Factory Driver Program ?

[DjinVR]

In the Overtake video, Kevin Boland mentioned the Factory Driver Program for PMR, saying it was originally planned to launch at the end of May. Maybe I missed something, but I haven’t been able to find any application form.

Has there been any update on this Factory Driver Program?

Sounds like its only reserved for the esport and real drivers.

Here's a quote from Austin :

Why Project Motor Racing’s pre-release feedback is different to a traditional beta

Project Motor Racing will be open, in a vetted process, for pre-release feedback through its Factory Driver Program - and it’s a little different to prior sim racing research projects.

Somehow, I never could quite understand mute conversations. But I have to say, it still beats loud arguments

Sounds cool, curious to know how they'll pick the participants.

Likely based on how they perceive the applicant's background could help development.

I applied because I think I can add some value there.

I think it's awesome they're running this program. But I think imma going to have to be honest with myself here and admit I'm nowhere near good enough to provide meaningful feedback. Of course, there's probably many more who shouldn't but will so maybe I should try after all?

 

[Konan]

As been stated, not everyone will be accepted, so it's worth a try.

I feel very similar. Somebody being three secs behind the aliens might not be the right person for detailed reports about car handling on the limit. Plus I haven´t as much time as I had back in WMD2 times. So I´d better leave the slot for somebody else and wait for the finished product.
