I'm assuming by the previous races this will be live streamed again?
You bet! Assuming Speedy doesn't run into any unforeseen issues he'll be streaming lounge A live here:
http://www.twitch.tv/speedy6543/
Note also that Speedy isn't driving so he will be feeding video from the "watch race" mode and he'll be able to switch between drivers and also stream the live timing monitor at times in the race. The live timing monitor will be interesting to watch during quali.
Note that twitch also has a chat function so people watching the feed can have their own discussions. I think you need to sign up for an account at twitch.tv to chat, but that's no big deal. When I miss a WRS race I usually watch the feed and chat with whoever else is watching.
Good luck everyone! Only 13 hours away now... Can't wait.
A couple last minute notes...
At this point the Google form is no longer accepting responses. If you have a last minute emergency/cancel please post to this thread. There is a reserve for team WRS that will be driving in pre-race, but as far as I know no reserves are available for Orca. If one reserve does materialize they are welcome to join lounge B for pre-race practice just in case.
If one team
starts the event down a single driver the other team will only score points from their top 5 of 6 drivers and we'll shuffle if necessary to make sure Lounge A is full (move up a driver, etc). The team with a full house will effectively get a mulligan and their lowest scoring driver won't count. If a team is missing two drivers than they just forfeit the points. A DC after the race start does not count as a missing driver.
If anyone DC's during the race that driver will get points for last place. If more than one person DC then the one that completes more laps will get the extra position/points. If you DC during quali before your first hot lap you can return to the lounge once and try again. If you DC after your first hot lap is complete you can use that lap time and will not get another chance to qualify. After the 2nd DC we'll have to give up and give your spot to a reserve or just go a driver short. We are on a tight schedule and we aren't going to delay the start very long. Again, show up early and work out any network issues pre-race. It's your risk if you show up last minute.
If you do DC during Race 1 you are welcome to rejoin for Round 2 and try again of course (in lobby B). I would suggest you just wait outside the lounge and watch the thread for updates. We'll post a message when round 1 is complete and you can join at that point. It's better not to join the lounge in the middle of the race and distract the drivers. You can also watch the feed above if you want to know what's going on.
Enjoy yourselves, drive clean and represent your series well tomorrow. 👍
Also, please reread the
details post above one time before the race... you'll know the rules and procedures and this will make things easier on all of us.
