I just turned the game on and what do I see?

Because @TRL LIGHTNING won Nations the game rewards us germans with 200.000 credits, and since he won manufacturers also the reward for this is 5000 mil. points!

👍

Oh no I missed out on mileage points whatever will I do

 

[Krypton78]

Its new because din't he won in season 1 nations or manu, not sure which, also?

So this reward is new

Well for some reason i only got the reward from the Nations cup lol.

Because you're capped on Mileage Points which cancels any mileage point rewards you get

Okay that would explain it haha

Everyone should be getting credits for participating. Like 1000x your points. Score 5000 points, get 5,000,000 credits. Score 500, get 500,000.

Would be a good incentive to get people participating and retain current players,

They need a watch incentive more than a play incentive, with the FIA Championships the overall goal is to create spectator sport, the problem is they are so slack on advertising and broadcasting the races that they've failed to get anyone invested. Nurburgring World Tour was a good example, next to no promotion advertising the stream, with the playerbase this game gets they should be shooting for much higher viewership than what they got.

Something like twitch drops would be perfect for this game, watch 15 minutes of an event or more, get half a million in game, after all, would people rather grind Blue Moon or watch the FIA Championships? Exactly.

So the FIA Brands Hatch leaderboard has not been reset? I’m asking because @TRL LIGHTNING is not at the top

So what’s the general consensus on time difference with the new tyre model and track limits on Brands? My personal best pre patch was 1:23:10. Now I’m able to do 1:24:00. Does that sound about right?

Hahahaha xD
But as a tip, i started to set a lap today but i don't know if the guys in front of me were setting their times after or before the Update

They were before

I only watched RC Miura‘s lap. He runs very wide at Graham Hill bend which must have been a penalty with the new system.

 

[Mikail Hizal]

Hmm even alexony?

 

[Venster]

Just look on the ranking board when you're at the track as it shows the date set, 29/07 before update 30/07 after update

Hmm yeah that's reasonable then. Before the update i managed to do a 21.6 with the Renault here when they put the exact same combination back in season 2 ^^'

Now after the tt i lost at least a tenth there (22.6)

 

[Venster]

Difficult to gauge the time lost to the tyre model here as the limits changed as well, I don’t like the new limits at brands can’t see the need for them imo.

Neither do I as the track itself is already hard enough haha. But i guess it adds to the challenge i really want to succeed in the end hehe

 

[Krypton78]

About the top- races and events, I'm courios how they will continue after season 3 and the world-event. Will they do a break or continue with new cups, because there should be no more testseasons necessary

I hope they carry on with something, but I suspect there will be a gap in between the next one that has a live event.

The new Brands limits are annoying and stupid. Since Brands is in literally every other racing game, there’s a very specific way our brains have been tuned to drive it, and these new track limits throw a wrench in that since none of those other games have them

Agreed! Track limits should represent real life these don’t. It’s not the fact they make me slower it just ruins the flow of the track.

See I've always played by the rule two tires on the tarmac at all times even when track limits are set to be more forgiving.
So I'm not experiencing such a big difference at Brands that most are. Never thought that mindset would actually pay off some day and I know there are many others who practice those driving or track limitations too.

The only place I remember you could do that was graham hill bend before. That one isn’t so bad, its through the middle section that imo they’ve gone to strict.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Sorry to drag you all off the subject of track limits but did any of you have a problem uploading replays of your
FIA races from Season 1 or Season 2 specifically Circuit De La Sarthe,

Both my races from the track refuse to upload with the game uploader, it simply gets to 96% and then resets back to
0% and starts again.

I have my share replay videos of them which is okay but really wanted to check this before I post is as a possible
bug, had no problems with any other videos from the two seasons uploading.

Sounds about right with a 22.6 vs a 21.6. I was absolutely on it on my 22.7 wondering what the hell had happened and why I as so far off rank 1 to realise they were prepatch times haha! Spent an hour to get that 22.7 as well!

Had a break from GT for a few days just because I know what's coming up with the amount of playtime.

I used to be somewhere below a 22.5 with the RS01. Best time so far now is a 23.4 but it's closer to a 23 flat adjusting for track limits. Brands is a shorter track so I'm expecting about 1~2 second loss across the board. Obviously, everyone will experience different time losses or even gains based on skill level.

 

[J.D]

Today i received 200,000 cr. reward thanks to that i'm Nissan driver even if i don't drive FIA races. Nissan won one of the FIA races.

Roughly about the same for me, lost about a second, not spent any great time there yet though and if I hooked up a decent lap I reckon I could improve my time difference to the top ten pre patch.

 

[praiano63]

Sometime i take 0,600 to o,800 penalty putting my 2 inners tires out of the red white strip of Graham Hill bend , sometime i pass this limit more than this and don't take any penalties at all...
PS: I've lost 0,800 laptime with my 3 pre 1.23 ghost , 911 , Bettle and renault.

That's because saika159, who is from Hong Kong (or a Filipino with an HK account, you may never know!), won the Nations Cup in the Asia region. Same goes for the Germans in EMEA thanks to @TRL LIGHTNING being the champion of the Nations Cup.
