Please let’s all boycott the Supra cup. Send PD a message that they can’t pull this crap.

You do that. I'll have fun in the Supra Cup without you.

Anyway, is nobody able to select a manufacture yet? The contract buttons are missing from me which I have never seen before...

Once they've scheduled the Championship in game you should be able to, which I'm guessing should be later today

I must have been oblivious in the past then.

Well they'd normally have the Championships up already but I guess they wanted to wait till after the update this time

 

[ZedNinetySix]

Er... whats a tire penalty?

 

[05XR8]

Er... whats a tire penalty?

Failure to use the required tyre compound(s).

 

[Peddler13]

I think that the new scheduling might help in making for cleaner racing, from my perspective anyway.
The way I see it is that the mixed Saturday scheduling will encourage amateurs, like myself, to totally forget about either the Manufacturers or Nations race and just concentrate on the one race. My thoughts are that if some people try to practice for and enter both races they might get the tracks/cars confused where an incident may render them a bit disoriented.
On the other hand it might cause more kaos as inexperienced and casual racers just enter and try to go hell for leather regardless!

Whatever, I like the new schedule and shows that the GTS/PSN are at least trying to evolve.

Still not showing for me yet, Once My Zoom Work is over & DHL Parcel has arrived then I'll be Jumping on around 4pm to Test the different changes towards FF Cars & My sturdy AMG GT3 to see what's changed!

 

[Famine]

I just want to know what car/track combinations I'm going to intend to practice and then not bother.

 

[Trone_Colby]

Probably not gonna post it until the day of, lol. If that’s their intention, it would change some things.

And they look like lower tyre multipliers in Manufacturers in general. Not sure about that, while it might even up the field over a race distance it could force people's hand into running just the one lap on the harder required tyre for every race

Already pencilled in May 30th though, Spa in Gr.1!

 

[stpatty]

Either I'm being really dumb or several of those races in both championships are repeats from the last round of ten.

Nations has the kart race, Gr.4 at Nurb GP and Gr.3 at Dragon Trail Seaside, Manu has Gr.4 at Laguna Seca (the same tyre requirements even ffs!).

Yeah, but this time, we actually have to use all of the tire compounds!

 

[The359]

So for the Top 16 races, it says the bonus points multiplier is "0x"

So....everyone gets 0 points?

 

[Trone_Colby]

They really love karts huh? Smh. At least I can just focus on Manu for Saturday then

 

[Pigems]

Naw, there is just no “Bonus” points tacked on top of the 1.0 is all(used to be 1.2-1.6). So less points really, because here is only 16 drivers instead of 20.

 

[milehighmadd]

New schedule looks pretty solid for both Manu and Nations. Longer races this time.

Manufacturer's seems geared favorably towards top end cars.

 

[The359]

Actually it says the points are Base 50, with 0x multiplier. I believe this past season it was Base 0 with 1x multiplier, which meant the normal points.

There are two actual spec races in the Nations Cup. Gallardo Gr.4 at Monza and Roadster Touring Car at Blue Moon.

 

[Marky264]

It say's I'll loose My Manufacturer Points that I have with the one I had already chosen (Mercedes) How can I check how many I have banked on my season If I choose to make the switch tomorrow?

You won't lose any points now as this is the start of the proper season. When the new Mazda comes out we get another chance to change manufacturer. It's at that point you will lose your points if you change to a different manufacturer than you started with.

 

[Josa]

You have 0 points now. You'll lose your points if by the end of May you decide to change to Mazda to use the new car.

 

[Marky264]

Ah I see! Thank you, Does that mean If I pick Mazda now and and still wanted the new RX-Vision to use in the future I'll still be technically classified as a change?

 

[xxPinkyKissxx]

Yeah as you’re still technically signing a new contract

 

[watto79]

Ah I see! Thank you, Does that mean If I pick Mazda now and and still wanted the new RX-Vision to use in the future I'll still be technically classified as a change?

As I understand it you would keep your points. What I guess will happen is you have to re-sign with Mazda, choose the new car, and you'd keep your points as they were gained with Mazda. Anyone changing to Mazda from another manufacturer would lose their points. That's mostly speculation but it would make sense.

More importantly.

So no fuel in qualy

 

[stpatty]

Delighted to see decent races for Nissan in Manu, but I honestly can't believe there are repeats from last season. I'm not one to go in for the melodramatic criticism of PD, but that's really embarrassing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No fuel consumption in qualifying. Good riddance fuel burning...

Now the dilemma in the out lap of qualifying is going to be everyone trying to find a drafting partner and not be the one stuck in front.
