CS-closed GT Challenge - Season 4

Intro:
It's back - again.. challenge yourself!
The challenge series will support multiple splits.
Based on the hotlap qualifier, will be sorted into several splits with 30 drivers.
While the Challenge Series has an overall ranking which determines who goes up to Pro Series or Relegation after the Season (which is 6 Rounds long), the CS will base the results off the last 2 races who goes into what split. First 2 races uses the PreQual. As you can see, the grids in Challenge are more fluent and with this we try to always match you with a great group to race. Promotion/Demotion between Split 1 and Pro Series only happens once a season though, after all rounds have been finished, based on Overall Points.

Required content:
We will be using all our GT3 cars and tracks as posted below.
To qualify you need the GT3 pack and tracks used during the season: Monza, Sebring and Spa + the free content.

Splits:
Splits will be sorted by our competition system (first race is qualifying).

Broadcast:
We will be broadcasting our top split race on our Twitch channel

Final standings

 

Actually what is the reason that Loch Drummond is moved to thursday?

 

A conflict with another event, something that is not announced yet so i cant say.

 

What is the car selection process for GT Challenge? Is the car you qualify with your car for the season? Thank you.

 

Hi Adam
The car you pick when signing up for the qualifying sessions is the car you pick. So make sure you get the right one

 

Which is the track for the qualifying session?

 

From what I've read, the pre qualification takes place on the first track of the season - which is Monza.

 

Prequalifications for anything in challenge (both series) is the first event yes.

 

Below where? Am I missing something? Please post list of needed cars.

Are you going to use all GT3 cars so also Porsche 911 GT3 Cup?
And old version of Bentley?
Tnx.

PS: I know you write GT3 Pack, but I got GT3 pack years ago and I don't have 488GT3

 

Below seems to be the sentence below that sentence

The GT3 pack should be the GT3 PACK that they sell in the store (includes the 488GT3)
https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/365960/detail/1001/

 

Yes, but as I said I got the first GT3 Pack (without 488GT3), so maybe a list would be nice and easy to do.
Like this:

• Aston Martin Vantage GT3
• Audi R8 GT3 2018
• Audi R8 GT3 2019
• Bentley Continental GT3 2017
• Bentley Continental GT3 2020
• BMW M6 GT3
• Callaway Corvette GT3-R
• McLaren 650S GT3
• McLaren 720S GT3
• Mercedes AMG GT3
• Porsche 911 GT3 R
• Radical RXC Turbo GT3
• Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020

 

Its the entire GT3 pack as i linked, inside there you can see what content it is. ALL GT3 cars as mentioned is all..well GT3

 

Hi!
Is there a limit of attempts to try the quali?

 

I think you can attend every session there is and do as many laps as you can in a single session, at least that's what it was like last season.

 

No, none

 

Attached you will find Monza base setups for the Aston, Audi, BMW, Boatley, Ferrari, McLaren x2, Porsche, and Corvette. Enjoy

 

Thank you

 

Hello, i searched but couldnt find, ambient and track temperature of qualy servers ? also the virtual day time is on it pls ?

 

Hello, was there a problem with pre-qualy session 2.8? Because it is still showing up in my sessions with the join button...more importantly though, my laptime has not been added to the leaderboard from that session.

 

Same here..
