Hi all,
We have taken the difficult decision to temporarily remove the GB 19 circuit from the calendar. All races that were scheduled to take place there will take place on the older/original GB 09 circuit until further notice.

The reasons will be obvious to anyone that has raced there so far, and it may take some time for us to get to the bottom of all of the issues that were reported. Recently, we discovered and expected some of the issues that were reported, and we were hoping to release an app update to address them as early as Monday this week (before the first race there). However, this app update has been delayed slightly and we have since learned of more issues than the ones we were aware of, so we're going to take stock, review all of them and try to come back with a patch that addresses all of them.

It is our first time launching a new circuit in to the service since the launch of iGP Manager in 2011, and for technical reasons it is much more complicated than it appears. To give some context, the original developer of the simulator and track system left iGP Games many years ago, before we had even launched our mobile apps. It has been a big task for the new team to essentially reverse-engineer how the system worked (it was not well documented) and get to this point. We do not expect any sympathy for releasing the track that did not work as intended, and I mention this only to give some context to why some of these issues have occurred. One positive the team can take from this situation, is that it is clear that we are almost there, and we plan to roll out more tracks after this one is ready.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work on getting a revised version of the track into the service.
