FireMonkeys have added a new information to special challenges, namely recommended PR, this means the challenge template has to be updated, to template16 to include this new information.

Some people may have already noticed the discussion on RomGuyony's wall Updated challenge template - including recommended PR, thanks to input from RomGuyony, both on wiki and privately, the Challenge template has been updated before Track Day Domination is completed.

The changes from challenge15 to challenge16 is as follows:


 * 1) Lap quantity is now automatically entered in it’s own field, with the same criteria as the events template. If laps is blank then
 * 2) Recommended PR is added to the template.
 * R$, Fame and Skip have been reduced in size to allow laps and recommended PR to be addeed.

The changes were not backward compatible, so the new challenge template now has a year suffix, it accepts 10 values, separated by a pipe | in the following format:

R/challenge16|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10

1 - Event number.

2 - Event name, this is now case insensitive, some abbreviations are now allowed e.g. Head to Head, head to head or h2h, will all work. Clicking the event picture will now display the event article page.

3 - Track and variant, in the format track - variant. This is now case insensitive, some abbreviations are also now allowed e.g. spa will now display as Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Any errors will highlight the track and variant in red, to quickly allow the entry to be corrected. e.g. entering course when it's actually a circuit.

4 - Event goal, from the in game description, free text, also add any specific car criteria, and rolling starts.e.g. Win this Event (featuring Ford Focus RS)

5 - No of laps (optional), this should only be used for Cup, Head to Head and NASCAR events, of over 1 lap, as all other events are either less than one lap, only 1 lap or differs, which is a known.

6 - R$, value only for coming first, excluding any CRB reward. For Endurance events, this should be the R$ per lap, again excluding CRB, the /lap is automatically added. R$ must be a value, CRB is now a calculation based on R$, so CRB data is no longer required. R$ is now automatically rounded down when a R$+50 bonus is paid for playing offline or not against friends (since this bonus isn't applied when beating friends, it's not included in the base main reward)

7 Fame, value only (For Endurance events, the /lap is automatically added)

8 Skip cost, the cost to skip the goal, the icon is automatically added.

9 PR:

10 Number of events in a multi event challenge (optional), the following balance of events must have the sub template challenge15/multi, as this template ignores the event number and skip cost fields.

For example:

The current special event, Track Day Domination has now been prepared, with the new challenge16 template.
