This is an incredible Tournament this weekend, fist time watching a GT7 tourney, and it was an AMAZING experience. The weather and tire strategies makes racing WAY MORE DEEP. You are putting the teams to to another level of racing, team strats driver sessions, tire strats with weather. all that makes racing PERFECT. The announcers are AMAZING, they talk about nuanced stuff that helps new people to racing discover all the aspects of what the drivers are considering and doing. And they have so much energy and excitement and are constantly engaged with enthusiasm. This is TOP NOTCH production, you can't make it any better. you guys have nailed it and have hit a pinnacle of racing production.
Fraga is busy doing real racing in 🇯🇵 He's competing in Super Formula Lights and Super GT in GT300 class but it's impressive that Fraga can maintain a good level in GT7
Nice to see that Polyphony have finally figured out what the word "nation" means, but still a completely bizarre format. Wasted potential. There's huge potential for interest in weekly national qualifiers, with the top few drivers of each nation going forward to a head-to-head race with the top drivers of other nations.
Please add LAN to GT7. Even if its an add-on/DLC or sold separately, These events are so fun and captivating. I would love the opportunity to recreate this enviroment with my friends.
I can possibly beat a professional "driver" at their own game if I even need to I mean, hell, these so-called "professional drivers" are really bad at driving, unlike me, of course, and you say that us Americans are that bad at driving, really. I mean, hey, great racing there boys
I believe Barcelona will also be a team format. Your favorite drivers will be there racing. The team format makes for more drivers competing, more people to cheer on.
Still beat NZ somehow. They got an extra lap on Ms first stint which seemed good but then were last to pit by 2 or 3 laps for softs for the last stint. Made no sense
That was, simply put, a really, really bad joke that PD put on us GT players when it came to the Qualifying Race. Most people thought it was going to be a new track reveal (specifically Circuit Gilles Villeneuve that was first rumored on Reddit) but instead it was *just* Grand Valley. Wow, just....wow. *Major* missed opportunity, Kaz.
ITts Lucas Ordonez, first winner of GT Academy in 200(I think). He's probably not that used to being a translator, so they should probably have gotten someone that are actually a translator. But they might not have gotten someone specifically for that :P
Spain had a 33 second lead over Japan 3rd place softs and they on hards and they held the gap for 8 laps on lap 22, the mandatory lap to change for the 8 lap restriction. Japan needed to do a 4.1 second faster lap over Spain each lap to catch up and win. Getting that lead and having no one to challenge your turns, while the rest of all the other cars/racers are making harder turns competing (defending/blocking) with other cars around those turns burns time on the laps, that unrestricted laps with no deviation on all the turns for the whole race got the win. That strat getting out front and having no competition on the turns gave Spain super lap times cause no deviations in those turns. Can we see the lap times with tires on with the laps of this race Gran Turismo TV?
They drove incredliby well and fast regardless of that. Look at the massive gap Pol Urrua built to France car, then look at how they maintained the gap with mediums vs Canada on softs...
@@nixxxon18 dude they were on soft at the begging that was the strat. he even said that, they made the decision after France went med. This is my whole point, Canada on softs was being challenged but yes at the end they were goo,m but again that's cause they had the WHOLE turn to themselves without defending the turn on people or having people pull up beside you cause they drafted you. Yes the Spain team all raced perfectly, but the strat won it.
@@l337g0g0 15 seconds gap is more than just the strategy and the gap created on the first stint was very impressive even with that tire difference. They were the fastest, plain and simple
@@nixxxon18 "15 seconds gap is more" NO!!! it was the strat. again if they were tied up with others and fighting for turn and lane dominance they wouldn't have had an all clear track to themselves to pull off that 15 seconds, it doesn't matter how great you are as a racer. If you have to race with others competing for your position it slows you down. What don't you understand about this???
Why didn't Myazono race for Japan? He has to be the best racer in the world. If not, then he's damn close to it!! Love watching him race! In hindsight, looking at the race that Spain ran, it's surprising none of the other top runners went with the same strategy. Every other team lost fistfuls of time squabbling with other cars while Spain rode off into the sunset. If Japan had run the same strategy and run with Spain, I'm confident that Spain wouldn't have been able to stay with them in the end.
Miyazono withdrawn from Nations Cup because he had to work in 🇯🇵, Fabian Portilla from 🇨🇱 did the same, both have jobs and new people were promoted to replace them.
Or, you know, it's very likely that the spanish drivers were the best. Flawless race. The strategy helped but they were very fast on all 3 tires. The gap Pol Urra built at the first stint was insane, up to 12 laps of the softs with full tank and no mistakes... then Coke with mediums managed to almost maintanin the gap to Canada with softs. Then Serrano was quite fast on hards aswell.

