Yeh, big time.Did he just ride the walls and not get DQ'd?
Sad to see.
It seems he loses speed, but I don't think it's an automated penalty, simply a natural loss of speed from hitting the wall.
I question why they don't use Brands.
Perhaps the track limits and penalties aren't sorted yet?
With the Aussie qualifiers not started at this time, the best I have is from the Philipines event.
"At each Live Event, Players will be invited to take part in a virtual race on Gran Turismo 7 (the “Game”) using Nissan gaming pods. Players will run five (5) laps or five minutes (whichever comes first) on the Tokyo Expressway (the “Track”) using a Nissan GT-R (the “Car”). Their fastest lap time will be recorded."
"NPI (Nissan Philipines Inc.) reserves the right to disqualify Players for unsportsmanlike conduct at anytime during the course of the competition. Players who are caught cheating by any means, including cutting corners and exploiting glitches or any other unintended functionality in the Live Event, will be disqualified."
"The decision of Nissan and/or that of the judge(s), as the case may be is/are final and no appeal thereof may be made."

Leaving decisions to 'representatives' is a bad ploy.
A lap should be 'legal' or not, and determined by the game, not by guys watching over a drivers shoulder.
PD should have a better system in-place to avoid losing the reputation of GT Academy.
*Edit.
On another note, it seems that the GT Academy Camp is planned to be held at Silverstone in October.
Therefore how other countries, whom apparently can get involved at the launch of GT Sport in November, sounds very confusing.
This years GT Academy appears to me to have fallen into a big hole.
I don't understand what they are trying to do here.
Either do it right, or forget it for this year.
