Next week I reckon, at least it won't clash with BSC now which is something I was concerned about

Do you think it’s possible that we may see a change to the ABS model before it starts? (Based on what you said in your report)

All I know is its being worked on, I can't say more specifically what they are doing to it though, I'll let them announce that themselves.

No timeframe was given.

But today start or not the Official Championship?
No one word from PD or Yama... It's simply absurd

what you mean today? I'm at the office... has started already?

Mid June was said. That could mean anywhere between about this, not exactly mid June.

Edit: added in better picture.

 

[SNAKEMAIO]

I hope next Wednesday or at the latest Saturday 23rd, FIA competitions will start.

i can't wait anymore, and very horrible calendary of this week for Daily Races, doesn't help!

 

[mclarenLB]

I personally believe we'll see it implemented in a mid-week maintenance, to then start the following week.

One would assume we'd here an announcement since today marks the halfway point of the month.

You may be right but give that this is PD and X month update normally falls on last day. Safe to say that it will be mid-June to very late-mid June. But yeah one would expect it to be today.

 

[Venster]

I was expecting something today with a view to starting next Wednesday assuming they kept the same format. Could still hear something today or over the weekend though.

I dont think we need a monthly update to do FiA championship races. They updated them weekly before without the need for updates. Not sure why it would be any different this time

We don't need an update. Making a compaison that PD seem to like to do things last minute, thus i expect to see news last minute mid June.

 

[speeeyskells]

Hopefully we get a update on this matter soon as people thought it was going to start on June 15th incuding me and is this the 1st real deadline missed by PD?

Its only the 17th of June. They said it would start mid June, not on the 15th of June.

 

[Venster]

Thought we would have heard by now but then they only stated mid June, must be working on something so could be interesting what they come out with.

Not looking likely to start this week though.

 

[mclarenLB]

It should get announced this week, and probably start next week. I expect it to be implemented in game with a mid week maintenance and probably a game update though because PD are clearly waiting on something. Anyone who expected it on the 15th June... they gave "mid-june" as a vague time frame for a reason.

Do you expect, or do you know? Tell us the truth!

*Reaction*:

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Cmon tell us lowly planet prey?

 

[mclarenLB]

No that's a genuine guess

PD don't even know when its gonna be released, how would I? Back at the world tour the plan was 1st June, plans change.

BoP needs to change too. Gr.3 has been ruined a bit in the last update and Gr.4 is still nowhere where it needs to be. There are still some "mini-meta" cars that shine well at many tracks (Yes, Supra, I'm looking at you) and others that have received nerfs for no apparent reason (911 RSR and AMG GT GT3 were good mid-pack cars, now neither one can stand its' ground on the straights). How's the 650s GT3 doing for now @mclarenLB ?

I dunno I basically don't even play the game Spent the last 4 days driving the R8 LMS for BSC

Due to brand affinity (Subaru) and my current road car (Citroën) I will be choosing between those two. I never did very many FIA test races as they became too frequent, but I was satisfied with both brands. I am not trying to speculate with what could be the best brand (I am only A/S).

Has anyone come across a reason NOT to choose Subaru or Citroën?

 

[ASH32]

Nope, both very good choices to consider I think.

Like choosing between biscuit and cake. Tough choice. Gotta have both.

Attempting to pronounce Citroën at a live event

 

[Sean Renon]

Haven't driven daily races for awhile now - haven't been in touch with the meta.
Is everyone going to sign for Renault? Is the Trophy that good?

I love driving the Trophy, but I would prefer being in a less common car, what're the top 5 gr.3/4 cars right now?

 

[Venster]

Renault Trophy will probably get a nerf tomorrow in the update anyway.

 

[DaigoD]

What do you guys think about Chevrolet for FIA? I love the Gr3 and I'm very comfortable with it but I'm unsure about the Gr4 car. I tried it for the first time today. It feels alright I guess and it seems to be a bit above average when it comes to pace. What do you think of it and how is its fuel consumption?

Both Chevy's have amazing fuel conservation.

Thought so. Barring any unforeseen BoP changes tomorrow my decision's made

Edit: Are some of you guys going with Nissan? I thought about it for a minute but decided against it. The Gr4 is nice but the Gr3 turns like a tank.
