The 2013 Superleague season will be the 14th GPVWC Superleague season.
Changes for 2013
- 2013 will see the return of Engine Development, adding another degree of complexity to the job of team manager. Different engines will be able to bring potentially crucial differences between the teams - but the new system goes far beyond that. Teams within the Superleague will be tasked to become engine constructors, building the powerplants for all other teams. Four "works" deals will be available, and teams will be required to negotiate to market and sell their products to the other nine teams in the series.
- 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.
- As for tyres in 2013 drivers will be required to use both available tyre compounds throughout a race: the new mod, which is now being tested by the administration, will allow visual differences between the Option and Prime compounds and will therefore help in bringing a new element of strategy to races.
- 2013 will see the introduction of tiered improvements, meaning certain areas of development will only be unlocked once other improvements are gained by the team. To add to the realism, any "gained" development will also be removable, meaning teams will be able to revert their car to conditions more suited to other tracks without losing their developments.
- The new contract system will feature three different classes of contracts: these are Primary Drivers, Reserve Drivers and Emergency Drivers. Primary drivers, as the name suggests, are the drivers teams will rely on to do the bulk of races. Unlike last year, however, there will be some limitations. Primary Drivers will NOT be allowed to participate in any way in series “below” their current one in the career ladder, their commitment being to the series where they have a Primary contract. Reserve Drivers will be allowed to take part only in four races per season before having to switch to a Primary Driver contract. Emergency Drivers are, on all accounts, entitled to the same deal of Reserve Drivers, but their contracts cannot exceed a duration of one month.
- In addition to what described above, teams will now be able to offer short- and medium-term contracts to drivers, selecting any length between 1 and 12 months for the contracts. Wages will change too, with the payment to drivers being pro rata based on the length of the contract. However, there will be a handling fee - of a fixed magnitude - for each contract, thus encouraging teams to strike long-term deals with drivers, encouraging stability by offering more value for money.
- 2013 will see the introduction of a league-wide, comprehensive driver salary. All drivers will be evaluated in real time, providing an absolute ranking of the drivers, updated after each race. In addition each driver will be evaluated on the basis of all his results within the three Ladder series in the whole rFactor era of GPVWC, between 2009 and 2013. Most crucially, results will be weighed according to the series, a Superleague win, for example, being valued more than one in a lower series. Contract costs will vary with the type of contract and the series for which it is struck.
- The points structure will change to reflects the one utilized in real life by MotoGP and will reward winners while still giving points to the top 15 placed drivers.
