Wet Tokyo?

Amazing for photo mode (which is 90% or my playtime of GTS), horrible for racing. We're gonna start seeing +50 second penalties lol

Good call. Martin had great pace in qualy and he's long deserved a pole.

Look at that Pug go though! :D

And they actually win it! Awesome race, got a bit close at the end!
 
Is that the first time Pettuccini appeared in a World Event? I don't remember seeing him before. Managed to both almost throw it away and keep his cool in the closing laps.
 
Wait, I didn't know that rain is bad for turbo cars. (I didn't think it was a factor at all, really.) Is it simply bad for cars with any forced induction, or just turbos? And why? Is it because they're forcing water into the engine?

It's not bad for turbos. It's bad for FR cars because their weight distribution isn't as optimal as MR cars in wet conditions.
 
does anyone know if the tire sim physics of the new partner is now being used ?

I thought one of the Manufacturer Series drivers (maybe BMW?) was just talking about rain being bad for turbos... But anyway, is rain bad for FR cars specifically because of where the weight shifts under braking? Or under acceleration? Would you say it causes oversteer or understeer, and how? I would imagine oversteer since I associate rainy roads with being slippery...

If your engine is in front, that means the heaviest part of the car is the front, which means it doesn't turn as quick, which means understeer and accelerating in a straight line later than everyone else. Oversteer happens if you turn in too quick or during acceleration with the rear tires, which everyone is dealing with in rain conditions.

I think. I'm no professional I'm afraid.
 
Why so little cars? They do have the ability to do 24 cars

That massively increases the costs of the event.

They pay for the transport for all drivers, so that would be doubled.
You've also got all the rigs, including needing the space for the extra 12 rigs you are suggesting.
They pay for all hospitality for all drivers too.
And more.

In addition, by having 'qualification' to limit it to 12 teams, you improve the overall ability of the competitors, rather than having 24 teams with some drivers in the lower teams being much further off the pace.
 
Team Audi doing the Miyazono...not sure it’ll work in this race..:indiff:
 
Shame Audi ruined it by not fueling in their first stop, now all the way in the back.
 
Why is Hyundai here? They're more than 30 seconds back on 11th place! Not first! 11th!

Because they qualified for the event. Now, you may have criticisms for how the online points system works, as do I, but if you want Hyundai to be more competitive, you know what to do
 
not really that much action for the grand final . mercs choosing soft for first stint pretty much decided the race .
 
Ah man, it’s already started? Crap.
 
I understand the whole 'team effort' thing but travelling to Salzberg to drive for 1 lap of Spa as part of the race seems a bit lame. Feel sorry for him (and any other drivers) who drove so little.

A higher minimum lap amount per driver, or more suitable tyre wear values, could help this
 
Quite a disproportionate amount of ginger topped drivers at these events. There is almost one per team. :dunce:
