I cant say I've every experienced this or noticed it. Are there any indicators to look out for? Does the front tire hard lock like "No ABS", or is it more a partial locking with extended brake distances? Does the abs light flicker yellow when this happens? Curious.

Visually there's no indication on the HUD which is frustrating. What the bug does though is switch your ABS setting from "Default" to "Weak". So if you brake the amount you are used to there will be partial wheel lockup. If you're using a wheel the other most apparent thing is the FFB will go very light, as if you've lost all grip. In the beginning a lot of people, including @F4H Super GT suspected that it was an FFB issue because of that.

You can observe it in replays or in chase cam by seeing the extra white smoke under braking from wheel lock, but otherwise there's no visual indication. I'll try and get a clip from last night uploaded to share here.

I'm on a G29, and so far have not noticed this.
 
It's good to know that the wheel FFB will feel difference too because you can feel that more easily. I saw AngryEater locking up a bunch but I think he runs without ABS
 
@SDM_Viper I see you chose the Mercedes but it already full taken. Please look at the Car Regulations to see what's available.

How do you create the multi-angle image of the your livery? That's a really neat effect.

@AngryEater FYI @aceboy127 number is actually 27, should probably check registration before you make liveries. ;)

Also @DesertPenguin signed up as a reserve with the #98, only running a limited schedule thou. (Catalunya and the Spa 2.4)

Edit: noticed on the second look at the entry list, #23 is taken, switched to number above

I do, so fun. Additional benefits include brakes working as intended.
 
I am going to do the BMW M6 GT3 then. My number will be #2. And my race team will be Gasoprine Racing. With Gasoprine as my Sponsor.
 
Okay, thanks. I can't get the fancy driver list updated properly but the Car Regulations section will be up to date after adding you to BMW
 
Thanks for noticing, I had not. Force of habit; not used to Ace being anything but 23.
 
Can someone please share the replay for the Pro Division race?
 
I'm just looking at this series and thinking how are you doing a blancpain series without Monza? You have to go there no matter what, and what's up with all this sunshine? I can understand using sun to force high tire wear on some tracks like Laguna but every race seems like overkill. Change it up a little with cloud, or maybe even *gasp* rain.
 
This isn't a Blancpain GT European Series, it's the Intercontinental Challenge. They don't race at Monza. Also, we used Monza last season.

As far as the weather, I'm not gonna have rain but I guess I can switch a race to a cloudy day.
 
Well that tells me there's about 3 races too many on the calendar, 4 if you're trying to make the schedule as close to real as possible.
 
Did you read the first post? It's an 8 week season and we include those races from the real series. No one wants to race a three week season.
 
I kinda like this rain idea. Although, as if I don't spin out enough already during dry conditions.
 
How would everyone feel about including a rain race next season? Should I make a poll?

If you want a rain race, post what track(s) you'd like it at.

@DesertPenguin, you took the time out to create this series, as much as I hate rain, I'll run it. Point is, dont let personal opinions change what you got going here! It will be a good time no matter what!:cheers:

Yea, don't let my desire to run the most ridiculous races change what you've got. I'm so crazy I ran Tank Cars at Kart Space on the PS3. But, rain does make everything look pretty.
