How does the dlc work with an online server. Does everyone have to have it to be able to race or does the game 'represent' the dlc for you so that you can still see/race against someone using it?

Must apologise for missing the last race without notice, definitely making this one though. Haven't checked any times, but I expect to be slow as usual  , but its Spa! Can't wait for this one  Also regarding DLC, if its on the server then everyone has to own the DLC, meaning those without are not able to join. Whilst I have the DLC (those Maserati 250F's...), I woulnd't recommend using it halfway through a championship unless everyone taking part agrees to. |

Well it's a deal breaker if any of our regular racers haven't got it then. I can't introduce the F488 which is a bit of a shame.  |

If Eck really doesn't want to race the Audi for the rest of season I hate to see an unnecessary space on the grid, although I'd also not expect drivers to be able to change stead more than once. Anyone can make a mistake once  |

I have also put my setup on Stracker for any AMG users (still might make a few more changes, need more straight line speed to battle the Bentley's I noticed  ). Tried the one that is on setupmarket and it was absolutely horrible  Btw; isn't the 488 the only car so far with v10 tyres and brake temperature? If I remeber correctly the 1.8 update introduces this to almost all cars, think it was planned for the 26th. I got the DLC though. Instabuy with those F1 cars |

Despite my preference for no car changes generally, I don't mind Eck changing cars if it makes the racing more appealing and competitive for him. Rather that then lose a driver. For every new driver I get in I seem to lose another over the last few races. Been hard work running this, though also satisfying.  I did toy with changing the weather and atmospherics for this race but after trying a few combinations I'll stick with mid-clear. All looked too grey and bleak in moody weather though I quite liked the light fog. I'll let new man Glen know he can't use his shiny Ferrari for the series unfortunately. But any new series will make use of it so get purchasing gents, it's only a few quid. |

But you're right with the coming 1.8 update all gt3 cars will be updated to the v10 tires. |

This track and Paul Ricard are its two strongest layouts in the series I would say (as well as Monza but both Bentleys were on holiday!) plus I've always been a bit better at this track since my gtr2 days in a 911 not to mention pounding around Spa in my own car for two full days Of course now ive said that I'll be first into a wall at eau rouge  |

Well done Stefan though I still need to have unanimous ownership of the fezza dlc to give it the green light. The power of attraction for Ferrari is pretty strong in the motoring world so I wouldn't be surprised if there are budding Ferrari pilots waiting in the wings to join the series with their favoured steed. Bring on the Porsches I say though not the force in Gt racing they once were :'( they hardly figure in the Blancpain. I'm still wading through the real 24hr race at Spa a few weekends ago and the Bentley is battling the new BMW for the lead after 18hrs of racing |
