Sorry for quitting all. I did about 8min practice prior to the race, didnt read the forum and see Alsace was in reverse lol. So i had about 8min to learn the track and car. I will try and get a little practice in before next week.
That was more practise than I had I was going to quit after first lap but the boys in the chat room spurred me on till lap 18 when I then pulled over and then quit..div 1 is way too fast not to respect how fast everyone is and that u need to do some practise ..any way that's all for now ...
You were in the practice room when I joined lol. You had the best lap on my screen. 2.15 or something lol. Not that it matters
@JonoStan96 mentioned that false start check is back as a room option. If so, this will become the norm if it works.
apparently the Grip Red. on Wet Track/Track Edge setting on real causes dirty tyres for longer like it used to, too
ROUND 2 : Maggiore East - 30 laps - Daytime 11:30 Fine Weather - 5/8 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 AEDT. 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 : 8:20 AEDT RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEDT LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS : This is up to the room host. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) 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.... SIGHT ISSUES: Ensure that you can see everyone on track. After qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again. It can also be done pre-qualifying to save time if there is no chance of latecomers. FALSE START CHECK : Please note that the start type has been changed to Grid Start with False Start Check Please practice this so you know what to expect. Simply, you hold the brakes on until the lights go from all lit, to none lit TURN 1 LAP 1 : This has the potential to ruin someones night if we don't use our heads ! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first phase 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. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage. SPECIAL CONDITIONS for this track. The outside prior to turn in at T3 (left hander) is allowed. The outside between T9-10 (double left hander after esses) is allowed. 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. TYRES : You can use any of the sports tyre compounds at any time PIT ENTRY : Drivers MUST make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines. PIT EXIT : Please use the pit exit lane and be aware of cars approaching down the straight into T1. NOTE: Pitting is NOT compulsory BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : This season the stewards will be will be @Hatfield @JonoStan96 @Viperzed & @emmo46. 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 !
FYI FALSE START AWARENESS Ensure you do at least one false start in practice to understand what occurs to your car. If you do false start, your car WILL NOT GHOST and will begin rolling very slowly. All drivers NEED TO BE AWARE off the line to avoid anyone who has false started. Room Captains, if you have time pre-qually, maybe a practice start could be performed.
Anyone starting behind me be careful. I need to hold the clutch, brake and a little bit of throttle to get off the line.
what a race good battles with multiple drivers. came out of the pits side by side with @Noremac and then held off @Bryan_F until the flag so tired!
