Gran Turismo World Series (Nations Cup Exhibition Season: Jan 22 - Feb 1)

Ignoring the fact the timeslots in general are still absolutely awful... why on earth is 30 laps of wet Spa on a Wednesday!? I literally think that's an impossible race for most people with any form of life to make?

2pm I'll be at work. 4pm I'll be at work.
6pm sure I'll be home, maybe, but I don't think my partner (or me) will fancy waiting til god knows when to eat because I've had to dedicate to that behemoth of a race.

Absolutely asinine decision making. At least put it on Saturday where the timeslots make it less of a joke.

No mandatory tyres at Spa suggests it will rain. Just like the recent daily race there, which proved to be a popular week.

The manufacturer season looks pretty good.

Although, i'm not sure why PD are sticking with having the Wednesday races take place in the middle of the afternoon. These 4 race seasons should just take place on Saturday's.

Any tips for x2019 for a good start off the line?

I find praying and closing my eyes is my best chance of getting it off the line...


2nd gear and TC3 and if you can try to time the lights rather than just bouncing it off the limiter as it just hits peak torque instantly. Anywhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of the rev range can give a smoother acceleration so less TC intervention.

I think considering my general schedule as of late, I'll be much more likely to have time for these races. Looking forward to it!
