@Sven Jurgens joined my Renault Sport Trophy series last night and had some fun I hope. Learned some things but we also run a formation lap which affects fuel. Pretty much everyone runs it on Fuel Map 6, 7th gear and swerving to warm the tires. It burns some fuel but it also brings the estimated fuel load way up so you can pad it a little bit. Do you plan on running a formation lap with this? The reason we do it is because standing starts are too messy and the game's rolling start is single file but also puts people at weird places at the end of a track. We double up and have a starting zone on the main straight

Not for this one, mate. Given the vast range of skill/interest levels, I'm keeping it as casual as possible. We'll run a standard Sport mode rolling start. It worked pretty well at my Catalunya event, apart from @NoStopN getting sever glitched.

Okay, but you do know that a lot of people will start in the chicane and everyone else will have a better start? That's gonna spread the field out way too much in the first lap

That's awesome, mate.
If you want, you can have a full space. There are currently two available.

Only one issue, buddy. I've just noticed/remembered that Sven is running 74.

I'll change mine. Can I keep the Dajiro Kato tribute on, it has the same number?

Yeah, no worries mate. I run it on a few liveries, too. Probably going to be running it on my car for this race.

I was at fm1, but going in 7th gear. I had no clue about the speed limit or forming up double row at the end, wasn't even sure the race had started in lap 2 so I stuck behind a car for another lap lol. Then I messed up fueling, I had 3.4 laps left or so
Had a lot of fun anyway!

I didn’t really like the formation laps, there was a speed limit but I always had to break it and speed to keep up with the guys ahead and some tracks have more than one finish line so I never knew where to actually start going full bore. I always ended up losing places at the start. I’d rather just the normal rolling start or a standing start. At least everyone starts at the same time that way.

Yea sometimes someone goes a little faster but we all bunch up before the start and there's a designated start zone so the leaders know where they can go green. Sven, no idea why you thought the race wasn't started at Lap 2. Once everyone was at full speed you'd think it was time to go

The car in front of me must have been fuel saving cause he was nowhere near full speed lol. I took it on the safe side.

He was probably fuel saving. Best to read over the first post details before the race just to be sure of everything 👍

Yep I missed that bullet point, read all the rest. I like the rules! Very clear and fair.
It was a good practice session for the Spa race, although how do you think forming up side by side will work through the chicane? Or single file through there? Spa doesn't have much of a start straight. Starts are always difficult but don't really matter in endurance races. Starting in first just means you're the one burning fuel.

Thankfully at Spa the start line and finish line aren't one in the same. So the starting zone for my race next week and any time IRS uses Spa will be from the start line to the finish line.

Spa has an extra set of start grids after La Source, so you start straight down towards Eau Rouge. If standing start that is also a possibility. Although it would demand a sort of signal.

But that removes La Source from the opening lap. That's no fun

I have never tested, but the grids are after La Source

Grid start might work, then. I'll do a little testing this week if I can find a few victims . . sorry, helpers, to help out.
That, or we do a manual rolling start. Again, in keeping with the general theme of things, I'll keep it relaxed. Formation lap, leader sits at 100kph/62mph. No overtaking on lap one. Leader guns it anytime he likes between the bus stop, and Eau Rouge.

Heavy or light damage? If it's light then a standing start is no problem
