Alright guys, Apologies for late briefing... been under the pump!
Back to a standard race this week, with a pit stop, make sure you know how you want that to work and how to get into pit lane.
ISSUES FROM ROUND 5.
- Ok, the elephant in the room at the moment is track limits. There were penalties handed to 2 drivers for repeated track limits in the last few rounds. While the process through the stewards group was followed, there was 1 case in div 1 that SHOULD have been penalised but was missed through an error by myself. There were also other drivers in lower division who would have been penalised if there was a protest put in for exceeding track limits. While these breaches have not been clear 'cheating' (missing corners by lots) they have been consistent breaches by a tyre width, up to the occasional car width..... I am asking everyone to police your div and IF someone if consistently breaching please make us aware. 4 or 5 'mistakes' in a race is acceptable, 17 or 18 in a race is not.
- Seems there are a lot of people who dont actually read these briefings and then want to plead ignorance. If you are in a room with people, ask them if they have had a quick look at the briefing so they arent caught out by anything that is track specific... The obvious ones are track limits and pit entry / exit.
- A reminder that track limits are the ripple strip OR white line. Which ever is the widest if both are in the same spot ! YOu must have a part of your car on them to be considered inside track limits.
TRACK SPECIFIC INFO
- QUAL - Nothing to report here. Pits are open if need to change tyres.
- LAP 1 - Is relatively simple, just need to stay in your lane till you get through turns 2/3 for the run down the hill.
- TRACK LIMITS - OK.... Here we go ! The obvious one is the turn 9 esses. The rest of the track is pretty good at self regulating. I am asking everyone to keep an eye on 'cuts' through turn 9.
- PIT STOPS - The entry to pit lane is very short, so be aware if someone in front pulls left to get to the pits. Drivers going to pit SHOULD stay left on the exit of turn 11 so you dont get hit from behind.
- PIT EXIT - can be tricky. Drivers should stay in the pit exit line for the right hand entry to turn 1. Once past the parallel exit line, the car on the inside will have the corner.
STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : The stewards group will again consist of Myself, Ad2mny and Gary, with Aykay joining based on his involvment with Supercars... if you feel the need to protest, you need to make us aware by PM before midnight Monday following the race. You will also need to have Video evidence of your protest, or ask the room host to have a look on their replay. You may appeal any stewards decision, and the final decision will be made by Koastr. If there is an issue in the race
DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE ROOM OR ON THE FORUM.
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 !
