All WRC drivers,
The following addition has been made to WRC procedures
WRC New Driver Time Trial info
The WRC new driver TT (Time Trial) serves as your performance benchmark. WRC admin will use the lap data from this short test to place all new drivers into an appropriate racing division within the WRC series.
In order for WRC admin to validate your TT you are required to upload a video of your TT to an internet video service (such as YouTube). This can be done in one of two ways:
1. Use the Share feature of your PS4 to begin recording your TT from setup all the way through your final lap. Upload when complete. (max. 15 minutes)
2. Livestream your TT to a video service (such as YouTube) that records your entire session.
After you’ve completed and uploaded your TT, simply provide the Series Director with a link to the video. That’s it!
Note: Although WRC admin has no way to control how much effort you spend preparing for the time trial, we suggest a minimal amount of lapping beforehand. Too much practice may result in exaggerated data and may place you in an inappropriate division. We suggest no more than 10-12 laps.
The following outlines the required settings and video content that need to be included in your TT video. It must be said that these settings MUST be included in the video and they MUST be correct. Failure to provide video of correct settings SHALL invalidate your time trial. However, any settings NOT specified below will not have any effect on the validity of your TT no matter the configuration.
Uploaded video must begin at the Project CARS home screen and should end no earlier than Turn 1 of your 6th lap.
