Please enjoy.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">GT and Real Cars<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">By the way, what should we call online racing?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: Sugawara-kun and I have seriously discussed this, but it\u2019s surprisingly tricky.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: Generally, the term eSports is widespread, but from our perspective, <strong>GT Sport feels different from typical eSports<\/strong>.

I believe <strong>you shouldn\u2019t compare games and real cars with the same yardstick<\/strong>. They\u2019re totally different.  <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve watched races since I was little, so I have knowledge about real cars, but it\u2019s unthinkable that I\u2019d be invited to commentate on real races, right?  <\/p>\n<p><strong>But the reverse happens quite often.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p>Some pro racers are \u201cdual wielders\u201d who do both gaming and real racing, so I understand their commentary, but <strong>when someone with zero gaming knowledge talks only from real car experience, it feels very off.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p>Also, we don\u2019t intend to compete with real cars, but sometimes real racers blatantly look down on us, saying, &#8220;<strong>It\u2019s just a game, after all!<\/strong>&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p><strong>But I think it\u2019s not about which is superior or inferior. They simply can\u2019t be compared.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: There\u2019s still a strong image in society that &#8220;<strong>real cars are more impressive<\/strong>.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>GT Sport\u2019s cars look and behave realistically, so some people treat it like real cars. Others think, &#8220;<strong>Real car races are amazing; GT Sport is just a copy of real cars<\/strong>,&#8221; but as Sugawara-kun says, games and real cars are completely different.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Real car racing is, of course, incredible! But virtual racing has its own unique appeal.<\/strong> It\u2019s important to see them as entirely different sports.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: The real racing world is either a business or funded by wealthy individuals. <strong>Just entering a race costs a lot of money<\/strong>, so even if you want to participate, it\u2019s not that easy.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_1099-1280x854.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, anyone can join GT, and <strong>even if you invest in gaming equipment, you can start with about 100,000 to 200,000 yen<\/strong>. That\u2019s less than the cost of a cheap used car in real life.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, real cars have maintenance costs, but in GT, once you have your setup, tires don\u2019t wear out, cars don\u2019t break from crashes, and no one gets hurt. If anything, it\u2019s just the electricity bill (laughs).  <\/p>\n<p>I think the amazing thing about GT is that it <strong>dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for motorsports<\/strong>. It\u2019s revolutionary.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cb3fa9c16dfeab0f995124ac7b13e7811_26615864_191225_0030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/>  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">Indeed, it\u2019s amazing that people of all ages and genders from around the world can participate. Are there other unique appeals of GT?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: I think the fun of GT is that you can <strong>compete purely based on driving skill<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>In real car \u201cone-make races,\u201d it\u2019s said that &#8220;<strong>all machines have no performance differences<\/strong>,&#8221; but in reality, there are quite a few differences. <strong>Perfect equal conditions don\u2019t exist in real cars.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_1370-1280x960.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p>But since GT is data-based, <strong>it\u2019s easy to achieve equal machine conditions<\/strong>. You compete purely on driving skill. That\u2019s why it\u2019s fun, and that\u2019s a fundamental difference from real cars.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about better or worse, <strong>simply, real cars and GT are different<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">Also, GT is a game, but unlike Mario Kart, you can\u2019t drop bananas or anything, right? (laughs)<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: Exactly (laughs). Among eSports, GT is very unique. <strong>It has no game-like elements at all.<\/strong> Other games have items and game mechanics.  <\/p>\n<p>Like you said, in Mario Kart, you can drop banana peels to trip up the leader and overtake them, but GT has none of that.  <\/p>\n<p>So playing GT with school friends isn\u2019t very fun. I always win, and they never can, so they say, &#8220;<strong>This is boring<\/strong>&#8221; (laughs).  <\/p>\n<p>I think there are few games where skill differences show as much as in GT.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cb3fa9c16dfeab0f995124ac7b13e7811_26615864_191225_0033.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: I bought GT for the first time this year and have been learning from Sugawara-kun as my mentor. But I always think, &#8220;<strong>He must find it boring to put up with someone this bad\u2026 I feel sorry<\/strong>.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>So sometimes we play tag or drive the wrong way, <strong>making up our own weird rules to have fun<\/strong> (laughs). That\u2019s also part of GT\u2019s fun.  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">GT Sport is a gentleman\u2019s game\u2026 it values sportsmanship, right?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: Yes. In most eSports categories, the winner is the one who <strong>defeats the opponent<\/strong>. So, even if you use items or tricks, <strong>if you beat the opponent, you win<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>But GT is different. It works because everyone races with sportsmanship.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: Right. In other games, you don\u2019t need to care about your opponent. But GT is different.  <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re required to <strong>respect your opponents while racing<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gttaisen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p>For example, during braking, you could <strong>intentionally not slow down and crash into the car ahead<\/strong>, or <strong>bump an opponent to overtake during a battle<\/strong>. Unlike real cars, nothing breaks and no one\u2019s life is at risk, so you could do anything if you wanted.  <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why <strong>we must respect each other and race based on trust for the race to work<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>In tournaments, the same members often race together repeatedly. So if you don\u2019t respect others, <strong>they\u2019ll block your racing line in another race<\/strong>, and it will come back to you.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve seen many players ruin relationships with others due to rough driving.<\/strong> So it\u2019s important to respect others.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more fun that way, and winning with dirty driving doesn\u2019t make me happy (at least).  <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/entry\/gt-sport-channel2\/2\/\"><strong>Next page \u2192 GT as the Savior of the Automotive Industry\u2026!<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--nextpage-->  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">A Bridge Between Real and Virtual<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">Same parts as real cars, but different charm and fun.

This PCCJ Virtual Race was planned and held as that bridge.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cb3fa9c16dfeab0f995124ac7b13e7811_26615864_191225_0029-1280x719.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719\" \/>  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">And it turned out to be very good for both sides.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: Yes. As I mentioned earlier, during the process of receiving real car design data from PCCJ drivers and creating their cars, some drivers who <strong>didn\u2019t know what GT Sport was<\/strong> learned about it, were happy to see their cars created, and were thrilled when GT Sport players drove and won with their cars.  <\/p>\n<p>Later on SNS, some real racers even said, &#8220;<strong>I bought GT too!<\/strong>&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Conversely, some GT Sport players became interested in learning about &#8220;<strong>what kind of race PCCJ is<\/strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<strong>which drivers participate<\/strong>,&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>what companies sponsor the logos<\/strong>.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>It may be a small thing, but I felt very happy that we could <strong>be a bridge between virtual and real racers<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_1447-854x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: Rico-san hasn\u2019t become too immersed in either the real or virtual side. Because she\u2019s not biased, she can do things like this.  <\/p>\n<p>Also\u2026 she\u2019s good at relying on others. For example, I think she\u2019s good at using me (laughs).  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Rico<\/strong><\/span>: The other day, Sugawara-kun and I had a tearful discussion.  <\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Sugawara<\/span><\/strong>: I was just calmly stating my opinion, but she started crying\u2026 I was like, \u201cDon\u2019t cry!\u201d (laughs)  <\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Rico<\/span><\/strong>: I got carried away and thought, \u201cIt\u2019s embarrassing for an older person to cry,\u201d but I got too passionate and ended up crying (laughs).  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4b\">Passionate\u2026 this kind of effort might help combat car disinterest among youth.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sugawara<\/strong><\/span>: Yes. I think GT Sport has a huge promotional effect on young people who will buy cars in the future.
