Already only 2 days remaining until next race at the Fuji Short Track. Personally I'm not fan of using this layout with high downforce cars. While yes it does speed up the track a little. Because removing the chicane takes out one of the best passing zones on the track. But wasn't my pick. So it is what it is. As mentioned previously. A major storm with heavy wet conditions are expected after about the halfway through the race. Aways hope to see you Saturday.

Yeah, why don't we get a weather forecast for every race? Real life racers get weather forecasts and I thought you liked realism.

Can't forecast what I don't know. The weather for Spa-Francorchamps was not planned. Most of the time I just setup races with all weather slots being random. Unless I really want part of or all of a race wet. Though even with me trying to force the games hand. How the weather systems act are still pretty unpredictable. I have had entire weather systems miss the track before. Also the portions of the races I don't have setup. Are usually still random. So the game itself could make the beginning of Fuji wet as well.

Hey guys just over a day until our race at the Fuji Short Track. I realized I never mentioned yet that we are off next week for Mother's Day weekend. Which according to my Canada and Mexico celebrate it along with the US. We currently no Mexico flags but, we do have Canadians to confirm it. After the break we return to Watkins Glen to run the short track. And then after that will be another 1 week break for Memorial Day weekend in the US. And for the 3 big races that take place that weekend.

Race night guys. Lobby opens in a few hours. See you soon.

I may miss qualifying tonight, what time do you reckon the race will start?

 

[Cold Warrior]

I may miss qualifying tonight, what time do you reckon the race will start?

Well I always intend start at 8:45 pm Eastern. Though I do consider the time of day reset and grid setup part of the race procedure.

But unfortunately then we a last minute new comer. So I have waste time helping them prepare. And then I at least try to give them a few laps. So they have a least some understanding of how their car drives and are not danger to the rest of field.

If I am going to show up late you can be rest assured that I won't need extra help or practice laps.

Drivers Scoring

After flaws discovered with the Catch-up system last season. I'm going back to the old miss forgiveness policy method. Only your best of 13 (75%) race scores out of the 17 scheduled races will be scored for the drivers championship. After the 13 race have been started and scored by an individual driver. The driver will have to best previous scores to improve their standing in the drivers championship. And will only receive the amount of points they bet the previous score by. Drivers however can still earn full points for the manufacturers championship.
