    I noticed i wasnt nearly as aggressive with the kurbs as others. I was avoiding them before i realised others were 4 wheeling over them lol.

    Did improve my lap time

    Don't have to worry about looking after the tyres until the wet round. There is no way you'd require more than 2 sets of tyres which given you need to pit at least once means there's only a 16s advantage in the pits if you only use 1 set.

    Correct. You just make sure you select no tyre change and just press X to close ur pit strategy and you should only sit there for about 1 second :)

    Sorry I didn't make the meet and greet last night. Or even let you know I wouldn't be there. Been a hectic week leading up to this weekend and haven't been on the forum much. Then we were away all this long weekend (QLD).

    Apologies for missing the M&G, internet has been more fried than shriveled potato cake from a dodgy fish and chip shop, switching providers and hopefully its back on by Friday

    Sorry guys, looks like I am out for a little while. My steering wheel is playing up again! Tried installing the latest update but still hasn't fixed it. I think I will be fighting with Pagnian to get some compensation out of this seeing as tho it is the 3rd one since our multi buy

    Ok guys, Please take 2 mins to read through the following so everyone is on the same page....is a generic post given to all divisions.

    HOST : stuart170773
    BACK UP HOST : CAGME7
    ROOM CAPTAINS : Stuart170773 / CobMcCool
    ROOM SETUP

    I will message all room captains and hosts but there were a number of things that we found last season.
    - After prac on race night, the room host is to set a NEW ROOM for all to enter.
    - once everyone has rejoined, THEN start the event. This stops the replay glitch, caused from people coming and going.
    - Qual is 10 mins as always, have a 5 min warm up after to try to solve any last minute issues.
    - Mics : we ask that mics are off during the race, however we cant stop drivers from having a private convo open. Some headsets do create some sort of feedback for other drivers so please be mindful of this.

    DRIVING STANDARDS
    As always we want to have hard, but more importantly FAIR racing. PLEASE respect the league and your fellow racers. As has always been the case in ROOZ league races, the track limits are the ripple strips or white lines. Contact with other cars is to be avoided at all costs. If you make contact that gives a clear advantage PLEASE REDRESS on track. IF you have cause to protest, please do so through a PM to your room captain or one of the mods. This season you have until WEDNESDAY 1pm, following the race, to submit a protest.

    I am in the process of negotiating prizes for the rest of the year, please dont jeopardise this by creating a :):):):) storm that our sponsors will be looking at as i have linked them into the threads to see numbers and interest ;)

    RACE REGULATIONS
    You MUST make a compulsary stop, it will be up to you whether you take on new tires or not. You will NOT need to add any fuel. I will be asking the room captains to turn OFF compulsary stop in the options, so we dont all get the really annoying message pop up every lap. Anyone found to have finished the race without stopping will be excluded from the event, with DSQ to go against your points total. (you may NOT use this as your dropped round)

    PITSTOPS
    A reminder that you will need to setup your pit stop options in the home screen once you get into the race lobby. If you are unsure of how to do this please let me or your room captain know. If you DONT want to change tires you will need to select this in the pitstop options. If you DO, simply hit "close" when you enter the pit lane and the options you have selected will be performed.

    TIRE WEAR
    Wear is on X2, but even the guys heaviest on wear could 'possibly' get through without changing. Welcome to the strategy play ! Either run to the end without changing, or take 16 secs for fresh rubber and chase down the guys at the end who will be on dead or rapidly dyeing tires.

    Remember that the tire wear on the game screen shows ONLY 50% of your wear IE : When you lose all your green from the tire icon it means you still have 50% left. If you dont have it already i would suggest you get PCARS dash as an app. Cost is minimal and gives you a load of valuable information. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    FUEL
    When you pit, the fuel will only fuel UP to the total you have selected in the pitstop options. IE, unlike GT6, if you have 10L selected in your pitstop options it will only fill up to 10L, it wont add 10 ! So if you come in with 20L, it wont add anything. If you come in with 5L, and have 10L selected, it will add 5L to take it up to 10 .... hope that makes sense ! Given the car wont need fuel other than the enduro, all you will need to know is how much you need to get to the end, for round 1 it will be "around" 40L.

    WEATHER
    I have mixed up the weather slots to add a bit of variety to our races. The only time that this affects the track temp is with "fog / rain / night" driving. I would suggest that you have tire pressures set up for lower temp and normal track temps. With the exception of the enduro, it will be one stint where you will have a strong reason to adjust tire pressures according to track temp. General rule is to run your pressures a little lower for the lower track temps. Pressures are however a very personal preference, determined heavily by your driving style.

    If there is anything that i have missed let me know so i can add it in here......
