Ferrari won the FIA Manufacturer cup for season 1 in the Americas, which is the same format as what we're doing (alternate GR3 & 4, endurance events with fuel and tyre wear) - Nissan & Citroen won the other 2 regions.

Season 2's global results....
Dodge 1st
Ferrari 2nd
Nissan 3rd
And the 3 I mentioned as being strong...
BMW 6th
Mercedes 16th
Aston Martin 19th
It's like they're using different cars, or maybe how we ran the events being very tyre limited really affected things.

Guess that explains why Dodge have been nerfed.
Edit: thinking on it a bit more, maybe the BOP nerfs are being dictated by FIA?

I'm not sure if the final ranking is just based on driver position, so if an exceptional driver is driving the Dodge and wins then is that manufacturers result based purely on that? And yeah if that car is then nerfed when most of us mortals can't drive it at anything like that pace then it's not great. Their BoP tweaks have seemed strange a lot of times so you do wonder if they're basing it on what the top few can do with the car rather than everyone else.
Hello buddy we race on a Sunday night. We'll be resuming the league in September and it'll be from 8pm GMT. GHG is the guy that organises it all and he'll be putting something out soon so you can sign up. Hope you can make it!
In case you haven't read the thread, this season we're looking at alternating between GR3 and GR4 so try to find a manufacturer you like to use before the start of the season - welcome aboard :-)
It's fun and a different racing vibe that just regular online lobbies.
Can't do it anymore due to time, but I like watching the videos people upload.

Hey guys.
Bought GT Sport yesterday and I'm in love.
One question: is there something I'm missing or is there nothing that indicates that I have finished a cup? (Like all gold in the Sunday cup).
Makes it hard to keep track of my "campaign" progress.

IC. Will it be fixed? Is that something the community talks about, or am I the only one who cares?
It won't be fixed. Those are just races to spam over and over again in order to earn credits to buy cars. Id imagine the thought process goes something like "What's the point in indicating you've completed it if we expect you to repeat them multiple times"

Yep they will go up this week since I've got some time at the moment.
Just got back from spending a couple of weeks in Spain, planned to get them up before I went but was bogged down in finishing off a few projects for work which had to take priority for obvious reasons.
In other news I'm thinking about the following schedule for the next season (dates to be agreed):
- Week 1 - Red Bull Ring: GT3 (power circuit)
- Week 2 - Dragon Trail Gardens: GT4 (handling circuit)
- Week 3 - Sainte Croix B Reverse - GT4 (power circuit)
- Week 4 - Alcase Village reverse: GT3 (handling Circuit)
- Week 5 - Suzuka: GT4 (balanced Circuit)
- Week 6 - Yamagiwa + Miyabi Reverse - GT3 (balanced circuit)
I'll be jumping on tonight to have a play around with various cars and wear settings in an online lobby on the red bull ring so feel free to join me.
OP
OP
If people object then all tracks with the exception of the first 3 (because we have never raced them as a group before) can be changed. Ideally I'd like to stick to having one track type of each though to make sure it stays as balanced as possible (e.g. We don't want a scenario where the power cars have a significant advantage).
I've got a server up now with settings that we will likely run for the first race at RBR. I'll be hopping on and off throughout the day to test GT3 cars in between working.
Great stuff GHG athough I echo BradleyLove on the dislike for Alsace it's horrid and last time was more a game of dodgems on the walls.
Heathens! Alsace is bloody great (and one of my most successful tracks :-)
OP
OP
If people aren't keen on Alsace reverse then the only two handling tracks that can take it's place are:
- Brands Hatch
- Willow Springs
- Bathurst

Willow Springs :-) :-) I managed 4th from 13th on the grid last night in the FIA manufacturers race which I was quite pleased about hehe

Bathurst all day long. I'm not particularly competitive on Bathurst, but it's a great track to drive.

Lol you give us options then you take it away ;-)
I really don't mind what circuits you go for, some of our best races have been on the lesser used tracks :-)

Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to vote for willow springs.

Yeah, it's rare that I like a reverse track. I'm also not a huge fan of DT Gardens. I don't mind doing repeats of previous tracks.
And I agree with Shannow, Alsace is fantastic. :) (and not at all because it was my best placement in league history)

I'm curious... Has anyone actually driven Alsace reverse before writing it off? I'd argue it's more fun in reverse than it is the normal way round. Not my video but this guy drives it well enough to give you an idea:
You guys need to trust me sometimes, all the track configs I've suggested have been tested with the car classes we will run ;)

I do recall finding one or two of the fantasy tracks more fun in reverse. Not sure which however.
Hi guys. Since I've been wearing off on Fortnite recently, I've been playing GT Sport a lot more.
I haven't played GT for like 5 years so I'm currently utterly shite, but is there still space for someone like me?
I've been lurking the main OT since the start, so I have some idea how the leagues work (unless you guys changed it since you moved to this thread).

