The challenge template has been redesigned, slightly, some people may have already noticed the discussion on RomGuyony's wall Updating the Special Event Template R/challenge, thanks to input from RomGuyony, Mr Procrastinator and Guillejarque the Challenge template has been updated just-in-time for Stingray Evolution

The changes are as follows:


 * 1) For multi events, the event number and skip cost now spans the number of events, this is on field 9, which is normally empty, the template lines following the span must be challenge15/multi, as they ignore the event number and skip cost fields.
 * 2) The event picture now links to the event article.
 * 3) Lap quantity is now automatically entered as [x laps(s)] on the same line as the track. If laps is blank the no information is displayed.
 * 4) CRB is now a calculation of R$, for the events that pay CRB.
 * 5) Endurance events display /lap after the R$, CRB and fame automatically.
 * 6) The heading now has R$ (+CRB )

The changes were not backward compatible, so the new challenge template now has a year suffix, it is in the following format:

R/challenge15|||||||||

- Event number, this used to be a P= option, it's now no longer a compulsory requirement as it's always used.

- Event name, this has the be the exact event name including capitalisation, e.g. Head to Head, this will now link to the event page.

- Event track and sub track, exactly as described in game. e.g. Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps not Spa

- Event goal, from the in game description.

- No of laps (optional), if entered the text will be formatted so it is tagged to the end of the Event track and sub track field, along with description text [x lap(s)] – This should only be used for Cup, Head to Head and NASCAR events, as all other events are either less than one lap, only 1 lap or differs, which is a known

- R$ value only for coming first, except for Endurance events, this should be the R$ per lap, the /lap is automatically added, R$ must be a value, CRB is now a calculation based on R$, so CRB no long needs to be entered.

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

Skip cost

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 examples :

The next special event, Stingray Evolution has been prepared, with the new template.
