    Alright all, generic post just to update where we are at for the upcoming season.....Please take 2 mins to read.....

    The OP has been updated, and i will get the room hosts etc sorted out in the next week.....people with a solid connection if you could nominate yourself to host would be great......As always, if we need to make a change to the regs mid season where there is a clear cause to do so , then the mod team reserve the right in the interest of the league

    Regs: Can confirm that tuning will be OFF for all rounds, with the only 'possibility' of the enduro having tuning. Its only a "possibility" at this stage, i just need to test the tire and fuel wear over a race length.....Tire wear will be SLOW for all rounds and this will mean that even those hardest on tires wont be killing them. With the Fuel, we will look at either real or slow depending on the track and fuel burn so it takes the need to pit out of the equation. Ideally, it will be the same through the season.
    Track list: As always we will try to mix up the list from previous seasons, and run tracks that are either new, or havent been run for a while....Hope to have these sorted next week, and will release them on the 17th for the meet and greet.
    Start date : Confirmed for the 17th July for the meet and greet and round 1 will be on the 24th July
    Div placement : as always, this is a :):):):) of a job, but have based most drivers on last seasons results and also known pace....At this stage all placements are PROVISIONAL, and there is always some changes with new entries and withdrawals as we get closer to round 1. Please keep an eye on where you are placed, if moved you will be notified. As always, if you dont see your name in the division lists please let me know, the same if you see someone WELL out of position, let me know via PM so we can look at it.

    Driving standards : This is the big one this season, and something that i really want everyone to understand and follow. Most of us have been here long enough to know how this works, and with the expected close racing this season in this car, i really dont want to have to sort through 6 or 7 protests every week because someone decided to play 10 pin with the cars in front :rolleyes:. Last few seasons have been pretty good, however this car should give really close racing so everyone will have to have their brains switched on :geek:

    We all know the deal.....if a car gets along side and has the corner, give them room and continue the fight. :D
    General rule is the B pillar, be aware and give room.
    Drivers who 'kamakazi' into a corner and make contact can expect a penalty if you dont redress.

    If you hit another driver up the rear, and knock them off track then you
    MUST REDRESS. Wait and give the spot back. I DONT WANT ROOMS EMPTYING BECAUSE OF ROUGH DRIVING. PENALTIES WILL BE APPLIED IN THE FORM OF A 30 SEC DRIVE THROUGH FOR ANYONE NOT REDRESSING OF A CLEAR AND PROVEN BREACH.

    NO SWERVING :
    Was highlighted again last season. you may change your line once, and thats it. Swerving drivers will incur a drive through penalty
    INTENTIONAL KNOCKING DOWN OF BRAKE MARKERS DURING QUAL : Not cool, any driver caught doing this will be given a 30 sec drive through penalty added to their race time.
    RETURNING TO TRACK : please be aware of those around you and where cars will be coming past on the race line if you find yourself off and coming back on.
    TRACK LIMITS : As always, the white line or ripple strip is the track limit and drivers CLEARLY exceeding then to gain advantage WILL INCUR A PENALTY. Make a mistake once or twice its generally ok, more than that and its cheating. Penalties and flags will be ON, so most of the time things are ok and the game self penalizes.

    That said, there is occasion where lag or room issues does have an effect and we have seen that on numerous occasions. If you want to protest please PM a mod and room captains for a ruling. This means you will need to SAVE THE REPLAY and get a copy to us to look at the incident.
    RULES AND REGS ARE LOCATED HERE:
    http://www.raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/racing-rules-regulations.70/

    Stay tuned for further updates and driver shuffles over the next week

    Cheers stu / mod team

    ok guys, getting close to having the divs sorted, just a couple of people to fit in. By the looks of it we have a near capacity grid in every div which is great, but if you have changed your mind PLEASE LET ME KNOW !

    Start times have been added in the OP, and we will announce the official track list on the 17th July, for the meet and greet.

    If you know of someone who is keen to join, or someone who has indicated they were doing the season, but you cant see their name please let me know as we only have 3 slots left....

    HOST ??? Who is able to do this with a solid connection ?? Back up Host ????

    Cheers stu

    @stucar17 - it may pay us to find another host for this season. My wheel/pedals screwed up on me again tonight (same as last race last season), so it looks like it may be another couple of months wait again for a replacement :(

    Getting pretty tired of thrustmaster...

    Happened at Bugatti. I wish it was as simple as a reset. I have tried everything. Firmware is the latest. It appears to be thermal - everything is fine until I've been on for a while.

    Yep just load the latest firm wear and follow the instruction on the download link on the thrustmaster site. If you have version 25 installed press the st and mode button at the same time. Led should flast twice and fan is forced on all the time to keep wheel cooler.

    Thanks Kart, will give it a try. It's a real pain in the butt to test though because it doesn't start playing up until about an hour into use.

    am asking the silly questions now....

    do you leave it plugged in after use ? have heard it can cook the boards if the power stays connected when not in use
    do you have the FFB up to high ?? have heard it makes the motors cook

    Yes, I leave it plugged in after use. This is to allow the fans to keep running if the unit is still too hot. I am afraid that if I disconnect the unit while the fan is still running, then it may fry something.

    I havent gone above 70 with FFB on this unit. I believe that the first unit I bought may have been cooked by a high FFB setting (I think I used about 100-110).

    Turned out it to be a fault in the pedals (T3PA Pro's). Plugged the original T300 pedals in and all is good. Thanks for your help/suggestions guys.

    Anyway, all good for me to host this season @stucar17 :thumbsup:
