GTP_WRS-Online: GTP Sport Races

[Windfire1010]

yes

 

[StigsTC]

No for WW, but yes for NA slot.
What kind of test would it be without some notoriously laggy Australians trying to break the room?

Old news, we had @mcsqueegy last night

 

[GTP_Nail]

I count 7 + me Confirmed for Sat WW, and 4 reserves/maybe's.

Based on the public room practice tonight, I think we'll be in for some "Adventures in Babysitting" for the online system, hence this being a test. Be prepared to waste 2-3 hours - Restarts may have to happen, and we may switch to friendly sprint races if need be.

Room(s) will open 1hr before race start. Practice times there will set the Grid Order.

If we have 2 rooms, the Time Trial splits at http://wrs.gtplanet.net will dictate the room splits.


We also want to try our GT6 starting procedure: Grid Start, everyone starts the formation lap slowly to avoid hitting racers stuck on the grid.
If you get stuck on the grid, please exit the race. We'll try 1 restart after you Clear Cache in Options->Network and rejoin.

Spoiler: GT6 Formation Lap

Formation Lap

• After the qualification time is complete a steward will record the results.
• The system will place all drivers on the grid and begin the countdown timer.
• Drivers should remain stopped on the grid after the countdown timer.
• A steward will announce the starting order and drivers should proceed into a staggered formation in the order called.
• Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track and other drivers will alternate sides.
• There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
• Speed limit on formation lap is 62 mph | 100 km/h and pole sitter should maintain this speed (or less) to keep pack together, in particular in the final sector.
• Weaving or other tire warming procedures are NOT allowed during the formation lap.
• Pole sitter will exit the last corner and take care to give enough time to allow all cars behind to safely exit the final corner.
• Start marker is the start/finish line.
• The pole sitter should start the race by accelerating to race pace at the identified start marker (track specific and may or may not be the start/finish line).
• All other drivers should accelerate after the driver in front of you does so.
• No passing is allowed before the start marker.
• Be cautious and courteous in the first turn. Dive bombing will be penalized and will not be tolerated.

So:

26 race laps + 1 formation

[Speedy6543]

Now that was a lot of fun!

Off to the paintshop though.

 

[quentin1974]

a lot of fun that was.

 

[Mr P]

Sorry guys I joined after Kel and had no clue what was happening.. could barely do 2 laps with the fuel on the car and when I tried typing to ask the strategy? the race was started before I could finish typing... anyway I just left
I was after a race with you guys.. not see if I could run a lap on a teaspoon full of fuel

Maybe next time it will be a race and I'll defo take part 👍

 

[mr_lab_rat]

That race was actually possible to go all out and three stop. The difference in speed was about 1s per lap so just about break even vs two stop.

 

[Windfire1010]

That was the most fun I had in a while. Here are the final six laps between me and Pasm.

 

[Mires]

Yes for both wednesday windows - if still place for me ^^

and btw, is it possible to apply livery on courtesy car? or you just gone with stock garage car for the race?

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Courtesy cars are not available for the online races so you will have to use a garage car. Most people had custom liveries for the race.

Most people? All but one yeah.

Congrats on the win Windfire. It looked like a great battle!

Awesome battle and congrats with the win 👍

need to join this races more battles are a lot better than the daily online races

 

[Gravitron]

Great to see 15 get off the S/F line and finish!

Congrats @Windfire1010 and @PASM! The 123MB replay shows your fastest laps in the 1st stint were 0.01 apart.

I was so happy to see @Speedy6543 back that I stepped aside when he came into our battle (@roamer2629)

 

[Sjaak]

Nice picture Lucas,

So in a private lobby the cars will not get a racing number from PD like in the dailyraces.

Good to know.

Yeah Lucas. That was a really weird moment for me. Both cars that were in front of me seemed to just hold back and make space for me to pass.

Fuel Map

 

[Speedy6543]

Fuel Map

Of course but I had a pretty hard time catching up to you two

 

[Gravitron]

Sorry Ron, I knew you would be itching to go fast, but sometimes @MadMax takes over the room when I'm host. :=)

 

[roamer2629]

Yeah Lucas. That was a really weird moment for me. Both cars that were in front of me seemed to just hold back and make space for me to pass.

I was actually making room for Lucas to pass me, never saw you behind him until you thundered through lol
Nice to race among friends again...

I was having a great race sitting behind Lucas and Javier waiting for the last couple of laps when we would take off the gloves....politely of course...when I misread my lap counter and immediately reduced fuel map while trying to figure out why I was almost a lap short. Of course I wasn't...but by the time I had counted on my fingers( and toes) and realized I had grossly OVERTHOUGHT the problem they were outta sight. The racing was GREAT. And....it was an absolute pleasure to race with adults instead of children who need ridalin .

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Started 14th as my quali lap went away as I had to rejoin just before the start. Ended up 4th overall which surprised me. Congrats to Joe getting 3rd and a podium. Stints went 10 , 9 then 8. I pretty much could go all out on the final laps, and passed a few cars on the way.

 

[andrew1990]

Yes for WW, just not these next 2 weeks.

 

[Speedy6543]

Need a break from the roadster.
Practice room for the Lexus is up.
