to transitioning from Sport to GT7 in the current season, especially now that it was announced that liveries have been transferred between titles. However, time will be needed to explore the different tuning options, and how BoP will be governed. Then, testing and time trialing, and possibly even an exhibition event will be necessary to verify that our achieved parity to this point has remained intact. Assuming all of this is checked out and confirmed to fit our current parameters, we could make the transition, most likely in April. This would allow the needed time to adjust/update any liveries as needed, and amend the thread details to reflect the GT7 parameters we come to.
Now, if they don't align, we need to decide among the following 3 options:
Option 1:
Finish out the current seasons of both series on the GTSport title, while preparing/testing/setting up new season threads/rules/parameters with an intention to start our new seasons on GT7 some time in July 2022.
Option 2:
We continue our current season from April to June using newly established parameters within GT7. This will include new livery, tuning, and BoP/PP regulations. Possible time trialing will be necessary
to re-align the parity across the field to be close to where we are at now.
Option 3:
We run through Events #9 of both series, and then terminate the current seasons at 3/4 completion. The schedule would look like this:
Feb 25th: Porsche Event #7
March 11th: MPCC Event #9
March 25th: Porsche Event #8
April 8th: Porsche Event #9 (in place of the MPCC event #10).
This would have both series at 3/4 complete with the season Points and Standings based on results up to 3/4 completeion. During this time, new threads/parameters/series to be established. The plan would then to start new seasons on GT7 mid April/early May.
I'd like to get everyones opinions and input on which way is preferred, and would ask that all drivers tagged on this post to reply with a 1,2, or 3 based on their option preference.
If the consensus is to remain on GTSport to finish the current seasons, we will do so.
The only 2 stipulations I will have is that we must get at least 12 drivers on the grid for race nights. Any less, and the night will be forfeited across the board. The other is that if we forfeit 2 consecutive events (within same series), the season will be closed and the points reflected at that time will be the final standings for the series.
Thanks for everyone's time and attention, and see you all this Friday at Barcelona.

Hey X, just an fyi, this time is much different than the last transition. The move to GTSport and PS4 required a new console and an all new wheel to be compatible (or investment into a drivehub style adapter). This is a very different situation, and one that will be much easier of a transition. GT7 can be purchased and played on PS4 for the $60.00 going rate, and the Logitech wheels remain compatible. If you decide later to upgrade to the PS5, Logitech remains compatible with that console as well, and you can upgrade the GT7 game for PS5 for $10. Don't miss out unnecessarily. Get your game, and stay in the action.Decisions, decisions. Like at the end of GT6 (remember that game?), I was not ready to jump to Sport. So I went to an up and coming new racing sim game (project something). I was not impressed after a few year( go figure). So, after fruitless time spent, I ended up here at GTS after all. I don't want to miss out like that again. BUT, I have not pulled the trigger yet for a PS5 or DD wheel and new racing sim game because as Nova says, "life calls". I have to plan for events that will cause an absents from gaming all together (retirement, moving, expenses). So for NOW I will have to continue with GTSport and Logitech. I want to race and will be ready for events here. Best wishes to the group at what ever way Nova decides. I hope to still see some on GTS tracks. It has been fun and challenging. Progress is a good thing (I think?).

I'm mostly in the same situation, haven't even sought out a PS5 and still enjoying my trusty logitech, but for now it probably makes the most sense to just grab a copy of GT7 for the PS4 and just do that. Eventually, I'll probably get a PS5 when they're available, and I've been thinking a lot the last two years about upgrading my 15 year old furniture clamp and Hitchcock chair rig.Decisions, decisions.
