To celebrate the launch of our brand new merch shop, you can get 5% discount using the code "SEASON21" at checkout for the first 25 people!
We've invested in doubling the performance of the website; which should result in faster response times across the board, however comes at doubling the website cost, which is what you guys support us with!
Peer Review Changes
The incident description and protest description fields have been removed.
The incident description is now being decided by the example selected.
The protest description has been replaced by a dropdown box.
Penalty Application Changes
Penalties can now be applied against the REPORTING driver, meaning that if you submit a report and are found at fault, you can receive the penalty instead of the reported driver (or the one fitting the incident itself, which could be more or less of a penalty).
Penalty Group Changes
Penalty groups have been updated and a couple of new incident types being added.
Current race now accounts for 1/3rd of your CPI in the calculation, with the other 2/3rds made up by your historic races.
Race Length Modifier Removed.
Clean Race Bonus Updated (0x) with a maximum of +1 PitRep.
Updates will be more obvious that the CURRENT RACE IP has been taken into account.
If a race is "shorter" you will receive a slight modifier to ensure you don't lose PitRep as easy.
Gains / Loss Cap implemented.
Added a new helpdesk & support portal to the menu, allowing tickets to be raised via the website and also allow for us to add new FAQ updates from various members of staff, to hopefully solve a lot of questions much quicker; as well as to allow us to manage tickets that may be raised, as a VIP you also have access to "real time" support via the discord ticketing system.
You can find this by going to Support -> Help & Support on the main menu.

No changes to current configuration.
No changes to current configuration; however a race MAY be added earlier in the day dependent on demand increasing in the future
The Trophy challenge will remain the same as last season; as the races that it provided were fantastic to watch and ensured that there was an "expected" level of skill that needed to be achieved to partake.
Although we understand that this MAY reduce the chances of the race splitting, it will ensure that when it doesn't, the grid is still fairly close for stream battles!
Minimum Licence Class remains C Class.
Big Grid & PitSkill qualifying rounds have been removed.
No changes.
The reason for the below changes is as there is already the GO Setups GT Daily series at C Class, so to give something "different" between the two, we have increased the minimum licence class; which should hopefully result in some cleaner racing!
Minimum Licence Class change to B Class.
Splits set to 50 and PitSkill requirement removed.
Sponsored by a Diamond Level Patreon, there will be a brand new series, the GT2 and GT4 Multiclass series running every Friday at 20:30 CET (19:30PM UTC which is the same slot as the GO Daily) running GT2 and GT4 class cars.
Minimum Licence Class: C Class
1hr Race
20min Qualifying
1 Mandatory Pit with Fixed Time Refueling
The SimQuips Monday night series will remain, however I'll leave that for SimQuips himself to decide what tomfoolery befits the slot.
Weekly, Sunday single car races.
Changes:
Single timeslot: 21:00 UTC (5pm EST)
A single slot will hopefully improve engagement when a Royal Rumble is not running. The Rookie class level will also help. (Was 2 spots for EU and US)
Monday - 8:45 EST/12:45 AM UTC (same time as the GO daily)
No Changes upcoming for next season
Friday - 8:45 EST/12:45 AM UTC (same time as the GO daily)
