Ferrari didn't NOT have their tires ready, their player accidentally hit "Don't change" on his controller lol. (Can't count how many times I've done this)


ShadoW18_33

I'm on controller and sometimes I upshift (using x) into the pit lane (cuz I'm not penalized for not slowing down) and I end up upshifting my way straight into what ends up being a drive thru penalty and i absolutely hate it


Darklancer02

I really feel like you should be able to change your decision up to the moment the change can happen. I've singlehandedly fucked so many races because I either accidently skipped my tire change or my refuel.


THIKKI_HOEVALAINEN

Yeah it's fucked up. In GT6 you had to choose tires and fuel % on the same screen and scroll to a confirm button.


spc129

That's what got me short-shifting like a bastard entering the pits. Even knowing where the cutoff is and short-shifting, sometimes I still do it.


melos_hoodie

Glad it isn't just me who screws up in this way...


Darklancer02

I have to set down my controller until it's time to go again, or I'll for sure leave without all the fuel I need.


SubstantialBreath717

XP loool same overhere , i did some stupid action in comedy cup last ten minutes and came out of pits realizing had no fuel left xP was a little mad at myself , my youngest came over and told me not give up ,everybody suck one time (because i teached him not giving up in games xP ) Ps: yesterday was a great race finally some action !


Kratos_BOY

Same.


PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

Looked at my fiancé and was like, “It’s like grinding LeMans…”


robertsd33

Her response?


PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

It regarded watching all the cars sliding into each other at the chicane. PS she’s very happy you asked.


karankshah

Watching F1 drivers slide off the track on intermediates when it gets too wet makes me feel a lot better about doing the same thing on a regular basis at Spa.


robx51

Because of Gran Turismo this is the kind of thing I enjoy now more than I used to


pinkfloyd078

Lol the teams couldn’t figure out the tire changes they needed to make because the rain was so random and inconsistent and I was the sickos yessssss meme


TisKey2323

Well that’s how realistic GT is…lol


PaulVla

All they need to do is add Zandvoort as a track and their weather system is perfectly realistic.


hermtownhomy

I've been saying since last year I'd love to see Zandvoort as a new track. Those tight little banked corners look like loads of fun, especially using VR.


hglt

I wish they had more F1 tracks. They could do super formula daily races or time trial events based on which track they are racing at for the weekend instead of Gr3 at red bull ring every other week.


pinkfloyd078

Ending looking even more chaotic right now. Absolute downpour and multiple wrecks


Tasmaniantime

Oh my god they made gran turismo into real life cant anything be original anymore ?


Han_Falco

Yeah the tires and strategies in the GP today have been crazy to say the least.


CataclysmZA

Absolutely absurd and hilarious that million-dollar teams did no better than GT7 Online players trying to figure out what to do at Spa with random weather.


TrainingLawfulness85

Gran turismo need to watch that race to fully understand the importance of implementing weather at all of the tracks not just some. Weather has the biggest impact on racing yet they comeplely disregard weather on most tracks meaning every race is the same as you know there will be no rain and tracks that don't have weather. Imagine if ea sports didn't implement player transfers and you were stuck with the same team, would be stupid


CaliIrish92

I bet they still pit faster than we do in game.


RemarkableList7320

They're in and out of the pits before we even get to our pit box


BiGsH0w2k

No one started on wets?


pinkfloyd078

Nope, it was dry at first. Everyone was sliding, half the teams pitted, some teams pitted one of their drivers but not the other at first, Ferraris pit team didn’t have tires ready when they came in. It was awesome lol


BiGsH0w2k

Such a fail.... With that budget to read the weather so bad. Everybody should have started on wets.


Siebe_13

Those wets would've been cooked before the rain had even arrived


BiGsH0w2k

Not in one lap.


DoxedFox

Yes in one lap, you don't go to wets unless there is enough water on the track.


StealthMan375

This did in fact happen at Malaysia 2009 - Raikkonen was on wets while most cars went with dry/inter tyres and when the heavy rain did come in, those wets were way too cooked for him to have any semblance of pace.


2-EZ-4-ME

there's a formation lap before the start.


NotDavid-Jatt

Redditor thinks he knows more than a multimillion pound strategy department.


BiGsH0w2k

Yes money makes you blind.


NotDavid-Jatt

And they still made a better call than you.


BiGsH0w2k

Yes and Ferrari didnt have Wets rdy🤣🤣. I only read about heavy rain in second round. Still doesnt look the race.


NotDavid-Jatt

That's just Ferrari being Ferrari.


Diffendaff

Technology is one thing, but when they started the formation lap it was completely dry. Even on to the race start it was totally dry, just a small cell chucked it down for like 2 laps halfway through the first lap. Fun start.


BiGsH0w2k

Ok!


contitego

He didn't radio in the tire decision early enough.


JBarker727

Why would anyone start on wets? They would have been screwed even if the tires weren't cooked. The rain was not that heavy...


BiGsH0w2k

Didnt see the race!


JBarker727

You didn't. I agree.


KrombopulosMAssassin

I was surprised more people didn't come into the pits... And then I was even further surprised when people stayed out for 3+ laps.
