Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Preview: Comeback Tour​

After more than two years of disruption, Gran Turismo’s celebrated live events return this weekend, with Red Bull Hangar-7 playing host to the World Series Showdown...

Is this a new initiative to get Twitch streamers to broadcast the event?

 

[Baka_Marimo]

So, are they actually going to livestream the entire thing this time or can we expect another "live stream" of a recording?

Live events are live. Online events are not. This is a live event, so it is live.

Nice, being "live" live makes a big difference to the watchability of these events in my opinion.

Miyazono has pulled out from the Showdown due to illness.

Watch Live: 2022 Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Manufacturers Cup​

The first live event of the Gran Turismo 7 era gets underway today, with the World Series Showdown Manufacturers Cup...

I've picked Porsche - although Kokubun/Fraga/Moysov is a pretty beastly lineup at Toyota - and Jehoul for my Bonus Campaign selections this time round.

 

[Zero2Oblivion]

I picked Subaru and locked it in...the day before they announced Miyazono was out.

Nice.

Miyazono has pulled out from the Showdown due to illness.

More troubles: Nicolas Romero's PCR test read up positive and he's sitting out too, with Manuel Rodriguez subbing in.

Nice.

I did the same as you let hope for the best, but bop on Subaru is still up there, did they Announce his replacement

 

[Famine]

If Genesis is allowed a sub, surely Subaru is also?

Although Genesis's sub was regional #2 for the brand and already there because he qualified to Nations. Wonder if they'll draft Mikail Hizal in for Subaru, since he's also there

 

[tankuroded]

Miyazono will not be replaced.


EDIT: Daetz (Mazda) also apparently out with COVID.

 

[Famine]

The pre-stream countdown music is ludicrously stressful. It sounds like a malfunctioning ECG.

Also updated... well, spotter's guide, I guess.

 

[Guffaluff]

Interesting to see they're still on Thrustmaster equipment.

 

[O604]

I love this team/change driver format. Would be fun to see a race between teams that train together full time. With everyone in the same car.

 

[Arkseven]

These liveries are really nice!

 

[Ryan Dungey]

I wonder if we will get any news or hints about future content

 

[Arkseven]

One does not simply RUIN THE INTRO

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wow, even the World Tour is glitchy.

 

[Arkseven]

Hey, I want Red Flag on my custom races!

 

[Real_StiFex]

Oups messy messy
Red flag in GT7 confirmed available

 

[Canucks_9419]

Not even stable enough for a LAN event! What a great look for the FIA to see....

 

[Dibs]

I can see why FIA pulled out. Hopefully these things (among other issues) will get fixed ASAP.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Can't believe PD infected my choice with Covid, just to rob me of credits and force me to use MTX's.

 

[Coiler]

What a joke...

 

[Nathaniel_Wu]

I wonder how they are gonna restart the race, maybe they'll just start a new race with reduced laps and the current order of cars

 

[Auditore]

Kinda weird how unstable gt7 is,isn't it the same code as GT Sport?

 

[Pigems]

 

[MatskiMonk]

isn't it the same code as GT Sport?

No
