Gr 4 lovers

Gr.4 showing back up is genuinely the most I've been surprised by a PD move in a while.

How's the BoP for that at the minute, which drivetrain is on top?

It’s mostly a Genesis party every week in the dailies.

EDIT - checked the recent leaderboards and it's more the Citroen GT and Mazda Atenza heading things at the moment.

Good lord! I can't believe what I'm seeing! GR4 is back! I pretty much forgot how to drive that class because GT1 league just abandoned it. This is going to be epic! And a nice selection of tracks too! As much as I love Nords, I'm glad it's not making an appearance this season.

Spa, RBR and Road Atlanta seem to be the Endurance races, which is exactly what I love. I'm expecting random dynamic weather at Spa (hopefully).

Anybody else notice the tuning regs at Deep Forest (round 6) They're letting us tune the gears and the suspension This just got a lot more interesting

@Moose, you're gonna be a busy man this season!

Let's goooooo!!!!

Where are you located? I recall many of the A.O. people got hosed in GT1 where the three time slots were in the wee hours in the morning for them. So rather than Wed and Sat it was Thur and Sun at 1:00, 3:00, and 5:00 am or something.

Yeah, that's probably it. My computer timezone may be off and the webpage is showing adjusted times and dates.
Checked with the console and all is normal there. 👍
 
Road Atlanta is looking like a skip race for me. 30 laps of a track I really dislike is not my idea of fun. The others look fine. Spa and RBR might have some rain.

Not sure who to sign with. I think I've done pretty much of all of them by now except Nissan (I don't get on at all with the GTR). Maybe Ferrari as a sendoff for the 458 before its grandson turns up in December.

According to GT engine the weather at Spa is set to 'random.' So yea, rain a definite possibility.

Hopefully it is properly random and not the scripted stuff we've had before. It's no fun and a bit stupid knowing exactly when to pit because you've read it here or watched some streamer from the East.
 
There was a 20-lap Spa race in the official season.

I will be surprised if the weather pattern is different from however it was then (I forget), given how often PD crib from past seasons for these.
 
Real life has injected itself between me and virtually anything else today, but I have to say I'm looking forward to the new season. Nice to see the return of Gr.4 and the appearance of Blue Moon.

I decided on my manufacturers months ago, already, based on the least popular ones in Canada last season that I have yet to try: Ford (main) and Subaru (alt). I'm trying something new here with the two concurrent accounts. I'm hoping I'm not biting off more than I can chew.

I did a fair amount of Daily Races in each account during the break to level-set my DR for competitive racing, so I'm hoping to have some fun this time around instead of just driving laps around the back of the field.
 
New race combos and Gr.4 is absolutely not what I was expecting. I'll miss the RBR race which is a shame because it's long and looks like it might have weather but this is a nice surprise and there's a bit of variety. Let's go.
 
The gr4 inclusion certainly adds a variable… I think that will be a big deciding factor on what manufacturer to choose.

Mazda and genesis should be solid choices… but a-little boring/mainstream…

I’m leaning towards Lamborghini myself.

What are you all thinking?
