LInk is blocked by work laptop.
I'll be driving.

I got you mate - all entered.

You been looking up porn again on the work laptop???????? Is that why every link is now blocked??

Is anyone doing any practice tonight

Haha. I was using my home PC up until last Friday. Switched to the work one now to allow access to more systems. Now I can't access my stuff..

Hope everyone is set to get dizzy tonight! Going to be an interesting night to say the least lol.

I'll have a room open earlier as usual unless someone else beats me to it

Just some info for the NextGenTwo guys, @Aza2672 is room host again for tonight.

Final call for team owners to finalise their entry please.

Practice: 7:45pm AEST
Briefing: 8:15pm AEST
Qualifying: 8:20pm AEST
Race: 8:30pm AEST

Room Hosts:
NextGenONE: @THE_UNDER_STUDY
NextGenTWO: @Aza2672 ​

At this stage, we are looking at having only around 11 to 12 racers in the NextGenOne room tonight.
I have yet to hear from the following team owners.
@LITTLEBLACKO942 (2 entries)
@CaptainRisky21 (1 entry)

The series was based on having the NextGenOne room as full as possible at all rounds.

If any NextGenTwo teams wish to go on standby tonight to race in the NextGenOne room, please let me know. You will still accumulate points in the NextGenTwo championship if you run your team in NG1. As a reminder, below is the point structure for a NG2 team running in NG1. If you do wish to go on standby, if I or any of the other stewards have not heard from the above teams by 7:15pm tonight, you will be placed in the NG1 room for tonights race.

Cheers.

So far we have @DeanK and Banana Hammock looking at going to gen 1 - Ab Saints would like to also but we would need another host for gen 2 if that's the case. @THE_UNDER_STUDY I will message you on PSN

Thanks to @Easyprey007 for jumping in to host the NG2 room.
Also thanks to @Xtr3meNZer for the orgy nizing of drivers.

Sorry unders, was at work and completely forgot to find a fill in.

Well that was something a bit different last night lol. The short track and super quick pit stops really made making a strategy up for this almost obsolete for myself lol. I just kept going in when I needed the tyres changed really lol. Also interesting enough - I didn't get a lot of traffic to contend with for most of the race - often times where the person in front was 6 seconds, and the person behind 3 seconds. Though in saying that, the people that did get blue flagged did pull aside to let the lead drivers go through, so that was great.

Few issues of crashes and such as happens in a lot of races - luckily with the crash ahead which caused about 3 of us to pile up behind it was right next to the pits... so didn't have to limp around too much to get that fixed... just the 6 seconds for the engine repair lol.

I do have to say though, a lot of unnecessary chatter - this is very distracting when you're racing bumper to bumper with others. If this could be addressed in future races that would be much appreciated.

Otherwise generally a good night! Special mention to Josh, King and Hatfield for their podium placings - though a very short track, it wasn't easy.

Thanks all, catch ya!

One thing I did notice, and I'd be curious if others had this problem also, is that in the last stint, I over filled the fuel above the diamond that was needed - as I normally do - and at the end of the race I actually can out... I wasn't pushing it either as had no one to battle with and no chance of gaining a position - but fuel was dropping very fast...

mostly the circuits that are a shortened version of their full track

and reverse tracks

edit: could also have been you didn't have the draft to assist with fuel saving, or as you were running a lighter weight vs your other laps, the car was running quicker and using more fuel

I believe that Lago Maggiore Centre in both directions is often somewhat glitched with the fuel indicator, normally shy by about a lap. Have noticed it once in an FIA race too

Yes saw same in gen2.
