CLOSED SERIES

[swiftsmith]

I have one as well. If you'd like I can test it during practice or something tomorrow. It used to lag people,& I out of rooms got a new router since the last time I used it.

RULE CLARIFICATION: The rule regarding when pits are open have been clarified to state that when the field starts their first full caution lap (based on race leader), pits open. There had been mistranslation on my end and it led to confusion in FP4 this afternoon.

NOTE: I posted a statement from Hardy on deviantART that I feel everyone can read and be happy for. I echo his comments and wish everyone a blessed, Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Pole Day Qualifying is available today and tomorrow!

What time(s) is the track open for qualifying? How many attempts do you get (presuming one)?

Tonight is 4-8 p.m. EST. One attempt

 

[AGNT009]

Can we please get an audible callout EVERY caution for when pits are open and closed from the race official?

 

[Eva]

Pole Qualifying is almost over. In 3 hours Pole Qualifying officially ends.

 

[swiftsmith]

CRAP!

Pole Qualifying has officially ended. Results coming soon.

I know how you feel. Damn, I didn't got out of work at midnight.

 

[Spirit]

I know I didn't make the top 6 via. PSN message. I thought I'd be faster to be honest. Can't wait to see the Pole Day results.

We have competition. It will make for the great season starter expected at Indy.

It's hard not to look smug at you guys. All I need to do is a lap time and I'm locked in. But good luck to everyone over these next 3 days. It will be interesting to see who's in, and who's out.

 

[swiftsmith]

Okay so since Alan,& I didn't put in a lap time does that mean we can't compete in any of the bump days?

Alan did set a time. You definitely CAN do Bump Qualifying, in fact it's highly recommended or you won't get points for Qualifying at all.

I hate to be a stickler and an accuser but I have a suspicion that some of the top drivers (Blaney, Cshardy, and Jackolantern) might have qualified on soft tires. 40.2s are barely in reach by some of the fastest drivers in practice and to run that on a medium compound, especially from someone who was barely at practices, is extremely unlikely. I would like to request that those runs are reviewed for tire compound choice. (Also kind of funny how the fastest two are Cherokee drivers when Cshardy was complaining about his car being slow and I never witnessed him do better than a 40.4)

Again, I hate to have to call foul play but I find those times kind of ridiculous.

I was tempted to put this about an hour ago, a tenth and a half over a 4 lap average seems extreme. I have to agree though, seems unnaturally quick given the times I've seen from some extremely quick drivers and teams.

Hardy gave the setup he and Blaney used to me since it was a specifically made qualifying setup, and definitely IS legal. It's very quick, but very abusive on tires. JACKOLANTERN31 was only 5 thousandths ahead of NearFear though.

Fair enough, I suppose congratulations are in order... 👍

I suppose so. Trust me, I don't like congratulating any of Hardy's team, but they have great qualifying pace. We'll see how bad they drop off in race.

I'm exactly the same. Hence why even though I said congratulations are in order, notice I didn't actually congratulate anyone... Curse my ambitious pride...

After I run my bump day sessions could you send a request for Hardy to share it with me as well please? Mainly to soothe my ego, I'll be honest I'm quite a doubtful person. I'm not saying they're cheating explicitly, I just want to affirm their innocence. If I can do that, I apologize to Cherokee and IRG for making accusations which were false.

OK, 2 quick questions:

1) What is the ETA for Bump Day 1 starting please?
2) Anyone else watching WEC?

 

[AGNT009]

What is the exact math equation being used to figure the average? Please post it asap, and it should have been listed already. I wont question the top times, I figured qualifying setups would be used, and opted to run my race setup to see where it landed on the board. Time to put in work.

 

[NinjaEvo]

Lap 1 + Lap 2 + Lap 3 + Lap 4 / 4 = Average

Or at least, this is what I'd guess. If it's something else I'd be very surprised...

L1+L2+L3+L4/4=Average

That's how I think it works, givin how simple an average equation is.

I figured that much, is there any rounding, and where? The decimal is being entered after the minute, right? As in 40.654 + 40.578 + 40.563 + 40.768 = 40.64075 (number not rounded)
