True but i kinda want damage cause it will be more realistic i know thats harsh but thats how real life is go big or go home.Actually we can take the whole damage thing away and just do the ban thing

I wouldn't mind damage (in fact there's already light damage in the FIA Races), except that the level of racing we have in Sport mode right now is too low for damage to be funTrue but i kinda want damage cause it will be more realistic i know thats harsh but thats how real life is go big or go home.
All I can say about the new tyre model is it feels pretty natural but its about 10 times more punishing, the days of quickly snapping the wheel left to right or pretty much any aggressive motion are gone.
The cars as a result of the tyre model were 2 seconds slower at Monza and 10 seconds slower at the Ring.
Yes, but many forget that GT Sport is not a "hardcore sim" and likely never will be. That is by design, which is a good thing. Polyphony (and Sony) want to cater to a wide audience of players, which means keeping the game accessible for casual players. Those of us sim-racing nuts on this site make up a small percentage of the people overall that play Gran Turismo (typically....Sport is probably different because of the online focus). Personally, I think PD do a brilliant job of offering both an accessible game but also with sim-like challenging elements for highly skilled drivers. I don't want Gran Turismo to turn into Assetto Corsa. Both games are great, but are geared to different audiences. Don't get me wrong, I love more sim elements being added, but I also get the logic behind why that is limited. It's a balancing act.
The broadcast yesterday was fantastic. I can't wait to see what PD do next in this space. It was really well done, and I thought Jimmy and his partner made a really natural broadcasting pair. Well dmne PD.
I agree in most of the races im Mid to Slow driver but i do much better in the actuall race mostly cause of mistakes infront for example once with GR.4 i started 18th (although i did just one lap to not start last) & i ended up 3rd.I wouldn't mind damage (in fact there's already light damage in the FIA Races), except that the level of racing we have in Sport mode right now is too low for damage to be fun
At the top field at mid-high S/S maybe damage is a viable and possibly fun option, but not to the general public
Why doesn't GRAN TURISMO TV keep the live streams uploaded? Is there any way to watch the races again? Because I don't really plan on staying up late just to watch the Nations Cup race tomorrow (I too am in an exam period now!).
Edit: voila...I don't understand why they would want to keep these unlisted? Maybe they will upload a highlights package or something.
Yeah the promotion for this event was really bad. First promotion was the trailer released around monday. Not a good strategy for the first event to keep it under wraps for so long. This needed to be plastered ingame and on social media a month in advance.It took me ages to try and find where these where being streamed. You'd think they would have plastered all over the place and in an up and coming schedule.

Funny that this very choice has put them in this odd position now.Agreed, but because it's not a hardcore sim, I don't think they should be allowed to advertise the game with an FIA certificate on it and use it predominantly for marketing purposes. Only a hardcore sim should be allowed to have that status.

Totally agree. I'm actually kind of disappointed about the racing in the FIA-races. There are better racing in the open lobbies in Iracing, and I'm not promoting that simulator in any way. I was discussing the race with some friends that also race in real life, and they were shocked about the low standard of the drivers. Absolutely no strategy and no planning of moves. Just push the way through ...Watched both races yesterday and was a bit suprised by how many errors and questionable moves were made by some of the guys there
The GTR performed very good on the Ring, too bad the 3rd driver binned it and threw a safe win away
Nice drift by @nissman tho
Exactly this. FiA needed someone with BIG base of users. What is a better candidate for that if not GT?The goal with FIA partnership is to bring more younger audience and new people to Motorsport. Bring a lot new young blood from casual market convert to be Motorsport fan. You think FIA just partner PD without reason. They the one looking for answer since Motorsport not very popular nowadays. If they want to go full hardcore sim they should done with rfactor 2 or they own custom sim with wheel only by now. Now only lead hardcore community to be with. You don't gain any casual player base who don't very interested in Motorsport. You don't have any growth in the community. The way PD did teach some people basic racing and braking point. It help a lot people understand on track that never done it before. The FIA want to partner with someone get a lot casual market. They not stupid they do it for the reason.

There was only _one_ proper move during yesterdays manufacturers race: when the BMW in 2nd found an opening and used the error made by the last Nissan driver (which completely lost it because of stress) on the final lap.
I'm sure the guys are fast in hot lapping, but they suck in racing. They make Verstappen look like the cleanest driver on the planet.
Well we all have to accept the fact they didn't exactly pull this through right for now. I now have 2 accounts between 65-70k and a brand new UK on 75k,someone shoot me in the leg now....
Sadly we all don't have access to an F1 sim...
Should EA Games use FIFA as a title considering it is less of a football sim than Pro Evo. Being a 'complete sim racer' has nothing to do with it.
Yesterday in stream they said that criteria for 30 picks were ratings from end of April.
No matter how big or small your country is.
They were only doing teams of 4 from biggest countries and its one privilege to huge.
But if you are fast and regular, there should be no problem and need for racing under foreign flag.
Btw, looking live stream now and looks like no Nordschleife
Sadly, no Dragon Trail either.
But Fuvaros p1 Giorgio p3 race 1q, that fight I'm waiting for!
@Lord Protector Fuvaros looks like Slovakian nick? I would say no
The commentators should have clarified the rules earlier. By lap 3 they were still saying that there was a mandatory pit-sop.
