Welcome to the 2022 GT Planet World GT Challenge.

The 2022 season may be the farewell tour for GT Sport (depending on the online servers), before a planned move across to GT7.

Our new season will also introduce scheduled grid starts for selected events were the track layout is a disadvantage to those starting towards the rear of the grid.

We also have the return of the "Super Sprint" format with the Gr.4 cars and a reverse grid race.

Driver Classing:

Continuing for this Season driver classing will be determined by your GT Sport DR and your Speedscore % on Kudosprime.

Once you have submitted your entry I will look up your profile on Kudosprime and determine your class.

Kudosprime Speedscore % = Class

Above 70% = PRO
50%-70% = Silver
Below 50% = AM

Silver and AM Classes:

Points will be awarded as normal for the overall finishing position but seperate points will be also awarded for the Silver and AM standings.

The points will be 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.

Might need to make you run extra ballast for any Grid Starts, given your lightning starts. You're even scaring me, and I'm normally the one that gets the jump on people at the lights.

Thank you guys for the race and congratulations for @Raptor013 :) . Perfect race. QF, win, FL.
My first QF lap was so shocking, after that I couldn't run a normal lap XD . Btw I think it wasn't me being good, you guys became "slower" - GT7 has a different physics engine.
The car was great again but the tire wear (long corners :( ) kicked in at lap 7(!) and I was all over the place for 1-2 laps until I get used to the tired tires.

Even so Dex "that lap" you did was mega impressive. I struggled a bit with consistency but I was no match for @Raptor013 at Interlagos. Wanted to win that little bit extra as its the home track of Felipe Massa (my racing hero 😁).

I've got a feeling @Raptor013 will have the advantage at the Nurburgring also but we'll see. It's Le Mans weekend for Round 2 so that will give me an extra incentive to be fired up!!

Great to get the season up and running.

@Kuraudo you're definitely becoming more consistent. Less mistakes, faster lap pace, it all adds up. There will come a day when we won't be able to break away from you during a race. To be honest it's something I'll be looking forward to as I enjoy close racing.

@paoloevans I've no idea where my pace at Interlagos came from. I usually have a mid to late race drop off, or I'm recovering from an early error. None of that happened this time out. I know my race wasn't perfect (a couple of small errors), but overall I was simply in a groove. Although I did think that the Ferrari should have had the race pace to keep it closer than it was.

To be honest, I think the amount of driving I've been doing in GT7 has helped despite the difference in physics.

As for Nurburgring. I have a love hate relationship with that place. I love running on the 24 Hour layout. The GP track not so much, unless I'm in a Gr.4 car.
 
Thank you guys :) . Probably the fact that I drive only the NSX for 3(?) seasons helps a little bit to get faster every time. I was only 33 sec behind @paoloevans? I had a BIG spin at the end of the 22th lap (yes, I was stupid) and still only 33 sec? It won't happen at Nurb GP XD . So many hard sections and tricky corners.

Hi guys.

It's been a while, I've been racing in some other places of late. I sometimes see Paolo's liveried pop up in the showcase and wondered what was going on.

I'd like to join you for a few races if I may. Would that be ok?
