[h2]Changelog:[/h2]

• In Multiplayer, the mandatory pitstop setting now offers 3 choices: Off, 2 tyres changes & 4 tyres changes. Until now, it was always 2 fresh tyres that were mandatory, which did not allow to match esports ADAC GT Masters regulations where 4 tyre swaps are enforced.
  If set to 4 tyres and a player only changes 2, a time penalty is given at the end of the race.
  Note: In order to be validated, the 4 tyres need to be all changed in the same pitstop. Two consecutive pitstops of 2 tyre changes will not be validated.
