It is an award for the car that uses the least amount of fuel, oil, and has the fewest breakdowns. It is very prestigious because it shows how durable vehicle is in extreme racing conditions.

You will need to wait, it take up a good ammount of time, and Der Bayer is a busy man. It will come, just be patient. :)

Re: The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

Yeah, I haven't been able to work on it for a few weeks now. I cannot promise when the next competition will happen. But it is very likely that it won't be before next update (which does not mean that it will be then).

Re: The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

Another BROBOT feature question:
  • Can the race organizer configure the rate of tyre wear?
  • Can the race organizer accelerate the rate of fuel consumption?
I'm imagining races run with 2x or 3x tyre wear and fuel consumption, to simulate an endurance race in a shorter timespan.

Re: The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

Very cool. :)

Looking at the safety car feature ... do you think there will be flying starts for the BRC 1976?

Re: The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

ooh. reliability of the engine and the car is now calculated separately?
aw yyiiiisss time to pull off my reliable build skillz

also, is there a maximum time for the SC to be on the track?
because it being too long on the track is gonna eat up our fuel for nothing and screw some of our strategies.

1 last thing, is it possible to make a irregular stop on 'safety car lap'?
since most of the car is held back behind the SC anyway, it seems to be a good time to pit.

Re: The BRC is dead... [NEW CHALLENGE DISCUSSION]

@koolkei: I think Der Bayer said in the video that you could configure your strategy to include irregular pit stops during safety car laps. It wasn't in the template he showed, but presumably it'll be added.
