Gran Turismo’s 2022 Online Championship Announcement Date is Not What We Expected
With the final races of the 2021 Exhibition Series in the Gran Turismo Online Championship set to take place in around 24 hours, the announcement of a start date for the 2022 championship has caused something of a stir...
Maybe there was a contract that ran out, not unlike the TAG-Heuer case. Either way, it’d be nice if GT7 both has an official timekeeper again and gets FIA endorsement. But then again, I wonder if the FIA was even really all that involved with GTS, let alone the FIAGTCs, beyond a name-drop and some potential badging.I don't really know if I should be worried or happy about the FIA apparently not sponsoring the championships anymore.
Maybe PD were locked into a very narrow corridor for them by the FIA and they can now pretty much do what they want in terms of regulations for these, could mean some cool races coming. They were definitely mixing things up a bit more for the daily races, that could be a direction for the online championship as well.
...like about every other branding that has ever been in Gran Turismo sadlyEither way, it’d be nice if GT7 both has an official timekeeper again and gets FIA endorsement. But then again, I wonder if the FIA was even really all that involved with GTS, let alone the FIAGTCs, beyond a name-drop and some potential badging.
It also should hopefully end the myth/misblame of FIA interference in fictional tracks' redesigns - this has been a going on myth for the life of GTS.If the FIA nomenclature disappears for GT7, then we can no longer use them as a reason for terrible penalty systems. Maybe it's just a contractual thing. Or maybe PD figured out that real life interpretations of the FIA rules don't translate well to a digital platform.
I didn't know that was happening. I've seen people get their panties in a twist regarding real tracks in the game. The FIA can't police what doesn't exist though.It also should hopefully end the myth/misblame of FIA interference in fictional tracks' redesigns - this has been a going on myth for the life of GTS.
There could still be some truth to it, maybe PD changed them to better please the FIA to aid negotiations?It also should hopefully end the myth/misblame of FIA interference in fictional tracks' redesigns - this has been a going on myth for the life of GTS.
I don't think we need Tag Heur though... I miss seeing it say "Seiko" as an official time keeper anyway 😉Maybe there was a contract that ran out, not unlike the TAG-Heuer case.

Indeed. Like I said in one of the other topics, there has been little to no growth over four years of these events. GTS ownership has steadily gone from 0 to ~14m in those four years but participation and viewership of the Sport Mode has remained mostly stagnant. No sign of any growth at all.I can see why the FIA partnership wouldve been ended if it has. Ultimately the tour finals have had 2000 people tune in. I dont see the value either party gets from it.
For most part, people emphasized on the "will take place on GT Sport" and assumed that the GT7-era championship will be still run under FIA partnership.Watch the FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships World Finals this weekend

Do tell us more. I've heard the FIA being accused of a lot of things but money laundering is a first.The FIA is basically a money laundering scheme anyway.
Any time rich people exchange lots of money with other rich people you can bet there is lots of fraud going on. Look at the Olympics or FIFA.Do tell us more. I've heard the FIA being accused of a lot of things but money laundering is a first.
So you've gone from a statement of "FIA is a money laundering scheme, good riddance" to "Well they're a rich organisation, it's probably happening".Any time rich people exchange lots of money with other rich people you can bet there is lots of fraud going on. Look at the Olympics or FIFA.
So you've gone from a statement of "FIA is a money laundering scheme, good riddance" to "Well they're a rich organisation, it's probably happening".
With that extremely limited scope for it happening then there must be money laundering going on at every rich business in the world.
If you're going to specifically accuse a company though, you're gonna need some evidence.I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Have you seen housing valuations and the crypto market? Where there is lots of money there is fraud and money laundering going on.
