Keep an eye on GT and Continental social media for details of what’s coming up on WynTV this year. No World Cup season is complete without Wyn Masters – both on the track and in the pits – so for 2023 there will be a major increase in his presence. The Enduro squad is led by Noga Korem (ISR) and Katy Winton (SCO), both of whom are feeling strong going into the new season.Ĭam Cole will continue to manage GT/Continental Factory Racing operations with Mark Maurissen, Matteo Nati, and Rich Simpson, with new addition Matt “Snowy” Clark joining as mechanic. With a DH team comprising Jess Blewitt (NZL), Ethan Craik (GBR) and Ryan Pinkerton (USA), all under the age of 21, this youthful crew is ready to capitalise on their momentum from the 2022 season. The 2023 GT/Continental Factory Racing roster is no exception. This close relationship between athlete and engineering was proven with Continental-supported teams enjoying an exceptional 2022 season, with a mud-soaked UCI Downhill World Cup in Snowshoe leading to podium finishes for four Continental riders across Elite men and Junior women.īoth Continental and GT have long histories of supporting both emerging talent and established racers, combining inspiring and entertaining personalities with strong results and expertise on the trails. A wide-ranging portfolio engineered from the ground up to meet the demands of every rider, the Gravity range was designed to instil maximum confidence on every type of trail. Without the use of these mods, human empires within Stellaris are made up of diverse populations, with people of all races playing an equal role in every aspect of civilisation.GT / Continental Factory Racing has selected Continental as co-title and official tire partner for 2023.Ĭontinental’s Gravity range of tires was officially launched in April 2022, following three year’s development by Continental’s category-leading R&D team and testing by athletes across the Continental Atherton, Continental Nukeproof, and Pivot Factory Racing teams. This mod splits the human race into four separate in-game species, meaning that players can create a custom empire using people of just a single ethnicity. "We appreciate any inappropriate mods being brought to our attention and will take them down where necessary, we also encourage players to make use of the flagging function provided by Valve where needed."ĭespite the developer's stance towards this particular mod, it is currently still available via third party site ModDB.Ī second mod, entitled 'Separate Human Phenotypes', is also being looked into by Paradox. "We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices. "We shipped the game originally with an accurate representation of humans, that is to say diverse in both ethnicity and personality," a Paradox spokesperson told Eurogamer. This mod, which was creatively titled 'European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)', is no longer available to download via the Steam Workshop. ORIGINAL STORY 2.20pm: Paradox has removed a Stellaris mod which altered the game's human race to be entirely made up of white characters with European names. Graham ends her tweet with a link to Paradox's rules of conduct, before stating that this is the last time the developers intended to comment on this mod. "We welcome everyone to create all kind of mods for us as long as they comply with our rules of conduct and we expect our modders to help us keep the comment sections free of any racial slurs or other things that do not comply with these same codes." "We interpreted this particular mod as breaking those rules of conduct, however it would appear that the comments surrounding the mod, rather than the mod itself, were the biggest problem. "We have a few rules of conduct that have been in effect for the better part of a decade where racial slurs, among other things, are not allowed," said Graham. UPDATE 7.30pm: Paradox has clarified its reasoning for removing the 'European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)' mod, in a tweet made by COO, Susana Meza Graham.
