Let it be forever known that I did actually win* at least one Nations and Manu season.

Also, I have proof somewhere but I've represented every Manufacturer in Gran Turismo since GT Sport except for two; Chevy and Toyota. That's why this incessant delay to get another season going is particularly frustrating. I want to knock that silly accomplishment off my list.




* Because it was an exhibition and all the aliens didn't even bother to show up
To me it's just an interesting exercise. But you're right in that it doesn't really give any context of "strength of field" or unique circumstances for many of those seasons, so I try to avoid drawing too many conclusions from it.

Likewise there are GTWS season winners who never qualified for a GTWS live event, and there are GTWS event qualifiers, event winners and World Championship winners who didn't ever win an online season either.
I did not expect Bonelli to already surpass Rubilar in total series wins
Nico won using 2 PSN accounts, so he has the most with 33 in total.

Funny enough, I actually "qualified" for GTWS Paris representing Lexus because of an exhibition season. Just so happened that the American winner from the first Finals couldn't make it to Paris, and so PD picked the Lexus winner of the last exhibition season as a substitute. Could not believe my luck. lMy first WT in Austria was also under somewhat similar circumstances.
Isn't this a violation of the rules of "one account only"
Technically, yes, but PD historically only really cared about using more than one account during official seasons.
 
Not sure what to make of it, but the ID on today's new time trial is significantly higher than last week's: 12341 versus 12257 for the US events. That's a jump of 84, which is bigger than usual. For comparison, the jump last was only a 5 (12252 to 12257) for last week's time trial. Could this be a sign that a new GTWS is on the way? I hope so.
Revisiting this, on noticing ID gaps between new TT this week: (July/August events only)
  • R34 Z-Tune @ Kyoto Yamagiwa: 12414
  • Japan National Prefectural Esports (12466) and TGR e-Motorsports Challenge League (12467) sits around here.
  • 4C Gr.4 @ Trial Mountain: 12477 (+63; +10 if accounting for the Japan-only TTs)
  • S13 Q's @ Streets of Willow: 12488 (+11)
  • RE Amemiya RX-7 @ Nurb GP: 12590 (+102)
  • R8 '07 @ Dragon Trail Gardens: 12624 (+34)
