    Interesting point system. Would be a good basis to convert it into vRPs at the end :D

    There will be later in the year ViperNo23. That's mentioned in this article.

    I know S3S mentioned in the Dev Stream that DTM15 cars would be used for online competitions before their release but had no idea it would be on this grand a scale. Once again, nice job S3S. A virtual championship is doing it up right!

    No worries man. It's going to be great to "test drive" the 2015 models on real tracks before they come out for the single player mode. I'm nowhere near competitive enough to get a chance to race em but I can sure test drive em.

    I already loved the SpringCup.. But as said this is on quite a bigger scale..
    Very cool initiative, a pleasant surprise and nice way for us to get to know the '15 cars and the tracks for those who dont have them.. :cool:

    @Mike Demers
    Due to the fact that we both probably won't reach the finals :rolleyes: it's nevertheless a cool idea to promote the 2015 Series and checking out the new models with advanced physics for free ?...mmmh...yummy :)

    I really like this stuff!
    Already did few laps and scored at 19th position from 154 with 1 33 451...

    The idea of virtual Championship is so sweeeet!
    I hope to cut one more second to get in top 10, but this is very-very hard...

    Car settings is default, I have changed nothing.
    Try to do some laps following somebody's hotlap @ Hocken through in-game leaderboards so you can learn the lane and braking points. This is how I learn. Picking somebody's 1,31 and trying to beat him chasing his ghost.

    +1 I just checked the leaderboard and laptimes are already quite ok :cool: after a few hours. And some well known very fast guys are still missing and will burn their incredible fast laptimes into the tarmac. But it's all about the fun and interesting to assess the own skill...and still a huge gap :p. The experience from the spring event should help to iron out some issues that occured last time and this here should be an even more exciting event.

    Thx for the flowers Mike, but I won`t have the time to do endless laps to gain a few millisecs...and as a geriatric thats what you need most: Time :)

    Btw. I`m impressed @Sector3 that you guys found the time to work on the DTM 2015 Series, was pretty sure they will come to the end of the season...Is there a " Sector 4 Shadow Developement Team" we don`t know of ? :)

    Love it....can't wait to get stuck i..... Oh wait @Sonat Ozturk Does this count as a competition that the Beta Testers can't take part in..?

    Just did a installation lap if ya like... But the FOV seems so much wider than my setting.
