I forgot when I did this exactly but there was a GT5/6 league where I did some writeups about races I participated in. Obviously, it covered what I did but I also checked the replays and asked drivers about their pespectives. It might've taken me an hour or two to get the stuff together and I believe I even took some photos of key moments.Maybe but they've gone and made the 'Championship' track limits even more strict for this Season so even more penalties
Lot of us guys have been coming up with all sorts of theories trying to work out what they're up to with this seemingly slapdash approach. Root of the problem might be they don't have dedicated staff for the FIA side of things in the 3 regions. Might explain why the multiple accounts are still unpunished as well. You can't run an effective championship without people involved full time in running it. Those Live Reports seem like they are written by an intern armed with Google Translate whilst everyone's buggered off for a lunch break
What I'd suggest they'd do is for covering the 'normal' rounds they could do a roundup the following day or so. They capture every top split race anyway, so they could look at the key moments in each round and establish a narrative for the championship to get people invested and interested throughout. As things stand these normal rounds get completely forgotten about yet they are so important as to who qualifies for the T24 races and therefore spots to the final.
For the T24 races they should start the livestream half an hour before Nations starts, then once Nations and Manufacturers is finished they can spend time afterwards analysing both races and contacting some of the players for their perspective. Watch any sporting broadcast and it follows the same principle. Build Up > Event > Analysis/Interviews. They do it because otherwise it is just a bunch of faceless randoms which you can't really get behind.
Same approach as before for this Season and barely anyone will actually know the guys racing in the Finals. They've got a good concept in getting behind your fellow countrymen (or women, you never know) or rooting for your favourite manufacturer. They need to actually exploit that more.
I'm just saying that PD has far more resources in their disposal than I did back then, so I would think it wouldn't be that difficult to put something nice together on a regular basis. I mean, just look at everyone that puts out content on YouTube. If anything, this community is doing the bulk of promoting this series. Must we do everything for them?
I'm in that camp where my mind and reflexes just can't ignore that feeling that the setting does indeed do something. The only theory I have is that the setting is only perceptible with subtle wheel movements, something that falls more under my driving style. I did test out the setting with the karts and my fastest times were with -2 but we're talking maybe two tenths on average. I don't know what to make of that other than anything that makes me faster I'll be doing, even if it may not actually do anything.
Now, I was only intending to do a bit of FIA practice today but I ended up doing around 5-7 full distance races. Some were quite fun, especially the last kart race of the night. I'll be uploading a few of those races eventually but I'm crossing my fingers the real deal is as much fun as today's practices.
I'm uploading a replay later
sorry to hear that. The connections recently seem to be really messed up. Not only am I hearing it here, even my teammates keep complaining about it. PD should do something to fix this it's been many updates now
