At least two drivers using chase cam :eek:

I mean I used chase cam for 20 years but when I got a wheel, I could not do chase cam for all the whiskey in Ireland, I dunno how they can be so good with it!
 
LLoydz and Doodle nice job you too!!

@LLOYDZELITE69 and @Doodle ensuring the America's region maintains a small shred of credibility after that :lol:

What a climbdown from Madrid. Everything had last minute written all over it, the stewarding got even worse, the Promo was non existent and a lot of bad driving. Congrats to @Igor Fraga for schooling everyone though!

Madrid came after a 'quirky' Asia final so hopefully Monaco has the same rebound.
 
Great and clean races by @Igor Fraga and @Doodle .

I've always considered Igor to be the best in the Americas and on the top3 in the world, so I was happy to see him winning like he did. He could have won the 3 races too (like @TRL LIGHTNING ^^) but the restart had an impact on him for sure. He had close to a second gap to Nico when the stream went down.

The event looked a bit rushed, the venue didn't make for great looking camera angles (not as "viewer friendly" like in the EMEA finals) and we didn't watch the qualifying races. I hope Monaco to be at the same level, at least, as Madrid.

Also, it was odd to see a small interview with a driver from central america (B. Valverde)...and never watching him racing, because he didn't qualify for the final race. Stupid decision by PD ofc, not Valverde's fault PD decided to not stream all the races (so we have no idea how most of the drivers drove).

Just thought about this for Monaco, are they going host in venue right ? Or they going rebuild the track and host it there to get everyone watch it ? Since the street track layout already breakdown already.
 
As expected, Igor takes the win. Unexpectedly, Nico was totally off his game. He is usually just a bit below Igor in terms of skill. Quite a bit of dirty driving and most of it not penalised. All in all, very enjoyable but restarts like in the first race should never happen.
 
PD must come up with triple screen support for GTS or GT7. I was driving the other day, and decided to mimic the GTS cockpit FOV while driving real car. I closed my right eye, so the right side A pillar of the car was not in sight, and then moved my seat a bit forward so I could only see half of the left side mirror. What I clearly noticed, the sense of speed is much more less and harder to judge speed while driving and taking turns, especially right hand turn.

I hope PD come up with solution, 3 screen support, more adjustments for the current cockpit view, maybe new center cockpit view, and some adjustments for the bonnet view, which I consider as a bug for many cars in the game right now.

That’s not field of view. What you did was to turn off your depth perception by closing one eye, and then move the ”camera” forwards. To mimic a narrower field of view you need to reframe the view, like looking through a cardboard spyglass.

You can change the fov by adjusting the length of the tube.
 
They were the only ones able to actually have a proper hard and clean battle for position that lasted more than about 3 corners at the end of the Interlagos race :lol:. Was actually some of the best driving we've seen so far at any Live Event.
I think there's a Japanese player who did a dangerous blocking after serving a penalty on Asia Final ( gr1 fuji race ) and HK driver did a brake check on suzuka u turn at n500 race.

Asia Final was full of dirty moves
