You going for the, urm...Quadruple, James?
From the pace in todays events, you could well be on course for it, unless Bart has some tricks up his sleeve
I think there should be some sort of prize for that, lol!
Bart won 3 of 4 in Greatest Hits Vol 2... Wes won the fourth race. 4 of 4 hasn't been done yet and it won't be easy.

I've been struggling with Colorful Conceptii mightily and getting frustrated seeing the times guys are running... only to discover tonight that I never installed the weight reductions. Dropping from 1520 kg to 1236 kg should help.

Weight reductions??? Guess I should have done some more homework too! I should be able to drop some healthy seconds from my time. Wish I could run the times in traffic....

Definitely helped but not sure I'm running competitive times so not sure if I should enter....I'm enjoying my racing but getting a bit frustrated always pulling up the rear. Overall I think I'm improving but for individual races I'm coming up short.

Awesome! Glad you're doing better. Sooooo... my races just got more difficult, but also much more fun. 👍

Make sure you are at 497 PP (356 HP & 1236 kg). Make sure you have the drive train upgrades (clutch, etc) which don't impact PP, but make you faster.
After the weight reduction I ran a 1'21.793 in a test qualification run which means hammering the tires for all their worth. I left a few tenths on the track to be sure as the lap was good, but not great. I have next to no practice other than tonight for about 30 laps so i don't know how that stacks up... but a lot better than the times I was running before weight reductions.
I ended up just installing the tune from MadMax with is linked in the details post. I don't have time to do any tweaking. No idea at all about tire wear... but it looks like 3.1 L per lap so I'll have to add about 35L of fuel give or take a couple depending on my desperation during the race.

I've installed everything now and the car is broken in thanks to BOB. I only had time for about 10 laps. I'm only running 1'25s. Like I said before, I'd rather not get in the way. Maybe I should just watch tomorrow and try to pick up some tips.

Keep racing Scott, it's the only way to get better. I know it can be frustrating but you have to set goals for improvement that aren't based on finishing position. Set goals like an entire race without an off, consecutive laps within a tenth or two for consistency, faster lap times as the race goes on. You will see improvements and get better with time. I remember a driver who was struggling and finishing back of the pack who remarked how he knew he was getting better because the finishing gap from first to him was getting smaller and smaller each race and how excited he was about that. He's very competitive now.👍

I appreciate the encouragement. Today was the first race that I felt like dropping out of....but I didn't. Just worked on my lines on my own at the back and challenged some different lines. My bad for not remembering which button I configured for reverse putting me back even further. 👎 Got that issue sorted now!
Anyhow, what the heck, guess I'll jump in as long as family requirements don't pop up tomorrow morning.
Thanks Scott.

Good to hear you're feeling better 👍 Managed to get a good nap today myself, so I should be able to stay up for Conceptii. Was feeling utterly trashed after the two races this morning.

Can i ask when will be open the room(and which one) for warm up today? (conceptii/deepforest) and if iam correct, the qualification start 15:00GMT, and we will start with formation lap? Thx

The room should open about an hour before start of qualification(3.5hrs from now) and as there are 12 registered(including reserves) we will be in the main lounge (GTP_3D3Racing). If there is a change in which lounge we use it will be posted in here.
Yes there will be a formation lap.

I'm up early... the main lounge (GTP_3D3Racing) is open for Colorful Conceptii now. I'll be AFK for a while to grab a coffee and breakfast.
A couple stewards notes for today.
First, on qualifying, we do not allow drafting during quali so create a gap to the driver in front of you on your out-lap from the pits. Establish this gap *early* in the out-lap (very early and if possible by turn 1). DO NOT follow someone closely for half the lap and then slow down in the final sector. That creates an accordion affect throughout the field, especially when we are on longer tracks where 10-12 are on track at once. You should be taking the final sectors at near race pace to warm tires anyway and all drivers expect to do the same. So use the early part of the lap to establish a gap and then get up to "near" race pace. If we all do the same it goes very smooth.
Second, we always welcome drivers of all pace, but we do observe the blue flag rule. If you are a few seconds off the pace please join us, but you are responsible for track awareness, and at a short track like DFW you are likely to be lapped before the end of the race. If/when the leaders (or any lead lap cars) come up to lap you, you must not defend your position and must observe the blue flag and move over according to the OLR:
Map your rear view button and use it to identify cars that are approaching from behind you (the mirror will not show the name).
See you on track shortly! Good luck.

Sorry about the crash today... collected Baron among others... I tried to get out of the way and n0ize also got impacted. I pitted and then was looking at 33 laps by myself so just parked. Had no consistent car control this morning starting from the first lap really. I'm fried and going to skip the suzuka race tonight. I haven't done even a single lap of practice and I need a break. Good luck.

thank you guys for the race, as im waiting i was the slowest guy (div4-5 rulez 
),
But i really try to observe about the blue flag rules, and i did my best.
I could keep my pace, with 1mistake.
This fuel consemption was really tricky, i ve never played with this fast variaton.
(which means for me 1more pit)
But now its time to find some rookie champion
Ps.
I couldnt see all of the races in the calender, especially the rookie ones... (it was something in Spa, yesterday) sorry maybe iam a lamer. Thx in advance again the information.

Vincent,
Here is the link. Wish I could have been there this morning, as we could have probably raced at a Div 4/5 pace. :-)

Put your questions in that thread instead of this one. One of the Race Admins should be able to give an update.
