PB- Thats always the way with tuning, especially with race cars. With Fuji you can drive yourself mad tuning for the sweeping corners then losing out on the first/last corner and chicane and vice versa

 

[Rich S]

What are the corner rules for Fuji? keep atleast 2 wheels on the red/white kerbing, or use runoff?

I believe this is going to be extremely tough to steward, seeing as how there's corner cutting opportunities at nearly every bend. Grass edge tracks are by far the best....

 

[berty1979]

Corner rules are the same as they always are, 2 wheels on the track at all times and the track is designated the track road and kerbs inclusivley. Run offs will be policed accordingly, one or two mistakes are ok but after that you are going into penalty territory 👍

oh heavens

I love this video! Its impossible to be sad while watching it!

I give up on trying to get any more speed out of the damn car, I cant get better than a high 1.11 with a full tank
Hopefully will have time to work on a solid strat tomorrow, looking forward to this race
Stewards will be completed tomorrow night for sure, I got 2 more drivers to check and one incident that I am not sure about.

Well I seem to be off the pace by 2 secs. Have to practice I guess. 15 mins wasn't enough.

 

[berty1979]

This time I have practised, cant rest on my laurels. Its going to be a close call at Nurb

Your times seem a bit quick. I'm off. Your not making up those times?

 

[berty1979]

No, I my joke sometimes but I dont make lap times up. hey are not that quick, I have heard rumours of a 1.10.xxx but assume thats with low fuel. You dont trust me much do you?

 

[Spurgy 777]

My 1.10 wasnt on low fuel Brett, was just a very lucky lap Probably will do an early 1.11, maybe a late 1.10 in quali if I push.

 

[berty1979]

I think you did that in my lounge come to think of it.

 

[Pagey279]

I'm baffled I practiced for this race a few weeks ago, when we were going to do it but the series got postponed, and I could get mid 1.10s on a full tank.
But after the update with the same setup, driving in the same style I couldn't go faster than a 1.12.1.

 

[Ellis]

cars seem to be slower post update

 

[berty1979]

I think the cars handle a bit differently, I was slower at Monaco for sure. 1.11 is still amazing if you can keep it up.
Good news, I have finished stewards report. It will be in the OP within 20 mins

 

[Pagey279]

Ooooo the suspense

 

[Ellis]

I think they ate slower marginally on the straights as well according to the drag racing forum

 

[Pagey279]

Yeah i've had to do some pretty wacky things to my gear ratios

 

[ETID]

Check it out. I'm gonna do a lets play of OpenTTD. Also some Age of Empires or Minecraft.

 

[berty1979]

I need pagey to respond to me before I can publish! I am poised

 

[Spurgy 777]

Youll be waiting a while I think hes gone to work

 

[berty1979]

Ok the stewards is published in the OP, all point penalties have been applied.
Etid- Sorry I dont have a lap number for your incident, if you cant remember it ill ask the steward for it. It was either minor or you waited.
Enjoy

 

[Pagey279]

Huh? I was told we were allowed to use the track on pit exit as long as people weren't coming up behind, and that we were only supposed to use the narrow one when there was traffic. Its not even in the rule section, i can't follow a rule when i don't know its there and when im told otherwise.

 

[berty1979]

Nope, that was the touring cars last night and during practice. I think you used it in your first pit and everyone else knew (except smart heart). I mentioned it before the race too.

 

[Ellis]

It was mentioned on a few instances. If me and ferg followed it, it had to be done

 

[Pagey279]

Can i make a suggestion to actually put it in the rule section, perhaps make a track specific section? So people are 100% sure on what rules apply where.

It will save confusion, as how can someone abide by a rule they don't know is in force?

And mentioning it on a few occasions doesn't automatically mean everyone knows its there

 

[Ellis]

When it was said in the race lobby itself would lead me to a fair presumption like that.

 

[Pagey279]

So are present at your playstation every second in the race lobby and are listening to every word that is being said? Bearing in mind we all know there is the usual communication problems.

It also does not detract from the fact it isnt in the official rule section.

All im trying to do is clear up the rule process, and i will say again, how can someone abide by a rule when they don't know its in force?
Saying something 20 minutes before the race does not mean everyone will know, smart heart was there in the race lobby, yet he didn't know

It's four points man, take it on the chin and terrorise at Fuji and Nurbo
