DRIVER BRIEFING - ROUND 3 - SPRINT ROUND

Ok guys......is the sprint round this weekend, 2 x 22 lap races with the second race a reverse grid for half points.

RACE REGS :
QUAL : 10 mins as normal
LAPS : RACE 1 - 22 laps. RACE 2 - 23 laps (1 formation lap)
GAME DATE : 12/2/16
TIME : 11am
FOG : LOW
TIRE WEAR : SLOW
FUEL : REAL
PENALTIES : ON
PIT LANE : CLOSED FOR QUALIFYING and RACE

I have had to run with these regs for a number of reasons. The first one is to keep the track temp down so it doesnt overheat the tires.....The track temp will be at 20*, ambient 15* and my front left maxes out at 107*. This is why i have moved the tire wear to slow.....i finished a test race last night on 77% with it on real, so slow will see everyone be able to get home easily. Even with the fog on, vision is fine, much better than running early morning or late night where the sun is blinding and extremely difficult to drive with.....

TRACK LIMITS


Usual track rules will apply for all parts of the track WITH THE EXCEPTION of "The Link" which is the run onto the Hangar Straight. There is no line on the exit (left side) so you may run wide there, from what i saw last night there is no advantage anyway, it actually costs you time if you go too far left.

Stowe could be an issue if you continually run wide, to gain an advantage.
Exit of turn 1 can be a lottery, there is a penalty there if you run too far off, be aware of rejoining safely if you go off.

PIT LANE CLOSED : Pit lane will be closed at all times. This is because drivers could get a false qual time or last lap race result based on the timing line being shorted going through pit lane

RACE 2 REVERSE GRID PROCEDURE.
At the conclusion of race 1, the room captain will add 1 lap to the total (23) and at the start of race 2, ask for everyone to line up in the reverse order that drivers finished in race 1. Once the room captain is satisfied that everyone is in the right position, the formation lap will start, and drivers will remain single file at approx 100klms until the EXIT OF CLUB (final chicane), where the race leader will begin the race.

Drivers are permitted to warm tires up until the exit of 'STOWE' where everyone will fall into single file for the run down to Vale and Club Corner. At this stage all cars should be nose to tail, with no more than 2 car lengths between drivers.
NO PASSING UNTIL YOU HAVE CROSSED THE START LINE.

If there is anything i have missed let me know, of if anything else needs clearing up just ask.

Stu

It is a slight advantage, however over 22 laps i think you will find the fast guys will still find their way through. Also remember that race 2 is only half points so finish last in race 1 and 1st in race 2 you still wont win overall

Drivers briefing updated with tire warm up procedure etc for formation lap

I'm a no-show this round guys, going to watch my team get their butts handed to them.

Hope you guys have a trouble free round, and I'll see you Sunday week.
