Oh c'mon! The ME decals are usually at the bottom. And I was making sure to look thoroughly before posting. Jeez Louise. 👍

Sport mode entry. The cursor swirls around. No Tag Heuer countdown for me.

Because any of the Tag Heuer appearance and mentions has been scrubbed from the game entirely.

No longer appears in the race result. No longer besides the in game timer. Even the brand central for Tag Heuer has been removed.

Still no confirmation if the in track banner related is also removed.

Save to say that the Tag Heuer sponsorship has come to an end.

 

[tankuroded]

Any relation?

 

[TonyJZX]

LOL that is super rough. They even removed all the Heuer content which is a bit of a shame if you like that stuff.

I'm a Omega Rolex man so could care less about them.

Courtesy of the Gran Turismo website. But I decided to save and reupload the photo to GTP's media gallery in case if the article gets erased.

EDIT: I also have an album for said cause. Just in case if anyone has archived the Tag Heuer museum/other features, they can upload them here.

That's seems coming from mock-up/prerelease version, I'm looking more from something from the Capture Gallery folder.

At least they didn't drop the TAG Heuer decals

Friendship with TAG Heuer ended

Now ps2 swirl is my best friend

That’s a shame. Gonna miss that watch.

To be fair, when you look at who owns iRacing, and the sponsorship agents they have access to, don't be surprised if more sponsors/partners jump across away from Gran Turismo.

I don't know what this means....

There are only four major sponsors/partners of GT Sport:
1) Toyota
2) Mazda
3) Michelin
4) The FIA

Not quite sure of what you're trying to imply here.

Me neither. iRacing is very niche compared to GranTurismo and PD is fully owned by Sony, I'm pretty sure they have no problems getting sponsors.

I think what he is trying to say is that iRacing is currently the game being played by famous people and streamers and is going up compared to Granturismo who keeps loosing players because of all the ingame issues.

If I was a famous company and had the choice I would throw my sponsor into iRacing.
F1 players will show it through racing that there's my logo on the side of the road and iRacing is known for it's quality.

GTSport isn't losing players. Quite the opposite, numbers are up significantly. You could argue its because of Coronavirus lock downs but saying GranTurismo is losing players is provably false.

I think current stats :
+ GT -> iRacing
- iRacing -> GT

Sponsors are looking where to get money and what the trends are.
Current trend is iRacing so they will try all they can to go there.

 

[TonyJZX]

I read an interesting article where they noted that games are adding advertising in game to subsidise dev costs. I didnt see Heuer as that for the last 2-3yrs but its clear now what it is.

Heuer paid PD to include their content, now they dont want to continue the partnership then why would PD continue to host them?

I'm not blaming either company... Heuer clearly decided their money was better used elsewhere.

I've no idea what that means or what your source is?

 

[Granadier]

Also GT Sport even has a banner ad for iRacing in-game...

And this year alone there are already official races for Super Formula and Super GT scheduled to be run through GT Sport.

EDIT: oh yeah and a GT race tomorrow with Leclerc, Engel, and Perel hosted through GTS.


EDIT2: Oh and Red Bull hosting an official event through GT Sport with the likes of Pastrana, Rossi, Speed, and others.

Yes, it’s not at the level of IMSA official iRacing events, SRO ACC series, or LeMans through rFactor 2, but it’s far from a dead game...

Moving on from the baseless comments; hopefully there’s more undocumented changes found from the “Various other issues have been addressed.” bullet.
I’m also curious what track had a shortcut exploit on pit exit.

I'm hoping this means pit exit blend lines are now enforced. But haven't seen it confirmed yet. The lack of any races that actually require you to pit doesn't help
