Question to all Pro teams!!!!


Do you all have Skype and Facebook...

I Need all teams to say yes or no

 

[Phouchg]

Do you mean as a team or as individuals? as team NO to both, as individuals YES to both.

 

[memto89]

as in if your team has access to both doesn't matter if by team or individual

 

[Gadget334]

TMB Yes to both

 

[adrianhettich]

ABL yes to both

 

[Glenalz81]

Any word on you guys making a Scottish pro team yet? I know you had 2 drivers and just looking for a 3rd

Still working on it, two drivers are still solid but the closer it gets the less chance i'll have for putting things in place.
The mrs works at silly times and there's 3 kids to get shuffled about to babysitters.
If i cant get a 3rd driver before the 10th of feb i think we've had it.

Its not all bad though. I will follow the action as closely as i can and be better prepared for the N24 next year.

 

[Ninners]

Well actually you only really have until Saturday as it is mandatory for a pro team to compete in at least one VLN race.

Since you have been planning on joining for a while i think a special allowance will be granted, that rule is only for teams to come out of the blue and try and confirm but you have been there pretty much since day one of the new thread

Some people might be willing to travel some to get there if you can arrange with them to help with the back of beyond end part of the journey, have you asked about amongst the drivers here and maybe the WEC? 💡

 

[Phouchg]

@memto89 I was just about to say so Should be able to test the final driver some time there in the weeks leading up to the race.

Why don't the two 'solid' drivers you have run in VLN R3 this weekend which at least gets over the 'must compete in a VLN Round' requirement. We can try and find a 'remote guest driver' for you this weekend so you can have a presence in all three Race Lounges, and then continue to look for a local to join you on 22nd Feb

Depending on the car they choose I would be willing to run a third car for them.

now that is an offer lol

 

[Phouchg]

If you don't like their car you could ride with us in the merc *wink wink*

 

[Ninners]

Arggghh stop tempting me lol. I have an AM division to win!

 

[Phouchg]

You know you want it Nin.. Adam can probably win that AM title by himself

 

[Gadget334]

Depending on the car they choose I would be willing to run a third car for them.

As last 'Am Team' to pick the car would be the Audi R8 LMS Oreca but if you go Pro then you can also add to that any of the cars currently picked by Am Teams.

 

[Phouchg]

But pro team with one of the drivers in the US and two in scotland.. sounds ambitious.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I would just be running the VLN race this weekend depending on the car they choose and if they want me to.

 

[adrianhettich]

You really have 2 have the guts to drive on 5th gear in pitch black

 

[RACECAR]

Well after managing to get through a race on Racing hards in the wet, I'm pretty much ready for this then

Didn't realize the final VLN was this weekend, holy crap. Good to know then, I can prepare for it.

​

Stewarding:
This is a Stewarded event, so make sure you read the rules and keep your driving in check. We are expecting an Incident report from every driver within 24h of the race finish!!! If you are not aware of what one is, it is the lap and incident you had and who with.

Room opening:
Rooms will be opened at 21:00 GMT, All drivers need to have the host added to their friends list (it is not the host responsibility to add drivers)

Spec Check:
Spec Check will happen at 21:30 GMT and should last about 5 mins. Please be silent for this so that the host can get through it faster.

Qulifuying:
Will be 20 mins, The track will be changed and then changed back to remove all times. Once the track has loaded then qualifying has started. The time will be shown in the top right corner, after the clock hits 20 mins then qualifying will be over. There will be a 5 min break for any drivers to get drinks, go to the toilet etc. The host will announce this when the 5 mins will end.

Start:
The start will be a Rolling start in 2x2 formation, The leader will roll out of turn 12 at 40MPH/64KPH in the 2x2 formation. Once in the acceleration zone the leader will go at full throttle (With no lifting) and the host will call green.


Odds will start on the left even on the right, If the same issue happens as round one where people start out of place, that driver will be disqualified.

Finish:
The finish will be when the message pops up that the leader has passed the line for 1 more lap. (Lap 22) you will then make your way to turn 11 of the GP circuit and wait behind the leader until the last person has reached the same place. After that you may finish the race or leave.

Scoring:
This is a team event, therefore the teams time will be added together and the team with the smallest number wins and will receive the top points. AM teams and Pro teams will be scored in different categories as this is qualifying for the N24.

1st - 10
2nd - 8
3rd - 6
4th - 5
5th - 4
6th - 3
7th - 2
8th - 1

Time progression:
This is the second instalment of the VLN series and it will take place in the mid day. Time will be set to 1 so that you get a good idea how the real race will work.

Coms/Text:
Please do not use headsets or the text box in qualifying of the race. Its distracting and not very considerate. If you do it you will be asked to leave the series.

Lapping cars:
New rules for Round 2 onwards are, you must over take a car on the left, lapped car stay right, if the car is not on the right then it is not safe to over take (by faster cars judgment). Failure to do so may mean a blue flags penalty.

Race Reports:
It is critical that you send a race/incident report to the lobby host, it is inconsiderate of drivers if they do not send one as the hosts will spend a good few hours going through the footage.

I think this is a typo. It's Round 3 and start time should be around midnight I believe.
