Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Preview: Dutch Courage

After a flurry of online competition earlier in the year, the time is now upon us for the first of 2023's two championship-deciding live events at the Gran Turismo World Series Showdown in Amsterdam. Surprisingly, given that Polyphony Digital has offices in the city, it's the first time that Amst

It does not; there isn't even a "U" in Greenwich.

It stands for "Coordinated Universal Time" (yes, even though the letters are in a different order) and is a time standard rather than a time zone.

@moby323

You could go to youtube and find the Gran Turismo channel, look for your language, and it shows the time (I believe for your time zone).
You can even have it set a reminder for you (at least on the iOS app)

Are you sure? Because my uncle is a time scientist and I’m pretty sure what I said was like correct unless you are using the metric system

What is the threshold for the rewards

Some TBDs spilled for today's Manufacturers race: 35 laps, 2x tire, 1x fuel. Also where did the Puma branding go?


EDIT: Race Structure page also updated.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Watch Live: 2023 Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Manufacturers Cup​

The first live Gran Turismo event of 2023 gets underway at 1700 UTC today, with the Manufacturers Cup at the World Series Showdown in Amsterdam...

35 laps, 2x tire, 1x fuel.

Should have quoted the most important part: variable weather. Makes me excited!

Is it the first time that a Gran Turismo competition is having variable weather?

No, it happened in last year's final at Spa.


Edit: I should also note that you have until the race actually starts to make your prediction, so you can watch superpole first...

I just opened the live stream inside GT7 and closed after 2 seconds. The screen now says "Entry Submitted". Let's see whether this got counted and I will get the engine roulette ticket.

YouTube stream is 4K 60fps, if you watch it through the game it's 1080 60fps max. Come on Sony..

 

[Talon16]

Alright, who else is live? Let's go!

 

[Nakano219]

Are they running with updated signage on Suzuka? I think that was the new logo on the main straight.

 

[appu]

It is so cool to see many 'famous' names in the youtube chat like nenkai, mistah_mca, vvg nismo, omega, etc.

Watching on youtube directly is definitely the way to go. Even 1080p60fps on my computer monitor is higher quality than on my 4K TV through GT7.

I voted for Toyota here. The poll should still be open as long as qualifying is going on, I believe.

Love the fact Honda is using the HRC colours this year!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

That BMW lap was insanely fast!

 

[Galvston]

the protagonist from the movie has an annoying face

 

[TexHill]

Why aren't they using the PSVR2? Seems like a great opportunity for Sony to showcase the technology.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

That AMG lineup is stacked too. Might see them move up the order in the race if they have a smooth performance.

 

[amnesiactical]

The Dutch anthem is unavoidable it seems

 

[Galvston]

still room for surprises tomorrow? Nations cup has unnanounced track....

It would make driver changes a lot harder, and not everyone is comfortable in VR.

With only 35 laps and 2x tires, there will be just one pit, right? And if yes, when they will get to cycle through everyone of 3 drivers?

Edit: Just got answer on youtube chat- every driver must drive at least 6 laps and the drivers can only change during pit.

They have to use all 3 drivers, and there's going to be rain.

 

[NAXEHT]

Let’s go, AMG! Best of luck to everyone.

Miyazono with the authentic BRZ Daily Race experience of almost getting done into turn one there.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

That Lambo livery looks great!

 

[appu]

I may not be watching it correctly but this race looks dirtier than my typical B/S lobby races. So many punting everywhere. And those punts are apparently okay according to stewards.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Starting to look like those Daily Race B lobbies out there's.


@appu lol your post timing on point!

 

[Talon16]

These guys making some Daily drivers look clean lol

 

[amnesiactical]

Not a great advert for driving standards, given these are the best players in the world
