I miss the GTS days when we got paid of someone in our country won.

I miss the GTS days when we got paid of someone in our country won.

So no chance at all for many of us? No thanks!

Edit: From the Manufacturers i only know:
Carrazza (Toyota)
Igor Fraga (Lexus)
Valerio Gallo (Honda)*
Angel Inostroza (Subaru)
Fraga is maybe more concentrated on real racing these days. Are the other 3 still focused on the game and good bets?

 

[Nakano219]

I can see Subaru being a popular choice that ends up disappointing people - the BRZ is going to be awful coming out of Junção and up the hill.

I've seen Gallo in some Dailies while watching someone's stream.

Brudda it might as well be the same difference.

 

[Def-Infinity]

I think they should go with Carrazza

 

[Fezzik]

I'll probably go with Lexus as they were my team this season.
Maybe Chevy on the backup account as well.

Die roll for Nations.

 

[05XR8]

Toyota for me as usual.

 

[kjb]

Not sure who I am going with maybe I will pick an underdog

 

[CommanderBond]

I think Chevy is definitely going to be a dark horse pick.

 

[Talon16]

So we need to guess at the winner but they're not giving out tire wear or fuel usage information? Not such a big deal for a one-make Nations race, but the Manu race that would definitely play a part in which car(s) may be stronger/weaker.

You don’t have to pick until the race starts - all the information will be available by then.

Yea, that's cool so long as you're near your PS5 at the time. I won't be. It is what it is!

 

[MroczMR]

Maybe somebody should start a poll with finalists predictions and manufacturers?

Remote Play !!!!

Theoretically yes. But for some reason unknown it doesnt work on my Sony Mobile phone even when directly next to the console: cant find the console 🙄

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Tickets for Gran Turismo’s Montreal World Series Event Are Sold Out​

With over a week to go until the event, tickets to the first live Gran Turismo World Series of 2024 — and the first Gran Turismo event in Canada — have sold out...

 

[Fezzik]

The 3rd party PSPlay app works much better for those on Android and would probably work for you, but it isn’t free so not an option for this occasion.

 

[Roggers]

So when are PD going to update the Manus team selection? I see Porsche, Honda and a few other teams are still “To be confirmed”. This is typical PD to be fair.

I know Honda have a driver visa issue and Gallo is the replacement, but what’s the issue for the other teams? Not knowing who is driving means I can’t really vote for my free 1mill

 

[badaboum528]

I just bought a Gold ticket as this event is a 6 hour drive from me. Does anyone have any recommendations on locations to stay and if Montreal is "car friendly" in terms of getting around?

Not really sadly... The metro would be your best bet to get to the event.

French canadian here! Luckilly I live just outside of Montreal so it will take me around 30 minutes to get there. Kudos to those coming from a long way. Either way, i'm very happy to be there and to get a chance of seeing Kaz. Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve would a dream for me as I sometime go for walks there😁 Really excited to meet some of you guys there!!

Thx for posting! I was just looking for this info on the official site and just couldn't find it.

BTW: "Guy Barbara" is such a cool name that my bet is probably on him(?)

 

[fardoche]

Too bad I can't make it that weekend... My brother is 30 min drive away from usine c.

I discovered recently that Advanced sim racing is a Montreal company. If they don't have a boot showing off their tech (it would be a shame), it is great moment to visit their facilities.

Or maybe these cars will be drive by the Stig and his brothers 😅.

 

[Wannablackbee]

I'll be there with my son. Happy to watch live sim racing in person.

 

[MroczMR]

Sooo. What are the chances for each participants? I wan’t to figure out where to place my predictions and have no clue who has the best chances.

 

[Meythia]

Isnt the Stig somehow licensed to Forza?
I remember there was a Stig challenge in a version that dates back to the Xbox One, or was this just a single occasion?

Idk about the Stig specifically but GT definitely had a TG license...and pretty much squandered it.

Question for you. Since you're localish and I'm only there for 2 days and change, I just planned on carding my way around Montreal. Any places that don't take credit cards? I know the event said there will be a food truck around the area before so might be in trouble. Worst case I can go to some foreign exchange place and just convert $200 USD or something.
