UNITED RACERS LEAGUE - SEASON 4!!

Season 4 will see the biggest changes in URL since Season 2, where the mixed class grids and 3 extra car models were introduced. To explain the concept behind those changes, let's split it in a few blocks:

New Leagues
There will be 3 Leagues jointly, instead of two as we had since Season 1. To better suit our drivers all over the world, a Division concept used on several sports series is being implemented and we'll have 2 URL-2 Championships running at the same time: URL-2 West, URL-2 East. And, of course, URL-1. All 3 Leagues will be racing on the same set of cars / tracks / rules, so no compromise will be needed.

Summary of new race times:

URL-1: Saturdays, 9pm GMT/UTC (4pm EST; 2pm PST)

URL-2 East: Fridays, 9pm GMT/UTC (4pm EST; 2pm PST)

URL-2 West: Fridays, 8pm EST; 6pm PST (Saturday 1am GMT/UTC)

*Times subject to DST changes, see forum for more details.

People can run in as many leagues as they like, and can choose different teams for each league!

Season 4 cars
The same 8 models of cars available at Season 3 were brought forward to Season 4:
URL-1: Audi R15 TDi, McLaren F1, Porsche 911 GT1-98 and Porsche 956 (Spotter Guide)
URL-2: Corvette C5-R, Aston Martin DBR9, Audi R8 GT and Ferrari 458 Italia (Spotter Guide)

A total of 80 skins complete with helmets, wheel rims, and even some sound upgrades have been made on top.

The URL2 car remains largely the same in terms of physics after the warm reception it gained in season 3. Meanwhile the URL1 car physics have been overhauled to a more standard style compared to the Reborn physics used previously. Early impressions suggest that the new physics are proving to be very popular.

Other Changes

- New calendar as usual, containing many classic circuits as well as some URL favourites, as voted for by racers
- URL1 race length increased to 60 minutes
- A move to the use of real names ingame
Plus many more minor upgrades. See this thread for full details!

Hope to see you on track,
The United Racers League team.
