Important
Timetable has been updated: new start times for WTCR & GT3 and shorter support races
First of all, apologies to everyone: I made a mistake in the time calculations and with the current settings it will not be possible to join all 3 races. As there are quite a few people who aim to participate in all three, I want to make sure everyone has enough time to join the servers and not rely on being (un)lucky.

To stay as close to the original timetable as possible, a few small adjustments have to be made for the support races:

• Warmup is reduced to 1 minute
• Race duration is reduced to 24 minutes (which means 3 laps instead of 4)

New timetable

Spoiler: Duration of support race (quali + race) is +/- 1 hour and 15 minutes

Duration of support race:
30 mins qualification (+ 1 minute warmup + 1 minute garage + 1 minute for last minute joiners causing delays + rolling start) + 27-30 minutes of racing + 2-7 minutes waiting for the race to finish = 1 hour and 5-15 minutes +/-

DTM '92 server start: 18:00
DTM '92 qualification start: 18:35
DTM '92 race start: 19:07
DTM '92 race end: 19:40 - 19:45

WTCR '22 server start: 18:00
WTCR '22 qualification start: 19:30
WTCR '22 race start: 20:03
WTCR '22 race end: 20:35 - 20:40

GT3 server start: 18:00
GT3 qualification start: 20:30
GT3 race start: 21:04
GT3 race end: 23:30 - 23:35

 

yes, you are allowed to do both

 

No, the edit was for the timetable - the car list has not changed since the event has announced. Waiting for the M4 + physics is the main reason why the event is a little later than expected.

It's the same for the Ranked Servers running GT3 cars
