With that logic you'd appreciate or expect as a paying customer "next week we are heading to the xxxx, with a set of daily races for our committed sport mode players"I'm not sure why it requires a press release or PR "song and dance" either. Here's PD (yes, PD; this is written internally) notifying a change to Weekly Challenges:
I've made a video on what I've got up to in race B this week, (the thumbnail is what it looks like 🙈). Lots of fun was had by all!
I think we all dream of a world where that becomes the way to warm the tyres in the eSport races 😅Not even watched the video but backwards is the new meta strategy

That'd be lovely. But, as you say, doesn't happen.With that logic you'd appreciate or expect as a paying customer "next week we are heading to the xxxx, with a set of daily races for our committed sport mode players"
Again, no. Press releases come from the PR team, which is at SIE; PD has no real PR team and almost no external presence of any kind. Press releases from SIE regarding Gran Turismo are vanishingly rare.Sadly that never comes. PD send press release out around things that suit them.
I don't have one other than correcting misconceptions and untruths. The idea that PD notifies players of Daily Races (or pretty much anything) is one such misconception. Although we're both well aware that the information is posted ahead of the day through unlisted pages on the game's website (which appears to be a necessity for the game's integration with the site for now; so was the listing of raw DR/SR data until it was changed, quite on purpose, to stop this), we're also both well aware that this is extracted by third parties and disseminated rather than by PD itself.I think there is a cross over of how we communicate things or at least our agendas.
Again, no perspective and no opinion, just cold facts. I've said from the very beginning that PD does not notify people about Daily Race changes - because the entire point was that someone said they would and the fact is that they don't; that was the sum of the conversation and it did not need to be added to - and this has not changed. I'm not really interested in anything aside from correcting that original misconception, and nothing since then has altered it.Neither of us are right just highly opinionated from different perspectives.
Once more, you're welcome to cease any time you wish, but if you keep posting things like "PD send press release out" - which is not the case for pretty much anything (it barely does anything with regards to the press, aside from submit, as required, year-end financial reports to the kanpou) - I'm going to keep responding to correct them because we can't have people believing in things that aren't true and saying that it appeared on GTPlanet so it must be right.Can we leave this now please.
The races will change over, it's not a abandoned old game live GTS was for the last couple of years. It's happened before where they haven't leaked in advance and they come as a surprise on Monday morning, I think that's better since it doesn't give people a whole weekend to practice and work out which cars/strategy will be the meta.Still no news of next weeks races anywhere then, that’s a pain, I hope this doesn’t mean we are stuck for longer with these races, I remember towards the end, gt sport only changed monthly, which was amazing when they had gr4 sardegna A and DTG etc, but if we’re stuck on a race you can’t get on with, like race B this week for me, not too great
As a side note, come on England!!!!!!

The engine swap makes it easy for 70 year old non-professionals/aliens like me too!Well I take back what I said about race A. I did 5 races last night and every one of them I finished almost dead last. The engine swaps makes it easy for the professionals and aliens to grab wins.
If the races do not change by Monday morning like Brockie said then I am avoiding Race A like the plague!
That's why I'm afraid to get my rank higher than a B/C, because the A drivers can be dangerous and not nice to others on the track. They even hog most of the road and leave hardly no room for their opponents. I really hate Race A, I was in a lobby with one A, two B and mostly D drivers. One had a rank E so he must have been new.I have come to the conclusion that making Dr A is just not going to happen for me 🙈 I'm so close and tried my best yesterday but I just cannot catch a break at all. I spent most of yesterday in mixed A/B lobbies feeling like a pin in a skittles game. Tried 1 race this morning and got punted at turn 1 on the inside line minding my own business and that was enough for me, I dropped back to 9th or 10th and then got shafted again in turn 4, I just gave up. I have tried really hard all week to get as high as I can and I'm not going risking it all now. I'm disappointed because I thought A rated drivers would at least have some cop on but obviously not 😪

Maybe I am overlooking something, but what is your YouTube name / channel? Then I will also subscribe.I only ask rarely but if you could drop a like or comment on my vid that would be appreciated even if you don't watch it.
2 reasons:
It helps keep me motivated to start making vids I think will help people who aren't quite (like myself) at that A/A+ level
And secondly it helps YT find more like minded people thus perpetuating the cycle.
Just a friendly ask from a random community member 👍

keep on with it, it's inspiring
Back in the days of GT Sport, it was nice to get the advanced race info from KudosPrime. @Milouse was also able to provide the info on which car/cars would be used. The info on the cars was all I ever cared about.It's happened before where they haven't leaked in advance and they come as a surprise on Monday morning, I think that's better since it doesn't give people a whole weekend to practice and work out which cars/strategy will be the meta.
When it happens and you get landed in one the top split lobbies with Kie, Tidge, Rory, Digit and of course GotMaxPower don't worry about where you start just absolutely enjoy the moment of getting to race with them and enjoy it!Wooohhooo....finally cracked it👏👏👏👏
For the first time since I got Gt7 in August 22 I have made it to Dr A. You have no idea how happy I really am, I know it doesn't mean a lot to most people but it does to me 😉
Big massive virtual hug to @newmedia_dev (for setup)and @Tidgney (for your helpful track guides).
It won't last long but hey, I don't really care at the moment 😅😅😅 2 victories in the last 2 races just got me over the line 🏆🏆👍 I need a lie down now 🙈
Thanks very much for that 👍 I suppose I will just have to practice alot more before trying to race now 😅😅When it happens and you get landed in one the top split lobbies with Kie, Tidge, Rory, Digit and of course GotMaxPower don't worry about where you start just absolutely enjoy the moment of getting to race with them and enjoy it!
Well done mate, you've entered in to the 5% or 10% club?
🔥
You won't have to practice more (but it helps) but just focus on getting to what being on the pace is quicker. Finding the right gear or braking marker or apex speed in a few laps or a few watches of the replays.Thanks very much for that 👍 I suppose I will just have to practice alot more before trying to race now 😅😅

It's possible PD have changed their website to make it harder for the data miners to get the info but more likely they just haven't uploaded them yet, the usual schedule tends to get knocked out whenever they have one of their eSport sleepovers.

That is something I've wondered about since getting A+. At any given time, how many A+ and A drivers are there?Well done mate, you've entered in to the 5% or 10% club?

Based on the TT entries and dailies where @half_sourly does the stats there is a very small population of A+ drivers slightly larger A and by far the biggest category is B.That is something I've wondered about since getting A+. At any given time, how many A+ and A drivers are there?