Fraga should have been driver of the day. He went from 7th to 3rd on his stint
Yeah the driver of the day should allow a vote for any of the drivers. Fraga was just so smooth and fast.
He passed 3 people on harder compounds… not really DOTD worthy
Igor fraga, even without training he is a machine
Fraga is busy doing real racing in 🇯🇵 He's competing in Super Formula Lights and Super GT in GT300 class but it's impressive that Fraga can maintain a good level in GT7
Highly doubt he is not training at all. Probably he is doing so far less but still doing it
And, as always, great Show from Julia, Tom & Jimmy!!!

I voted brazil. Damn almost but Spain getting out in front on softs killed it. USA wtf...and malaysia...the weird pit stop ugh. Bad
Ikr
Looks like Brazil has 2 top drivers and Spain maybe the only country that has all 3 great drivers.

Congrats, Coque Lopez, Jose Serrano and Paul Urra! Keep pushing, guys!
Anyone else gotta ***** right now?
I’m shitting in the bathroom at work while watching this 😊
@@tigereyetypesu have some photo?
Fraga and Bonelli is gonna have a hard time carrying Carazza...
I can possibly beat a professional "driver" at their own game if I even need to
I mean, hell, these so-called "professional drivers" are really bad at driving, unlike me, of course, and you say that us Americans are that bad at driving, really. I mean, hey, great racing there boys
This is just as if not more entertaining than watching real racing wtf lol😅
I don't like this team format. I care about my favourite dricers, not about any particular nation (not even my own).
World finals will be just for drivers, not teams. That's in Barcelona in autumn.
@@silviuamuza3902 oh, good to know
I believe Barcelona will also be a team format. Your favorite drivers will be there racing. The team format makes for more drivers competing, more people to cheer on.
USA needs better drivers next year! That was a joke! Can't stay on track nor complete a time trial.
Facts
They had a wheel failure in qualifying
Still beat NZ somehow. They got an extra lap on Ms first stint which seemed good but then were last to pit by 2 or 3 laps for softs for the last stint. Made no sense
I can guarantee the US drivers are some of the world's best. They had a rough day from the very start with their equipment failure.
Usa dunno how to drive? Comm'on.... 😂
How do you qualify in nations cup or manufacturers cup?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic

I don’t think that PD is to blame here, they’re still rumors after all. The tuned sports cars were already interesting enough for me as well.
Man I’m from 🇨🇦 and honestly they should’ve done the M>H>S going on the Hards on the last stint was the mistake they made 🤦♂️.
Why is the hostess wearing DM's and lycra shorts ?
Things we do for a virtual car, well ambulance. 😂
Really don't want Team France to win
Any other team than the froggy team
French always cheat
Hahaha hahaha French drivers
Well done team Spain and the rest of the teams on the podium
I’m Spanish and dude… the translator from Spain is really lackluster lol

anyone know where to watch the proam race?
Beaovuis out.

LOL, cause like I said they didn't have to compete with anyone on there turns.
Are you ok???

"15 seconds gap is more"
NO!!! it was the strat. again if they were tied up with others and fighting for turn and lane dominance they wouldn't have had an all clear track to themselves to pull off that 15 seconds, it doesn't matter how great you are as a racer.
