I look forward to driving the ambulance. I hope we have the option to remove the lights too.

I'll be the cynic, this looks like the same as the Ferrari VGT launch last year. PD heavily encourage players who normally wouldn't have any interest in eSports to catch the stream, some will stick around to see what happens but most will back out after 5 seconds. That doesn't really matter, their engagement numbers are boosted up and it gives them a stronger case to take to Sony to keep funding these events for another year. I wonder if they're under pressure given the low numbers they usually get.This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Honestly, GT's viewer figures are massive in motorsport esports events.
I have to watch... many because I get paid to do so, and some are just woeful. A recent event with big Saudi backing offered six figures to the winners and I screenshotted it at 13 views. They were eight-hour streams and not hitting 4k by close of play. I just checked the grand final and it's at 5k now.
Some are also self-evidently buying views here and there. There's one - which has a surprisingly similar format to GTPLeague - backed by a big esports org and they're getting maybe 30 concurrent views across an hour's stream, checking out at 1k and then suddenly they have 40k the next day. Against a subscriber count of 3k too, that's obviously bollocks - and they only boost some videos, so you've got back to back live events on the same day getting a few hundred and a few hundred thousand
A bad GT stream closes out at 25k (for the English language version) and grows relatively organically after that; last year's Nations Cup final on the English language YT is at 68k.
And it tallies with the chat. I watched the six-figure thing and there were about two people commenting. GTWS and GTWC in ACC both have quite busy chats and the view counts are appropriately higher (which is a giveaway for the GTPLeague sort-of-clone's fake numbers too). F1 Esports is probably the most-viewed but it's slapped onto the official F1 channel so there's loads of accidental clicks

R246..?
here's hoping..!🤞
If so, no one saw that coming.
Now I’m gonna go crazy.
From the photo, what if using the lights make the AI cars move out the way?

I’m actually quite enjoying the stream…
Why can’t we have events like this in the game. Imagine putting and handing off to another player online! Be awesome. Plus streams with these graphics they look great!
Nice to see that the changing tyre bug is still there for this event (wet/inters appear as dry tyres if you have dry tyres on the car and vice versa)
