SEASON 9 INFO & FEED BACK......PLEASE READ and POST ANY PROBLEMS!!!!

yeah tweak away stu im sure it will still b fun and as to the sprint round should we just use the medium tyres for booth sprint racers use it as a bit of a test run and c what every one thinks and then if we like it change to 1 stop and use softs and mediums

I just randomly picked that strategy to be honest, I didn't do any testing, and almost no practice. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I'm sure some people tested it out, and if it worked, good on em.

We originally went for the 2 tire races when the new tire model came out, now it has reverted back to the old tire model may have to go back to the one tire. There was nothing wrong with the one lap on hards, I see no sense in running the hard if everyone is now going to pit on lap one, there is no strategy in that anymore.
The soft might be a bit over tired but be the go if it drops off before half race distance, it then still offers a viable pit strategy race. You can pit early and maintain lap times then hope you can hold on to the end or pit later and run ya couple of slower laps mid race and come home on fresher tires and less fuel. Just an idea from observation and very little participation but put your 2 bobs worth in guys, need to get this sorted for the next race and want it to be what you want.

There was testing done before the series started but its hard to take into account the differing ware from track to track and with little time since the release of the new tire model and only a few guys doing the testing there was always going to be the need for some tweaking.
The organisers have selected a good car and series of tracks to offer yet another great rooze season, there are changes needed and with the community input it will be an even better series and it all helps for future series, so "speak up now or forever hold your peace".
The closer the racing the more enjoyable it is and with every tweak made to the series thats our primary objective, this thread is a good place to nut it all out before implementing them, appreciate all input.

Theve gone back to the old model? Casue if they have softs shouldnt last that long I think most of it was caused by softs wearing so slow.

Now random post for the day

I think the main problem Clevo was that the tyre model changed less than a week before the first race.

I hate hats!!!! lolzors cracks me up Na all good aussie dont fret, all the regulars are cool. I guess it might throw new ppl to the league though.

We aphreciate all both you and stu and everyone else has done.

My 2 pence (being that I am currently in the UK) is that 1 lap stints on any tyre is OK. I don't think this strategy would work on every track either. I dont think this would have worked at Monza for instance as the lap times were a lot closer between the 2 compounds.

Had this strategy not been used by a racewinner, I don't think the same outcry would exist.

Let's not get into changing regulations mid season again. That's a bit daft IMO. Changes should be left to the next season.

Forcing drivers to do a set minimum number of laps on an inferior compound will remove nearly all the strategy elements. If you start on hards and must do at least 12 laps, anyone who stays out longer needs their brain checked. Every extra lap you stay our on hards you will lose a massive amount of time to the others drivers. I can almost guarentee that 10 lap old softs will still be faster than new hards, that seems to be a universal rule.

The answer is to change to softs/meds I think. Meds/hards may also be viable. Qualy on what you want, and you must at least do 1 lap on the inferior rubber. I reckon that formula should be tested over the next week if we are having this sunday off.

If our races went for about double the current duration, strategy would really come into play as there would be a huge amount of options. It is present, but it is fairly diluted with the current race length. If we use multiple compounds there are really very few options as the race unfolds at the moment, but it does make it more interesting for sure.

I don't think there is any real need to over complicate this,

What about leaving it as it is BUT allowing only 1 pit stop, this allows an open strategy based on an indivduals use and or ability to make the soft tyres last, (go fast chew up softs, more time on hards/ back of a little bit, less time on hards etc.) this negates the need to police a minimum number of laps on a tyre while still allowing drivers to make their own choices.
No testing required.


Failing that softs/meds may work but could require some testing so as to avoid the possibility of the same thing occuring.

well this post doesnt make much sense now E's post was removed hahaha but ill leave it here anyway.

yeh ur out of line cause once again you cant read properly.
i have read through the posts and nowhere can i find someone saying not to start on the tyre you qualify on? and i think i know the post ur talking about but it doesnt say what ur claiming.

E seriously read things properly

I apologise for accidently outsmarting you at Suzuka. I didn't realise winning was a crime.

Cob this is the best and easiest fix so far. for us to not implement a 1 stop rule and change tyre compounds instead would be stupid.

1 Big vote for 1 stop only rule and staying with Soft/Hard compounds.

Not my idea, cjmonkey man mentioned it way back on page 1 of this thread. I just ran with it.

Cheers
