This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

Probably.The Manufacterer's Situation is very interesting. I'm guessing with driver changes not being a thing in GT Sport (Something only a in-person event could work around), they'll have to resort to just using the single best drivers in the world for each make overall.
Yeah, how they'll get the full team of drivers involved is going to be a real doozy. They'd have to completely change the format.The Manufacterer's Situation is very interesting.

...to be streamed at a later date on the Gran Turismo YouTube channel.

The only way I can think of that allows everyone to take part would be to have 4 races. For the first three, each driver does an individual race and they accumulate points as normal for their team.
After those races, the top 4 manufacturers would proceed to a final race where each manufacturer has 3 cars, allowing all the team drivers to contribute to the result. That would potentially bring its own problems though...
The rules only say that all players must use a T-GT. I assume this means they have been sent out, because the alternative is that players without one and unable to buy one (which is everyone, as they're effectively unavailable right now) are not allowed to race.So where are the drivers are required to use the same wheel, for anyone who doesn't already have it will Sony/PD ship them one each to their house? Also I wonder if every player will need some sort of face cam.
No stream, only broadcast. I originally said in the article that they would be streamed (so if you think you saw that, you aren't going mad!), but I was told later that they would be broadcast at a later date so I amended the article.Anyone know what time the EMEA final is on today then? If it's streaming that is?
Edit: Nevermind, broadcast later
I believe he writes for the gaming section of a national NZ newspaper, so...I noticed on Twitter today that Si Bishop tweeted that he just platinumed Miles Morales on the PS5, which means he must have had one for a little while now. He doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would get one for review purposes (please don't judge me for thinking that), so...

Of course it doesn't mean you're wrong, but I wouldn't expect anything too big.that would explain it
Do we have any idea yet on when the EMEA Regionals will be uploaded to YouTube? Been aching to watch

It does say in the rules that Polyphony Digital has provided a face cam to everyone.

FYI guys Toyota GR Supra World finalists ARE NOT receiving a TGT steering wheel. How do I know? Because im one of them. I asked why this was the case they said "toyota doesn't require it". Huh? I thought this was a gran turismo/FIA competition. Stupid assumption on my part. Apparently they don't care about equality or parity when it comes to this particular series. How can they ensure a fair competition this way, I have no idea.
Honestly im a little pissed and bemused. It was bad enough missing out on the real world tour experience because of covid bs, now I find out all my efforts earned me was a free t-shirt when everyone else gets a TGT. How many different ways can I say the word cheap? If those guys get a PS5 too im gonna flip my lid lol.
Oh well. I just take my logitech driving force gt that I used to qualify with and just easily beat the other 20 fastest supra drivers in the world, no problem right .
I hate to reply to my own post but I thought everyone deserved an update on this situation. The Business Development Manager for Gran Turismo (I wont share her name, but the gtplanet staff and world tour guys know her) stepped up for us Supra guys and got us the TGT. I politely requested this on behalf of all the Supra players. Big thanks to her for understanding, responding, and coming through.
