    Need to drive it straight mate and remember you actually have to warm up tyres and brakes. Not anything like GTS where you can point and shoot with heaps of grip

    to all other drivers i will have track list up later this afternoon for tonights meet and greet..... Sorry all the extra stuff like divs and room hosts is last minute, but will all be sorted today or over the next week before R1.....

    I will also go through and adjust the divs where required......they look pretty close but will need to be a couple of small changes.

    Part throttle out of 1st and 2nd gear corners is a good plan. I wouldn't recommend pushing the car much until the tyre pressures are at least 1.70~1.75 bar.
    For guys that are new to PC2, I would recommend starting off slow and easing into it, get a feel for the game/car.

    Ok Guys, here is our track list for the upcoming season. As always, if there is any glaring issues we will adjust as needed. Given it is a faster car, we have gone with tracks that will hopefully suit the range of driver abilities. I will add these into the div threads later tonight.

    A couple of things for people to know ....
    - at this stage we have Tyre Wear on 'authentic".... Make sure you have "pit stop errors' turned OFF in your game settings. i am hoping that this brings in a little strategy.
    - We have seen no issues with the fuel levels between cars in our prac rooms. At this stage Fuel will remain on. With compulsory stop ON, you will be able to add fuel if needed, so long as everyone is on the same level.
    - Remember that there is a 'loose' and 'stable' setting for the car. best to test both settings to see what you are most comfortable with.

    Would have thought some historic tracks would have made it in given the car and the fact that they're all still yet to be used. I know alot of them are still before the Mercedes time but I would have hoped for atleast Hockenheim classic to have made it in.

    great job last night guys, thanks to @PaulCox and @annelorrianne for hosting the other rooms....

    Is there anyone who clearly needs to swap positions ?
    Currently i am looking at swapping @Telum and Duncs (up to div 2) and @Blue XR8 plus 1 more (down D2 from 3)
    I also need to move @Nathan Storrier (nstozza) back to div 2 as he has a conflict with @JonoStan96 ..... so will need to swap him out with someone. @Shane Edgar ? @garyw61 ?

    Some things from the track list we learnt in the div 1 room....
    - I have changed the date of the sprint round at Dubai to the 1/12/18 so the track temp is much better. Was down from 65* to 24* and was heaps of grip.
    - The wet race at Nurb GP should be a cracker..... What we found was that in qual there was heaps of grip, even though the tyres didnt really warm up, and the fastest qual times came early in the session before the track got really wet. The race start was really interesting because if you kill your tyres on the first lap before the pressures normalise, then it was easy to spin....I found after 2 laps i had the grip of the qual session.....
    - We saw no issues with fuel loads, everyone was within 1L for each race, but will need everyone to check you have the same in your prac races this week.
    - We also had no issues with pit stops. ROOM HOSTS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 'PIT ERRORS OFF' IN YOUR ROOM MENUS.
    - For our newbies, if you dont have a pit limiter mapped, you just need to hit the control line at 60klm to avoid a penalty. Once you hit the line the game will keep you at 59kph. IF you DO have it mapped you will need to press the limiter coming out of the garage or you will be penalised..... Personally i havent mapped it, its one less thing to think about.
    - In your main game menu (before you get into the room lobby) make sure you have the 'pit locator'ON !
    - PIT STRATEGY. you need to activate this for EVERY race room, so always double check it.

    If you need help with any of this stuff just let me know and will get you sorted out..All ill add is that i would recommend you do practice pit stops in EVERY prac race this week before the first round so you are all over the way it works.....

    Here is hoping for a cracking season, based on last night i think it will.

    I think Div 3 is pretty good, i was constant 3 seconds a lap slower then the leaders but without much practice. Will have no troubles finding that time as i practice the 1 track over the week.

    If anyone in DIv 3 doesnt agree and think someone needs to be moved or you think you need to go up because im too slow :) then herers the place.

    thanks paul, i have made a couple of changes and will monitor it over the week....

    Have made the following changes.
    @COME_AND_GET_ME7 @Nathan Storrier have gone back to div 2
    @garyw61 @Shane Edgar (shanep11primera) have come up to div 1
    @Duncs_48 @Telum have moved up from D3 to D2
    @Blue XR8 and @beakeroo have moved down into D3

    As we have done in the past, if there is a clear issue with where someone is placed after round 1, it isnt without precedent to adjust after that round. We will always have frontrunners and back markers no matter how close the divs are....but if there is someone clearly out of their depth, or killing the opposition then we will change if needed.

    Thanks for your patience guys, should be all good by the end of the week.
