So I guess they just take all your points away if you leave a race just before it starts. 🤕

No. Points are not taken away.

You score 0 for any race you quit after matchmaking. If that race is also your last entry in a round, you will register 0 points for the round as you only score the points gained from your last entry.

As a wise man once said, everyone is a Ferrari fan - even the ones who claim not to be. I’d regret it if I didn’t race for them at least once.

That’s my pick for the proper season.

Wise decision Same thing for me

If they wont nerf the Renault again then i will probably do a proper season with it , only sucks about Gr.4 Trophy , i found the other Megane better with FF

The Trophy was why I had to discount Renault. Was doing some Gr4 testing using the Daily Race qualification at Suzuka, and the Slophy was just that - way off the pace. Same with the front-wheel-drive Megane. A pity as the RS01 is so good now but I didn't want to handicap myself for half the races.

Citroen was my other choice other than Ferrari. In the tests I was consistently fastest in both the Gr3 and Gr4 GTs, but the Gr3 version is still a bit too wild and tail-happy to use in long races.

Is there a way of making sense of your Rankings? I can see my Local and Domestic rankings, but they're only my position amongst fellow Toyota drivers, which seems rather unimportant compared to my overall ranking. It would also be nice to see out of how many competitors you got your result. I mean, 100th out of 101 is pretty bad, 100th out of 10,000 is rather good.

Having said that, if there is the AMG GT3 Evo coming this week - may have to reconsider.

Haha I saw that too this morning. It’s put AMG back on the table for me in the official season (thats as long as the new car is decent)

My issue was more with the Gr4 SLS. I'll probably still go with Ferrari and hope an update to the 458 is in the works. Save the Evo for dailies and any Nations Gr3 races.

I am not going to say that I am not a Ferrari fan. But I really am not.

 

[RobertHammer]

nerfed Supra yay but my Renault why? :/

nerfed Atenza and WRX good

 

[Fezzik]

Small adjustments compared to last month but seems pretty fair, based on the recent Gr3 races (champs and dailies) - people have been constantly complaining that the Sup was OP, and Renault/Peugeot have been right at the top of the leaderboards. Nice to see the American cars get a little boost.

On paper it does look more balanced, though I'm sure new metas will emerge.

The Gr4 Ferrari got a little assistance - my bribe paying off quickly

 

[OJBrit]

Nice to see my next manu get a small boost.

Tried it out for the Fuji Gr3 time trial. Must be pretty quick as I got silver on my first lap, which doesn’t happen often. Not a fan though, it feels more understeery than the older car, not as enjoyable to drive.

Sticking with Ferrari. Now come on PD, get a move on and start the season!

I don't think it will start until after the GR Cup

They ran at the same time last year. The gazoo is a separate sponsor comp, like the Olympic TT - PD's own GTWS takes priority and I highly doubt they will delay it until September.

I'd be surprised if GTWS does not start next month. Attached last year's schedule.

 

[OJBrit]

Hopefully longer seasons this time.

You are probably right. There's no way I can cram 3 official races in per week across the summer, I have both family and work to attend to. So I probably are going to run a few races here and there and not taking any of the seasons serious.

That's too bad. I guess it's PD's hint to me that I am too old or too young to be doing this.

I didn't do the Gazoo last time but should have some free time on Sundays. Just a lowly B anyway, so will pick-n-mix my favourite rounds from the 3 comps, points don't matter at all to me.

It has been like this for a few years, plus TGR GT Cup is not every Sunday 🤷 This is also why you usually only need to score 4-6 times out of 10. In TGR GT Cup 4 out of 7.

B points don't matter to PD either. Only a select few have their points mean anything.

Hmm, I am smelling a possibility for the GTWS Nations and Manufacturers schedule being announced after May 11 update. 🧐🤔

GTWS 2023 will be starting on May 13th.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

2023 Gran Turismo World Series Starts May 13, With New Nations Cup Teams Format​

Polyphony Digital has announced the official 2023 Gran Turismo World Series esports championship, which is set to begin this coming weekend on Saturday May 13 — and there’s some major changes afoot...

 

[Nebuc72]

Ah, that schedule has taken the wind out my sails immediately. All Gr. races? (bar an SF race).

Nations to me has always been about who is the best of the best in the huge array of cars that GT has to offer. Not just "drive the same Gr. cars you race everywhere else in Sport Mode."

The exhibitions going across the Honda Fit, the Citroen DS, the rally races, the Living Legend, etc. - that was way more in tune with what I want (and usually get) out of this series. Bit boring to just have it be a duplicate of the rest of Sport Mode, especially when Manu Cup is also only going to be Gr.3/Gr.4 anyway.
