Season 5 - Division 2

DRIVER BRIEFING R6 - Donington GP (sorry its late)





Ok guys....wet round this week, will be tough to get through incident free..
Weather slots : LIGHT RAIN
LAPS : 33
DATE : 20/12/16 @ 3pm
Fuel: REAL
Tire Wear : REAL
Time Progression : Real
COMPULSORY PIT STOP : ON. Drivers will have to make a stop, and its up to you if you want to replace tires. You can run inters if you want, but we have found that they are not as nice to drive on as the full wets.
Qual : 10 mins
5 MIN WARM UP for any last minute issues or DSC
PENALTIES : ON
TIRES : WET (default)- may run inters from pit stop if you wish
DAMAGE : Visual only
PIT EXIT / ENTRY : Pit entry is fine, pretty straight forward. Exit, all drivers will have to be mindful of re-entry to the raceline, and cars approaching 1 at race speed.
TRACK LIMITS : There is nowhere here to cut and gain an advantage. Please use the standard ROOZ rules, 2 wheels must be on the ripple strip or white lines at all times. There are cut penalties at pretty much every corner, so be ware !!
DRIVING STANDARDS : Tough track to pass on. Be patient and remember it's better to give up a spot and continue the fight, then make contact defending, have it all turn pear shaped, and have to fight your way back after avoidable contact. A reminder that side to side contact will more often than not, result in the magnetic effect, so ALL drivers need to give reasonable room to someone making a clean and reasonable pass.
CONTACT : There is a high chance of push penalties this round at turns 1 (redgate) and the final esses. If you push someone into a penalty or offline for your advantage, you will be expected to redress, and give the position back. Again, use your heads and give room where needed............Don't use other cars as a brake ! If you are mid /back of the pack, remember to brake earlier to avoid contact.
RETURNING TO TRACK : If you do happen to go off track, please use your heads when returning. Stay offline until you are back up to race speed so you don't compromise other drivers.
BLUE FLAGS : A reminder that if you are about to be lapped, its is good racing etiquette to move to the side where possible to let the leaders through.
MICS : Please remember to mute your mic during the race, unless you are in a chat room and its agreed by all you can keep them on.
PROTESTS : As always, if you feel you have reason to protest, save your replay, and then contact the room captains and the mod team, Myself or AD2MNY.....DO NOT blow up in the chat room, or on the forum.
RAGE QUITTING : A reminder that if you rage quit the room, you will receive 0 points, not be able to use it as your drop round and it wont count as a round of your 4 needed to be eligible for the PAGNIAN prize. If you have to stop, park up in the pits and let the race run down without leaving so it doesn't glitch the other drivers or replay.
SWERVING : A reminder that swerving to try to stop another driver gaining the draft is NOT permitted. You may change your line once, and that's it.
LAG : There have been a few instances in the last few rounds where lag has had an effect on certain drivers. PLEASE, if you suffer from this, FOLLOW THE CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR PROTESTS / ENQUIRIES before blowing up at someone who may not have done anything wrong.

Anything i have missed let me know

@VENDALISM i have known you a long time and not sure what's going on, but your treading a very fine line to a ban at the moment. There is no need for those comments, and it's not your go.

Calling all budding journalists!!

We require help from anyone who can put their hand up to do write-up's for the ROOZ NEWS.

If you are interested, please PM myself & @Ad2mny

Well, here we are at the final round for 2016 !
Good luck to all those drivers who are fighting it out for a championship against some very good drivers.






Fuel - slow
Tire wear - REAL
Tire Compound - Start race on soft (default) then open at first stop.
VISUAL DAMAGE - OFF (due to loss of headlight at night after contact / crash)
Compulsory Stop - Pit lane open END OF LAP 1
IMPORTANT !!! Make sure you have adjusted your pit strategy to change to the tires you want to use at your stop ! It is an OPEN STRATEGY for the enduro, meaning you can run on the SOFT, MEDIUM or HARD tire if you want. I think you can get through with 1 stop on the softs though without too much hassle.
FUEL : I will test tonight to make sure we can get home.....you will need to average under 1.2 L per lap to make the 50 laps.....remember if you decide to take fuel you need to fill up to a certain amount of fuel. I will do some maths tonight based on a race run.
Weather slots
1. Clear
2. Light cloud
3. Heavy Cloud
4. clear

Qual : 10 mins (PIT LANE CLOSED DURING QUAL)
5 MIN WARM UP for any last minute issues or DSC
PENALTIES : ON
TIRES : SOFT (default)- may run MEDS OR HARDS from pit stop if you wish.
DAMAGE : OFF due to needing lights during night running
PIT EXIT / ENTRY : Pit entry is fast, if you come in there too hot you will hit the wall on the left.
TRACK LIMITS : There are a few spots here where you can run wide WITHOUT incurring a penalty. Turns 15 and 16 are the two most notable, so, please use the standard ROOZ rules, 2 wheels must be on the ripple strip or white lines at all times. There are cut penalties at pretty much every other corner, so be ware !!Any drivers continually, and intentionally going off track will incur a penalty
DRIVING STANDARDS : Plenty of passing opportunities, but be patient and remember it's better to give up a spot and continue the fight, then make contact defending, have it all turn pear shaped, and have to fight your way back after avoidable contact. A reminder that side to side contact will more often than not, result in the magnetic effect, so ALL drivers need to give reasonable room to someone making a clean and reasonable pass.
CONTACT : There is a high chance of push penalties this round at turns 1 (redgate) and the final esses.
