The 2013 Formula Challenge season will be the 2nd GPVWC Formula Challenge season.

Changes for 2013

• The biggest change for this championship for 2013 will be to move race day to Tuesday evenings in the same week as Superleague and Supercup take place in order to guarantee three days of high-adrenaline racing. In addition these races will be run on the same tracks as the higher divisions in keeping with the career ladder concept.

• Formula Challenge will move to become more focused on the drivers who will be able to arrive-and-drive with more freedom than in the past. This will effectively mean that team entry requirements will be relaxed for Formula Challenge and enable new teams to join and establish themselves more quickly than before.

• A real game changer for the GPVWC, the introduction of a Dynamic Weather System will revolutionize racing in our series. The new plugin, produced by RFE, does not simply add wet tracks to the game: it is, crucially, a complete weather simulation, with atmospheric conditions changing throughout the race and being reflected by the levels of grip and temperature of the track. Improvements also include the formation of a drying line and wet tyre textures.

• The points structure will change slightly to reflect the one utilized in real life by MotoGP and will reward winners while still giving points to the top 15 placed drivers.
