Don't really like these cars, will be just like another gt86 season, but I will go Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec

I think these cars are a lot more lively on track than the GT86, and the different cars on track will all have their strengths and weaknesses while remaining close.

Do we choose which of the 2 cars we switch to mid-season? If so it's the 370z for the 1st half and the Supra for the rest. 

No, you don't have to choose the second half car yet. I'll be asking again at the time.

There's been a change in 1.7.2 to be aware of for Tuesday night:

Pit Box Indicator is visible only if player is in the pitline

Apparently it can make it difficult to see your pit box in time if it's very close to the pit entrance, but I don't think that will be too much of an issue here.

Does anyone have the sound of music going through their head when driving Redbull? 

Ummmmm..... no

Season 13 features rounds of 3, 20 minute, reverse grid sprint races in selected cars from the Japanese Pack (DLC).

Cars

• RX-7 Spirit R
• 370z Nismo
• Supra MKIV
• Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec

Cars are ballasted (RX-7, 145kg and 370z, 115kg) for parity. You'll have to swap between the two groups (RX-7 or 370z, swapping to Supra or Skyline and vice versa) half way through the season to balance out any unfair advantage that might creep in due to the ballast.

Race 1 prac/qual starts at 8:30pm Eastern time, and there is usually a long practice session before that, starting from around about 6:00pm.

Round Format
Each race is a full reverse grid race with no qualifying sessions (only round 1, race 1, has a qualifying session to set start order for that round). Each race in other rounds is in reverse order of championship points standings.

Fuel and tyres are 1x and there are no compulsory pit stops.

Start Lights
We'll use AC's new jump start detection, with a drive through penalty enforced by the game that must be taken in the 1st 3 laps. The PLP start lights will NOT be used. You will need to make sure you have the latest PLP app downloaded HERE to turn the PLP lights off.

Points
Points in each race are 24, 23, 22 down to 1.
Fastest lap in each race gets a 1 point bonus.

Penalties
Every opening lap major infringement (e.g. avoidable rear hits, unsafe track re-entry causing accidents etc), will be awarded 90 kg of penalty ballast for the corresponding race of the next round (90 kg is approximately 10 seconds over the whole race, but the time lost will vary from track to track and car to car).

Weather
Weather will be taken from the local circuit forecast on each actual race day. Races are at 10:00am, 1:00pm and 4:00pm in game time.

Track grip will simulate rainy conditions:
Damp track - 85% grip
Wet track - 75% grip
Very wet track - 65% grip

That's good to hear slideways!


I'm on 1502 hours, and AC still feels like it's always improving. The netcode is solid. I just raced against some AI, and they are very impressive now, taking multiple lines and not just racing single file.


And finally, drive through penalties.

I'm glad it's useful. I use it all the time too.
