Actuaciones dominantes sellan los campeonatos de Gran Turismo certificados por la FIA 2021 títulos - PlayStation.Blog

Este fin de semana pasado (Diciembre 3-5) marcó la cuarta final mundial de FIA ​​Certified Gran Turismo Championships y la última en GT Sport antes de cambiar a GT7 el próximo año. Este cambio inminente se destacó cuando Porsche presentó su nuevo y emocionante, Coche Vision Gran Turismo totalmente eléctrico para GT7 como parte de la transmisión de la Copa de Naciones el domingo. También fue genial ver a Lewis Hamilton hacer una aparición para felicitar a nuestro 2021 campeón de la copa de naciones.

All in all, las Finales Mundiales fueron un gran éxito nuevamente: corrieron y grabaron de forma remota por segundo año consecutivo. La libertad que tenemos en la serie hace que sea fascinante que podamos crear carreras muy diferentes en diferentes autos para las finales., y esas escenas realmente impresionan. También podrás identificar los diferentes personajes de nuestros competidores.

Realmente me llamó la atención el fin de semana lo alto que ha llegado el nivel de los competidores.. Todos ellos son tan rápidos., y todo se reduce a márgenes muy pequeños, tener la fuerza para conducir 100% para toda la carrera y, Me atrevo a decir, un poco de buena suerte a veces.

El fin de semana comenzó el viernes con la Copa Toyota Gazoo Racing GT. Si bien no forma parte de los campeonatos oficiales, la acción cercana siempre está garantizada en los autos Toyota GR Yaris y GR86 nuevos. La carrera final alrededor del famoso Circuito de la Sarthe vio al experimentado piloto japonés Tomoaki Yamanaka (yamado_racing38) tomar la victoria por apenas cuatro décimas de segundo del campeón del año pasado, Takuma Miyazono (Kerokkuma_ej20). También fue muy agradable ver a otro piloto japonés., Rikuto Kobayashi (TX3_tokari71), toma el tercero. no porque sea japones, sino porque el es solo 16 años y una perspectiva realmente emocionante para los años venideros.

Finales mundiales de la Manufacturer Series del sábado estaba destinado a ser otro clímax realmente emocionante para la Serie con el Equipo Toyota y el Equipo Mazda empatados en puntos después de los eventos de la Serie Mundial de este año.

Al final, Mazda no pudo hacer nada ante las tres impecables actuaciones del brasileño Igor Fraga del Team Toyota (IOF_RACING17), Coque López of Spain (coca-cola jopez14) y el japonés Tomoaki Yamanaka. Para Fraga y Yamanaka fue su segunda victoria en la Manufacturer Series para Toyota, haber levantado el trofeo inspirado en Boccioni en 2019.

López les arrancó con victoria en Carrera 1 on the Autodrome Lago Maggiore – GP II before Yamanaka – starting from the pole secured thanks to the Race 1 victory – drove beautifully and benefited from taking a different tyre strategy to the rest of the field to win on the Tokyo Expressway – East Outer Loop. Igor Fraga has shown himself to be a huge fan of the Nürburgring 24h circuit, and he held his concentration, and the lead, throughout the five laps of the 25.4km track. You can hear on the team radio that these three compete very much as a team and work hard for each other behind the wheel or working on strategy.

Team Mazda finished the year second in the points standings having found it hard to come back from a disappointing seventh place in the opening race, despite taking third in Race 2 and second in Race 3. Rounding out the top three was Team Porsche with a single point advantage over fourth-placed Mercedes-Benz.

The World Finals of the Nations Cup on Sunday saw 32 competitors representing 18 different countries and territories. Three regional semi-finals would create the 16-driver field for the Grand Final.

The Asia-Oceania semi-final played out on an intriguing combination of the Mazda Roadster Touring Car on Australia’s Mount Panorama circuit and produced some extraordinarily tight racing. A thrilling finish saw 2020’s Nations Cup champion Takuma Miyazono (Kerokkuma_ej20) take the race win by three-tenths of a second.

Next up it was the turn of the Europe, Oriente Medio, and Africa region that contained three of the top four in the points table, including Italy’s Valerio Gallo who has been in incredible form all year. Only the top six finishers would proceed to the Grand Final and anything was possible in a 15-lap race around Autodromo Nazionale Monza No Chicane in Gran Turismo’s take on a 1980s formula car, the F1500T-A.

A daring tyre-strategy from Spain’s Coque López almost paid off, but it was Gallo and his closest rival in the points table, Spaniard Jose Serrano (PR1_JOSETE), who enjoyed a stunning last-lap battle. Gallo took the chequered flag by four-hundredths of a second to add to his lead in the points table.

The North, Central and South American semi-final was an incident-packed affair around the Blue Moon Bay Speedway – Infield A in identical Ford GTs. With only five places up for grabs in the Grand Final, another close finish saw Lucas Bonelli (BRA) (TGT_BONELLI) cross the finish line first, followed by Igor Fraga (BRA), Angel Inostroza (CHI) (YASHEAT_Loyrot), Juan Hernandez (GUA) (TX3_Kangreti) and Andrew Brooks (Arte del pase de refuerzo MK8) (PX7-Deafsun), who took the final spot in the Grand Final.

The Gran Turismo original Dragon Trail – Seaside circuit was the scene for the Grand Final with another Ford GT car, this time the LM Spec II Test Car, providing the hardware. La parte superior 16 Gran Turismo drivers in the world lined up on the grid. Serrano had done all he could to stay in contention by taking pole position by just three-hundredths of a second from arch-rival Gallo.

Gallo enjoyed a strong start, but with different pit stop strategies at play it was a hard one to call.

On lap 18 of 22 a mistake by Miyazono allowed Gallo to retake the lead. Increíblemente, sin embargo, on the penultimate lap, Frenchman Baptiste Beauvois (R8G_TSUTSU), who had started last on the grid after a costly mistake in qualifying, passed Gallo and took the lead on the softer compound of tyre while Gallo had to run to the end on the mediums. A small error allowed Gallo back past on the final lap and he was able to cling on through the last few corners for victory in the race and the Championship.

Fourth on track for Serrano secured him second overall in the series. Miyazono’s drive to third in the Grand Final put him third in the points, just ahead of Beauvois, whose inspired drive promoted him to fourth overall.

Una vez más, it was a really exciting World Finals weekend and congratulations to all our Champions who will be honoured during the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony in Paris later this month. I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of the drivers who have taken part this year in the Online Series and the World Series events.
