IRACING IRLOZ S1 Time slot poll

OK guys there's enough drivers there already to start some fun racing and more are welcome to join at any stage. So let's commit to a time slot and get this going.

Considerations;

• Sunday night limits participation of GT5ers (Timmo? and Bonus?)[/*]
• Weeknight start times are limtied to approx 6.45pm WA time (9.45 NSW, 11.45 NZ with daylight savings) - proposed session time is 90mins so that's a late finish for some (11.15pm NSW, 1.15am NZ!).[/*]
• The night preference will also dictate whether we run the 'current' iRacing track, or one week 'in advance'; and to some extent whether we run the 'even' or 'odd' track schedule[/*]

Known Preferences;

• Chris votes for Sunday (Odd track Schedule)[/*]
• My weeknight preference is Wednesday[/*]
• I'm guessing Wayne your preference would be Sunday's for an earlier start/finish over in NZ![/*]
• Timmo votes for Mondays (are you competing in GTLOZ on Sunday's?)[/*]

Please everybody who wants to participate, chuck in a vote to confirm preference and let us know if there's any slots you would be unable to attend. Actual times are not set in stone. We can adjust somewhat once we've decided on the most suitable day.

Cheers

P.S. If there's no clear majority vote on first preference the vote will be decided most overall votes (first + second preferences)
P.P.S. If there's no confirmation that anyone will be simply unable to make Sunday's then this will be given priority status (for non-majority or tie-breakers)

I need some confirmation of interest from those competeing in GT5 on Sunday. Or confirmation there are others who are unable to make Sunday.

Otherwise I'll probably just make an executive decision to override the votes and make it Sunday.

At the moment the only possible conflict with GT5 registered is Timmo who was DNS last week

Alrighty.

Let's start this week. Tied on first preference is Sunday and Wednesday. The decider swings to Sunday unless there are any further votes or objections.

I will leave the poll open until Tuesday for any last minute voting (2 voters to lodge), but draft up the schedule now assuming Sunday.

Cheers for the input fella's.

Timmo. It's the whole session that's 90mins not the race.

Check out the session break down here

We've allowed a good 30-35mins for practising. This accomodates late comers, but also helps up build and share setups so the session functions as a club meet that we all benefit from.

Qualifying will be one lap each (solo but still concurrent), but I'll book this as a 10min time slot for the 'piss-farting' factor.

The actual races will only be 15mins and 30mins each but I'll book the maximum time with say a 10 min buffer.

From what I can gather from fiddiing with the booking options and reading/watching on the forums;
The session timing is firm I believe although there maybe an option to proceed to the next session early. They are maximum times settings to ensure you get through all your intended sessions within the server booking (2hrs in our case, as this is the minimum). So it's an OR function, not and AND function. i.e. #of laps or maximum time allowance, not #of laps plus time allowance.

So practise will automatically switch to quali after 35mins maximum. Quali will end after 10 mins maximum. Races will end after the number of laps are reached or the maximum allowed time elapses. You have to set both. So race session will automatically end after say 25mins and 40mins.

I get where you're coming from but I think we're all keen on the benefits of a 'club meet' format. The two race format adds to this so there's an opportunity to try a different setup or just get a second chance, while also keeping the racing closer than longer races might otherwise.

P.S. Chris, with the 2 race format we have to book 2 sessions. With minimum session time 2hrs I'm sure we'll have plenty of time.
What I'll do is setup the second round after we've finished in the first, so it doesn't start without us, or we don't have to wait around for the booked time if we finish early. So there'll be a few minutes to get us all over the the next server and you have to have a minimum 5mins practise.

I reckon rFactor 2 will look comparible to these shots when the HDR lighting is implemented.
