Gran Turismo World Series

[Hasnain282]

Test Seasons for the Gran Turismo World Series are up in game. Will be the usual Nations and Manufacturers and they will run on alternating days from 21st-29th March (no race on Wednesday 23rd).
Nations has all 4 rounds as the Mazda Roadster at Tsukuba and Manufacturers has 4 different combos.
From what I've heard, each manufacturer only has 1 car available in each class

There's no way to check Race Settings for each round but here's screenshots of the schedules taken from the website.

Maybe they'll have a news article about the season at some point but I guess they've got bigger things on their agenda right now

Can find more information in the manual

Race Settings for Round 1. Looks like shorter races for now

All 4 rounds of Nations is the same? That seems off. OTOH it's probably my strongest track so I can't complain.

And don't wide-body your cars or you need to buy another.

Is the timing of these races new for this iteration? I would have been able to do the very latest races in a day after, say 9:30pm, but with the final races being held at 8pm this part of the game is now inaccessible to me without reorganising my life to a heavy degree. Not going to change my life sure, but it's a minor disappointment having enjoyed the GTS FIA events.
