Hi Adam. OK mate. Reserve spot 1 is yours

 

[paoloevans]

So we have a full entry list with interestingly only 2 PRO drivers.

So an overall podium will be up for grabs each race for the Silver drivers

3 to fight for the AM class title as well:tup:

Can't wait

Looking forward to it, been playing since GT1 (was too young to play it well) and finally got a wheel in January, has taken getting used to but will be nice to race in an organized league for the first time.

Like the driver class system btw, nice way of keeping it competitive

Nice one

I can remember playing GT1 when it came out. Spending ALL DAY doing the Sunday Cup just to spend Cr. 80,000 on getting a racing modification on a 90's Honda Prelude (I was a lot younger and my racing priorities were different haha!)

The classing system brings a bit more competitiveness to the racing definitely. I'm still on controller, maybe get a wheel one day!

For all drivers,
With the new season, we will have some new liveries and drivers which ultimately results in a new Spotters Guide for the season. To help facilitate this, I would ask all drivers to either share and link their livery here in this thread or follow the instructions to capture the profile picture and post it instead. Also, please include your nationality.

Spoiler: Profile Photo capture Instructions

-Go to your "Photo" section
-Select white sands (3)
Place your car on the screen. Once set, simply move the car to a side profile, trying to avoid any other placement.
1.) Set the lens to 71mm (displayed in upper left of screen)
2.) target center of driver door.
3.) SET Ev +0.5
4.) Screen effect 1:
*Mask: select "background"
*Filter: select "none"
*Individual tone correction:
-only move:
Brightness to 500 and
Midpoint Correction to 150.
5.) Take photo
6.) Take a PSN screenshot of the finished picture and psn message me the capture and your nationality for your drivers flag to be displayed.
My psn id is: II-NOVA-II (Capital i's)

I will then gather all the submitted photos and render a Spotters Guide like the one shown in the tab below.

Spoiler: Season 5 Spotters Guide as Example

Thanks for in advance for the help and cooperation.

Perfect @llNovall

I was hoping you were going to recreate the Spotters Guide for S5!
Please can all drivers do this, the instructions are quite simple to follow!

Thanks

It's a great touch and adds to the series a lot

Note: I should have my livery ready by the end of tomorrow 👍

 

[paoloevans]

Obviously we have a little way to go before Round 1 and Season 4 still to finish so no rush with the new liveries

Many if you haven't even chosen your car yet!

 

[Drex124]

GTPlanet name: Drex124
PSN Name: Drex125
Car: BMW Z4
Number: #7

Perennial reserve driver reporting in. I might switch cars before we start since the Z4 is horribly uncompetitive, but I usually have fun with it anyway, we'll see.

 

[Dan Power]

Just a question on this, I've always used the GT default numbers for liveries, as I always race daily races, so custom race numbers look terrible once the GT default gets plastered over it.... does the same happen here or are we good to put anything on? Totally a vanity thing, but given the chance I'd sooner avoid the GT default number boxes

 

[Sniparator]

The same does not happen in here. There is an option in the lobby settings to apply daily race number boards to all cars but it's deactivated for this series. So you're free to use any number board.

 

[paoloevans]

@Dan Power yep as @Sniparator stated above.

Be as creative as you wish You don't have to run the official GT World Challenge number boards either if you don't want to

Yeh, I have an Aston ready to go (the 'vette was strong, no complaints, just thinking of trying something different), but in honour of re-watching a certain tv show, I'm tempted to do a Marlbro livery , but changing to Morley .

Wouldn't happen to be about aliens and a government conspiracy by any chance?

 

[Raptor013]

With a new season, comes new chances to improve on the old.

As some of you know, for the past two seasons I've been putting together a race broadcast for the series. Last season I started to introduce a graphics package showing which battle group was being shown, what lap it was (as the race leader crossed the control line), etc.

One of the elements I want to improve on this season is the grid presentation. For the past two seasons I've done a fly over of the grid sitting on track which to be honest, given the nature of some of the tracks we race on and the grid being sometimes spread across multiple corners has never )in my opinion) looked that good.

And with the addition of @llNovalls Spotters Guide this season, I believe I've come up with a better way to present the starting grid.

Below is a sample of what I intend to do. All I'll need is for everyone to make the livery they wish to run available for me to grab a copy of via GT Sport and I'll take care of the rest.

Most likely I won't include the driver. And given that this Scapes background has a bit too much noise in the background so I''ll find a more suitable one.

<deadpan look> I can neither confirm nor deny Spooky .

Can you add liveries so that only people on the friends list can access them? Some liveries it would be just too irresponsible to set free .

I think that would look great.

Even with the driver would be cool. Almost like they are doing an old the grid interview before the race .

Even if people are using a livery created by someone else it could be possible if they share the livery on their own "timeline" so you could pick it up then?



Little things like this make me even more excited running these series. @Raptor013 and @llNovall you really do bring it to life!

That could work as well. As if people want the driver in, it's not possible for me to add their driver in without also having their helmet and race suit.

Plus that way everyone can choose a scapes theme from one of the many pit lane and paddock options and personalize it for themselves.

@GTP_Guido

Really suits the 911.

 

[Invisigoth]

OK, I have shared the livery for friends only. It's a modified Brock livery with a few decals removed, a few added, and the day glow orange changed to the standard Morley red.

BTW @paoloevans , Morley has shown up in other places besides *that* series
