I know this has been around for a bit but when you read it, it does make you think PC2 could be special...

“Vitale and I were flipping through what Pirelli had brought to the session—sort of a ‘prepare’ or summary mode, which helps us choose areas to dig into,” recalls AJ. “The moment I saw the patch pressure distribution sheets, all sorts of bells started sounding in my head. I knew immediately that we’d just stumbled onto something crucial. I ran downstairs to tell Casey.”
“It was a really simple thing with a big impact!” recalls Casey. “See, our SETA tyre model breaks down the contact patch of each tyre to 36 individual points of contact, and we can visualize the contact patch pressure profile of each tyre while driving. Pirelli does similar testing on real-world tyres, and AJ had seen what the contact patch pressure of the real tyre looked like compared to ours. Most crucially, he noticed a disparity between the two models.
“We immediately began fiddling with our 720S tyre to make it look more like the real thing. With Chris testing the changes, we realised there was a direct correlation to making a tyre that looked right, to having a tyre with the right handling and steering feel. Just like that, we’d transformed the feel of the 720S, and Chris was absolutely delighted.”
Not only the 720S. Armed with Pirelli’s contact patch pressure profiles, Casey and AJ immediately got to work altering the tyre model on all the cars on Project CARS 2. It wasn’t long before drivers such as Tommy Milner, and Vaughn Gittin Jr., and Ben Collins began sending them exultant feedback on the handling of the cars in-game.

First change to the website is that when a new user goes to willy-web.com/gt6 they can't see really what it's all about and either run away or they want to see what it's about, register and if they don't like it they never come back again. So this is resulting in either people not joining or creating 'dead' logins.
So now when they go the url they see a restricted version of the home page, chat, menu and who's racing now (thought current players would want this to remain private) are all hidden away.

The second thing is a bit cooler. If you are running PCLapUpdater and in "Send all Laps" mode, ie your name is showing up on the who's racing now list, then the website goes into Auto-Update mode and refreshes every 10 secs. This means that you can have the website open while your driving and you'll see live updates.

I potentially have a few 'proper' drivers interested who might take the challenge to the quick boys...

that's quite cool, I don't suppose it means you actually have to drive you can just sit and monologue on the website chat, not that it's my thing or anything you know Yeah but i like to sit and watch the times update while I'm having a cuppa if someone else is racing, like Tronneh the other night...the autoupdate does work, but when you click on to the "Racing Now" tab to look at the times the refresh takes you back to the home screen, it doesn't bother me that much but a little countdown timer to refresh would warn me it was coming...
On the kitchen thing, do people describe your wife as "long suffering" lol...how have you not killed yourself or destroyed the house yet, I thought I was clumsy/accident prone?

Does lapupdater go into a sleep mode? I started up without starting the game and after a bit I've disappeared from the "Racing Now" list and autoupdater has gone off...
The website makes an assumption that if PCLapUpdater hasn't sent a message for 10 minutes then you're not actually 'Racing Now'born2bslow said:

I can't replicate that. If I'm on the home screen, and in 'Auto-Update' mode, I can click on to the Racing Now section and it stays there. The refresh has been improved by the way to every second.On the kitchen thing, do people describe your wife as "long suffering" lol...how have you not killed yourself or destroyed the house yet, I thought I was clumsy/accident prone
