I thought the handicap levels were fine.. it was just tough. But a great race because of it. End of the day I still ended up with the equal most points of the day, thanks to having the lowest penalty level (5th) in R3.

As I say, the calendar is more handling and less straight, so I don't think the effect would be as marked as it was at Fuji.

People always need to drive to the conditions, and if the handicapped drivers are slower out of bends then give them the grace on exit if possible.

 

[ROB 256R]

True. I think they were ok too but just thinking of others. I didn't feel the speed differentials in the corners or on exit were that different.

 

[ROB 256R]

Only problem I could maybe see with a non-reverse grid for R3; with the guys towards the front having incrementally less hp I think it could cause some serious bunching up into turn 1. The top 6 or 7 in all probability could reach the first corner all at the same time on the opening lap. Do we want to create that kind of situation? Obviously it depends on the distance to turn 1 but ...

Sorry I haven't been around much in the last few weeks - had rather a lot of stuff on recently and completely forgot about the Honda Cup...

Hopefully will be around next Thursday for any more of the tests we have!

 

[azidahaka]

next week we start, and i'm waiting for rolo to announce the track.... now!

I think that on the handling tracks, the slower drivers may still struggle to keep up with the faster drivers even with the PP restrictions, so for that reason I would keep the reverse grid. Perhaps we should test at Autumn Ring too, as I feel that the PP difference won't be as effective there.

I can do Monday, but we need a fair few of us.... Anyone else?

Laguna sounds interesting, should be a tough track with the FF's.

Karsten - I've finally seen the video, thank you very much for posting it especially as I got disconnected from that race and couldn't save my own replay. I loved the shot that you got of my exit of the lobby...my car just vanished. Keep 'em coming. 👍

Skeng, sorry I didn't get back to you!
I can announce the team here (and I'll PM you the Colours).

I'm pleased to announce that myself and Skeng are under the "Monster Humberside Racing" Team Name.

Stay tuned for some pictures of the cars!

 

[rolo912011]

I'm gonna switch my car to yellow, add a bit more variety of colour to the grid.

There's a test session on Monday to evaluate the effects of a PP handicap on a more handling based track. The first official round is on Thursday 10th. All the info you need is in the OP.

 

[Alexd1345]

Good. It fits my schedule. I will be able to go.

 

[rolo912011]

My lounge will be open for some running in a few minutes.

EDIT: Lounge now open and ready.

 

[SkengD]
