Changes for Season 48 and Season Series Deadlines

Season is ending and as usual we bring you the Series Deadlines as well as some new things!

NEW THINGS FOR SEASON 48

- F1 Tanking Adjustments
New tanking adjustments, as highlighted last April in this post, are coming into place this season.

- DTWS and GT Adjustments
Just like in real life, DTWS races will now run to one hour time limit, and the fuel tanks will be reduced to 60L in order to make drivers stop once per race. This has been done so to mimic real life DTM rules, where a mandatory stop is required.
As DTWS and GT series use the same cars, the 60L fuel tank will apply to World GT Series as well, but tyre wear is so high it shouldn't change strategies there.

- Lapped Cars Fix
In the past, all cars in a race completed all the laps in a race. Even if someone was 5 laps down, he theoretically drove those 5 laps after the winner had finished, and a driver retiring on the last lap would fall behind all the lapped cars.
This will no longer be the case. Whenever the winner ends the race, lapped drivers will not complete the laps lost, will appear as "LAPPED" on the race standings and will not pass drivers who retire on the last lap.

- Clubs Series
The test period for the Clubs Series has ended. Series races will count for rating and trophies will be handed at the end of the season. Both challenge and series races will count for overall Club rating.

- Supercars Tweak
Changes have been made to Supercars series in order to make passing easier and more realistic. It is a small tweak and we expect feedback on this change, to see if it needs further adjusting.

- Calendar Changes
Just the introduction of Red Bull Ring MotoGP for all relevant Moto series, and a small tweak to F4 Hungary.

THINGS IN THE WINGS

We are aware that we haven't been able to introduce all the proposed changes yet, but we will get there. Hopefully this season will see some test races for Endurance Club races.
For the future, we are also working on automatically rotating calendars for the lower Season Series, custom U25 series, more options for private series, the much-awaited Rally overhaul and more!
