Very quiet here! So, are we all busy with tuning for Laguna Seca? And what times do you guys get?
I saw that a few people were complaining about the lag last Saturday. Was it really that bad? And was it the complete race that bad? I want to know so maybe we can try a 'normal' lobby for a change...

I've been running 1:28's on hard tires. Those are probably terrible times. Lol. I will probably go lower after more practice.
There was some lag on a couple of cars. Not sure if switching rooms would help or not. The pace lap and passing someone is where it becomes a serious problem. Not sure we will ever escape lag problems.
These fill in drivers really need to be watched. One guy last week didn't have medium racing tires and another guy wrecked and just pulled out onto the track and EFJ had no where to go. Seems like these people are not reading the rules nor are they familiar with common racing courtesy. We can't have people coming in and ruining our regular drivers races. I think most of us look forward to these races every week and to have it ruined on the first lap sucks. Im not sure some of them should be let back in.

Why don't you do a mid-week practise session with a few mini races on the track were going to do at the weekend and any new or ad-hot drivers must attended this if they want to race at the weekend.
Regular driver wouldn't have to attend but it would a good place to find out what times everyones doing and tune up there cars.
Just an idea

I love that idea its just impossible to get the fill in drivers there. You'd think you could trust these gu to some extent. They say they've read the rules but they get on the track and you can see they are not really ready for this kind of racing. Some of the fill in drivers are guys from last season and obviously they are perfectly fine. Yes I'm talking about you Tat. Lol

^ Thanx Tat, but the credits have to go to JT and Goruk for the new tyres an penalty weight rules! 
I agree that they make the races much more interesting. It really matters now what tyres you choose, and most important, when you change them.
I also think it wasn't a success with the ad hoc drivers on the track last race. People really need to tune their car and practice with all tyres before participating in the race. So it seems to be very difficult to get that full grid with all serious drivers...
But when I see Laguna Seca it isn't so bad not having a full grid this time. Overtaking will be very difficult on that small track with those weird corners!

Not to change the subject or anything but we have a Special Stage to figure out. Unless its been figured out and I didn't know about it. Last season we did the NA SS on a user created track. S4Rings created an awesome track (call Mini Suzuka) and shared it on his profile. We all downloaded it and got plenty of practice before our race. I know you guys did the Top Gear track and I heard that was fun too. I don't care which way we do it but I'm going to post how we did ours so its out there for everyone to see.
We had 7 heat races that were 5 laps each. Qualifying was held at the beginning for the first race then reverse grid order after that. This gives everyone a chance to start at the front. Someone has to write down the finishing order for each race. At the end you given points based on your average finishing position. Obviously a responsible, intelligent person would be chosen to keep track of these things. Last year our points system got really screwed up, this year would be better.
Damage: Low
The damage is on low so we could really get after it! After racing with heavy damage for so long we were all very respectful of each other but the aggression was higher. Like old school touring car shoot-outs. Was there a few incidents? Yes there were. But there were 7 races. And no matter what position you were in, you were always racing hard as hell to pick up one more spot cause you didn't have time to wait. Also my vote would be for soft racing tires the whole time. Now we could set the race timer to start a race every 10 minutes.
I will have the track shared on my profile so everyone can come download it. The track by the way, is perfect. It has awesome flow and one extremely tricky corner that is always on your mind. Lap times are in the 1:15 range. I'll be honest, I told S4Rings I did not like this track at first. But the more laps I did, and when I got my transmission set correctly, I fell in love with it. I think you guys will too.
That's all I got. Whatever we end up doing is totally fine with me.

I didn't get to do the 1 on 1 so either way is cool with me too.
