*MESSAGE TO FIELD*

Freindly reminder to all of us, over the last 48 hours the stewards have been deep in discussion over one or two discrepancies. No one is being singled out this is aimed at all of us hosts stewards inclueded. After watching replay after replay lap after lap some of us have pushed the boundaries a little to far, over use of the runoffs avoidable shunts aggresive moves have all been mentioned.
This is down to a combonation of things imo 1st race of the season all of us are keen on a good start, Race rusty after the season 1 lay off, a 15/16 car grid (Great btw!!) but not something some of us are used to perhaps. And the track itself maybe not a great opening track with us all being so over eager.
Personally i know 95% of this seasons field and all of you are very capable in your own way so heres the bottom line. Fuji is a wake up call to ALL of us last thing we want is anyone else considering leaving because they feel the V8's are not up to scratch. So please note the rules are there for everyone to observe and there isnt many really (Although the pit lane exit white line rule has been updated for safety reasons thx Steg) Shunts,corner cutting,runoff use,aggresive moves will all be looked at with an element of common sense from Suzuka onwards Kingsakery will become 6th steward to help with such events all our spare time is precious so a 6th steward is deemed necessary.
One thing which is simple during a race if you belt someone up the rear or t bone another car by mistake (it happens) please dont drive off into the distance slow down and give the place back believe me you will feel better for it at the end of the race. So in a nutshell penalties either time or place/places will be given out to anyone who dosent comply with these guidlines from Suzuka onwards. Penalties will be at the discression of the stewards as every incident is generally different concrete rules for each and every situation is kind of hard to spell out. Remember if you feel you have been hard done by let one of the stewards know dont sit there and stew on it we are here to help. Its impossible for us to spot everything so please let us know and we will look into it might not always get the response you hoped for but hey please try sure the 6 of us will thrash it out fairly.

Fuji overall wasnt a disaster far from it there was alot of good stuff out there trust me ive seen alot of laps!!:ill:

To sum up please read our rant carefully we are simply trying to improve things for everyone so we all get maximum fun out of the V8 series thats our objective at the end of the day.

Hope all this fits on the thread see you all at Suzuka!!

Over and Out.

JB on behalf of Gedi and the Stewards.👍

Bump for late comers (up the workers)!!
 
Help! Just bought the DLC (Bundle) and it's not showing up in the Downloads section? :scared:
 
Think I've got rid off Fuji's under-steer and will hopefully be more competitive this week. Best so far 2.02.8 should hopefully be able to get in the low 2.01's.

@tom: Start the game and before entering GTmode on the far right there is a arrow just klick there.
We all have it already due to downloading spec 2.
The activation has to be bought => no further dl neccessary
 
Just given race 2's 29 laps a run out, hmmm cant see many 1 stop strategies here 2 all day long for me, best lap of 2.01.081. 3 shredded wheat me thinks race 2 alone is near on an hour!!:nervous::nervous:

I will give it a go later
 
Depending on how close to the pace I am here, I would consider a 1 stop.

I'm pretty good with the tyres and have done around 18 laps at Suzuka without pitting in another series.

It was very very hard after about 15-17 laps though and the time I lose through tyre wear might not be worth the risk.

Testing will tell :)

My 458 seems to eat tyres, any suggestions to save tyres??

No huge tips mate, Just think smooth in your head.

Get your turning done nice and early to save you having to over-steer.

Gradually putting the power down on exits is the main thing though.

When my tyres go it's 95% likely I have been allowing the back end to step out on the exits.

Destroy your tyres 3/4 of the way and practice with them like that, then when it happens in the race you are comfortable enough to keep on going.

Some of the guys in my series one managed to do 30+ laps of Monaco without pitting, that's when I realised I had to look after my rubber better :lol:

Dont you think your decision to miss Suzuka because you "Hate it" is kinda lame Furi?? We all have tracks we like dislike but still we all try and commit to every race??
Ofcourse we all have reasons to miss the odd one but because its not one of your favs frankly thats pretty weak fella.:grumpy:

Surely your attitude should be right not one of my best tracks little extra practice needed?? Any points i then pick up is a bonus!!💡
