It just shows how much these guys were in the loop and dare I say it made favourites of by PD that they would be privy to this before us plebs. In an ideal world everyone would find out the same. I wonder what changes would have caused such a reaction.
And if they're going to stand aside, maybe my time has come. (Yeah right!

For those worried they might stop doing live events in response to recent doomposting:

They will probably reduce the number of live events and maybe do only 2 big ones - in summer and winter?

That's exactly what they did last year. The Showdown in August in Amsterdam and then the finals in Barcelona in I can't remember which month.
I'm guessing the number of people who get to go has been scaled back and caused the uproar.

But that's already the case right now. In 2022 they still did the online points, tape-delay races (which were problematic from network side) and 2023 saw that cut altogether.

There's a GTWS drivers' group on "a well-known, game-oriented, often-integrated chat application" which includes many drivers who've attended GTWS as competitors and some GTWS staff. Pretty much anything on there is under privilege, although as we see above, some players who haven't attended events as competitors and are in esports teams with other drivers who have are made privy to the information.
I have more of an idea now, but similarly under privilege (after all, who wants to talk to someone who's technically a journalist if you aren't covering your arse
). I'm largely not surprised by what I've heard, though I guess there's more specifics I'll learn when everyone else does!

I found a tweet from a non GTWS driver from France telling that they are reducing the number of spots to qualify to the live events, probably one driver per country now??🤔🤔🤔

Kevin Belic is definitely a GTWS driver. He raced in Manufacturers at the (online) world final for BMW in 2021.
Edit: Ah yeah, that'd do it.

Six online rounds for each cup.
Four live events - Montreal, Prague, Tokyo, ??? for finals
Nations is back to one driver per country, manufacturers is still team based but is only a team race at the finals (each driver per team goes to one of the non-finals events).
Aside from the format changes, Montreal as a host is interesting given certain track content rumours...

Montreal ey? hmm 🤔

So I can see now why the usual GTWSdrivers are not happy, basically only 12 players will attend live events and the world finals, so no more semi-finals rounds

6 rounds of online qualifiers is pretty disappointing.
I actually think the esports players get the better end of the deal here. The live final attendee numbers are very similar to 2022 finals numbers (obviously 2022 Nations had pre-qualifying too) - 12 people in Nations go to 4 events, 36 people in Manufacturers go to two events.

So if I understood it correctly, we will have 12 online races for gtws (6 manu and 6 nations).
The top players after those 12 races will be selected.
What are the star players then? Are they already qualified? I'm confused about this part because the website already says which are the star players for 2024.
