Calender in Rules & Regs have wrong dates

Yeah I think everything has basically been pushed back by 2 weeks because of the initial problems when the game came out.

Gutted I am going to miss 1 round though.

I think the points system needs to change because as it is.

SERIES POINTS

This will be the points system for the championship and will be the same in the overall, privateers and teams standings.

1st = 100pts
2nd = 95pts
3rd = 92pts
4th = 90pts
5th = 88pts
6th = 86pts
7th = 84pts
8th = 82pts
9th = 80pts
10th = 79pts
11th = 78pts
12th = 77pts
13th = 76pts
14th = 75pts
Each position will be minus 1 point right the way through to:
88th = 1pt

I think it should be 2 points different between places from 9th down not just 1 point.

Unfortunately out of the question 2 rounds in. In future series it could be used.

can the calendar please be updated!

The rounds are every two weeks.

can't be hard to update the calendar then

Already done :p

There is a glitch at Silverstone in the Z4, causing the car to go spastic during a long run no matter what you do to the car setup. Me and some other people have been testing this and we cannot find a solution. Can something please be done so that the race can be fair for the people running in the Z4's?

It's not just limited to Z4's or Silverstone. I've been keeping an eye on various threads on the pCars forum and the most likely scenario is it's a ghost car your crashing into, and that seems to be caused by someone quitting but their car staying out on track at the point where they left, only invisible. No one knows for sure yet but that seems the most likely.

Well have you tried it on the GP loop which is the one we are using?. Because that forum post is on about the international track not the gp

yes i have tried it on gp adam as ive tried spending many hours trying to tune the car to stop it but nothing can be done, and hainesy its not a ghost car it happens on both single player and multiplayer. if you test this yourself after 14 laps it will happen. one of the wheels will start glitching out and when you try to turn and it will roll. watch my clips as one of them shows the wheel glitching out even when im stationary after it attempted to roll.

That sounds like the other most likely scenario then, with weird things happening with tyre wear. Can't see any other option than disabling tyre wear for the Silverstone race if that's the case, as I don't think the fix for it is in patch 2.0. Does it happen at all with tyre wear disabled?

That's a good question! ^

Could it be setup and how the car is reacting to the load being put on the tire and the stress of fast cornering etc? I have tried my BMW Z4 GT3 that I run for 30-40 mins without incident, I did pit for fuel because I was an idiot and put too little in but I didn't change tires as I was trying something out for the real race

the same thing happened to the BMW M3 gt2, but this car managed 31 laps on softs before this glitch happened. it happens at a certain point of the tire wear, after doing constant 1.58-1.59 lap times i am putting alot of pressure on the tires but its never the front left that glitches despite being cooked on temp because im 100% everylap. i did notice with the stock tune in the z4 it managed to break the 15 lap problem im having in my z4, but i think thats due to the tune producing slower laps putting less pressure on the wear as it was 2-3 seconds a lap sower. i think the best option is to run no tire wear just for this race as people will have to pit for fuel anyway + the Z4 has the best tire wear out of GT3 on this game so it kinda benefits others not in Z4.

What Silverstone is it for the 500 gp international or national..????

Full track

2015-07-12ta very much.

Specific updates for Silverstone will be made tomorrow.
We are looking at ways to help the BMW teams. The natural choice would be to disengage tyre wear and that is 1 of the options.

More tomorrow, and yes, it's the Silverstone GP circuit as per the real British GT Championship.

Im interested if there is any sort of prize for the team and individual winners. surely the British GT would agree to supplying some sort of prize being signed T-shirts or a wheel/pad.

Confusing why there isn't any sort prize with a sponsor/partner considering it seems as their is a strong link, your even posting a report on their website with how our races went.

Considering the poor reaction when we have provided prizes (often extremely generous) in the past we have not made that a priority at this stage.

Poor reaction? Thats unfortunate, I'd be over the moon if there was a significant prize

So the admins get the perks of partnership?
It is hard work
