Yep hundred percent agree what if we start qually at half 8 and race from 8.45? Please speak up if this doesn't suit or you just want to keep it at normal time
Really appreciate this guys, time should suit me well. Thanks so much for giving up some of your time to delay for a bit. Will post a message on the forums when the event has finished and i will be heading home so i can give an approximate time I'll be home and online. Obviously, with me not getting home until just on quali it would be better that @George hosts this weekend instead if thats ok?
@mwkw1520 @tuddy5611 @Nathancarhead @rossi0nsx @fezza_21 @rcjm72 @bluebounty05 @Dev1lman_87 @david88 @Rumbleshorts @colin50. Just making sure everyone is aware we are looking at a slightly later start for the endurance race this weekend so that Nathan can make the last round please let us know if it is a problem for anyone. I will also put a message on playstation messenger just in case someone misses it here. Ant
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. 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 Stu
So if everyone turns up 12 people and mick comes last and I finish first I win by one tuddy is 9 points in front of me after count back on 106. Mick is on 117 and I am on 97. Not liking my chances of mick having a major fail. but I will be giving it a red hot crack to get at least on spot up. Looking forward to the race.
If I can manage another win, pole and fastest lap, I will need Mick to finish in the same position as last round (5th). Winning by 1 point. Exciting
I was going to do the math for yours but it hurt too much working out mine. Can't ask for a better last round. Good luck gents looking forward to it.
Don't forget all the others that have been knocking on the top step door i think that pole and fastest lap could play into the final results a lot.
guys, have done a race run to test that everything works as it should !!!.. I finished with 3.1 L of fuel so that's 2.5 laps spare, cant imagine anyone running out, if you do there is something wrong somewhere with how you are driving TIRES : MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE YOUR PIT STRAT SO YOU TAKE SLICKS...A few of they guys in the prac races have taken wets because they hadn't changed AND SAVED their strategy !!! Will get through comfortably on soft for both stints. PIT ENTRY : Make sure you stay right on the exit of T15 when you intend to make your stop. This will stop you having to 'potentially' drive across the nose of another car to enter the pits. Also, go in too hot and you will hit the wall and cop a potential penalty. Stu
Hi all, just a brief update for you all. We started todays events with a lengthy delay which put is about 20mins behind schedule, we managed to make up about 10mins of that by lunch, but we are experiencing another delay as i type this update. Expecting to finish about 4:45/5pm perth time at the moment with these delays. Will post another message once im about to head home
Update #2, with further incidents requiring further recovery we are roughly 30mins behind schedule at the moment. If it stays like this (and it could get worse), then start the race without me tonight. Appreciate you all wanting to wait for me, but can't expect eveyone to wait even longer. Will update you all with more info as i get it
10 minute qually at half 8 start race at 8.45 after 5 minute warm up. If George can get room up anytime after 7.30!
Hi all, more and more incidents in the arvo meant we finished quite late, and also meant I had some paperwork to fill out post event. Start without me if you haven't already, I'm only just leaving the track now
