GTP WRS-Online : Special Event III - Spa Mixed Class Enduro - Mar 25

[TheBook]

Will the time taken to get the fields ready and in order plus formation laps be added onto the time taken, or will that be included in race time?

That's a good question.

I'd say that since it's hard to remember at exactly what second your race actually started, racing for 2:30.000 including 2 formationlaps should do the job just great. 👍

Luckily I finished my quali in time as, all of a sudden, the fog came up.

To make it easy we are just going by the on screen race clock so yes the time take for formation will count toward the 2.4 hours. The race will end when the lead car first passes the finish line after 2:24 on the race clock.

For the enduro we are not going to have the GT cars "lap" the LMP so there will only be one formation lap. It's close enough that we'll just count it and not bother adding extra minutes to account.

Everyone just take that into account now and no complaining after the race that you would have passed x or y in the last 2 minutes. If that doesn't please you timing nuts then you can just call it the 2.3 hour enduro and add the 6 minutes for yourself.

Great explanation, thanks. 👍

Who's left to quali?

Eddie is at work now, and if deadline is in 5-6ish hours, I think he'll have a hard time to make the deadline..

When is deadline btw?
I know it's 23.59 PM (PST), but since you're already in daylightsavings and what not, I have a hard time fighuring out how far away from deadline we are exactly.

 

[CSLACR]

4.5 hours from this post.
I think Eddie might get off before the deadline, but I dunno about a host being available that late.

If he can make it in the lounge by 11:59 I think Lucas can watch if not I'll try to do it.

He is the only one left. He is in LMP in any case. Or late quali will put him in B for GT.

 

[Gravitron]

Can do. 👍

 

[Denilson]

Will the GT quali results be up at midnight PST sharp, or do we have to wait for late qualifyers to submit times as well?

I'm not trying to stress you guys.. I'm just so eiger to find out how good/bad my lap was..

 

[Ren-Tec]

Stop worrying Denilson im sure your time is great!!

 

[Denilson]

Stop worrying Denilson im sure your time is great!!

No, it's not.. But decent.. And I'm not that worried.. It's just that it's a really nice feature by the 3D3 guys to hold on the quali results.. Gets my nerves going.. But it's all good.

Race is long enough to erase any importance of the grid position, apart from the fact that you'll have traffic ahead of you initially. So not that bothered really.. Just want to know, you know.

 

[WRP001]

We will release GT quali results at 11:59 unless Wardez is on track in which case we will publish when he's done.

It's all formatted and ready to go pending one more time entry.

After 11:59 registration is closed except reserves who can fill in for cancels.

 

[EDK]

My tune for the Corvette for anyone interested.

Aero = Max

RH 0/0 (I tried 1/0, but I don't trust it on worn tires. It IS faster)
Springs 11.0/8/0
Damp Ext 8/8
Damp Comp 4/4
ARB 4/7
Camber 2.2/1.2
Toe 0/-0.12

LSD 7/15/15

Brakes 4/6

Gears

Final Far Right
Top Speed Far Left

Set these

2829
2123
1696
1389
1178
1021

Final = 3114

3rd gear is sufficient for most of the medium speed turns. I may blip into 2nd for turn in, but back into 3rd on throttle. 1st gear for turn 1 and the last chicane.

 

[OZ]

Thanks Kevin, I will test this, to see if it helps with my tire wear.👍

 

[Denilson]

Looking at the tunes posted, I use similar settings..
BUT, 1 thing that defenetly separates the posted ones from mine is the difference in COM and EXT on the dampers.

But that actually makes sence since I had some trouble with my rear in the slow corners.

The LSD is also different, but I'm sticking to the good old 5/20/5 setting. 👍

Oh, btw, I've not seen anything that says I can't publish my quali time.
Is that more of an unwritten rule kind of thing, or is it in fact a stated rule?

It's not like I'm going to post my quali time either way, but I fighured it could be good to know for future events to prevent my fingers from slipping.

 

[Allibubba99]

Thanks Kevin, ran about 20 laps tonight, it suites me nicely

[Gravitron]

Hanging out in the GTP_3D3Racing lounge until the deadline (37min from now) in case Wardez shows up.

We didn't really make a hard and fast rule for this event so you won't get in trouble for posting, but we thought it would be fun just to release them all at the deadline. Also doesn't give the last few runners an advantage -- especially given we are splitting lounges based on quali time. Knowing the A/B cutoff could really make a difference in your strategy if you are one of the last few to qualify and thus discourage people from qualifying early (which is easier on the admins).

In a future event we may decide to make a rule similar to the WRS time trials:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods):

• Lap time
• Any information which can be used to infer laptime

At this point it looks like the full quali results we be up in 15 minutes. It's been a long day. I think my PSN account was logged into the lobby for 17 hours today.

 

[Denilson]

Thanks Tim. I agree it's a fun and fair element of the quali procedure. 👍

No Eddie around?

 

[WRP001]

No Eddie, but we waited for him until the deadline.

Here are the final quali results for GT. Congratz on overall pole position for the GT Class Dennis:

Note that mcfizzle and ty (highlighted in red) are not running GT class in the enduro on Sunday, but have qualifying times for the GT class which will apply should they choose to drive GT class cars on Saturday in the support races.

We'll sort out the implications for the lounges and exact placement tomorrow, but for now the admins need some well deserved sleep.

 

[Denilson]

Well done Admins! 👍

Really surprised I got pole.. But I'm happy beeing overtaken on Kemmel Straight!

 

[millross]

Thanks to the admins for sticking around all day for those like me who qualified fairly late on. You guys must be pretty tired, enjoy the sleep! I've qualified, gone to bed and had 7 hours kip and got up and you're STILL on here doing stuff for the race!

Congrats on GT pole Denilson - some fast times for just the 2 high-pressure laps. I'm quite happy with 7th, although I'm not sure if that means I'll make the A race and subsequently trundle around in last place for most of it!

 

[Biffy]

Well done Dennis, good job 👍 Looks like I got 2 out of 3 right

Well done to Ren-tec as well, beat me just by a few thousandths, should be a great race with Pekka and Speedy just behind us ready to get in the mix

 

[Wardez]

I completely and utterly failed. Not being very thorough at all I assumed deadline was Friday night. Really no excuse, I just didn't pay enough mind to it and slipped up, pretty embarrassing.

But, well... I'm fine in sticking with the LMP in room B. That is if I'm officially added to the registry in time, which is looking grim at this point.

But hey, two Pure members on pole for both classes, doesn't get much better than that at this point. Good job guys, very proud.

 

[paulmac2k9]

6th phew but 14.0 was slow for me after quali I went out and set a 2:13.6 then a 2:13.4 (I think) So the chase is on .

 

[DDiamond]

Congrats to all qualifiers for Saturday and Sunday! Have fun!
