about the points system, there are pro's and con's top everything. We opted to present an insentive to make it to the top 3 in every main final, whether it's the B Main or the K Main...
Often the top-3 in one main actually perform better than the last 3 in the one higher main. So this system compensates a bit for not taking the overall standings at the end but by Main.
Anyway, we feel there is enough challenge in the new system to try to get the best out of yourself.

I wish they would switch back to the female announcer voice for laptimes and stuff. If I remember right, it was a female voice back in the day before VRC Pro launched and it was onroad only. Would be nice to hear something hot sounding, so tired of the dude I have turned off announcer volume totally lately, LOL

I'll see what I can do with this, it's a lot of work to do new recordings...

The changes are nice, but I'm also not a big fan of the new points system.
If anything, make better prizes (extra .50 euro or something) for the top 3 in the B, C, etc. Real races at least give them plaques and such, but points I don't think it should give more.

what kinda point system is that? why would a person finishing 12th overall get more points then someone who finish's 8th overall?
It is kind of like an integrated bump up system,
Have you ever got so far into the official event to make it to the C' or D' main? You race the best you can and win your main, then you look up the leader board only to fin that the bottom three or four driver in the main ahead of you didn't even run. That is why this system was implemented. Im not an official anything for VRC but I know they put much consideration into this system and asked for input. There is at least ten pages of comments in the forum dating back 2-3 months.

I ran with 7 last night and had no issues at all. I actually ran the best race of my onroad career with that run.
It took concentration to focus on the track and not the oponent, which is just like real racing. I am completely thrilled with this virtual opponent system.
My wife on the other hand is not so happy.

...test how many virtual opponents your PC can handle before your frame rate drops...
I tested it on a old dual core computer but with a good graphic card, which makes around 120 FPS, and once I added two virtual opponents with my car, I was still around 90FPS, which is enough to play, but I had a delay that I don't get in normal mode, and I was unable to drive as fast as I can (actually it's more than just slower, it's nearly one mistake each lap due to that delay).
I will try it on my newer computer to see if it does the same.
