Hi, does anyone know why the CP races don't start at 21.00h CET anymore?
Is it because of Daylight saving time?

 

yes, they are back to the normal schedule, 16:00 18:00 20:00 22:00 and 1:00.

 

Looks like there is a CP race now every hour with a race lenght of 30min only. I hope the later timeslots 16, 18, 20,22 and 01 are still longer races. In that case I like the addition of sprint CP races during the day.

That is the most disapointing change in ACC since early access. I am absolutely devastated that there will be no more longer races in the main slots. Since when is GT racing and ACC and CP racing about 30min sprints. What you have done there is make the CP races be open lobby full risk sprints. It will be a mess. Please, please, please give us at least the known race durations during the old timeslots. The newly added hourly sprints can be a nice addition during the rest of the day and will be regularly used.

I cannot understand why the devs would so drastically mess with a system that they clearly state works so well. I am shocked.

 

There is also a high demand for just sprint races within your own skill level (ELO) that you can finish in a fixed time frame, which can be done anytime.
I did 2 sprint races on Monza yesterday and we had no yellow flag in the first two laps, so it is not necessarily a mess.

The 1 hour race with pitstop is cool, maybe they can get that running in the future again with a slightly modified schedule, we'll see.

 

Don't get me wrong, I really like the fact that we have CP races now all day long, I will participate. BUT: I absolutely cannot understand why these 30min sprints are now the ONLY option of "high level multiplayer racing" in ACC. Kunos develops a high end simulation with a sophistocated tire model with tire wear and brake wear and refueling and tire changes and gradually changing weather and NONE of that is available to actually use on a simulation level in multiplayer without using a third party provider. We are all proud of calling ACC a simulation but now the "in game multiplayer content" is down to "game level". Which professional racing series in the world uses 30min races WITH a forced pitstop? The new 1.8 update is absolutely brilliant in terms of physics and performance improvements but at the same time the CP races go towards arcade racing. The difference to open lobby is just so small.
Compared to iRacing the new CP format resambles the very entry level series for the first steps in the licence process of iRacing. There are also hourly races. Come on, Kunos, most of your users are much better than that, give them some endgame content to challange us!
I know, one of the answers will be: join a league. I think I am not alone in the ACC fanbase who is not a teenager with a free schedule. I have a family, kids, a job etc. Simracing is not my first priority but I still love it very much. I cannot commit to a fixed schedule. That's what I loved about ACC that on a free evening I could join a "league level" race with all the things that this awesome Sim has to offer. I am still in server 1 every time, I am not slow.

I also do not understand what the logic of Kunos behind this decision is. They outline in detail how successful the old CP format was and then they change it completely. Why not add the hourly sprints during the times where there were no races so far and keep the well established and beloved format during the old hours?

 

I get the 30min races to be able to have an hourly schedule.

Would it be possible in any way to have two separate schedules?
The first schedule starting on full hour (or 5 minutes before, like now) and the second schedule starting always 15minutes past every even hour for a longer race?
So if you want to have a short 30min race, you'll go for the full hour session.
If you'd like to have a longer race 45/60 or even 90min possible, then you go for the 15min past even hour session.

There would still be races every hour but also longer races.
Maybe the second schedule is something for beginning in the afternoon at 16:15 / 18:15 / 20:15 / 22:15 and on weekends starting at 8:15 or 10:15

 

Good idea

 

Very jealous of the new CP format for EU boys. Looks like it will be a lot of fun too bad there are so few drivers here in NA

 

We've just updated our ACC CP Calendar and added a real-time countdown for races and additional info regarding race format & mandatory pitstop rules probability.
