    With the upcoming patch we will include bigger grid sizes for a selection of tracks.

    [​IMG]

    The exact amount of opponents you can select depends mostly on how many cars the pitlane can possibly host.

    [​IMG]

    The prime examples so far are Spa-Francorchamps (combined Layout) and Nordschleife,
    which both can host up to 99 opponents, while Norisring still allows only for 23.

    [​IMG]

    If you are creating an offline championship, the maximum number of opponents will be limited by the track layout you have in your calendar that has the least amount of opponents.

    This feature will be available on patch day for Single Player, but we do plan on allowing more players on dedicated servers. With the few volunteer betatesters we have in our team, it wasn't possible to fill up a server and test it properly. This is why we will "do it live" and host a special server ourselves and invite everyone to join it and report any issue you encounter.

    Once polished enough, the feature will then be unlocked for the regular dedicated servers.


    *WARNING*
    Due to the increased processing power needed for such big grids, it comes with an expected hit on performance. Therefore you should adjust the amount of opponents to your system capacity.

    Tip: Decrease the amount of visible cars in Visual Settings to gain back some performance.

    We are confident you will appreciate this feature and very grateful for the feedback you'll share with us!

    99 vehicles on Spa must be a sight! It is like you can almost see the rear lights of the last cars on Rouge when you are crossing the start/finish line on flying start ;)

    Amazing - even more cars than 24h Dubai this year :cool:
    I am ready to do some testing on your big servers!

    Hopefully there will be an option to include AI drivers in multiplayer sometime...

    Awesome feature, but is it possible to include in the furur update the possibility to choose what categories of cars we want on the grid (like lmp1/gt3 etc)?
    Like 24h of lemans and others

    It would be awesome (with night and rain in a futur ;) )
