1) You all need to set your expectations much, much lower

Northern Isle Speedway Inner loop then?

 

[dimassa19]

Spoiler

Tokyo Wet

sounds like it fits that expectation. Wet track definitely confirmed though, yes?

In this case, the most appropriate word would be 'Tough' and not 'Hilarious'...

[Crazy Taylor]

9 laps so it may be a short track. Maybe something like High Speed Ring?

 

[05XR8]

How could PD not have one of these RB F1s in the game? Such a tease...

 

[dlshearon]

Driver swaps for two of the manu race.
This should be very entertaining!

SR D is the new A+ :')

 

[sems4arsenal]

Night conditions for Spa, please.

IMO I’d love to see a Tokyo West and/or North layout, or maybe even a broader Tokyo layout altogether that resembles the larger C2 ring. I at least wanna see Tokyo Expressway’s version of the Yokohama bridge. IMO Tokyo Expressway is a good replacement for the Special Stage courses (other than Route X which is more of its own thing), and especially if they can make the Yokohama bay bridge part of a more interesting layout. In contrast, SSR7 seemed really dull when you look at the bare layout, even if I do like the actual theming, such as with the tunnels and the bridge.

I'm surprised there's no leaks yet...

That would be kinda dope tbh special stage route flashbacks #GT3.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Sparks through Eau Rouge, good to see. 👍

 

[MortosDer]

I'm sorry but I seem to be missing something here. How were manufacturers decided for this event?

Tokyo Expressway in no way shape or form is anywhere near as good or beloved as R246 nor Special Stage, im sorry but it's the truth

From the results of the FIA Manufacturer Series Stage 1. Toyota are automatically included as an official partner. You can read all the detail here. Point 4.2 explains the qualification process.

Thanks. The guy from CSA driving for Porsche basically won the lottery right?

It was only rounds 1 to 10 that count for qualifying for this World Tour Event and at that stage he would have been the highest scoring driver for Porsche (in CSA). Rounds 11-20 he only did one race and has now dropped to 5th, so the next World Tour Event will be the current top driver. That person didn't compete in rounds 1-10 at all (for whatever reason) but scored a boat load of points once they started!

Not sure if that counts as winning the lottery. At the time he was the highest scoring driver, so he qualified for this event.

As you can see, there's a bit of a gap in qualifying. Basically down to drivetrain -- except that Merc. It was really close during the session, not just for the podium, but for that coveted sixth spot. At one point Jag had pipped another team by two thousandths.

Nick explains pretty well:

I'm glad it's Tokyo getting wet. Hopefully we get a night rain with all the shiny reflections from buildings.

Oh, boy. The players at home better be ready to put on their grown-up pants.

Ah come on, that's a bit of a let down...

 

[Loverson]

I'm glad it's Tokyo getting wet. Hopefully we get a night rain with all the shiny reflections from buildings.

Hopefully it is wet in all layouts. Tokyo South Wet would be insanely fun

Nick explains pretty well:

I'm assuming the rain conditions going by the lap times are set to 0445 or 1730(0445 more likely) as lap times are too quick for the 1030 setting.

Tidgney was doing low to high 44's in his practise at 1030 setting and my testing found the 0445 setting to be about 2 seconds quicker

0445 setting is the most visual pleasing so makes sense

RacingSwordsman for Hyundai is the real lottery winner...

I race with him in 2nd split NA from time to time. So the dice came up fortunately for him that he got the call
