First of all, I'd like to participate, but unfortunately, I can't race Online due to Internet issues.

Just an advice: Instead of setting a lap limit (like 20 laps), set a distance limit in km, so the duration of the races are more or less equal.
For example, compare Silverstone and Brands Hatch (Indy) , if both races are 20 laps the one on Silverstone will be much longer.

I wish you best of luck with this tournament!

I'll add you to the list

What time is this at in the UK mate?

Also a suggestion, use racing hard tyres. softs are terrible

I believe you have that the other way around.

I think NurbKing is totally correct...

 

[Ninners]

Softs make the series easy especially with a car as light and as powerful as this. Even sport tyres would make for good grip.

no, I used them in a series and it's really bad

 

[RyanRacer]

Softs make the series easy especially with a car as light and as powerful as this. Even sport tyres would make for good grip.

That is part of the whole point. This allows drivers to push harder while at the same time retaining some of the occasional unpredictability with the stock tune. Besides, Racing Hard tires on this car with the stock tune cause too many spins with no warning before the grip will give away. Also, have you ever stopped and thought, that maybe there could be good grip with some cars in real life? Why are people so against grip? It makes no sense.

mate, trust me, when I used softs it was a terrible decision, it was no fun

Because if you have all this grip you just can floor it around every turn. People won't make mistakes as it isn't possible, so there is less racing.

Then I guess I'm just different.

Because driving a car on rails isn't fun. You want to be able to slide it like they did in real life. Its no fun without that.

 

[RyanRacer]

Racing Hard tires it is. I guess I'll just have to deal with spinning like a top every race; probably won't finish higher than dead last, because the basis of my driving style lies on my pace.

 

[Harsk100]

Racing Hard tyres make you oversteer but for other side, Racing Soft would not be fair to other drivers (RS tyres have less grip and last less time than RH tyres especially if 1 pit stop is required). In real life, they use the RH tyres, so I recommend you putting RH tyres in the championship otherwise the RS tyres will spoil take the fun away.

 

[Ninners]

Even Sport tyres would have good grip for this series.

 

[Furinkazen]

Yes as massive GT-style "ton of grip" slicks were not in an old F3 car. GT doesn't take tyre width into account for grip levels - which is why RH tyres on a Ralt will offer as much grip as a Range Rover Evoque.

 

[Bo]

Even RH tyres have too much grip for me with the Ralt.

Yes it does actually, hence all the issues with the wheel width glitch from release.

That was for custom rims only.

 

[Bo]

Well for them at least.

 

[BAZZER]

How come tuning prohibited? Back end get really lose on certain tracks as standard

 

[RyanRacer]

Which GMT+/- is BST?

Even Sport tyres would have good grip for this series.

Sports tires are a no-no.

How come tuning prohibited? Back end get really lose on certain tracks as standard

Tuning is prohibited to add more realism(It was the real setup used) and to prevent drivers with a better tune to have an unfair advantage.

Everyone: Stock tune, RH tires. I'll start working on the calender as soon as I can, which probably won't be until this weekend.

 

[Harsk100]

How come tuning prohibited? Back end get really lose on certain tracks as standard

Why do you want tunning to be allowed?

Which GMT+/- is BST?

GMT from Portugal, for example. In my country, is 15:26, so UK should be in same hour as Portugal.

 

[BAZZER]

Why do you want tunning to be allowed?

I like to get the back end under complete control

 

[Furinkazen]

Despite sport tyres having accurate grip level...

 

[Harsk100]

I like to get the back end under complete control

What do you mean?

 

[Bo]

I like to get the back end under complete control

I don't think a car could be under any more control.
