Im starting to think we will hear more GT Sport info when we hear new PS VR info. In fact, Im really starting to think its going to be a pack in game with PS VR and a $40 retail game.
The winner will get a award just like real race driver in FIA gala ceremony. So this is pretty big deal
May be they will have co-op of 4 drivers per team to simulate 24hr race in green hell or le manBut the biggest thing is the partnership with FIA which makes it more genuine IMHO rather than giving 5000$ or pro gamer or racer certificate

Haha no please not this anytime soon. Haven't you raced any games recently? I'm not trying to shut you down, I love this idea. But I HATE when you start a race. Let's say 16 people actually join and the race starts. Three laps in you're down to 5. How on earth can we expect the co-op to work, when your teammates probably ditch you 15 minutes in, and you're on your own for the rest (23h45min) of the race. I wish that some racing game would implement an "online racing penalty". Leave mid-race and you get a warning. Do it three times and you get a ban-warning. Do it five times and you're banned from online racing for 15 minutes. Do it again after the ban has lifted a banned for an hour. I don't see this work unless you restrict players to either complete the race, or at least enter the pits and stay there for the rest of the race. I hate quitters that exit a race because they spun out ONCE during the 1st lap.May be they will have co-op of 4 drivers per team to simulate 24hr race in green hell or le man
Or the times you raced a full lobby and only half or less of the cars was showing up in the race on your screen....Let's not forget, PDI needs to sort out their net code first. Can't count the times I got DC'ed and had to leave a race I was enjoying a lot. This should be (hopefully) ironed out with the public beta.
The quitter penalty system needs to be looked at carefully too; otherwise you might get penalized unfairly.
It'd nice to have an appeals system, like in real motorsports, although I know I'm asking for too much there.
As for the idea of receiving prizes at FIA's awards ceremony, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's nothing more than a nice plaque with your name on it and you get that even before the main ceremony starts...
If they don't sort out the netcode GTSport will be a huge exercise in frustration for a lot of people. I'd like to see a driver rating system more than anything but I just don't see it happening for a number of reasons. Primarily I think PD will see it as a hinderance to people going online and that's the last thing they want. Their primary interest is to move units, not fair and clean racing. Assetto Corsa is highly moddable and one of the guys came up with a driver rating system on his own called Minorating, which is a simple type of system I've advocated for a long time, that is, it simply counts laps/contact, with only a slight weighting system if fault is obvious but even then both drivers get contact points. It changes behaviour online and it works. I've had some of my best open lobby races ever, in any game, on MR servers lately. It's available to all hosts and you can restrict entry to your lobby to any rating level or leave it wide open....Let's not forget, PDI needs to sort out their net code first.
