Goodyear Roll-Out
Goodyear Roll-Out was an event held by SCS Software through the World of Trucks platform, featuring Euro Truck Simulator 2. The event started on July 31, 2019 and ended on August 18, 2019. The event was to celebrate the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2 Goodyear Tyres Pack DLC.
Summary
The event was first announced on 31 July 2019 on SCS Software's blog[1], and SCS initially announced the event would last until the completion of Community Goal. The goal was achieved 3 days after the event, after which SCS made an follow-up announcement, claiming the event would be concluded on 3 August[2].
A few days later, SCS made another announcement of reopening the event until 18 August 2019, but those completing their personal goal in the extended period would not get the Steam code for free DLC. In addition, SCS released a Community Contest to encourage truckers to share their Goodyear in-game content[3].
The final result of both the event and the associated community contest was announced on 2 September 2019[4].
