Nope, no specific time. If I knew it myself I'd let you know, but the thing is that it can be released at any time of the day. It's done when it's done 
It could have been released yesterday, but we experienced some problems with the stats file. So today, this is being fixed, and once it's ready, the DB can be released. |

Don't worry, there's no major bugs (= bugs that prevent the pack from being released) |

It probably won't be until late tonight.
You know, it's the usual deal with deadlines. If I give myself a span from Friday to Sunday to release it, it probably means that it's released 23:59 Sunday
Basically, it's because that there's always one or two things that you can do better - it's never perfect.
However, as said, I'm pretty confident that we're going to 'keep' the deadline and release it today. Parts of the team is working on the stats as we speak while I'm tweaking and fixing different parts of the DB. |

Cruetrue. Will the length of the riders contracts be right or just random? And have you changed potential of riders and when they start gettin worse? |

We did do some research in the contracts, but there's no chance that they'll all be realistic.
Potential levels have been revised.
Riders' decline age have not been changed. How would you make that realistic anyway? We can't look into the future and tell who's going to get worse when. Therefore, most riders' decline age is set to 34 or something like that. |

Update, Release Day
As you probably already know, today is the day of (expected) release. We're currently making adjudgements to the stats and have also used the day to tweak a few things. E.g., the new races didn't show up in the new set of goals in 2010 (and 2011, 2012, etc.), and originally, this wasn't planned to be introduced until V2 - but since we did have some time left, this is now in.
In the previous update, I was talking about implenting the track riders from the PCM Fusion Track DB. Unfortunately, this won't become a part of V1. We simply couldn't get it working properly, so to avoid bugs and crashes, we're just going to stick with the original 16 riders.
For the final release, some teams have been removed, some teams have been added, and there's also a few more races than what's mentioned in the news article a few weeks back. We'll probably post the final list of teams and races before the release - and there's 1 surprise which in particular will 'satisfy' one base of users here at PCM.daily.
what exactly do you mean by satisfied - without giving too much away

Well, if I told you, it wouldn't really be a surprise, would it? You can start guessing, though. |

Either more brit, american, or danish races is my guess.
