We(including the driver) agree that driving on public roads like that is terribly dangerous and can lead to the worst consequences! so please DO NOT TRY TO DO what you see in this video! We are not going to race in streets like these anymore! But still this is a very beautifull video!!!

That is cool. But, really...doing it around other cars. Not to cool. I'm sure this guy could find a road where there weren't any cars or poeple walking across the road.

Who's not being affected by 2.10's looping problem

 

[kendawg]

Haven't encountered this. But, I know alot of guys are getting kicked out of rooms..

 

[Nicktune]

I like driving at night. It eliminates distractions. And tcrash will report soon. I would also like to ask what cycle of time/weather we are running. Will it be like the race at nurburgring 1 day cycle n a wildcard on rain?

I was thinking... morning/afternoon race with high possibility of rain (dry start).

BMW

I had to watch the car chase in Ronin after that.

I watch Ronin car scenes before almost every Saturday night race. just about worn out the DVD. I love listening to the stunt coordinators interview even if I don't understand a word he says.

Hey everyone,

I just updated the points for last weekends race. I was a little sad to see that only 7 showed up and only 4 finished after having the nearly packed rooms the past few weeks. Hopefully we'll have a better turnout as la Sarthe tomorrow night. See you all then!

What are the parameters of the day / night cycle and weather for the race?
How many laps this time?

I think Nik said that he wanted a morning/afternoon race with possibility of rain.

I'll have the laps up later or Sat. morning.

[THRASH]

I wont make it to France tonight. I have a game tonight at 8:45. Il be in the room towards the end to save the replay and watch the end of the race. I hope you guys have a shootout and im very dissapointed I wont make it

 

[fzappa]

Tonight , we will be doing 23 laps on Circuit de la Sarthe 2009(Time/Weather).

 

[kendawg]

I have a question..
Does the rain tires count towards a compound change?

 

[Nicktune]

I have a question..
Does the rain tires count towards a compound change?

Good question... I remember in one of the rx-7 race, I did RH and RM before switching to rain tires but others did only racing tires/rain tires...

As long as you change compound once, it should be ok I guess..

 

[kcheeb]

In F1 if it's wet enough for inters or rains the two compound rule is waved. Just a thought.

Awesome, I'll go ahead and update that!

As for the weather policy, if we have rain at any point in the race, the tire rule is no longer in effect.

 

[tezgm99]

Not that I can take part in this, but it sounds like it could be a similar case to what happened at Silverstone last year with Ferrari starting on the harder (and better suited) tyre, hoping that the rain will come and Red Bull deciding to get the softer tyre out of the way first and worry about the weather later.....tough call

rain tire condition or simply rain?

 

[tezgm99]

rain tire condition or simply rain?

I'd guess enough to make you actually switch to inters or full wets :/

Ok someone joined the room already?

To be honest I think it would be best to go with 20% rain as the line for the tire rule. We haven't done a whole lot of races with weather, and if I remember correctly that is when most people switched to intermediates. So if the rain at any point in the race is over 20%, then you are free to use whatever tire you'd like for the remainder of the race.

Ok, thanks

 

[THRASH]

If the race started at 1030 I could make it but its gunna be close I gt a 30 min ride starting now
I don't wanna delay you guys but I might make it

 

[THRASH]

Nevermind I hit traffic

 

[WiiFreak]

Would have won had I not forgotten to change to softs on my pit stop, forcing me to pit a second time 👎

And if we ever race on La Sarthe again, please turn off the penalties. It gets extremely frustrating when you keep receiving 5-10 second penalties when you only have 2-off 2-on strip (which according to the Snail OLR is completely allowed).
