ADAC GT Master 2015 rules/presets are broken/not playable

[gilded zealot]

Hi everyone,

just driven on the Sachsenring with the GT Masters 2015 rule set, but during the race I noticed that the rules are broken in the game. Even so with the mandatory pit stop the pit stopp window didn`t show up. But the biggest problem is, that you can't select driver change. I was in the box, but couldn't select driver change , because the option was not there. In the pit stop preset the option was not there as well. The AI didn't even perform a pit stop. At the end of the race everyone including myself got DQ (failed the driver change...). It would be good to get the driver change option back in the game to play with the GT Masters rules.

there has never been an option to select driver change ; as technically it a) wasnt mandatory (you could do the whole raceon your own ) and we dont have driver changes in rr

[stray atlas]

the adac experience had that actually. of course you would still keep on driving, but the stop would take longer as far as i remember

[soft mirage]

and if you check the preset the mandatory pitstop isnt forced on

[stray atlas]

but those presets don't really work.
After all, just select mandatory pitstop, set it to 70 seconds and ai will actually change the drivers itself

[soft mirage]

it has a 65 second preset for stop time , to allow 2 car and 1 car teams to fight equally

Excatly that. As the GT Masters was an independent game/experinece, you could perform a driver change. Of course as ShotyBuzz mentioned you still drove the car yourself after the "driver change". Maybe after the GT Masters Experience was implemented to R3E the option was forgotten or deleted. The option is still there, but you can't select it.

Nope, the AI didn't do a pit stop and everyone get DQ, because we miss the requirement of a driver change.

Nah i meant: when i did a race with mandatory stop and used the adac ai, they changed the ai driver on their own.
But yeah, those presets seem to be outdated/ancient/left overs from that time. But i will try to look into that. But don't expect positiv feedback 😅

[gilded zealot]

Ah, you mean custom presets. I will give it a try.

[gilded zealot]

I tried it with custom presets, but that didn't work either. As for now it seems that you can't drive R3E with the GT Masters rules anymore. That is really a shame.

I have found a video from me. It was recorded in 2019 with the GT Masters 2018 cars. There it was still possible to perform a "driver change". At 31:00 I'm driving into the pits.

Here is another video from 2020. It's with the GT Masters 2015 cars. In this video I'm going in the pits at 34:30.

I think, at this time, there were already the GT Masters presets and their were working. So something in between changed or was deleted.

Alright, will look tomorrow 😄

Thanks. 👍

So, I tried to recreat the race from the first video (Most, ADAC 18) with preset rule set ADAC 15. Nothing happened.
Did the same with activation of mandatory pitstop. Nothing happened.
Will try custom rule set, set mandatory pit and corresponding pit time.
So for now: yes, presets are broken, don't use them and try setup custom in a similar way 😅 As far as I saw on the forum, it sounds like the presets are broken since 2020 when ADAC 2020 was released (at least around that time).
So there are 3 options after i report this: 1. they ignore, 2. they fix, 3. they delete
Personally I don't believe they will be fixed.

On another note: don't use Most with AI, the pitlane path is broken and the crash just crash into the tire wall 😅
