What about Forza? It seems even being very close to each other in terms of quality, Forza never had the appeal of GT. Is there an e-sport scene for Froza?

there is an esports scene for Forza Motorsport (probably not for FH?) and last years official championship had some interesting rules like a reverse grid races (person with highest points starts last, 2nd highest 2nd to last ... and least points starts first), dynamic weather races and so on

it didn't feel as engaging as the GTS events to me (well, I never even had an Xbox, so maybe that's partly at fault) though, the cam work was pretty bland (almost all race in chase cam), the top pros all were using pads which felt weird to me (although I'm a pad driver on GTS), no tire/fuel management and no pit stops aswell as very little slipstream bonus made the races largely feel really static as most of the racers also were very disciplined and after races we had to wait for like 30 minutes for end results because the stewards watched replays to determine penalties

I think the quality are close, it's just that in terms of level and AI and also control, GT is  slightly better. And also GT sport has a racing license.  

Wow that seems MUCH worse than the GT race I watched. It was crazy, the camera angles were like exactly the real race broadcast.

WHat do you mean by pads, sorry english not my first language. You mean people were playing with controllers? Why?

As far as I know using a steering wheel gives much mora advantage once you are used to it.

GT7 could be a Launch Game, well, I would say it must be a Launch Game since GT6 was released almost 7 years ago. Come on PD, come on Sony.

yea, they were using the normal Xbox controllers, as driving with a wheel was considered harder/slower in Forza at the patch they played the tournament with (maybe that has changed in the meantime)

it was pretty fun to watch anyway, but I only watched 2 races live and watched the rest when the stream was archived to skip the long downtime between races
