the 2018 FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championships are underway and live

[K32]

I’ll only be able to do four races, so better make them count

But there are only 4 races for this season, what do you mean?

Reckon I can only do 4 races in each cup

Viper gr4 and megane trophy are also op.

Viper Gr4 is OP? What Viper Gr4 are you driving?

Believe me, 80% of the players will pick Dodge/Renault/Toyota.

What? I am usually the only Viper in any given race ever. I don't know why you think everyone chooses it.

Hi guys. My first post here on this forum but i was reading a lot of your posts.

Anyway, it's a shame as well that Croatia isn't (?) eligible for the FIA Championship, as we have very good and fast drivers (Zoky, PhaedrusSocrates, ivann_11, just to name a few, sorry if i skipped some of the guys out there). I was as well looking forward to the FIA Championship practicing, testing out different manufacturers, etc; but seeing this just made me really sad, not just for myself as i think i am not as competitive as my co-nationals and other top running guys.

I hope its just provisory and that they will update soon the eligible countries (Italy aswell with some very fast drivers).

Please PD do something

My bad, assumed it was 8 rounds but if it’s best 2 out of 4 I can do the 27th and 30th

Luxembourg isn't include either. A guy from Luxembourg was in the team that won the manufacturer's race at the World Tour Event.

So besides Italy, Croatia and Luxembourg, any other countries being left out for no good reason?

Slovenia, Turkey, Greece and probably some more.
But we do have Kuwait, Libanon and Oman

 

[sihpmo]

so many countries not eligible, what are they doing?

Dude. They didn't even bother to put Antarctica on the map.

 

[Tou2istTrophy]

Where’s the schedule of the races?

It would be good if we got new content out of this.

The Viper is actually amazing with the current BoP. It's a top tier Gr.4 on almost every track and is pretty easy to drive. The fuel economy and tire wear are decent as well. It's my favorite car in the game currently.

 

[Haitauer]

I was expecting a patch before the beginning of the FIA official events

Theres a lot of OP cars/manufacturers, the penalty system is far from ready.

If this thing really starts without some of these changes, it's going to be a mess.

GTS at this current form is not ready imo.

BOP is never perfect and might change during season. Just heared GTEPro Ford driver complain about BoP in LeMans 24h.. 👍

Its pretty good, but I definitely wouldn't call it OP

 

[ionstriker]

Quick question, would appreciate it if someone would help me out on this. I'm from India and since India isn't on the list of eligible countries, does that mean there won't be any regional finals here? Or is it just for the star registration form? Its a Shane that India isn't included though.

 

[Michelin]

You're tied throught out 2018 for the manufacturer season?

Great, I was going with Mclaren anyway. Car I'm used to driving in both Gr. 3 and 4 classes. The 650S Gr.4 is a great car, it's a top 3-5 car every race with a chance to win every so often.

 

[NommyNom]

Looks like i'll have little competition if i choose Bugatti.

The Veyron Gr.4 doesn't have a Gr.3 counterpart, so you can't choose Bugatti. Sorry.

So I am guessing that points will be changing format. Found at bottom of this page.

 

[Flaren89]

So, no Italy on FIA championship. So, main reason I actually purchased the game is not available in my country. So, it will keep stay on the shelves of my bookcase. Wondering why I even purchased the Collector's Edition, considering I still never received the Peugeot 908 and Safety cars.

That’s the points they are allcoating to manufacturers to decide which ones are in the global final, player points will be the same as they are now I think.

Something I can only wish.

 

[Turok134]

I wish i knew why Romania is not eligible.....

 

[garix]

I am happy the seasons starts, but WHY so many races in July and August when people will be on vacation? I planned from 8th till 22nd of August, so I am likely gonna miss 5 races in the final season

 

[Evolist]

Slovenia, Turkey, Greece and probably some more.
But we do have Kuwait, Libanon and Oman

Also Ukraine is not in the list.

Polyphony are a powerful games developer. I really don't think they are going to try and work around you and some others who go on holiday. They expect people to work around them if they are truly committed to making the Finals.

Esports champions don't need holidays.

Haven’t actually loaded up the game to make sure but the news you’re locked into your choice of manufacturer until the end of year is excellent. Will encourage people to choose the cars they’re the most comfortable with or the brand they have pride in rather than what’s hot or what everyone else is using, and it’ll be interesting racing against the same group of people in the same cars every series

 

[PSDazmaniac]

Game is way off being E-Sport ready. Penalty system is still a joke.

Get rammed by an opponent and get hit by a 10 second slowdown penalty. Obviously makes sense to PD.
