You'd be surprised. We did have a rare Nations Cup race there in the Gr2 Audi DTM and it was a blast.
Yep, count me in that group. I was all set to move away from AMG and go with McLaren (with Porsche a close 2nd) as my choice, but now reconsidering the 911 with the slight buff it got, and the slight nerf McLaren got. Probably not more than a couple tenths difference on a great lap, but still rattling around in my head now.
I'm thinking of signing with Mclaren. Most of the tracks require a car with good rotation and stability. Daytona RC won't be a problem because I have the F1 GTR and that will be my ACE card for that particular round where the 650s may be left lacking.I am trying to think of a Manu but it's not so cut and dry. Leaning towards Porsche as I think it'll will be very good at most of the tracks but likely horrible at Daytona... which is one of the races I really want to do.
BMW, Genesis, Toyota, and possibly Ford may all be solid picks. The Ford GT 18 got a solid buff in today's update. Mmmmmm, Ford... The GT18 might be good at Nord, GT LM we know is good at Daytona RC (despite the recent Nerf I reckon it's still a solid choice). LM II may be okay at Fuji as well.
Let the overthinking begin.
McLaren is a solid choice for sure; I picked them the last two Manus. That being said, the Gr3 650 got a little Nerf this past update.
Ford buff got it to a decent spot but it was so far behind the rest that it's only made it decent, not good. I couldn't get below a 1:51 with it at Trial Mountain (Race B) - whereas other cars definitely can do it.I am trying to think of a Manu but it's not so cut and dry.

As a day 1 player of GT Sport, I am also really annoyed at how PD runs the GTWS in GT7. I think the fact that they refer to this season officially as an "Online Qualifier" tells you all you need to know. The FIA championships in GTS were real seasons. Now it's all about a brief qualifier for a select few people to go to the live events. PD has abandoned the format of making proper seasons. Their vision is literally baked into the name "Online Qualifier".
feel the same, but only six races cramped in a few weeks is just not a competion for me. Will miss a bit to many rounds due to work and life, I got to little time to practice and a total lack of original events are killing it for me. Shame though, had to much fun in GTS in competing with the whole gang who got most points.
I think "fewer cars" is pretty obvious, this was supposed to be a PS5 game that got shoehorned into the PS4 at the last minute and 16 cars was all the PS4 can handle. (I say that as a PS4 owner/player, the game was and is getting held back). As for fewer events... The only justification I can think of, is that they want the same competitors at each World Tour event. From a promotional perspective this sorta makes sense, they get more people they can promote, storylines, etc, but... I really don't like it. It means a shorter season for the "everyman", and less of an opportunity for anyone else to get into the big events. I guess it's slightly easier on the drivers that they only have to grind for 2 months instead of longer, I know it's hard on them, but... There are only a few slots and they should be earned.

The whole season is a bummer. Only 6 rounds each and most of them are duplicates anyway. I don't know anyone that isn't disappointed in some regard. Feels like they've proper phoned it in.Feels like all i do is moan haha but its just so disappointing that they have made the official season so short and again put in the same old tracks. Would have put my mortgage on Nords, Suzuka and Fuji. They even went out of their way to do a promo video bigging up the incoming season to then just give you 2.5 weeks of mostly 1x Hard tire daily race style sprint races. Can't really say its a championship to reward the top drivers who've worked hard through a number of strategic races. More like a championship to reward those that are best at Qualy as you won't get much chance to work you're way forward in those short races!
4 weeks from now and it'll all be over until Autumn at the earliest!
That said, being positive, i may still try and do a couple of races. Unlikely i'll do 3 to get the max points, but may try Interlagos and Daytona. Majority of cars that are good at Interlagos are not very good at Daytona so will be a tough choice for Manufacturer! May finally re-sign for my favourite GT3 car in the game. (@GTWolverine knows who i mean
