Writer's picture: KlorpteKlorpte

SEASON STARTING MONDAY 20th JANUARY

🌐 WEBSITE

Starting today the new website is live. We are still editing some final parts and since it brings a lot of changes you might still face some bugs. Please let us now when you encounter any issues so we can fix it ASAP. 🔟 SEASON 10

Today and tomorrow we will still be in season 10 events. You can click the "GO BACK TO SEASON 10" Button to enter the old events page. Monday we will kick off with the new events, and you can already claim your seats in the events.

🆕 NEW EVENT TYPES

We have divided our events into seperate classes:


STARTER EVENTS EU/US

Daily Ranked Racing - Same track all week - No XCL Rating or Safety requirements (open to all XCL Members) - Designed for new members building their Safety Rating before joining our daily races or just anyone who likes to jump into a quick race on their favourite track! For our US members and hoping to build the American side of Sim Racing, we have also added daily events starting in EST evenings! (7pm - 11pm EST)

Format: 30min race, pitstop fuel only


AMATEUR EVENTS

Daily Ranked Racing - Different type of events and race lengths, like multiclass and short endurance - These events have a minimum requirement of 6.0 Safety Rating, no XCL Rating requirement - New members will have to drive clean in multiple races before getting into these events, designed to hopefully create a safer place to race for our regular members -


PRO EVENTS

This is your previous Bronze+ division, we strongly hope that we can empower the higher ranked racing with Season 11 and get more of the higher rated driving together in more close combat races - The requirements for these events will be 7.0 SR and 2000+ XCL Rating (Bronze License) - Progress trough the Amateur category to join in on these longer (45 min.) daily races with random weather.


XCLUSIVE EVENTS

This will be a space for the fastest and most consistant drivers. Restriction will be 8.0 SR and Silver license. Currently this part of Season 11 is still under construction but the current plan is to have Pro Series like events hosted here. We will also introduce a new Elite Time Trial with a dedicated race. This way fast but new members will be able to instantly compete with the fastest and higher rated drivers if they choose to and can perform well in this 1 month during Time Trial. By entering a Titan event you will be able to have a massive XCL Rating boost if you can defeat the Silver+ drivers.

⚠️ SAFETY RATING

As you may have noticed from the new event restrictions, Safety Rating (SR) has become more important than ever. You guys are responsible for keeping the grid clean from reckless drivers. Don't hesitate or feel bad about reporting. Every penalty will give the reported driver a drop in SR. This gives the members the power to degrate someone from a certain event category should the penalty be given by the stewards.

The greater the penalty and/or multiplier, the higher the SR loss. If you feel someone doesn't deserve a spot in amateur, pro or XCLusive grids, you can report them if they are not behaving on track. We do not want to exclude people from racing, but we strongly strive to close, but fair and clean racing.

Should your SR drop below 6.0 after reports, you can just join a couple Starter Events and work it back up. The average gain is 0.3 per 30 min. of clean racing (not being reported/penalised). Starter events will have no restriction, but are still free for everyone to join offcourse.


📈 XCL RATING

As some have already noticed. The XCL Rating borders for our licenses have been shifted. This is to give a more honoust representation of ones skill. To give an example, @Klorpte is decently fast, but isn't on the same level as @fastfanatical, and is certainly not as fast and consistant as @🇫🇮Juvilainen

The new borders are:

0001 - 2000 Rookie

2000 - 3500 Bronze

3500 - 5000 Silver

5000 - 6500 Gold

6500 - 8000 Platinum

8000 > Alien

All drivers achieving a certain license will still keep this as they have certainly proved their skill. But if you haven't unlocked the higher rank, you will now have to grind a bit more. Luckily there will be plenty of events for you to do so 😉

⏱️ TIME TRIAL

"Our Time Trial event remains. Here you can compete on a different track every week and gain some extra XCL Rating. We will also add back the beloved Nordschleife Time Trial where your times will be uploaded into our ALL TIME LEADERBOARD. As stated above we will also soon introduce multiple new TT servers for extra laptime recording and for the XCL TITAN Events.

You can not lose rating in XCL Time Trials, unless you crash into someone and get reported. So also please drive responsible and safe in our Time trial servers. "


👮 STEWARDS

With the increasing number of members, the increased importance of Safety Rating and with it increasing number of reports, our stewards could really use an extra pair of eyes or two. 👀 Are you able to judge incidents fair and quickly and do you like to watch incident clips and give your judgement. Please DM the stewards on discord or apply in the ⁠join-our-team channel. If you have any questions about this work, don't hesitate to approach any of the stewards or feel free to DM me personally.

💜 THANK YOU

Finally I'd like to say thank you to everyone competing, helping or contributing to XCL in whatever way. You have all pushed us to improve and grow to one of the largest console communities and without all of you this place would have never become what it is now! We really love the console communtiy and we hope we can remain to improve and be an even better place for all Console users to come in and race competitive, for fun, have chat with friends, or just connect with other humans oon the virtual race track! I am super proud of what XCL has brought and I am very proud of what Season 11 potentially can bring! We hope you like it and don't hesitate to give us any feedback!


SEE YOU ON TRACK! 😎
