Question: is changing of tyres other than RH considered a legal pit stop strategy (in this particular race)?
 
It will be my first online race. How I would know - car behind me is on the same or upper lap?
You have a leaderboard on the right side of your screen where you can see who is just in front of you and who is just behind you. If a car appears behind you which is not in the list, it'll probably be someone who's about to lap you.
 
Lap times are an epic fail at a 1:20 average with a 1:17 best lap. This is at least 2 seconds slower then I have been. Let's chalk it up to a lack of practice over the last few days.

Could it be that the last update has changed something that would have slowed this car down for me? It's likely me, but it never hurts to ask, right?
1.04 did affect the physics somewhat, so feel free to blame that :)
 
Confirmed for the EU race. I had a quick practice before, and got a few laps of 1'13.6 . Just as the tyres started losing their grip, the car felt much better and had a quick lap of 1'13.197, but went off track the next lap :lol:.
 
Got the T500 back into race mode! I'll give it a whirl in an hour and confirm right after that :)
 
Anyone got some last minute practice lobbies or is it too late? Sorry I've been very busy this week :P

EDIT: Just looked at the rules and I haven't got the criteria for a couple lounge split rules. Does this count me out of the race and if it does I'll understand. If I could know ASAP that'd be great because I can then cancel myself from the race ;)

me too I have been busy I don't have any splits I hope I can still take part.

Guys the rules are setup so that even if you do nothing, you will still get a spot if you're confirmed and you show up. We fall back on your official published handicap if you do nothing.

In this case, you both submitted for the Time Trial, so the handicap you obtained there will be compared with your published handicap, and the lower of the two will determine which room you are in.

You don't need to fulfil all the alternatives for lounge splits. If you are in the registry and thus have a handicap, you can qualify for lounge split with that handicap.

The other alternatives are used if you have achieved a better handicap in last weeks TT, or if you haven't run the TT but think you can achieve a better handicap with a fast enough offline or online lap.
