Season 5 discussion

yeah it does.....thanks......if used will look at a march date to get the track temp up just a little into the low to mid 30s....can adjust bast on time of day pretty easy

Ok guys, here is the track list and regs...Ads and i have tried (with the help of a lot of people) to mix it up a little this season, and YES we have gone with the compulsory pit stop for all rounds EXCEPT the sprint....Thanks to everyone who helped with testing and other things....

As always, we reserve the right to make adjustments to the calendar if there is a glaring issue with the regs, or if there is an oversight...

ALSO...divs will be provisional up until WEDNESDAY NIGHT, and we may even adjust after R1 if needed.....we always get some late entries so may need a little adjustment yet

I have tried to get as many of the rounds with all the regs so everyone can practice them......i just have to confirm the date of the wet round (to stop the tires over heating) and also the time progression for the R1 and the enduro.....

IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY SEEN, YOU WILL NEED TO SET YOUR PIT STRATEGY IN AN OPEN LOBBY (0 FUEL AND TIRES TO SYMMETRICAL) AND SAVE AS YOUR ACTIVE PIT STRATEGY...ALL INFO FOUND HERE....

iF YOU DONT, YOU ILL NOT GET TIRES IN YOUR COMPULSORY STOP, AND WILL ALSO HAVE YOUR TANK FILLED TO 60L AGAIN.....THIS WILL BE A HUGE DISADVANTAGE TO YOU !

I hope to have all these updated in the OP of each Div thread this week......

I am also hopeful of some news regarding a prizre this season, has dragged on longer than i would have liked so stay tuned......
Any problems, let us know....

Thanks

Hey stranger......no whinging but more questions to answer......

One of the reasons i wanted people to take tires was to stop guys having to test what was the best strategy, tires / no tires / bla bla bla.....with wear on real for all rounds i dont imagine that there would be too many who could run to the end without killing their tires...

Will confirm by wednesday and make a call......wont be hard to change the regs, but i also need to know that everyone knows whats happening so we are all on a level playing field
