Gran Turismo World Series (Manufacturers Cup Exhibition Season: Feb 5 - Feb 15)

A shame that will be. I miss having people on the friends GT2 leaderboard. It's usually me plus one other.

feel the same, but only six races cramped in a few weeks is just not a competion for me. Will miss a bit to many rounds due to work and life, I got to little time to practice and a total lack of original events are killing it for me. Shame though, had to much fun in GTS in competing with the whole gang who got most points.

Bit odd, but in GT7 i got a bit better in racing and I have way more success but still I miss GTS which had a real championship were you actually had 20 cars on the grid. I mean, how could PD even concider that a follow up on a successfull game should have fewer cars on track and fewer events? it baffles me...

My Top split race in Oceania Region. Defending the last lap with honour!

I think "fewer cars" is pretty obvious, this was supposed to be a PS5 game that got shoehorned into the PS4 at the last minute and 16 cars was all the PS4 can handle. (I say that as a PS4 owner/player, the game was and is getting held back). As for fewer events... The only justification I can think of, is that they want the same competitors at each World Tour event. From a promotional perspective this sorta makes sense, they get more people they can promote, storylines, etc, but... I really don't like it. It means a shorter season for the "everyman", and less of an opportunity for anyone else to get into the big events. I guess it's slightly easier on the drivers that they only have to grind for 2 months instead of longer, I know it's hard on them, but... There are only a few slots and they should be earned.

Feels like all i do is moan haha but its just so disappointing that they have made the official season so short and again put in the same old tracks. Would have put my mortgage on Nords, Suzuka and Fuji. They even went out of their way to do a promo video bigging up the incoming season to then just give you 2.5 weeks of mostly 1x Hard tire daily race style sprint races. Can't really say its a championship to reward the top drivers who've worked hard through a number of strategic races. More like a championship to reward those that are best at Qualy as you won't get much chance to work you're way forward in those short races!

4 weeks from now and it'll all be over until Autumn at the earliest!

That said, being positive, i may still try and do a couple of races. Unlikely i'll do 3 to get the max points, but may try Interlagos and Daytona. Majority of cars that are good at Interlagos are not very good at Daytona so will be a tough choice for Manufacturer! May finally re-sign for my favourite GT3 car in the game. (@GTWolverine knows who i mean )

The whole season is a bummer. Only 6 rounds each and most of them are duplicates anyway. I don't know anyone that isn't disappointed in some regard. Feels like they've proper phoned it in.

Patch 1.46 has introduced a major bug making it possible to bypass event restrictions and change car setups when they should be locked, including in Sport mode. https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gt7/news/00_8730173

Unless Polyphony pull an all-nighter to find the problem and rush out an emergency patch to fix it, I wonder what that's going to mean for the Nations and Toyota rounds this weekend. Of all the times for something like this to occur, the official season is pretty much worst case scenario!

 

[FluxWildly]

They pretty much have to do Nurb in GTWS since it’s difficult to squeeze in Daily races. I think everyone expects it at this point.

Well technically that not so much true anymore now that they have started putting the odd 40 min race in as Daily Race C. The N24 would be the perfect candidate for one of these longer format daily races. Plus it then gives people the chance to race it multiple times instead of only 3 times!

 

[Fezzik]

Lambo for me this time, with my favorite powertrains: 4WD in Gr.4 and MR in Gr.3

My trusty d12 came up with Lambo as well, which was my preferred option anyway. Need to test the Gr4 Huracan a bit more around Suzuka and Fuji but I think it's the way to go.

 

[RCC_Joey]

I'm thinking of signing with Mclaren. Most of the tracks require a car with good rotation and stability. Daytona RC won't be a problem because I have the F1 GTR and that will be my ACE card for that particular round where the 650s may be left lacking.

Can u use different cars for manu?

 

[FluxWildly]

For those of you complaining about re-usage of tracks, which tracks would you like used instead? Maggiore, St Croix, Tokyo, Blue Moon Bay? Ugh, no thank you. The current track roster suits.

Haha are you kidding?!?
I'd love any 4 of those circuits to come up in the GTWS over the rinse and repeat combos we are getting lately. Those are some great tracks that are criminally underutilized (well except for Maggiore).

 

[Fezzik]

Can u use different cars for manu?

Yes, you can use any eligible Gr3/Gr4 car for your chosen manufacturer.

 

[Talon16]

Can u use different cars for manu?

Yes. Just keep in mind you'll have to own some of them. Meaning, when you sign you're given ONE Gr3 and ONE Gr4 (if applicable). So, if you want to use a different car of said manu, you'll have to own it.

You sign with Ford you're temporarily given a Gr3 GT 18 to use for the season. If you want to use the Gr3 GT LM II you have to own it.

Aight. Always questioned how that would work. Since not all cars from one manu are listed when you choose, but thanks for the clarification.

As long as they belong to your chosen manufacturer, yes!

🤔I wonder if they will postpone this weekends events. Wouldn't be the first time they have done it. I seem to remember this happening once or twice before I just can't remember when

They could invalidate the whole round. They have history with that also.

I honestly hope they do not fix it.

Having open set ups is the way the game should be played. There is no way to tune for the toyota cup. nations though there is.

 

[tankuroded]

Halfway through the season, the live Nations finalists look like this (for Bonelli, pending decision regarding cross-region smurfing allegations):


EDIT: If Bonelli gets disqualified for that reason, Fraga would take his spot. Cutline is currently otherwise -43 points.

Looks like they've found a workaround, I just went to practice and it won't let me run my own car. At least we won't be in identical cars as there is a big choice of liveries, I hope I can found one that's not as bad as the default one that makes an ugly car even uglier.

Does anybody else find it curious that an update that only added some new cars, extra menu books, and events had changes to the logic for checking race restrictions? I wonder what PD is up to.

The whole season is a bummer. Only 6 rounds each and most of them are duplicates anyway. I don't know anyone that isn't disappointed in some regard. Feels like they've proper phoned it in.

If they offer good racing, I'm not too bothered by duplicates. But with two of the six races being no-pit sprints, I'm finding it hard to get excited about this season. Looking at the race settings for the other races, it doesn't look like there will be much variation in race strategies for those, either, unless they do something with weather.

On the other hand, I've had some of my most fun races in events I wasn't expecting to enjoy, so I'm trying to keep an open mind.

I just went to practice and it won't let me run my own car.

Noooooo! The only reason I was taking part in this round was because of the livery I was using. I have never touched Lago Maggiore in a Sport event and I was taking part this time only because of an awesome livery I found. A concept/technically-VGT/fake car, now without our liveries, and on a fake-err-original track. No bueno for me!

I hope they can fix this before the Gazoo racing. That BRZ/GT86 is horrid to look at without liveries.

I'm sorry but what do you mean by this?
I just tried to enter practice for the TGR cup and Daily B and C and it let me use my own car.

there was no way to tune your Gr86......

I just tried all three and you can still run your own car.

I can still run my own car with the tuning glitch in Nations cup as of 9:29am EST

Imagine the wall penalties dished out at Tokyo! Oh, the carnage.

Cool, so now all the cars are going to look exactly the same driving around... at least for the next two. Guess there are some different colors for the RB car but still lame. That makes for good viewing. Thanks, Kaz.

There are also 13 standard colour schemes for the Porsche tomorrow.

Jeez! Too bad official posts don't allow reaction. Would have used poop emoji for first time. So freaking lame!!

Btw I can still join the Nations round for practice with my own car and with it tuned. Would be funny if PD fumbled further and could not manage to disallow garage cars.

Want me to write an article about it so that you can?
