Rolo can you pm what's going on with pre-season tests alerts not been working again and got a little lost on whats going on.

If races move back an hour later I may have time problem.
Got to leave for work at 21:20 so really need not to be racing past 21:00.

I thought that it would be a problem for you, I can remember you having to leave early before when we were running later than scheduled.

Here is tomorrow's deal:​

Race 1 - Tokyo R246 - 11 Laps, Pit 4 - 8
Race 2 - Indianapolis Road Course - 12 Laps, Pit 5 - 9
Race 3 - Apricot Hill - 14 Laps, Pit 6 - 10

You will get one championship point for every race you finish at least 50% distance. Race results are not important. No qualifying (although a Pre-Q test will be run at 6.45pm tomorrow, as it will every week).

Only the first 16 drivers to enter the lounge will be allowed to race. Too late? Too bad.

10-minutes practice in between races for acclimatisation.

Usual driving standards are expected, so stay clean please. No stewarding or penalties pre-season (unless you're being a real douche), but use your common sense.

Drive what you like from the car list. Change it up as much as you want, but run every car to its correct spec (unless asked otherwise). However, it is recommended that all cars are fairly represented in pre-season to help car development. If a car hasn't been run much, it's a good idea to run it.

Please do not run massively tuned-up cars. Minimal tuning is acceptable, but please try to keep it simple for now. If you can gain time with more tuning, then that will be obvious anyway without having to actually do it yet.

And therein lies the issue. If I have a couple of guys who can't do the extra time then it's almost better to delay.

Still not sure on exact work times yet though.

ALL-TIME STATISTICS:

Finishes, Wins, Podiums, Fastest Laps:

Poles, Points, Points Per Race:

​

There's a new column this time - "PPR" or "Points Per Race". Quite simply, the number of points you've scored divided by the number of races you've finished. The best perhaps we can get to understanding where we all fare with each other on talent.

You keep pulling away

EDIT - blown the images up to make them more readable. It's getting unmanageable! If anyone can make it more organised than that into one lump but yet still readable, feel free to edit it up for me.

• After doing a few races today he specs seem okish, slightly drastic, some cars are amazing on straight (can't pass them) but are horrible in the corners (vis versa)

 

[mrbrendon999]

Getting called Alien, Maniac, Crazy, another Rolo, and annoying a lot at the moment, yet I can't figure out why

Yep that's about normal for the BTCC specs. Usually a car that's really fast around the bends is slower down the straight which enables the poor handling cars a chance to catch up. 👍 Getting a perfect balance is damn near impossible, but hopefully we can match the cars nicely following testing and have a cracking season.

Rolo - Love the PPR stats, really good to see where we all fit. 👍 I just wish that I was a bit higher.

 

[SkengD]

PPR stat is nice but some of the guys we will never beat because they will probably never return to the series .

I'm finally equal with Rolo on race finishes now

Hey Lozza , I tried the delete game data and re install and the game actually allowed me to oil change a 207 now .

So fingers crossed when your in the lounge next time I will be able to see the bonnet on your car and not your drivers legs.

Nice one, glad that's worked! Looking forward to having a bonnet again! Hopefully it will help with your freezing problems too!

 

[SkengD]

Yeh i hope so too , really dont want to have to buy a new ps3

 

[Hancock]

Well I had another little practice again tonight, tried out Apricot hill for the 1st time and managed a mid 29 but i'm still learning the track so i'm sure I can find some more time, especially in 1st sector... But I cannot for the life of me get the megane to turn in under breaking, maybe it's just with it being FF.

 

[True-blue-8]

bit of change rolo. i'll be driving for DPR as an independent in the nissan. madbean and hurley will be making their own team

they quit dpr O.o?

 

[SkengD]

Todays races count for all time stats ?

Sorry if you answered this before.

 

[canyondrifter]

Just a heads up... My wheel has stopped working so ill be on my controller.. It's going to take me a lil while to get used to it again so please don't be mad if I have an accident or run wide.. Obviously ill try to make sure I'm clean but as my car was set up for the wheel it now lacks front end grip that it used to... Mind you now I have an excuse to get myself a G27... Or perhaps an even better wheel

 

[SkengD]

Interested to see how my ps3 holds up tonight .

I will use a different car each race .

Yeah what's happening with that?

Only the point you get for each race (which will of course be included in your end-of-season tally). Otherwise no.

Seems the team come to a disagreement, down to team owner wanting to run the Nissan.
Plus in my mind when team owner places themself as independent, there leaving the team by doing this.

You do have access to a lot of Nissan setups, but we always used new setups on every track we raced.
DolHaus has not got the time to run setups on two cars, what he would need to do.

Your feed back will be missed and I will miss you as a team m8.
I do feel we need to be a team and full focus is needed on the hyundai, not asking for a setup on the Nissan and then alway posting.
I can't drive the hyundai, I can't push it to it's limits, it's slow.

The Nissan just won your heart and you won't let go of it, DolHaus just don't want the stress of having two cars to setup.

For the good of DPR I think it maybe a good idea you pm DolHaus and he may try and help you out in the Nissan with setups.

I also feel the Hyundai may need a 10kg weight drop or the Nissan back to 1450.
I will know more and so will Rolo from the pre-season racers.

I wish you all the best m8 and I hope you win, think Hurleyman will be trying to beat you.
Me well you know me fighting it out in mid pack somewhere.
Who knows maybe give it a week everything may of changed again!

Yeah what's happening with that?

Me and hurleyman will be in a new team and team colours, think this will added at the weekend

Hey I love it when your on open mic with the sound of that tin opener going on m8.
can't it be fixed?

I dunno it's the power cable.. I can use all the buttons and the pedals work but without power the wheel just doesn't work... I've changed the fuse and checked the connections but it just won't power up

How old is your wheel? I had this problem and Logitech just sent me a new power cable and transformer.

 

[rolo912011]

Right, True in DPR independent Nissan,

MadBean/hurley in team Hyundais.

Got it.
