Kermit's Super Formula Street Circuit Cup - Finished

[El_Beardo]

Sorted.

I was running low 44s on a full tank when I did initial testing, a few weeks back.

 

[DelboyD]

I need to put my foot down!!

 

[Pigems]

So, we are 10h 45m to race time?

 

[El_Beardo]

I need to put my foot down!!

As long as you're full throttle from The Cutting, to Skyline, you'll do alright.

#### Race Day Notification ####
​

With just under 10 hours until race start for Round 2 at Mount Panorama, I hope everyone has managed to squeeze some practice as I think be in for a show stopper of an event where fast reactions and opportunistic overtakes will be the name of the game.

Race 1
- 7 laps , 22% fuel
- Pre set Grid
- Rolling Start (the in game 1)
- Light Damage
- Safety Car Disabled

Race 2
- 20 laps, 60% fuel
- Grid = result from Race 1
- Manual Rolling Start (1 warm up lap behind Safety Car)
- Heavy Damage
- Safety Car Enabled

Spoiler: Race 1 Grid

New entries have been placed in p1-3, p4 onwards is reverse grid from championship standings.

Procedure Updates
I have updated the Safety Car procedures on page 1 but just a quick reminder of the changes:
- The Safety Car is now optional - If you have enough damage you need to pit for repairs, you must call for a Safety Car. If you wish to continue to race with minor damage then no Safety Car is required.
- Anyone who picks up damage under Safety Car will have to pit under green lights or continue to race with damage. Requests for another Safety Car whilst the Safety Car is out on circuit will be declined.
- Please be mindful of the space around you whilst queuing behind the Safety Car.

I'm hoping I'll be able to open the lobby early for a short practice, and I will also open a party chat.

Good luck to all, have a great race and enjoy the chaos

Time to send it at Griffin's in race 1 then.

I’ve just pumped in a 1:46 on my first hot lap after lunch.
No idea what I was doing earlier.......unless my settings were wrong.

We’re running BOP off with power and weight both at 100?
My max power is 639 and weight is 660.

I think even BoP is 100/100 on this car. 👍

Does anyone know what TOD we are using today?? I know that certain sun angles can really be a problem here for me.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Always mid afternoon 👍

 

[fastone371]

Always mid afternoon 👍

The 12 and sunny or the time after when overcast??

 

[Kermit_2142]

15:30 i think it is.

The sun was giving me grief so I turned it off, much better 👍

Safety Car Procedure

If we get a safety car on the final lap again is that race over or do we race back to the line once it has pitted?

 

[Kermit_2142]

Mmmm I would lean towards the SC wouldn’t pit and end the race in that order. However it could be fun have a quick dash to the line.

What does everyone think??

Έχουμε δωμάτιο open for practice?

Personally, I'd end the race. Roll finishing position back to how they sat when the leader crossed the line, on the penultimate lap.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Good idea @El_Beardo 👍

How do you turn off the sun????

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

How do you turn off the sun????

Set it to night time and the sun goes to bed, you get none of the blinding glare but some corners are harder to see.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Έχουμε δωμάτιο open for practice?

Hopefully around half an hour early. Don’t count on it though

 

[Pigems]

Practice lobby open now, shoot me a friend request(TPC_Pigems), if were not already, to get in.

 

[Jason885]

Hope all goes well with the race later and good luck to all.

 

[El_Beardo]

Haven't had time to make those ToyKing decals. So, I'm recycling a livery for this race.

As close to TOS breaches as I want to get.

I dont think that will help me during the race lobby

I won't get a chance to check until the lobby opens this afternoon but I'm afraid it is that awful time of day when the sun is right in your line of sight turning into one of the early corners while headed uphill.

 

[Kermit_2142]

I need that TPC logo @El_Beardo 👍.

“CornHub” absolute legend, love it.

Would be perfect if you could slap the “Advan” sticker on the main part of the wing where the “feeling corny” is, and bump the “feeling corny” down to the lower part - next race is fine thanks

Done. Didn't read the regs properly, and had the Advan decal on the back of the wing.

Practice lobby open for a short while
