UPGRADES! This season will now feature variable weather throughout races!

Weather
- Everyone pits automatically to get wet tires if the track wetness is over 50%, or to get dry tires if track wetness is under 50%
- Rain affects lap times, crashes, and tire wear
- You're more likely to crash the wetter the track is, but less likely to crash than others if you have a higher adaptability skill (only applicable in wet conditions)
- Tire wear does not change for dry tires on wet track, but is significantly increased for wet tires on not-quite-wet track. This is not affected by your adaptability.
- Wet conditions affect your driver's lap times significantly less if they have a higher adaptability skill.
- All weather information is reflected in the output text files which are uploaded with every race

What do you need to do this year?
Because of the addition of the adaptability skill, every team is awarded 3 skill points which can be put toward any of their drivers' adaptability skills only. With no upgrades, every driver has an adaptability skill of 1. Please upgrade your drivers by tomorrow evening. Race 1 The first qualifying session is tomorrow, and it will be in Kaeshar. Good luck!

next season update plans: Strategy... basically pit strategies and weather prediction and stuff. this will require an entire revamp of how pitting works and it'll be your pitting skill. higher pitting skill = better strats = better results, also maybe rain will be able to end races early if conditions get too bad/for too long

well it would appear we have disasters in the algorithms

if you're too good at a skill, and the track doesn't require that much skill... you actually do worse

soooooo we're going to fix that

the good news is, i'm fairly certain this doesn't really affect anything that's happened so far, because the effect is only noticeable below track difficulty 3 and above skill 8 (driver and car) or so, which considering both those things are rare (especially the latter) have probably not adversely affected much of anything

FIXED (qualifying is basically the same but we're running it again)

the new algorithm looks something like this, which is for a track of difficulty 5 (in any skill) and the x axis is the relevant car or driver skill:

the y axis is the modifier from the base lap time
the function is piecewise:
orange line is for skill < track difficulty
red line is for skill > track difficulty

here is what the red line looked like for a difficulty of 1 before the update, which is when it was the worst

so you can see how the modifier begins to get bigger beyond a certain point (turns out that point is actually e lmao)
the min at 2 difficulty was 2e
the min at 3 difficulty was 3e (negligible)
this mins at 4 and higher were beyond 10 so they were not a problem at all

... and it began to rain (also probably didn't affect much, since the track did not get very wet)

Kaeshari Qualifying

Corners - 5
Technical - 4
Straights - 7
Weather - tropics dry
Length - 100.10 s



The Kaeshari Grand Prix will be run tomorrow around the same normal time. You have until then to move one skill point on your car setup, or you may choose not to.
