Gran Turismo World Series Showdown Preview: Dutch Courage

After a flurry of online competition earlier in the year, the time is now upon us for the first of 2023's two championship-deciding live events at the Gran Turismo World Series Showdown in Amsterdam. Surprisingly, given that Polyphony Digital has offices in the city, it's the first time that Amst

It does not; there isn't even a "U" in Greenwich.

It stands for "Coordinated Universal Time" (yes, even though the letters are in a different order) and is a time standard rather than a time zone.
 
@moby323

You could go to youtube and find the Gran Turismo channel, look for your language, and it shows the time (I believe for your time zone).
You can even have it set a reminder for you (at least on the iOS app)

Should have quoted the most important part: variable weather. Makes me excited!

Is it the first time that a Gran Turismo competition is having variable weather?

No, it happened in last year's final at Spa.


Edit: I should also note that you have until the race actually starts to make your prediction, so you can watch superpole first...

I just opened the live stream inside GT7 and closed after 2 seconds. The screen now says "Entry Submitted". Let's see whether this got counted and I will get the engine roulette ticket.
 
It is so cool to see many 'famous' names in the youtube chat like nenkai, mistah_mca, vvg nismo, omega, etc. :dopey:

Watching on youtube directly is definitely the way to go. Even 1080p60fps on my computer monitor is higher quality than on my 4K TV through GT7.

I voted for Toyota here. The poll should still be open as long as qualifying is going on, I believe.

That AMG lineup is stacked too. Might see them move up the order in the race if they have a smooth performance.
 
still room for surprises tomorrow? Nations cup has unnanounced track....

Why aren't they using the PSVR2? Seems like a great opportunity for Sony to showcase the technology.

It would make driver changes a lot harder, and not everyone is comfortable in VR.
 
With only 35 laps and 2x tires, there will be just one pit, right? And if yes, when they will get to cycle through everyone of 3 drivers?

Edit: Just got answer on youtube chat- every driver must drive at least 6 laps and the drivers can only change during pit.

They have to use all 3 drivers, and there's going to be rain.
 
Miyazono with the authentic BRZ Daily Race experience of almost getting done into turn one there.
 
I may not be watching it correctly but this race looks dirtier than my typical B/S lobby races. So many punting everywhere. And those punts are apparently okay according to stewards.
