So other than more Michelin logos all over the place what will this actually affect?

Tire physics.

Scott Clark, Executive Vice President of the Americas Region for Michelin Group, Responsible for the Company’s Global Automotive, Motorsports and Experiences Business Segments:
“This relationship is a perfect match, connecting the most successful virtual driving experience with the global leader for high-performance tires, Michelin leads the industry in tire simulation. Michelin develops and tunes virtual tires on virtual vehicles before the tires are even produced, with extremely accurate translation to real tires on real vehicles. Combining this technology with real motorsports data will enable Polyphony to bring more tire strategy into the game, and in the longer term, also to help more people understand the critical role that Michelin tires play in optimizing vehicle performance.”

Gran Turismo Series Producer, Kazunori Yamauchi:
“The FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships is founded on a technical base established through 25 years of automotive physics simulation within Gran Turismo, and the unique automotive culture that it has achieved over the years. Having Michelin, the world’s leading tire brand with its passion for motorsports and solid engineering knowledge coming on board as an official tire supplier of the championships and a technical partner of the game itself, helps us continue in our vision of bridging the gap between virtual and real racing, and highlights these events as the future of motorsports.”

[Beezer215]

Good, they need to do at least some type of tire model.
The physics in this game don't leave much to be desired. Hopefully that can change.

Ok.

 

[O604]

Love the contrast between Fraga and Hizal. One is polished. One screams "smooth operator" as he crosses the finish line.

Both awesome. Good race by all. Looked fun.

JPM: "You can tell by his awkwardness, he spends a lot of time in front of the screen."

Some players have to start watching real life post race interviews.

 

[Jordanm]

Juan Pablo with the SALT!!!

 

[dimassa19]

Congrats @TRL LIGHTNING and Super GT! "...Smoooooth Operatooooor..."

 

[ferreira]

So Montoya is still a complete arse

I hope they make him a regular fixture just for the drama.

 

[Shinu]

To be honest his answers were awkward and he looks like he lacks sleep (I'm no better so not judging) so it kinda goes into a stereotype category.

 

[Famine]

Was it just me or did Bibendum look like a cheap cosplay of Bibendum?

I thought our heroes always looked much taller on screen.

Yeah you are right. Since i arrived in america i couldn't sleep at all, having red eyes too and always being tired there but yeah my answers could have been better haha.

 

[Cerebral303]

And yet you still won! Montoya is just a sore loser. Being a Schumacher fan back in the day I have no love for him. Well done and good luck this weekend!
