Tom, Jimmy, just wanna say that you two did a fantastic job this weekend with comms.

Definitely , real damages have to be THE rule . The only way in my opinion for people thinking before putting their car in a dangerous situation for themself and principally for the others.
Otherwise , this game will not have any kind of credibility .
Some GTS moment tonight were just a shame.

Amazingly fun race to watch. Maybe Hizal and Fraga would actually compete harder if there was an actual incentive to win a GT Sport race other than a free watch, t shirt and hat from advertisers. No Hizal no Fraga in the final very strange. I'm guessing Fraga will be quitting GT Sport next season.

Oh, I thought the main reason for not allowing DS4’s was because they didn’t want them being seen on camera? Which happened in the U18 Race. Either way I’d be at least a little sour if I was a DS4 user who’s forced to use a wheel at a these events only to see these guys being allowed to use them.

It does strike me as odd given that when you buy a PS4, that's what you get. Unless they don't want to see people with DS4 beating people with Wheels and pedals from the sales perspective of Thrustmaster/Fanatec?
I thought Solis did a great job with the wheel, though not 100% sure what happened at the start in Spa - I suspect he fell victim of the game starting him in the bus stop and firing him off as soon as the race started, but that's a guess.
Some people are just unlucky and seem to get taken out in every race.

Imagine if Lewis Hamilton had to win only one race to qualify for the championship in Monaco, then only have to show up to Monaco to actually win the championship. Not very sporting if you ask me. Plus Igor already competed in the manufacturers race yesterday. Why didn't he compete in the nations cup?

Let's say that the dive bomb in the last corner of the race had ended up taking out the winner of the race.. Then how we would we feel about it? Because that was the real risk Carrazza took with that frankly stupid move.
And I am disappointed that the stewards didn't at least issue a warning to him. Those kind of things need to be stopped before they become part of every game..
The F1500 was a great choice and it's a joy to see our usual alien like racers having their hands full with a car like that. Great addition!
The forced tire use is also a great addition to the format. Whatever that helps put fair but unknown variables into the races makes them more exciting to watch and race I guess?
I hope we get a final in Monte Carlo without a . To a certain degree it's OK that the qualifying events are less forgiven when it comes to the races. After all there is more than one event to compete in.
With the final event of the year we crown the best driver of the season. So more races with points to earn would IMHO give us a more fair winner of everything.

I noticed there was little to no mention over the broadcasts this weekend about fuel saving or fuel mixture during the races. Did they use lower fuel consumption settings than normal because of the Fanatec wheels don't have the quick controls/dials for that stuff like the TGT has? They’d have to scroll through the menus mid flight with that wheel, vs having a dial for each on the TGT, making it harder to do so mid race.

Certainly, with the CSL Elite P1 wheel, I don't regard it as viable to adjust fuel mixture frequently, as there's too much risk of moving it in the wrong direction and changing something else, which then distracts you while you try to fix it, and in trying to fix it you risk even more changes that weren't what you intended. How do the dials work on the TGT, it sounds like you have a dial that is just for fuel mix, so when you move that does the screen change to show fuel mix automatically? I've wondered if this would be better with Fanatec with the Formula V2 wheel, does anyone know what possibilities that opens up in terms of using the rotary encoders it has?

You obviously just decided to ignore the previous post which pointed out it is ILLEGAL to pay cash prizes for a gaming competition in Japan. That also applies in other countries which is why they are not included in the Nations Cup.
Can you confirm that you wish Sony to break the law then....? Just so it's clear to everyone. If not, then I'll just quote this post every time you post the same message until you confirm...
On topic, I didn't see the races yet, but it's worrying that with almost every event, the main topic of conversations on here seems to be bad/reckless driving and not about the winners or race.

The Semi-final A was quite a catastrophe. Never saw anything like that. Good call to restart. And then even with the restart there were some unfortunate collisions.
But what a final race and finish. Very exciting. Cheers to all. Always great to see these events.

I clicked on the link and the first thing I saw was:
"Location: Las Vegas, Nevada."
Do some actual research before wasting our time with this discussion.
And based on your edits, you clearly don't see a distinction between games made in Japan and tournaments held outside of Japan.

Happy that Kokubun won. He deserved it. More than others in my opinion.
I used to enjoy watching the top drivers showcase their skills at these events. Not so much lately.
When I watch motorsports I love watching the skill at the highest speeds because I know their lives are on the line. Watching people knocking each other off the road because there is no consequence gets old.

To be fair, the other GT Sport World Tours weren't in Japan, we even had one in New York, so he kinda has a point actually.
However, we shouldn't really be discussing this here, a separate thread would be more appropriate.

I'm 2 for 2 on Spa start spins; third time's a charm right? I got started at the very end of the last corner but I put too much throttle and just tossed the car round.
The Fanatec throttle pedal has considerably more travel length than the T-GT, so it's hard to tell where your throttle is on auto-drive, so I went too hot and died. My fault xD
That being said, I lost about 3.5 seconds to Kokubun over the course of that race and had to catch up 17 seconds to Li.
I ended up on the outside of the corner following Pouhon as I got a good exit, and I got run pretty much as wide as possible for the left hander, so I had to turn sharp to make the corner without hitting Li, rode the kerbs too much and the car gave in.
Unfortunate but hey, I keep proving to myself that I have good pace, just ridiculously silly mistakes, so it's something I really need to improve on.
Supra Cup was something else, I was legit bawling for almost half an hour lol
A rear end from Tapai lost me about 1.3 seconds, then the 6 tenth dive from Miyazono into a following dive with contact at turn 1, which allowed Coque through. Coque being on the inside after running wide basically allowed Miyazono back through and my race was done.
I can't express enough just how unfair I felt the Supra Cup was, and it really hurts, even now. As a pad player, I always struggle to get up to speed at these events and I thought that I may be able to score my first (and likely only ever) podium. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Manufacturers was an afterthought, I essentially just cruised on hards and passed a few people in both races. Not ideal tracks for our car.
Also, I would like to sincerely apologize to the Americans. I know it's probably really painful to watch me choke over and over. I really want to be a good representative for our country and I keep letting everyone down, so I'm sorry and I will keep trying to make something good happen.
