    I was going to go with our real race date, unless someone has a better idea. Nurb in November might be interesting for temps.

    i did a brief run at the Nurburga using a November date & the softs worked fine, cant remember the track temp but the ambient was in the single figure digits later in the afternoon. this would mean you could go risky with the radiator opening, big gains to be had there at enormous risk!

    Yeah, quick practice run on that date with clear weather. Race start time has 6 deg ambient, 18 deg track.

    If turning is on then the track temp shouldn't be a problem just adjust the tyre pressures

    Just 3 and a half weeks to go!
    We have 3 declared teams entered so far, there is space for 1 more team for a 1 room series.
    You won't find a more authentic racing experience in any other series on Rooz.
    The option is there to run 2 rooms if 6 teams enter (2 drivers from each team in each room so that results scoring is still fair).

    Only if someone can help me with a tune. I don't have a lot of time at the moment to muck around with it too much, plus I suck at it anyway! (tuning)

    OP Updated.

    Team Handbrake is in da house!
    As mentioned in the OP, to add more teams we will need to run 2 rooms.

    Also need to finalise start times for the Saturday nights. I'm currently considering opening the room with a 15 min practice session at 7:15pm, Qually will be 30 mins from 7:30pm with the race to immediately follow. Let me know if this causes issues for anyone.

    Will race start be rolling or standing?

    WEC is rolling start, and that is probably the safer option with a mixed grid and full damage. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would welcome a reduced chance of being in a race ruining incident before the 1st corner.

    That will only affect the last 2 rounds, we could consider pushing those back, would half an hour later be ok?

    The later the better for me and the boys in WA would probably like a little later start. But then it gets late in NZ so thats a hard one
