FRL~INDYCAR~ Plux Runs Out Of Fuel.... After He Takes The Chequers At The Motegi 300!Finished

[JakobNascar88]

I would like to do the Indy 500. The color is dark blue. My number is 96.

 

[Furinkazen]

Alright guys, here is the drill for Indianapolis 500 week.


FRL INDIANAPOLIS 500 QUALIFYING
After the CHEVROLET GRAND PRIX OF INDIANAPOLIS, The top #12 in pts will be locked in and the remaining 4 spots will be qualified in on speed. Note this will be 3 spots if I am in the danger zone - it has been suggested to me in PM by some that I should get a guaranteed spot as host.

These "danger zone" drivers I will know for Monday. They may qualify anytime during the week. All that is required is 2 drivers including 1 from another team to be present in the lobby.

Lobby settings will be usual race settings, with 6 laps being set on the lap counter, from a grid start. Lap #1 is to bring you up to pace, with #2, #3, #4, and #5 counting as laps. Lap #6 is a warmdown lap. The average across all 4 laps will be used as your time. Should you fail to complete a lap / wreck, you will have a +1 second penalty applied to your time per lap (this is to prevent people posting potentially 1 or 2 blinders and then stacking it in the wall on purpose to prevent there average from rising). Note that you may only attempt Qualifying once through the week - no re-runs permitted.

The Qualifying deadline is 7pm BST 22nd June - basically when room opens for the FRL INDIANAPOLIS 500. However as a bonus, 5 points will be awarded to people who attempt to qualify but do not make the race.

[cnd01]

For the lights race, is that open qualy?

 

[SagarisGTB]

Was hoping to do this weekend's race as a warm-up for the 500, but it turns out I have father's day plans. I guess I'll have to try to qualify with no competitive running in the car.

 

[RedPartyhat]

I likely won't be on for the Indy Road

 

[cnd01]

I probably can make Indy Road.

I imagine I'll still have to do the Indy 500 Qualyfing run for where I'll be starting on the grid then. As for the Indy Lights event, that's on the 21st, right?

Was hoping to do this weekend's race as a warm-up for the 500, but it turns out I have father's day plans. I guess I'll have to try to qualify with no competitive running in the car.

Fingers crossed I'll be off Sunday for not only catching the finish pf the Le Mans race, but taking part in the Indy GP as well.

 

[Furinkazen]

Lights event probably won't need Quali - I don't think everyone who normally races would be available at late nights.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I might be able to do the lights race.

 

[Furinkazen]

Lights are going to be very drafty. Around 155mph solo, gain a lot in draft. Oh and we will run them on SH tyres.

 

[MatheusBond]

I can definitely do the Lights race.

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Are we doing a parade lap to warm up the tyres before the standing start this weekend?

 

[Matty]

I'm in favor but it won't happen I'd say.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm in favor but it won't happen I'd say.

Anyone else in favour of this?

 

[Roflwaffle]

Yup.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Anyone else in favour of this?

I vote for standing start with lights, no warm up

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I vote for standing start with lights, no warm up

You sure about that? If you're on pole then that's a lot of cars behind you on cold tyres likely to lock up and collect you into turn 1

 

[Roflwaffle]

FTFY

 

[Spurgy 777]

I would hope no one here is that incapable of being sensible.

 

[MatheusBond]

I thought the tyres already started warm on GT6?

 

[cgr-10]

Standing starts with pace laps are great; I think they require more skill as you can easily false start and get penalised or you can be too cautious and lose time/spaces, whereas with a normal start, everyone gets off at the same speed regardless.

 

[Ninners]

I can do lights

You sure about that? If you're on pole then that's a lot of cars behind you on cold tyres likely to lock up and collect you into turn 1

He won't even be on pole this time.

 

[Akmuq]

They have lights now anyway so it's the same just without going round for a pace lap.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Pace laps are fun anyway.

 

[Ninners]

I've led too many pace laps.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Cautions are fun as well.

 

[Ninners]

The last time I was in a caution I got rear ended and got damage.

 

[Spurgy 777]

I've led too many pace laps.

You haven't led any this season

 

[Ninners]

You haven't led any this season

Led in other series though.

 

[Furinkazen]

You haven't led any this season

Can I have them please?
