These images that show the players status in the top right corner have a value of 2000 next to an "M" shaped icon.
My only thought was Tokens, but it would be a new symbol if so.
Any other ideas?

To me it resembles the driving licence symbols seen in previous games.

Maybe the new drone view in the replay, comes from the drone "karma Gopro"
@queleuleu When I told you about the drone "Karma Gopro" !! There is a drone yes.. But I think it doesn't look like Karma Gopro..

Some of the car class groupings continue to baffle me from the trailer and screenshots.
- Mazda 6 should be Gr.4 or some TC spec instead of Gr.3
- RCZ should really be in Gr.4 rather than Gr.3. I can excuse the Gr.B version.
- Who's idea was it to put a Veyron in Gr.4?
- PD probably couldn't get the 911 GT3-R so they made a Gr.3 Beetle thinking nobody would notice the difference. #ClarksonJokes

The only limitation is the size of location now. We know it since Copper Box event.RCZ and R35 Gr. B cars look amazing!
Also so happy to see all the Photo-Mode settings, we can even make panning shots
Was 3 cars in Photo-Mode always known or is it new? From what I remember they always showed 1 or 2 cars in there.

Maybe a lot of people aren't familiar with how WoT works, but you don't have to buy anything. The game can be platinumed without spending a penny. And you don't miss anything if you don't spend money. You still get the 200-odd tanks, the 74 maps, all battle modes. The only thing paying money does is reduce the grind. The game is free and it's great. The support is fantastic. It's constantly updated and new (free) content is added every month. Where Wargaming.net makes its money is from the tank collectors buying premium tanks and from the grinders buying premium account time which awards 50% more XP and Silver (credits).
As car freaks I could see a lot of collecting going on as well in GTS, especially since there is no offline mode. If PD went the free-to-play route then rare cars, exclusive liveries, photoscapes, etc... could be sold for a few dollars each. And maybe sell a permanent online pass for $10 or $20 to participate in private lobbies. I am amazed at how many people spend money in WoT and I think car freaks like us would also pay now and then to have something cool. And if you don't want to spend money, well, you're still playing the same game as everyone else and not handicapped in any way.
Special events awarding clean racing could be held to award some of the goodies for free. It creates an incentive to be clean and also fills up the servers.
I have spent $100 on WoT. Got a 1-year premium account and a few premium tanks. I don't feel the need to spend more. I have been playing for a few hundred hours with no end in sight, even though I am close to the platinum. The game is that good (if you're into strategic real-time FPS wargames). It's just addicting, and that $100 I spent is about what GTS + Season Pass would cost.
It's just an idea, and IMHO obviously, but I am finding it really hard for me to spend $60 on a 95% online game with such limited game modes. If PS+ ends up being a requirement then GTS is going to really shrink its user base. And God knows how much DLC they will end up releasing, and at what price point.

I shake my head at times with GT's social media efforts.
Credit where credit is due, the Facebook account managed to update the cover photo.
But then decided the latest trailer isn't worth posting, but a few snaps of some clothing is.
Honestly.
How about posting the trailer and throwing us a bone or two giving some little bits of extra info.
I wouldn't have thought it was that hard.

This was known for quite some time. As soon as the first pre-orders hit, they where announcing 1mil credits as a perk for pre-ordering.8000,000 credits, GTS still uses credits like previous GT, buy and sell stuff

I'm very curious how they are going to make this game economy work with the severely limited offline portion of the game. The average finish is going to be 7th or 8th online, assuming full rooms, and half the racers are going to be 9th to 16th every race. Payouts for those positions were meagre to say the least in previous games, so some sort of adjustment to prize winnings is going to be crucial to advancement through the game. In a game focused on eSports and racing online, a game economy doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Perhaps there are lots of free cars to be given out for various events and accomplishments?

Might be a hint of the classic GT single player mode where credits are necessity to buy cars, parts, and maintenance ( oil change, body rigidity ) or not.

I'm a bit stumped on it as well. What on a vehicle is able to be purchased for customization? If theres little to none than I'm not sure why they'd need an in game economy. Unless there are just going to be cars that are locked behind a large cash wall, where they feel it would be better to grind your way towards unlocking it. Still, thats very little use as I see it. Hopefully they reveal more later.
The only thing I can think of for higher pay outs is if they re-introduce something like the Seasonals, or, like you mention, adjusting payout prizes.
Well, yeah, credits should be necessary to buy cars, if its in the game lol. Maybe some car wash too? Although I can't see much with maintenance going on since the game is supposed to be BoP. It can work with offline, I suppose, but I'm sure they'd also like to keep a layer of evenness there too.

BOP is only for Sport mode AFAIK. There's public lobby, so I guess everyone can tune their own cars to their liking and host these lobby just like in GT5/6, Thinking about credits makes me think about unique single players events like in GT4 ( manufacturer races, region specific events etc )

That can work, but we've seen so little that has to do with actual modifications that I'm wondering if there is going to be any.

That's the dilemma with Manufacturers Cup. If you have to have a car for a manufacturer in a certain class which car can you pick, if they don't produce a car that fits?
Bugatti essentially has only the Veyron. So take that for Gr4 or drop Bugatti from the Cup?
The RCZ-R is the most powerful production Peugeot ever. So it's the natural choice also for Gr3. I'd rather have this than a VGT.
