    ok guys, provisional grid have been announced and are in opening post above.

    Positions have been based on finishing championship position and fastest lap/race times, however there may be someone who you feel is "way" out of position. If you have a query please PM me, AD2mny and clevo to have a look at it.

    Obviously we have a couple of slots available in each div, so if you can see that i have missed someone, or know of someone who is keen to race please let us know......am working on a prize pack for this season so bear with me on that..

    We are still working through the track list, and should have that sorted in the next few days....hopefully !

    Cheers stu / mod team

    ok guys.....did a heap more testing last night for PITSTOPS to work so you need to PLEASE read the following.....
    WHEN YOU HAVE LIKED THIS POST IT MEANS I KNOW YOU HAVE READ IT, UNDERSTOOD IT AND CHECKED IT !
    I WILL THEN MARK YOU IN GREEN IN THE DRIVER LIST IN THE OP. For drivers who havent liked, it just means i / we will need to make sure you get this right before the season starts.


    PITSTOPS....
    there will be 3 rounds where pit stops will be COMPULSORY. From the testing last night what SHOULD happen is you come into the pits, the car will be held for approx 4 seconds and then you will be released back into the race. IF YOU ARE FITTED WITH NEW TIRES OR GIVEN FUEL IT MEANS YOU HAVE THE WRONG PROFILE SAVED IN YOUR PIT OPTIONS.

    To test this ( @Ad2mny and @Samsung1998racer were having issues) we opened up the room to as normal, ran some 8 lap races and all pitted at different times. All of us were fine except for ADS and Samsung, who had either tires fitted or got the hot tires after the stop.

    I changed the room to tuning so we could access the PITSTOP options and found that the guys who had DEFAULT selected were the ones that had no issues. Ads and Samsung deleted all their saved pit options for other cars and then selected default.

    We went back to a NON TUNE ROOM and tested again and it worked perfectly for those guys....
    If you want to test on your own, do the following
    - online lobby
    - Tuning off
    - select 'compulsory pit stop' in the room options (in room settings at bottom)
    - start a race and you will get a side screen message saying 'compulsory pit stop' as you come to pit lane
    - pit in and you should be held for approx 4 seconds
    - on pit exit check to see that your tires and fuel have not changed from when you entered

    If fuel is filled, or you hear the rattle guns to take off your tires, or tires overheat on exit you will need to do the following
    - change the room regs to tuning allowed (default setups - no)
    - go into pitstop options in your race garage list
    - select "default" and make sure you select YES - OR delete all other car list till "default" is the only one
    - go back into a "default set up room" and try a race again with "Comp Pit stop". all should work properly.
    -

    JUST FYI, in my pitstop profiles i didnt delete any, i just selected the DEFAULT option which was sitting below the others.

    Track list is coming on well, thanks to the guys who have been helping with this process, looking good to be released as planned on sunday night....am looking at a full wet race, a twilight race, and night to day and also a full 24 HR cycle for the enduro ...... along with 3 races with a compulsory pit stop......BIg process so thanks to the guys for helping....

    Also hoping to have some news on a massive prize in the next day or 2 so stay tuned for that....

    Cheers stu / mod team

    guys did a heap of testing last night on pit stops (huge thanks to @@NAACS and @@Ad2mny who helped) and we may have stumbled across a way to make the stops work with a tire change and no fuel added...

    I will get to a seperate thread explaining how it works, but the three of us testing for 3 hours last night and may have found a way......

    Hi all,
    Will be hosting tonight so if you haven't got me on your list please send me a FR for tonight. Will open a room about 8pm AEDT tonight. Will start tonight with a quick tune lobby so that everyone can sort out their pitstops, and then we'll move on to short 5 or so lap races around some of the tracks on the calendar

    Hope to see lots of you there!

    Yeah he was on for Laguna all the way up to Donnington, then I jumped on with the idea of showing him some group racing as he was so excited and nervous while running close to the group.
    Thanks for letting him have a run guys. I'm working with him to get smoother :)

    Hi all,
    Just want to let you guys know that i wont be available for round 2 at Willow Springs, and round (likely) round 6 at Donnington as i will be at Barbagallo Raceway on those days. Round 2 is a 3 day race meeting 21-23 october, return of Formula 5000's to competition and i just cant miss that!. Round 6 sees the final local race meeting round as well as the enduros (Wanneroo 100, 200 and 300km races)

    Anyway, letting you all know early so we can sort out a replacement host for those rounds!
