FIA Events '18 - World Finals Monaco Finished! Congrats to Team Lexus and Igor Fraga for Brazil!

[mclarenLB]

Wow they dropped the Monaco bomb so casually

 

[Loverson]

lol at the people banging on a realistic cockpit view when we play a game that commonly uses 14x+ accelerated tyre wear...

2 laps and tyres already dying out, seems good enough

They're showing the highlights of the races at least.

 

[Sander 001]

Why on Earth don't they stream these races? Is the GT Youtube channel too packed with a schedule?

Also, what happened to showing the gamertags? I have no idea who I'm watching and it's not very entertaining without context

 

[05XR8]

Wonder if those Raptor liveries, will make it into the game.

[Lee x sensai]

The Forbes information on point about final in manco. Can't wait what else to find out in the live stream.

 

[DesertPenguin]

A lot of camber changes? Just two, from the oval bank to the flat infield and then back to the oval...

 

[zzz_pt]

Good to see Igor on pole.

But on this track with weak boost, whoever is in first will have a hard time building a gap.

 

[Loverson]

Wow, of all the cars, they gave Z28 a Camaro SS....

 

[Sander 001]

Look how close Nico can take it without contact, he always does that too. The dude is so precise

 

[DesertPenguin]

They could at least show the screens that the drivers are looking at.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I think they're actually restarting the race...

 

[HERE4BEER3]

Sorry but what a cluster****. No block races, no repecharge, now a disconnect and race restart......goodnight.

 

[Lucas180]

Really enjoy these events, feels cool to see some of the names of top times I try to get close to. Cool direction gt sport is going

 

[zzz_pt]

Yeah, they will restart. It wouldn't make sense to have the race without any footage / stream. :/

Epic Fail but at least it didn't happen at Monaco. This will give PD a chance of getting everything straight and make sure something similar doesn't happen. Having more than 1 account managing the cameras/views during the race is an option. Fixing these bugs is another, better option. 1 year later and these random race kicks still happen.

 

[Matty28]

If PD would have fixed the random disconnects in say 2017 the spectator wouldn't be disconnecting from the lobby ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Sander 001]

From the bit we've seen, it so far looks like more professional racing than the other regions. People aren't trying to overtake every single corner, they're actually holding station and patiently waiting for gaps to develop like you're supposed to.

Actually, the highlights showed some very rough driving

Edit: That GT SEMA award, "very prestigious" lol it's just a basic steering wheel rim

We've only seen a few laps of 1 race though... Are you there watching live?

 

[Bryan Vorce]

Eddie Gomez is live for Behind The Scenes!!!

 

[JayOTT]

We're seeing the friendship between the last remnants of Flatout Threat unravel before our eyes...

The race winner with a divebomb that would've gotten you a 10 second penalty in Sport Mode

..Back in May maybe, the whole game is basically Wreckfest at this point...

Stewards NEED to tighten up, people are getting rewarded by divebombing at these live events ffs

Wrong call by whoever is making the decisions. It seems likes the pay-off is positive so expect more people risking a divebomb... 1 sec. lol

I don't care if it's on purpose or a genuine mistake. Nico was almost pushed off track by Portilla.

 

[Novalee]

Yes i agree, should have been atleast 5 second penalty .

 

[TRL_Importlife]

Sad to not be apart of tournament this year since 2015 things have changed a lot for me in a past 3 years.
Had to take a step back from putting so much time in to my racing might try and make come back in 2019

How are all my oG GT Academy dudes miss you all

 

[Sander 001]

This event is worth it alone for Nico Rubilar's facial expressions

 

[VincentVendetta]

Look how close Nico can take it without contact, he always does that too. The dude is so precise

This post didn't age well at age.

 

[Matty28]

I am convinced the stewards could watch a driver get up and kick over a competitors rig and they'd do absolutely nothing.

 

[zzz_pt]

Divebomb, almost putting an opponent (who was leading the race and dropped down to 4th) on the barrier/grass = 1 second.

Blocking on a straight, no danger, just dirty = 3.7 sec penalty.

 

[05XR8]

I loved that graphic of the Gr.4 Mustang build. It was two seconds, but I wish we'd get a lengthy video of PD making the fantasy race cars.
