Well that's online racing .....
Thanks to Oni for the special mention
I had only done 2 laps before the qualifying session and so my gear ratios were not as I would have liked them to be (barely using 6th).
With more time I would have had a better strategy but hopefully I can go better next week.
I was ruing my little mistakes, mainly trying to find the best breaking point into turn 1 (as you all found out at the first start SORRY ) and the schumacher S which has a terrible bump as you are turning in and if you get the entry wrong, then you go off.
Had a few great battles on track, most memorably with jasr in the Viper. He would reel me in but I made the lambo very wide and he only got his nose in once or twice. Luckily the 4WD out of the corners made sure he didn't get a better look in down the straights.
Unfortunately due to this battle and my lack of strategy I forgot to check my fuel gauge and ran out with 3-4 laps remaining. Still I pushed on and managed to catch mick by the last corner and went over the line almost side by side.
Disappointed to be the last finisher as I was on track for 11th but happy to be a finisher.
Here's hoping my wheel and stand arrive this week, as long controller races are very taxing on the fingers.
Take a look at the front page of this thread Hats. Click on the "Race Results" Banner - there you will find all manner of interesting facts and insights prepared by our data master in residence - Dr Cactus of CAC Productions.Also, where can I find the number of laps for each race that we are doing?

I just took a closer look at the tyre rules and I think I messed up not sure if you need to penalise me as I am pretty sure I used more than 2 sets of mediums.
Not a problem mate its your first time in the series and you had very little time to get it all together for round 1. As you didn't gain anything we wont penalize you. Just remember there is a window of leniency when it comes to getting damage on a fresh set of tyres just be prepared for round 2 and onwards.
Also what happens if you pit many times and have no sets left?
What is the exact amount of laps allowed if you have to pit for damage soon after pitting for tyres without 'using' one of your sets?

We allow 4 laps of leniency for damage on a new set of tyres. So for example you put on your new shiny set of mediums and you get damage on the 2nd lap out on these mediums then you can pit to fix the damage without using your tyre set. After 4 laps if you pit to fix damage it counts as a used set.
Is this where I admit that I didn't know this? lol
Lol.. and you call yourself a steward. But yes it has been an unspoken rule since ORS was formed.
