Was Happy to see a return to wednesday/Saturday. Then I saw the timeslots and realised no one but kids and retirees can race now. First timeslot at 8 in the morning, last at 6 in the evening.
Thank you PD for locking me out of racing

My randomisation process this time landed me with BMW.
Going to try and run the official livery for the Gr3 but of course there is none for the Gr4 so I tried to copy it as much as possible on the Gr4 car. I haven't done a bad job I don't think. See you out there.

This article is confusing. The Gran Turismo website has it in pacific time and it goes from 8am-7pm pacific. This article has times all the way past midnight. So which one is it?This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Never mind. I figured it out.

I always put times in UTC (and label them as such!) because it's just easier for any human anywhere on the planet to Google (or remember) their own time zone and convert it from UTC - as all time zones are UTC+/- - than it is to convert it from another time zone somewhere in their region.
The various GT regional sites use all kinds of time zones (and I'm not very fond of using Pacific for the whole USA; Central might be a better bet), so rather than trying to muck about with them all, I go for a single standard. Or the single standard
Yeah my apologies. I did the math and converted it and saw my mistake. I’d still like to see more timeslots. As I said, I work 12 hour shifts with rotating off days, so on the days I have to work it’s not feasible for me to compete in an event with how it’s currently laid out. If we could get events up to or at 9 or 10 pm eastern or stretch the event over a few days or even a week, then that’s be great for me. The former probably being more likely.I always put times in UTC (and label them as such!) because it's just easier for any human anywhere on the planet to Google (or remember) their own time zone and convert it from UTC - as all time zones are UTC+/- - than it is to convert it from another time zone somewhere in their region.

It looks like the first Nation's round will be the only one of these I do. I might do the 3rd Nation's round just for laughs, but I have absolutely 0 interest in the tracks they picked for Manufacturer's.
Also, last I checked, the website said SH tires were required for Nation's Rd.1, but the game says SS tires are required. Both are available, so I'm assuming we either have to use both, or have to use SH tires in the race, and with the mandatory pit stop it just means everyone will probably do 7 laps on the SS tires and 1 on SH, regardless of what the actual requirement is. Unless it's actually only supposed to be SS required, in which case switching to SH will result in needless time lost in the pits, plus time lost on the track to those on the quicker tires. I guess you folks in Oceania or Asia will have to be the guinea pigs, unless PD clarifies this at some point!

I just have time for Nations Cup Race 1 and Race 3.
Suzuka is a nice one, love the car after some laps and was able to go for 2:15,904 and there are still some tenthts.
So I will try some lobbies whether I will drive on 31th December. Isn‘t it 31st?

Season 1 suggests there is a season 2 coming.You have got to be joking PD??? What is this?? Was looking forward to getting back into this game and having a proper 8-10 race exhibition season. Had been testing which cars to pick the last couple of days.
3 races…Deep Forest reverse, Road America and Autopolis…
Such a shame. Disappointing is an understatement. I won’t be coming back for these. Good luck to those that enter!

No one's saying another season won't happen but a three-round season after such a long wait is pretty unacceptable. Hopefully we won't have to wait long for the following season that again, will hopefully be much longer. But nobody knows for sure because PD as usual keeps everyone in the dark about what their plans are.

I wish they would do the same as a few years ago in GTS, when they had a season that consisted of 40 races....

I notice the latest round of races are taking place throughout the day (starting 9am for Nations and 11am Manu Euro timezone). I really hope this is a new trend and I won't have to count on my night off falling favourably for me to be able to take part in the occasional race!
It's an exhibition season folks! We has those in GTS also. When the FIAGTC started, the races were every day (so were were the daily races, but that's another subject). I assume they are using these short seasons to test some backend issues so that maybe we can have better, proper, and longer seasons.
Plus this gives you a chance to try out different cars without being stuck with them for a much longer season.
I mentioned this earlier, but I’d be ok with this if they added 2 or 3 more timeslots at the end of the day. I work 12 hour shifts with rotating off days. If I’m working the day of an event, all the currently available slots happen brother while I’m getting ready for work or during my work day.

Currently thinking if I should drive for Honda again or go with Subaru...

As it are only three races, you are free to choose and try something new.

I liken it to PD keeping drivers on their toes and not being too predictable....not necessarily a bad thing .....if they announced this with a 10 race season im sure people would still complain that it's too long... PD cant please everyone
Agreed.

I signed for Subaru and as a previous poster already noted you can no longer select the WRX Gr. 3. Only the BRZ. Does anyone know if I will be able to enter with a WRX come race night?
Speaking of race night, I'm glad it moved to Wednesdays so I can compete again. I see the double morning/evening time slots as positive, but why didn't they do this on Saturday instead of a weekday? Weekend evenings are impossible for me, but Saturday morning/noon slots would work for me. Seems this doubling of entry slots would have been most useful on the weekend. On Wednesdays it doesn't make sense.

Any answer to the 50th Sport Mode race trophy not triggering? I’m at 52 races and haven’t received the trophy either.

Tomorrow's Manu race is going to be interesting! The Nissan is faster on heavily worn softs than it is fresh hards. So the priority is going to be getting the most possible mileage out of the softs, then praying I don't get murdered while on the hards!!
