X2019 then!

X2019 then!

It arguably should be, yes, but it's definitely listed as the X2014 Competition ingame

 

[JamboGT]

That's cool, look forward to trying it.

The aforementioned X2014 Competition:

What's the main difference between the Standard and Competition variants, asides from the Nations Cup liveries?

I drove it once and it was in Salzburg where I had absolutely 0 experience on the wheel, but from what I felt, it has signifcantly more downforce and it's way slower than the normal 2014. Much more enjoyable to drive.

I don't know how similar it is to the BOP'd car from last year's regionals, but that thing was... well, it wasn't my favourite GT steer ever.

Feels weird not being there after attending the last two events. Looks like everyone's having a good time though — Paris is a beaut! 👍

Why there is no gearbox protection yet

 

[Pigems]

Quite a crowd is gathering here at the venue, all of the media has arrived and the competitors are prepping for the rally repechage race.

There is no shifters? Do you guys only use race cars all weekend?

 

[05XR8]

Really hope for a question or wish list regarding Arcade mode. If it is possible for an update (for example multi class) and for better AI, more competitive one .

I second this.

Even though the Brooklyn Formula E race takes place in July, was thinking it may debut at the NY event.

 

[Jordan]

Paddle shifting only.

 

[Pigems]

Paddle shifting only.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that, have they always been that way?

 

[Jordan]

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that, have they always been that way?

Yep, they have never offered separate shifters at any event.

 

[Pigems]

Cool, thanks again for the info.

 

[LamarLHardy]

Cool, thanks again for the info.

I was disconnected yesterday, I hope that didn't effect your race?
Did I miss the race today?

 

[Tou2istTrophy]

Why is this becoming a feature request thread? Im coming here for discussion about the event and Im just seeing everyone's personal wishlist...

It’s the only way to contact PD.

Naw it was all good, what race was today?

 

[GBalao888]

I wonder if there are any new cars and tracks from the event that may be shared with us...

Interesting to read that the regions will once again be split.
It's great to hear that they are spending money and adding infrastucture to setup additional servers more locally to hopefully enhance players online experiences.

I don't know the numbers, but I assume the FIA events have a reasonably strong player participation when compared to the regular daily races.
And as long as the server split is only related to the FIA events, then I guess it's a good thing.

I sincerely hope that this is as far as it goes though.
Oceania simply doesn't have the player base to allow for consistent lobbies in Daily races without including the Asia region as a whole.

Nothing's changing, Daily Races for the Americas and Asia + Oceania were reintroduced a little while back due to the lack of players in them, but the FIA races gather enough people to continue to split, so that's what the case has been for all of us outside of Europe. I don't expect them to change much more on that end.

Oh, I see.

I'm a little confused then after reading this ...
"The biggest single change to proceedings is that Polyphony Digital has once again split the regions up. Rather than the three regions of 2018, the new event will see competitors in five regions qualifying for the finals events."

This is just to compare between last year's series where it was 3 regions instead of 5 (as it has currently been in the offseason). This has nothing to do with the Daily Races.

Okay.
Thanks. 👍

Apparently there are new cars coming into the game, other than the SF 19:

Maybe the X2014 Competition? Or maybe something else?

Look at his twitter pic. multi-colored SF19s?

 

[stpatty]

This is the first I've checked this thread for a few days, absolutely delighted with a rally race. It's going to be a disaster.

 

[JayOTT]

Apparently NicoR for BMW took pole in the first qualifying session:

However this doesn't mean much yet as there's still the top six shootout to come.

We just wrapped up a visit to the FIA HQ here in Paris — they are definitely interested in virtual Motorsport, the future is bright!

Up next, Kazunori interview.

 

[Pigems]

Are there certain things you’re not allowed to ask in the interview? Like questions about daily races? Why is it that in all of the interviews with Kaz, that no one has asked a single question about the repeat dailies all the time? It’s one small question that a lot of people would like an answer to, why will no one ask it?
