Probably not. So just to slow him down I might introduce a rule that it's mandatory for Duarte.No, pitting on the first lap is not a good strategy.
I think it was for safety, it was relatively new process for the group, and I think we got lucky with a quickly formed line up, it could have taken longer with a bit of brain fog creeping in. F1 do a whole lap and they are already in the right positions lol. A 100kmh is quite fast for some of us oldies!!I have a question about the formation lap. Is there a specific reason for going under 100km/h in all that lap?
We were already in formation after the 2nd corner, so it felt like we could’ve kept formation while still going at higher speed.
At Hockenheim I think I'll remove the 'no overtaking before the first corner' rule. It's not such a tight turn and there's plenty of run off area - track limits will be off because drivers inevitably run wide there on occasions.
I need a bit more information - when I can accelerate? When car just ahead of me accelerate or when any car in front accelerate?Yes, as Simon says above, it pretty much is for safety reasons. Contact and off track moments can still occur on a formation lap so travelling at those slower speeds can give anyone a chance to catch up. Also it's a good pace to allow you to warm up the tyres a little more. (And it's good for tension building )
Thank you for clearing the mess Paul! A minor glitch in a great racing evening - lots of fun, racing all the way!Results from Hockenheim.

@half_sourly race 3 is slightly more complicated than it appears. The game had a bit of a fit at the start and put Ricardo (RPREGO) a lap behind everyone else. He actually finished 7th and those below should move down 1 slot. Me to 8th, Beach to 9th etc. Rich and Joao (jmpa) also started the race but didn't finish.
Sorry for the confusion!
I don't know what you're talking about.@half_sourly please dont forget to give me and @Zolon32 points for our double finish in the last race. I finished 2nd and 4th, Zolon 3rd and 5th
As long as @half_sourly deducts 30 pts from all cars that aren't black ...Minus 20pts for cheating with two cars, thanks for owning up
Let's add those together and multiply it by 2 (cars). That'll be 12th for that race then?I finished 2nd and 4th
I haven't devised one for on track yet, but my out of game handicap system is at work. It'll give everyone a chance to catch up.unfortunately, I'll have to work late today, so I won't be able to race with you all for this round!
There hasn't as such. For the main series many/some like to practice beforehand so I usually provide a tracklist. I have previously ran some fun Friday evening races where the tracks are randomly generated by the throw of a dice. It can make it interesting!has there been a season where the tracks aren't known in advance of the evening
No worriesThanks muchly @half_sourly. All the typing/clicking/data entering is appreciated. 👍
I like Simon's idea; it would take pressure off the need to practice. You could of course gamble by practicing at specific tracks...There hasn't as such.

I haven't done it for a while. Maybe I could run a few races again if anyone is keen.
Throttle pedal doesn't work too .Very odd! Have you tried pressing your throttle peddle in the lobby @Napalm_LT ? That can act as a R2 button.
Just as a process of elimination - have you tried it with your wheel disconnected from the PS4? That way you only have the buttons on the controller.Throttle pedal doesn't work too
It works with DS4 when wheel is of.Just as a process of elimination - have you tried it with your wheel disconnected from the PS4? That way you only have the buttons on the controller.
