Not a great season for me. Don't let the 1st places fool you. I was the only fool in Canada to pick Suzuki for this season. Not that the Suzuki is that terrible to drive. I just can't get it to go fast. At least I only had to drive it for three races.

If I continue my foolhardy strategy of picking from the least popular manufacturers, it looks like I'll have quite a few options for next season. Alfa Romeo, Audi, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi all had no drivers in Canada this season. Maybe I can find some better results with one of those. I have my doubts.

Can confirm that the Alfa is great to drive. Used it before I switched to Lambo and it was a joy to drive 👍

BTW were do you see how many people drove which manufacturer?

It is in the event site, under the 'Local Rankings' section. You have to pick a country (eg 'Canada'), then click through all the manufacturers to see which ones have no drivers. The North American site is here: https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt7/sportmode/championship/1116/1/2/0/1/0. UK (for Europe) is here: https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt7/sportmode/championship/1115/1/2/0/0/0.

Thank you

Suzuki the only one that wasn't used 🤣

I watched an Asia race earlier, and as much as I LOVE gr4 and controversially I LOVE FUJI it's gonna be a pass from me I think.

I'll probably do one slot in an off beat car (been practicing in the Veyron) but probably not

Did a practice race in the GT-R a few days ago. Did one just there in the Huracan. Identical race and fastest lap times. Guess I'm taking Godzilla to the one make then.

My Fanatec CSL DD started randomly disconnecting today after 15 months of zero issues. I've somehow got it back working a couple of times just for it to do it again. Not sure what's wrong, but it's not looking good. I might miss this series altogether.

*edit - seems my McLaren wheel is the issue causing the disconnects as my WRC and F1 wheels both work fine. Might race after all.

Not I.

Not I.

Me neither. Nothing against the combo, but I'm away from home and won't be able to. Same for next week.

Just done an AO race (Aus & NZ slot 7) and an EMEA race (slot 1). Can confirm no rain or change in weather for GT2/3. Can also confirm need to be very careful and look out for late late brakers at T1 on the first lap (pole to P13 exiting T1 in the EMEA race. Cue pitting on lap 1 and fighting back through the field to win).

EDIT: Oh, and if anyone alongside or right behind you on the grid is in an Alfa 155 then be aware of them coming through as that thing is RAPID off the line.
