Another epic fail'd championship

[ITCC_Andrew]

Sports Hard tires;

2:04.200 I know that 2:03 is possible.

I don't know, otherwise, for Sports softs.

 

[flakypastry]

It's race hards and sport softs that we're running right?

 

[rallymorten]

Yes, Racing Hard and Sports Soft. Sports Hard were a little too hard

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yes, Racing Hard and Sports Soft. Sports Hard were a little too hard

Nonsense!

 

[braunracing88]

Yes, Racing Hard and Sports Soft. Sports Hard were a little too hard

Sports Hard weren't so bad at the car's original power level of 295HP. At the current 360-370HP, yeah, the cars are a handful on them. So, which tire will be used for the feature?

 

[rallymorten]

which tire will be used for the feature?

Always the harder compound, Sport Soft

 

[braunracing88]

Always the harder compound, Sport Soft

Just checking. Thank you for clearing that up.

 

[Racingworld68]

So first race is friday, do we know the excact hour yet ?

 

[rallymorten]

Not first race, but test race 2, at 18 gmt (when Europe goes to daylight saving time, so do we)

 

[Racingworld68]

Wow that is early, no time to warm up then when I come home....

 

[rallymorten]

Just to allow all to be aware of it: the races will be held in my private lounge, for two main reasons:

1: we're absolutely sure to avoid randoms that can't race (Boul-something anyone?)

2: the private lounges are made this brilliantly that everyone basically can change things (because all are friends and therefore trusted). We had a minor problem with the grid for race 2, not blaming anyone here.

So it's a rather-safe-than-sorry precaution

 

[braunracing88]

Not first race, but test race 2, at 18 gmt (when Europe goes to daylight saving time, so do we)

So, when Europe goes into DST, what time would these races start in US Eastern Time?

 

[rallymorten]

Then the races should start an hour earlier again

Just when I thought it was safe to win.


Anyways, you're not specifying the one important thing: is it GMT moving ahead an hour, or is it me moving ahead an hour? Do I have to race at 2 PM my time, or 1 PM my time?

Will it be 13:00 my time, and 17:00 GMT-1 (Britain time) or 14:00 my time, and 18:00 GMT-1? Or, will it be the same entirely, and then change on Sunday?

 

[rallymorten]

Eeeh, look at it like this: it'll always be 18 British time

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Eeeh, look at it like this: it'll always be 18 British time

So, braunracing, that means 18 - 4 = 14:00 EST for tomorrow, then 13:00 for every event after. Glad that's settled.

 

[GTracer98]

I'm signing up but just to make sure, when is the test race? 29 March - 18:00 GMT?

 

[rallymorten]

Hey GT.

Yup, today in about 45 minutes. And I'm gonna open my private lounge in a few minutes when my brother's done. Until then, have a bit of info on the Clio:


And that guy's absolutely right about it!

 

[GTracer98]

:d

 

[GTracer98]

I did a 2,02'464 on sports hard. Maybe I cut the chicanes a bit too much, you can add a second to the time...

EDIT: I redid the lap without any corner cutting, did a 2,03'509.

 

[rallymorten]

You know the test's at Clubman Route 5 with Sport Soft/Racing Hard?

Lounge open, my private one 👍

 

[GTracer98]

Nope. I'm coming.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Nope. I'm coming.

^ Hey there GTracer98.

 

[rallymorten]

Remember all, the tyres you use in qualifying are the tyres to use in race one. Also beware there are two different compounds with different grip levels on track. And most of all, please, try to avoid going three wide in turn 1

I see GT, Mel and Dave online right now, I'm possibly moving it to a public lounge just for promoting this

Oh, I forgot, miss 2 race weeks without explanation will mean you can kiss goodbye to this season

 

[GTracer98]

Question is: what is considered a reasonable explanation for absence?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Race 1 - in my eyes, I done won.

Race 2 - Was Jammy finally on the right tires?

Race 3 - great racing! Best racing I've had since... ITCC preseason at Trial Mountain. But, I ended in an invisible wall. *insert rage guy meme* Then I decided to laugh it off, and see if anyone else finds my rants funny. *insert rant*

 

[GTracer98]

I agree with ya: the third race was very exciting! I do, however, like that we're quite similary paced, your're just a tad faster

Race 1 - in my eyes, I done won.

Just like in my mind I won the 2nd race.

 

[rallymorten]

@GT, basically as long as you say you'll be absent it's considered ok. I'm not that picky on it if you're a part-timer, Racingworld has made me aware of his schedule, but miss 2 week undeclaredly and it's goodbye.

Race 1 - in my eyes, I done won.

Race 2 - Was Jammy finally on the right tires?

Race 3 - great racing! Best racing I've had since... ITCC preseason at Trial Mountain. But, I ended in an invisible wall. *insert rage guy meme* Then I decided to laugh it off, and see if anyone else finds my rants funny. *insert rant*

All I know is you were inches from ruining my race

 

[flakypastry]

Great racing today guys! I just wish I hadnt been asleep for the first two. Stupid graveyard shift last night Dx

I hope this is an indication to whats to come for the season

Graveyard shift? Why does that make me think of 2F2F

Edit: proposed penalties sent to MrMelancholy for him as steward to sign 👍
