[MaddinICE]

what are the multipliers? did some blind testing last night and assumed 7/8 laps of le sarthe with 10x Tyres and 8x fuel. Worked out to a 4 lap stint in the 919 with fuel saving.

4x Fuel. 8x Tires for Le Mans Gr.1
5x Fuel, 9x Tires for Suzuka Gr.3

CSA and ASM not allowed for upcoming seasons.

CSA ban is a good move, and will definitely throw some people off at least initially. Then again ASM ban is maybe a bit too much, especially for more casual players. ASM only slows you down massively (this was the case in GT5/6, haven't tried it in GTS) while keeping you on track.

Hopefully they don't ban TC or ABS in the future

I wasn't too far off on tyres, either I remembered fuel wrongly or I'm miles off haha, thanks for that

I'm not a fan of the 'searching for highest rated lobby' system.
I think if the lobby is all A+/S they should just reward the same amount of points for everybody in each lobby.
The former is like saying, 'Man Utd have beaten Man City, so let's give them more points than Liverpool who beat Everton'

 

[eAxis Patohm]

A+/S is not like A+/S - there are big differences, even in Rankings (50 - 75 k).

Why not messure it not correctly if PD have the data?

I just think there could be a better solution for the current format. Perhaps 62.5k-75k should have its own rank.

What do you think the lowest DR will be for the top lobby? 70,000?

 

[eAxis Patohm]

60 k is my guess ^^

It was like around 60 k in earlier Top 24 Superstarraces, and there is normally even more Top People in one Lobby.

If there will be a time everyone will Play, People will try to get to other times with "weaker" players, since you nearly got mno Points with bad finishing positions. So the Slots will cancel each other out (in the end) ^^

And still: If you win the "strongest" race of the day, you deserve to be Number 1 for this day!

Finals will be decided in Superstarraces anyways! Where all good Play together! So no Problem in the end ^^

Agreed. It will be interesting to see when everyone races.
Good luck for tonight by the way. I can see you doing a great strategy that nobody else does, giving you the win

Good news.

Hopefully they don't ban TC or ABS in the future

If they fix the brakes without ABS I can stand a ban to it, a TC ban would be pretty much stupid, besides formulas almost every racing series allow TC on cars.

 

[flamingchariot]

yes, goooood

It simply isn't comparable. Because in your example, Man Utd will eventually also face Everton. And Man City will also eventually face Liverpool.

In GT Sport, you have one race, and you only race against 19 others that round.

A race with 20 drivers who are A+, but all above 70,000 DR, clearly should offer more points than a race with 20 drivers between 50-60K DR, even though all A+ then. The quality of the field is mathematically stronger, hence making it harder to finish higher up, and hence should be more rewarding. Simple.

 

[flamingchariot]

yes, goooood

Not sure this is a good thing to be honest. Its just another part of the game that's locked up. Never played such a "dictatorial" racer in my life. If this is the future Kaz you can suck on it

Then you really haven't played many games then.

It isn't a dictactorship to ban the use of 2 assists for the official FIA Licensed championships. Grow up. This is meant to be a test to see who is the best of the best, hence testing people with the limited assists.

Why would allowing assists that don't even exist suddenly be 'dictatorial' when the very purpose of the championship is to close the gap between reality and gaming as well as finding a true fastest gamer?

CSA is scifi

 

[SestoScudo]

Won my first Fia race with GR1 on Lemans just now!!!!

Booyah!!!!!

That Audi R18 2016 is one underrated car. I would recommend this car 100%

 

[LotusEvoraGTE]

Qualified 4th, only to get slammed off track by an LM55 by the turn after the two chicanes, thrown all the way to third last.

Good start to the season.

 

[Daverbx]

No CSA?
No ASM?
Finally!!!!!!

When you write a game like Gran Turismo Sport please let me know so I can tell you what your rules should be.

 

[LewyMan]

Just had a go at Manufacturer race in the Mustang, qualified 12th, finished 8th, 321 points. I had a clean race, rather enjoyable. Now for La Sarthe!

 

[ColinNZ]

Had a go at the manufacturer's race in the Lexus. Started 9th, finished 6th and bagged 849 points. Had a blast. 👍

 

[shnooby2]

How long is qualifying? Is it still 10 minutes like before? That would only be enough time for 1 lap with a warmup lap on lemans

Good work, willing to say your pit/fuel strategy? I played with 3 to 4, and pitted for tyres 1 lap after halfway and then 1 in the second stint

You're still around? Figured you had been banned by now. Maybe next time.

Was on fuel map 1 the whole way, short shifting and stealing a bit of draft from those just in front. Stopped for some much needed tires at the halfway point, along with an extra 3 laps of fuel, and stayed out of trouble the rest of the way.

 

[05XR8]

Why cant Arcade races have the Practice qualifying, then, Qualifier, then race? Makes this so immersive. First time doing the Manufacturer's Series. Really cool.

Oh and the drivers introductions are cool.

 

[zaxs]

No CSA?

Finally!!!!!!

Good step.
Only main thing missing: cocpit camera lock

I see Giorgio is playing with his Italian account - big respect and thumbs up for loyalty!

It is 10 minutes. It should be 15 to 20 minutes to be honest.

You gotta get a one shot, one hit on the qualifying if not you will start in the back. I could have qualified on pole had to settle for second as I lost time thanks to the traffic.
