    REGS CHANGE :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    After testing multiple times last night, with a wide range of room settings and pit stop options, we will have to run with FUEL BURN OFF. We couldn't work out what was causing it, and when we changed rooms and options some people were on the same fuel and others had changed.....was apparent there was no rhyme or reason as to why this happens.

    Thanks to the guys and Gal ;) who brought this to my attention.

    So after testing with Stozza, slambo, suicide and subby last night, it would seem that this issue hasn't yet been resolved.
    I had the room set up as a league lobby, full length, with all options as they should be....The wash up was the some of us were on 49L for 29 laps, myself and others were on 105L. If you were to end up on anything less than 60L, you would be hard pressed to make it home without having to take fuel....For this reason we will run with FUEL BURN OFF again for this season.
    This will mean you will run Qual with approx 6-7 L of fuel and then the race fuel will be approx 52-53L.

    The compulsory pit stop WILL REMAIN, as i have not seen any issue with this option.

    i will also try to place the new drivers as well in divs....I hope to be able to get them in a room before Sunday nights first round. these drivers are @ridgeback336 - PSN thesquidah - PSN linchy_59

    OK, guys and Gal......Time for Round 1 !
    As always please take 2 mins to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night......If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regs please ask !

    ROOM OPEN : Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:50 EDST. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them.
    QUALIFYING : 8:10 EDST
    RACE START TIME : 8:20 EDST

    ROUND 1 ISSUES : The start of the season is quite often a bit harder to get started with new guys joining, new hosts and a bit of red mist ! PLEASE, try to be on time to the room. It will give everyone a chance to sort any possible issues...

    DIV 4 DRIVERS : ANNE is hosting for the first time, so please bare with her as she sets things up, has any possible issues and works through getting everyone in the room. you Will need to save race results, and dont forget your replay ! Please help each other out as you get the season started.

    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS :
    This is up to the room host. If there is a Disconnection at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I always look at 1 or 2 starts if required due to DSC, but as it gets later everyone needs to be aware of getting things going. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....


    TURN 1 LAP 1 : This has the potential to ruin someones night if we dont use our heads ! The brake zone is long, for the guys at the back half of the grid, PLEASE make sure you dont cannonball through the guys in front. Last season was pretty good, however we could always be better ! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first lap with ZERO contact. Give room and run in your 'lane' till you have space to run the normal race line.

    TRACK LIMITS : As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. Laguna doesnt really lend itself to potential cutting, HOWEVER, TURN 6 will be looked at for cutting. The exit of TURN 11 can be run wide, however there is big risk on the curb of spinning. Also, the kink on the front straight.....the track is defined by both a white line and cones.....drivers using the pit exit as part of the 'race track' will be penalised if they are deemed to gain an advantage.

    CONTACT : Is to be avoided at all times..... If you rear end someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Side by side 'rubbing' is racing, within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room. The obvious places here are TURN 1, the braking zone into the corkscrew and turn 11 onto the front straight.

    COMPULSORY PIT STOP : YES. You WONT need to change tyres or take fuel. You will need to save a Mustang strategy, with 1L of fuel, no tyres and turn off all damage repairs. This stop should come up as 'about' 1.3 sec, however the stopwatch will stop at about 2.3 sec. Make sure you select that strategy before you go to the track in qual, and then check it in the ready up screen before race start.
    More info in the pitstop thread http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/pcars-2-pitstop-thread.3094/


    PIT ENTRY / EXIT : Drivers MUST make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines. The Pit entry for Laguna is pretty straight forward, you will need to be at 60KLM at the pit entry control line, any more than that you will receive a penalty, or a possible DSQ if you go in way too fast.
    PIT EXIT : Drivers MUST use the full pit exit lane, which rejoins the track at the exit of TURN 2. ANY DRIVER who rejoins the track at the top of the main straight will be DSQ. This is a NON NEGOTIABLE.


    BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. With the 2 classes there is slightly more chance of blue flags coming into play, so you should be aware of the leaders coming up on you, and move out of the way as soon as possible. Best to get off the race line, and with a small lift let them go, so you can continue the fight with those in your class. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

    STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : This season the stewards will be myself, Ad2mny and Garyw61. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let us know via a PM.

    DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. We will ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captain to make any decision.

    SAVE YOUR REPLAY : If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved !

    @annelorrianne ... any problems let me know !

    Hi guys,
    Sorry for the silence.. but things in my personal life have been unsettled for the last two weeks and I dont think I will be able to commit to racing with you guys this season... At the moment I have moved into a new place and the internet has yet to be set up.. Please forgive the late notice people. Especially after all you hard work and commitment I really feel stink at the moment for not being able to take part with you all.

    Same wheel base here , I wonder if it is the ps4 big update which messed up the usb power setting or something for my case. I will try Google and see if I could find anything. If anyone has any idea or suggestion, please tell me. Thanks.

    SubGTracer has had issues and fixed them, i think hes problem was something with the wheel itself not the base...iv already sent panagian an email outlining the problem and asking for a replacement.

    No luck on my wheel,it turned off like yours @PaulCox, I ran a bootloader and updated with the latest firmware 28 , still turn off/DC and reset itself, during ps menu , in game, and also when connected to my laptop.

    Team, I will try to replace my wheel but until then I will not return to the race. I will try get it sorted this coming sat but who knows about the return and replace policy. Might be tricky. Geez!

    Have you guys been to a bad luck festival or something ??

    Did someone say in the chat their controller disconnected, and then that shut down the wheel ?

    The only thing i have had issues with in the past is the wheel needing to be tightened as it was giving me false button presses, back to the main menu.
