    Kie25 is often a good place to start. It is Gr.2, but probably still relevant

    I found this one most useful, just adjust brake markers to suit.

    @Hatfield @REVO_Bryan Are we any closer to a resolution on the tyre wear setting for the Enduro?? Won't waste anymore time working out strategy if there is a possibility of wear going to be less than X's 8

    Bloody incredible that there was only 2.6s in it after 51 laps. Well done to everyone! I'll post a report tomorrow.

    Round 5: Mount Panorama - 2x 11 Laps - Race 1 15:30 Sunny & Race 2 16:30 - 17/5 (Sprint Round)

    WELCOME to Season 11!!
    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 AEST for 5 mins. With the x0 fuel in qualifying, we will be using qualifying mode so if drivers are late, qualifying can start later eg 8:25. If drivers have informed that they will be later and room captains agree to wait for them, qualifying can be completed in practice mode, then results saved and fuel rate changed back to x2 then grid set by host. If a driver joins while qualifying mode is active, room captains will need to grab a quick photo of qualifying results, cancel the race and then set grid by host.
    In practice mode, once 5 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track.

    RACE START TIME : 8:25-30 AEST (once qualifying has finished)

    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS : This is up to the room host/captains. 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. Before 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.

    ROLLING START : If a driver has a connection issue, their car has the possibility of not following the rolling start procedure and instead turning in a tight circle/into the wall and holding up drivers behind. In the instance this occurs, a restart MUST happen. If this isn't resolved after a restart, the affected driver can try once more starting rear of the grid. That way if the issue remains, they will hold no one up and can exit track.

    TURN 1 LAP 1 : With rolling start, we have more room going into T1, but you should still be cautious not to dive into someone. If your unassisted tap causes someone to spin, you need to redress.

    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.

    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.

    TYRES : Racing Mediums

    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 out of 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!

    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.

    PARKING UP : If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres (or no tyres) so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car.

    SPRINT ROUND: This seasons sprint round, the second race will be based on previous race results (NOT REVERSE GRID). Also both races will be worth full points, then your points from both races is added together, and you are ranked against all other drivers in your division. This ranking is how normal round points are allocated, and then FL/pole points are added last.

    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.
    (ALSO IF YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE POST SAYING SO, SO THAT RESERVES CAN BE ORGANISED IN ADVANCE)

    Another fantastic race last night!
    Little bit unsure of strategy heading into the race as I had only completed 2 stints with 5x tyre wear. Thanks to the ICR boys for throwing up a few suggestions with what to do. Much like some others in the room I had my plan and I intended to stick to it...
    Easily my best qualifying effort personally, I had struggled to find space the last two rounds but had a great clear run to end P5. I knew my race pace was there or thereabouts so it was just a matter of surviving the 51 laps...
    As we got going it was tight up the front. I was closely following @Matthyus on Lap 2 when he ran wide heading into the right hander before the final chicance. I pulled alongside but wasn't too sure what my intentions were, don't think he was expected me to be there and next second I was pointing backwards on the grass. Thankfully, I didn't get reset and toddled along the runoff and rejoined, but way down in 10th.
    The rest of the first stint was great fun, I knew I had good pace so set to work moving my way back up the field. It was some great close racing and clean passing, so thanks to the boys like @Easyprey007 and a few others for racing hard and fair. My first stop on Lap 10 cycled me through to end up behind @Xtr3meNZer who was on a different strategy. I tell you something mate I have not had more fun stuck behind someone for 11 laps like I did with you last night. My adrenaline was pulsing the entire time hoping you would crack but you held very firm! It was great to have the entire run pushing 100% lap after lap.
    After my second stop I ended up on my own for much of the rest of the race, waiting and hoping that my strategy would pay dividends. I had a feeling I was within the Top 3 and that was confirmed by about the Lap 30 mark when I caught up to @VARDZ on a similar strategy to me. Without taking sides it was a shame that there was a clash for the lead after the final stops as I thought we were in for a great 3-way scrap for the win. In the end I pushed so hard but couldn't make much inroads to Vardz up ahead and settled for 2nd.
    Firstly I am super stoked with myself - apart from in/out laps and my off track adventure on Lap 2/3, every single lap was in the 1:45s or 1:44s. Can't believe I managed to maintain focus and concentration for so long. I know for sure I left everything on the track, that's for sure!
    Thanks also to @T F Eccles for 'spotting' everyone last night - it was great having someone to keep us updated with a few stats about how everyone was faring.
    Stoked to be back racing and going well and can't fair for next week! Cheers all!
