    I fully agree on the second part of your message, but I beg to differ on the first half.
    The first thing I do for instance in PCars or Assetto is download real liveries. Not because I want to see specific brands on a car, but to dive into the full immersion of being part of the real racing series.

    Absolutely agree with you. That is one of the main advantages of RaceRoom in my opinion. I personally don’t like random skins in my racing games. It breaks the immersion a lot. Good to have a lot of licensed series in RaceRoom and for me it doesn’t matter where the sponsor logos are glued

    We are still missing the teases of the Golf and Hyundai I think, so most probably no ;)

    I guess that is what @Robert Wiesenmüller was referring to, when he said we should keep our sundays free? :)

    Tomorrow it is then! Robert Wiesenmüller any chance of giving us a broad idea of Vrp required? might save a bit of congestion at the shop.

    Well, in the middle.

    What we did last year with the 4 divisions was a nice concept but it had a few problems:
    1) Division 3 and 4 usually had a small grid cause a lot of the people who qualified were too casual for league racing and didn't even realize that they qualified for something.
    2) It was really demotivating when you "overqualify" and despite of improving, you actually get penalized by not getting into a race at all, and as a result...
    3) People always drove slow on purpose to get into division 2 and distorted the competition.

    So what we do this year is we host 4 servers again, but we do not invite according to the divisions, but we invite the overall best 96 drivers instead and split them into 4 servers (1-24 in Server 1, 25-48 Server 2 etc.)
    Judging by experience, some people always qualify and then don't have time, so you probably get into a race up to ca. P110 or so.

    This year you need to own the content to participate, so I think it will be a bit less players on the leaderboard, and only the more dedicated people to RaceRoom. Sure, for a few of you it might be a disappointing decision, but overall I think it is more fair and I believe that most of you that drove at least in Div 2 and 3 last year still have a chance this year! If you push really hard!

    I still dream of a system with many races where you can register ingame, without e-mails, with many many servers... so far it is not possible but we have not lost hope yet.
