Build 2.15
This is mainly a graphical upgrade for all 2018 cars and drivers, also due to the new entries of this season. Excluding new updates for technical reasons, this is the last upgrade of ever for the GP3 Series, because IRL this is the last season of the GP3 Series that will be merged with the Formula 3 for the next years.
This is the opportunity to thank all the mates that, since years ago, participated to the development of the mod that covers 3 years of life (also our life, LOL) and the community that always supported our belowed free hobby.

We are proud to present the latest 2018 version of the GP3 Series, the last of its racing life.

The 2018 Series has been updated in the graphics and in the physics also due to the new info a couple of GP3 Teams provided to us. Main improvements refer to the tires, 2018 specifications by Pirelli and consequently the new CPM developed by Michael Borda (please note that new 2018 tires are available only for the 2018 Series!) and the new steering wheel as fully explained in several posts into this thread.

Here some more details regarding ONLY the most important changes from 1.41 to this new build:
- 4K resolution for 2018 cars (higher res for body/wing/helmet/etc...)
- full rain effects added to body, helmet, suit, visor for all series ("special effects" by Chris "redapg")
- new tire shape for all series(3D by Chris "redapg")
- new 2017/2018 hook (3D by Chris "redapg")
- new 3D for 2016 and 2017/2018 steering wheel (Chris "redapg")
- new DRS sides panels for 2018 cars and fake working panels (in options)
- new 3D for 2018 rear wing (Chris "redapg")
- new steering wheel options and new physics to keep it similar to 2016 and 2017 Series but with more turning angle (Slow Motion)
- new 2018 CPM tires only for 2018 cars(Michael Borda)
- refueling for leagues sim needs (in options)
- new 2018 liveries, helmets, visors (Chris 'Brack Jabham', Boxer, Slow Motion)

Special thanks to:
- Daniel Surace, that performed a lot of very detailed tests reporting feedback and MoteC data
- GP3 Engineers and Sim-rig Specialists for explanations, data and feedback
- few GP3 2018 drivers for tests