All are welcome in the league bud - GHG will put up an entry form in a while so you just fill that in and as long as you can make most if not all of the races then you should be in. Just make sure you allow some time to do practices before the events as it makes a hell of a difference if you know what your fuel and tyre strategy is going to be rather than winging it.
OP
OP
Yes there will definitely be some space judging by the numbers we had last season. The sign up will go up soon so keep an eye out for it. I will mention you in a post when it does.
The new Saint Croix B circuit is infinately better in reverse.
I know people are fond of tracks like Brands Hatch and Bathurst (I am too) but the biggest thing about these events is how tracks are to actually race on. Alscase is nice and wide, so that means overtaking opportunities and more importantly space to go round somebody if they make a mistake.
The new season will have reverse qualifying grids, light damage, ghosting off and car resets off so it's important that the tracks are wide enough so that overtakes are possible and so that someone making a mistake (or rejoining) doesn't cause chaos.
It becomes less about "do I like this track" and more about "can we have fun close races on this track".
Anyway, I'll be opening a lobby at RBR for some GR3 testing soon, feel free to join me.
I remember not liking Alsace Reverse, maybe because it didn't flow well, but I'll try it out again.
OP
OP
Would anyone have any objections to Lake Maggiore on the GR4 schedule?
I'm looking at finalising everything at the moment and testing threw up a couple of curveballs (Yamagiwa + Miyabi is actually more of a "handling" circuit than it is a balanced one and saint croix B is more of a "balanced" circuit better suited to GR3 cars than it is GR4 due to track length/average lap time). So we would be looking at the following:
I'm also considering outright banning both Ford and Renault for the following reasons (I'd like to know if anyone has any objections):
Thoughts?
I hope to have everything up (including the final standings from last season lol...) tomorrow which will give everyone who wishes to participate 2 weeks to test/select a manufacturer.

I'm also considering outright banning both Ford and Renault for the following reasons (I'd like to know if anyone has any objections):
- It goes without saying that the Ford GT and the Megane are ridiculously OP in their respective classes
- The unbalanced schedule due to it being 6 weeks. The second half of the season has more GT4 races and the first half has more GT3 races. Hypothetically you could select Ford for the first half of the season and the Renault for the second part and suffer minimal penalty...
Thoughts?

That all looks great to me bud :-) I've no objections to Lake Maggiore, another of my favourite circuits :-)
As for banning For & Renault, I'm ok with maintaining the free choice and letting people do it if they like. The Megane Trophy is great on twisty circuits but completely lost on power tracks. I've only tried the GT once but found it a real handful on Bathurst, those superstars really deserve the name.

I'll just make it so that if you select Ford or Renault you're locked in for the whole season with no option to switch.
I look at the Top Ten qualifiers, and if I can get within 4 seconds of those times then I'm quite happy. This doesn't apply for Nordschleife however.
OP

They are all cutting (or extending) T1. The track limits there are a bit broken and I hope we don't see people here abusing them when we race there.
Fifanutz 1:29's on the soft tire.

I noticed that a lot in last night's weekly race 3. Very frustrating.

Rules and Guidelines
- The Manufacturer you select for the first race of the season is the manufacturer you have to stick with until the manufacturer transfer window opens between races 3 and 4.
- If your selected manufacturer has more than one GR3 or GR4 car option (e.g. Lexus for GR3 and Renault for GR4) then you need to select one of the cars and stick with it. You cannot jump between cars within the same class category from race to race
- If you select Renault or Ford at the start you are NOT eligible for a manufacturer transfer, you must stick with that manufacturer for the duration of the 6 weeks.
- Between race weeks 3 and 4 if you wish to switch manufacturer you must announce your decision by posting in this thread prior to the GR4 race at Suzuka

- Race clean - Battle for positions but be fair :)
- If you cause a collision that causes one or more other car(s) to lose control or go off track concede those positions prior to resuming your own race
- If you leave the track be careful when rejoining
- When on your out or in lap during qualifying be aware of your surroundings on the track and try your best to stay off the racing line.
- Have fun :)
Qualifying:
- Make sure you are on the track, not in the pause menu and past the first sector prior to the race countdown starting. Qualifying times not registering tend to involve one of those factors.
- Avoid using the pause button while out on the track for prolonged periods of time. This can cause disruption to other drivers who are on their hot lap as the CPU will auto drive your car slowly along the racing line. Park your car on the side of the track without pausing or exit the track.
- When we get towards the end of qualifying everyone take a screenshot so that I will be able to see where you finished up on the qualifying standings in the event that the game does not register your qualifying position correctly. I will send a message in game when qualifying is over and allow everyone around 30 seconds to grab a screenshot before starting the race countdown.
General & Bug Guidelines:
- Races are grid start - be ready :)
- In the event of experiencing a bug such as not being able to move off the grid at the start of the race or not being able to see other drivers send an in game message immediately.
- Everyone will then be instructed to exit the race and return back to the lobby screen
- You (and anyone else who experiences any issues) should exit the lobby completely and rejoin ASAP
- Everyone then needs to reenter and go to track IN ORDER OF QUALIFICATION.
- The race will then restart

I'll update the OP with the details in the post above in due course. If I missed anything or anything doesn't make sense let me know :)
I will also try to share a google spreadsheets link with you guys who participated last season with the final results tomorrow. I fucked up massively doing the calculations today and will have to start again. I don't have the stomach to sit and go through all the race results and put them into a spreadsheet again right now so it will have to wait a day...

Yep as always stunning work bud, and thank you for organising this:-) looking forward for this to take over after the FIA championship ends :-)
