Uneventful race, but man, Hizal showing his chops.
 
Hizal's hand is shaking but he looked completely calm through out the race.
 
Not every race can be a thriller. But I think starting the field closer and dry track might have helped.
 
Two from two for Hizal; what a smooth operation this is turning out to be for him so far.

Solis in the hot seat...

Why do the World Tour drivers get all the nice stuff before everyone else? Two by two rolling start, transparent Halo, new camera angles, cockpit cam with head movement, basically all DLC , etc..
I mean we all paid the same (more or less) for the game...

Because they need to test not only functionality but also crowd reaction? Having 60 players on site to get direct feedback from is a great tool to have

Special LAN build for esports, would have more features than the consumer version that may not have gone through enough QA testing to guarantee stability for all players when released to the public.

Some features may not have been integrated for all cars/tracks either, only the ones used in competition.

This race on wet Spa was really boring, no action at all, it was basically 12 people doing hot laps...

It was a good test, but didn't turn out to be as exciting as they probably thought.
 
Surely a Gr.1 version of the Lambo VGT is inevitable considering that it follows the same path as the McLaren Ultimate?

Speaking of Gr.1 VGTs... should be interesting to see how the third race plays out. Can Hizal maintain his stronghold round Le Sarthe?
 
Prepare for 6 laps of screaming. LM55 is up.
 
I think I would have started on mediums
 
Miyazono already shoots to the front! Nice move!

Now it's Beauvois… no, Hizal!

BEAUVOIS IN THE GRAVEL! Replay shows a sideways shove from Miyazono...

4-second penalty for Miyazono. Cody up to second... but not if Lopez has anything to do with it!
 
Everyone but Blazsan pits. I have a feeling he's going to be put at a major disadvantage against the rest...
 
Did anyone fill up? I don't think the commentator fuel strategy is correct at only 4 laps.
 
blazsan took a lot of fuel i think
 
Great recovery by Beauvois following that Lap 1 incident. The battle for second between Cody and Lopez looks fairly close, but it's advantage Cody as we enter the final lap...
 
Hizal is gonna have to have a pretty terrible Grand Final to lose this thing.
 
3 out of 3 for Hizal, doing an amazing job and almost has this in the bag. Feel like he needs Fraga there to battle with, as he himself wished.

But, one last race, double points, anything can happen!
 
Immense slipstreaming from Cody and Lopez there. Meanwhile, Hizal looks unstoppable...
 
That was a good fight between Latkovski and C. López on the last lap. And as expected, another easy win for Hizal.
 
First race got me excited, but Spa and Le Mans were both dreadful. To be fair Le Mans could have been eventful if Miyazono didn't ruin his and Beauvois' championships for some reason.
 
If I did the math correctly, Hizal is guaranteed to win as long as he finishes 4th or higher.

It's simple, just make it available only for the player car. We can't even acess the cockpit view of others in online races anyway.

Some features may not have been integrated for all cars/tracks either, only the ones used in competition.

Over the past almost two years, they have shown these angles on various cars and tracks. It doesn't seem difficult to implement them in the whole game.
