Just like Monza basically. And just like Monza, people will try to dive from 300m away and turn into you as if you do not exist anymore on the second part of the chicane. I'm already pretty sure at one point in this race, one person will try that and push me on the grass and the game will give me a penalty for that.

Funny how those people race like their opponents are AI,they bump you,they block you and even use you as a brake like your car is just AI in a offline racing game.

What is going on xD! I want to create the largest PUG train in history!

 

[GT_Alex74]

When ?! I want to be part of the train !

I'm not sure yet, it will be 1 of the later slots as I'm working all day, So 4th or 5th

I don't know exactly how will work, but count me in. Whatever you need!

 

[mclarenLB]

I don't know exactly how will work

Short Answer: It won't

 

[Lost Sheltie]

That's unfair, it will work perfectly well for qualifying and for the 1st 2 laps of the race, and then someone will punt him off at the chicane when his tyres have gone off and they are desperate to get by.

PUGPOWER!!!!

PUGPOWER!!!!

You can 2 stop at Yamagiwa without losing basically any time, But that Pug is just destined for 9th at best Its just the way it is

This sounds like the story of the GR.4 Subaru

 

[mclarenLB]

Teach me how to 2 stop

Its only worth it if your car absolutely chews tyres, i.e Gr3 MR or Gr4 FF

 

[Lost Sheltie]

I think the tyres on my VW Scirocco will last ok with just 1 stop, going by the test race I did last night in a lobby. Ended up beating a guy by 0.018 secs, so was a fun race. I would expect the other FF cars to really struggle though.

Went ahead and threw this together since I haven't seen anyone post the current manufacturer rankings.

Much Appreciated, that's a SPICY battle for Manufacturer P16 going on there, Derek carrying VW by himself

As I expected Chevrolet are pretty much 100% secure in the Top 16 now, World Finals here I come

I'm not counting Subaru out just yet! Maybe I am being overly optimistic, but there is still a chance!

I have also made a table and I compared it to the results posted by Cuber Tom
As you can see there are really some big changes possible. At the back it can easily come to a tie break and then the total points accumulated by all drivers for a manufacturer count. By the way, even Peugot is not out of the race since there are 2 asian drivers that can make up a lot of places (points) , same for VW. E = EMEA, As = Asia/Pac, Am Americas

edit: I just realize that we have some differences in the tables. I just realized that because of the tie break in some cases the positions slightly change. But to resolve the tie break you would have to download (copy paste) all results from all 3 regions (that takes too much time)

Yes, Derek is master piece!!! on Interlgos he will in top 3

The last T24 is Gr3 at Interlagos. It wouldn’t be shocking to see one of Saika or Kerokkuma getting massive points there and gain lots of places in the ranking.

 

[RZQSPEED]

Whoever's in Americas driving for Toyota (ORMA_Marko?) must be git gud to be with RC_Miura and yamado_racing38...

The Manufacturer's charts could be the end of @Tidgney 's PUG dream, unless Swallowtail can recoup some points in Gr.3 as he is driving the VGT compared to the former with the RCZ.

And according to a guy with an ARTA HSV-010 avatar, either Saika or Kerokkuma can pull a Derek and limp Subaru to the Top 16, so that @BLKJ Evolution and @Jamie Ducie can go with either of them...

I don't know what happened to Kazunokota to be honest, while @GT_Alex74 is busy fighting with VP_Bellof956 and VP_Marcolah for Mazda in EMEA, and let's not talk about Americas, shall we?

Lexus is weird, as it's currently a midpack manufacturer in Americas (FT_5zigen?) and EMEA (@SkyPikmin or if possible, Fab99Gd), while Kawakana222 is scoring some massive points in Asia, and it's also helped slightly by @Sidawg2 pulling out from Manufacturers as a Lexus driver.

That Americas Aston Martin driver may killed Hein2_HHF and @Cuber Tom 's chances for the Manufacturers World Final. Probably down due to the Vantages, though the Gr.4 car could be strong in Power tracks like Monza for example.

Not yet, If @Cuber Tom can get into the Round 10 Top 24, he'll leap up the standings.

At least that T24SS could give those manufacturers that are on the verge of elimination a chance. Derek for VW could be in for the shot as well! And so are those two VP guys driving for Mazda fighting for the top position in the manufacturer's EMEA charts.

The battle to watch in the EMEA Top 24 is @mthomas_95 vs. maatu79 for the Ferrari Top Spot, that race will be the decider for who the EMEA Ferrari representative is.

 

[vvise]

Not surprised to see that Ford dropped off. They nerfed the gr4 fuel usage so hard it's impossible to keep up.

 

[Cuber Tom]

I think people are reading a bit too much into the current standings. The final superstars race is going to be worth about 12000 points so the standings could completely change.
There will be some manufacturers who make it purely from having a good race.

I hope I actually get to run a superstars race. No disconects please.

I could very easily gain a few more positions for Subaru here in the American region and add a few more points onto the total. Unfortunately, my race at Monza, which would have been a high finish, was ruined by another driver (Not sure if they are on here or not). I would imagine that its the same situation for my fellow Subaru drivers overseas.

The main issue with the Subaru is the accelerated tire wear absolutely destroys the pace of the GR.4 WRX, which makes it almost useless in competition. You can see which races were GR.4 by just looking at the top Asian and European driver's scores.

I completely agree with this. I just think it is fun to see where the the current standings are.

I agree with you that the current standings do not show the final result. After comparing the table you prepared with the current situation I was actually surprised to see how much movement was possible. The final superstars race will certainly affect the position for the top 10-12 teams but they are pretty savely qualified anyway. For the manufactures that have an imbalanced points distribution over the regions it will be very interesting to see who will make up finally position 16. So far it seems that still all manufactures have a chance but not everything will be decided in the superstars race but there are some drivers currently in position 150 to 180 in their regions that could change the point allocation quite a bit and finally decide which manufacturer will go to the finals.

Oh, I'm certain that will end well.

To think I don't do well at Interlagos. Jomas and I gonna need to pull off a miracle with the Jag.

No the Ford is good but most of the top ford drivers have just stopped participating, in the America’s region at least. I had a chance at podium in almost every race but always ended up almost 2 seconds off my practice time in qualifying for one reason or other and then I just repeatable fell victim to the hordes of animals bashing their way through everybody. If I could qualify as well as I was able I would have been up at the front scoring easy points like I did on season 2.

When I look at the Ford leaderboard a lot of the top guys bailed out early and a few that were left like myself eventually just got tired of the burnout and gta inspired racing etiquette and retired. It looks like the top drivers in many of the other manufacturers are deciding to stick it out for whatever reason so those manufacturers are going to outscore ford even though the ford is clearly a top 16 manufacturer on merit, in my view.
