    I'm finding the wet very difficult. I can usually handle this track ok in the dry but I am all at sea in the wet.;)

    Round 4: Red Bull Ring Wet - 26 laps - 17:30 Rain - 17/11
    [​IMG]

    WELCOME to Season 9!! Thanks to Selby Acoustics
    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 regulations please ask!

    ROOM OPEN : Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:50 AEST. 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 for 10 mins. Once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track. THE PITS ARE CLOSED DURING QUALIFYING
    RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEDT (once qualifying has finished)

    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 is 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. If your unassisted tap causes someone to spin, you need to redress.

    WET ROUND : With the track being very wet, please be more cautious than usual with overtaking/defending. Patience is your friend.

    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.
    Be aware when cutting and exiting T1 & 2. Crossing the white line on the right hand side prior to T5 is allowed. Also be aware of the exit of T7-8 and cutting of T8.

    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.
    If you bump someone and they end up off track or teleport back to the corner entry, you must wait for them to rejoin and get back up to speed.
    Show each other RESPECT! It is difficult enough to drive the car at the limit on your own, without someone squeezing you within a millimeter of the grass.
    So be patient and show respect to your fellow drivers. Contact will possibly end up with bigger hits in the wet, so watch those braking points!

    TYRES : Racing Inters/Wets ONLY (Inters recommended)

    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.
    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!

    PARTY CHAT : With the new party chat feature able to hold up to 16 participants, each division will have an open party chat for those that wish to use it. We recommend this especially to new drivers as they may ask questions about how the night is run or to clarify anything they are not confident on.

    FINAL NOTE: Could all drivers please confirm their attendance for this Sunday by 'liking' this post in your division. If you are unable to attend, please post in reply as much in your division. This way we can figure out our reserves or if the room can start early in advance.

    Honestly Well Done to everyone, That was honestly mental. Everyone was so clean and at the end it was pretty close for the top half of the grid after 26 laps. Started off Pole. That was a PB so that's always nice!

    Race: Lead early on and started rear view driving which probably screwed me up. Made a couple of mistakes which cost me eventually fell to 3rd. Had some mega battles with a few guys, Mega fun but was clutching my ass cheeks and got white knuckles now. Ended up trying to undercut which didn't work out coming out in traffic and not being able to get past. All in all, Happy with P3. Onto the next one. Once again Well Done All, cause that was a tough one. Just need a shower and a clean shirt now :thumbsup:

    So on a serious note. Well known Youtuber and World Tour driver Tidgney said in one of his live streams recently (last week?) that there's not a lot of difference between an entry level wheel, e.g. G29, to a top end wheel say a T-GT. In his opinion the biggest gain comes from shifting to load cell brakes. Would you agree despite your stated struggles?

    I suspect it would just take time to adjust to any new input method

    I will add my 5 cents. I was still getting used to my load cell brakes up until my wheel died on me. They are really sensitive, so you gotta try and retrain your brain to use the extra fidelity. I think in the end it will make you a better driver

    My race in a nutshell - abysmal.
    Note to self: learn to add up! (Extra stop due to incorrect fuel calculations when changing strategy after a spin):rolleyes::thumbsdown:

    I did a qually PB a couple of times and murph just kept finding another few hundredths. Eventually got second on the grid and was very happy with that, totally expected to be down the back. Stuck with murph for awhile through the trying conditions and eventually forced an error i could make the pass on. After that it was trying to stay consistent and mistake free. Was going all right til the last lap when it came undone. Not the preferred way to end the night but there you go.

    Q. Was alright was happy with where I placed
    Race. Was a good race. Raced hard and what I thought fair but when I made a mistake I let the driver go back through so I could avoid a penalty (which didn't work I'm up for protest) but apart from that I'm very happy with the win
