Gran Turismo FIA Online Championship World Final Preview: Glory Awaits

[DesertPenguin]

This is a grip track, 86 should be really good here in theory. The Alfa certainly is.

Exactly. But Toyota got rammed out of two positions. They should be in 3rd right now

 

[VulcanSpirit]

In and out come the frontrunners - it's looking good for Mercedes once again.

Solis is having a field day with this track and I’m loving it.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Here comes Lexus... and down the inside on Mediums!

Meanwhile, Alfa and Toyota are fighting for fourth!

 

[DesertPenguin]

Guys, Fraga and Solis aren't in the cars anymore lol

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Lexus pits. Now let's see what Merc can do on Mediums...

… and there we are! Merc dives back into the lead with five laps left!

The new onboard side camera is awesome so real

 

[VulcanSpirit]

And further down the field, Porsche's day goes from bad to worse...

Welcome to Project Cars' "Look to apex" feature

Good job by ANT in the Mercedes, solid consistency!

Lopez in the BMW up the inside!

OMG!

I hope they keep up this quality..

What happened with Stagger?

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Lexus is falling like a fly; that penalty for touching the Corkscrew astroturf will not help them.

 

[Veinz]

The hards are just way too slow, the difference of grip between the hards and mediums is greater than the difference between the softs and super softs.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Gotta see the replay on that. Someone definitely pushed the Alfa wide out of the final turn.

Edit: Damnit, Alfa was doing so well!! Just had to let off slightly and keep turning in but they went too wide

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Alfa loses out big time there!

Toyota pressuring Mercedes with one lap to go!

 

[DesertPenguin]

Grid order on screen shows Alfa got by the Lexus, and BMW has a penalty. Alfa could be in for a podium maybe!!

Anobody else noticed that the GT4 cars have finally some nice stickers on the tires 👍

New wide onboardcam is fantastic

 

[DesertPenguin]

BMW seriously should not be there. Just poor driving standards in general

 

[VulcanSpirit]

WHAT A FINISH!

 

[Lefty2215]

That was honestly some of the most exciting racing I’ve seen. Some interesting moves but hard fought battles all around. Looking forward to the rest!

You mean Porsche?

 

[DesertPenguin]

I just feel really bad for Alfa/Solis lol

Curious about that Merc vgt on display, is it actually functional or is it like concepts you see at auto shows?

 

[Racer93]

That was so close for Toyota, only 0.062 seconds behind Mercedes-Benz. The race was very entertaining!

 

[Veinz]

Toyota is going to get murdered here.

edit: NVM thought it was gr4 for some reason

Could be real. A real one was made and used in the Batman V Superman movie

 

[DesertPenguin]

I don't like that the big finale is at a Tokyo track of all places. Bad things can happen here way to easily

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Grand Final is GO!

 

[Veinz]

The alfa is pretty much the weakest car on this track.

 

[TrafficEmpire]

I’d like to see one of the teams try a crazy three-pit strategy here, or at least a 5 hard/5 medium/10 soft strategy.
