Are all the cars gonna be at 100/100 for weight and power?

As it stands you can assume yes. R5 is the only question mark, you can assume PD BoP for now. Hope that helps... Tyre confirmation to come, I apologize for the delay there.

Give my spot away. Invited to late 4th of July boat party. Sorry bro, but a boat with some babes tops virtual karting.

No worries dude - have fun stay safe ;D

 

[The_Tullster]

I award you one squirrel shaped virtual trophy for being an absolute nutter 😁

I'd better have one of those too, last time we drove karts @ DRWF I used my wheel.

 

[MaxAttack]

The lobby will be opening shortly everyone, I'll be forming a party chat as well, joining voice chat is totally optional of course.

First come first served as there are many reserve entries.

Have fun everyone!

 

[MaxAttack]

Thanks for coming out everyone! I hope everyone had a good time in the chaos tonight.

I'll be applying the usual TPC point system to tonight's results and crowning a winner, which I'll add to the OP.

"Still down here, Afraid!"

 

[challenger001]

An excellent night, thanks for having me! Looking forward to the next ones.

 

[O604]

Sorry for any madness I caused, was disconnected from chat for half of the 2nd race. 💩


Good times. Photo finish from the last race. 🙂

I'm NASKART champion on alphabetical order 😎

Fun racing tonight even though I was too messy to hold a line, if you cover the inside too much you sometimes clip the apron and shoot up the banking, if you give it room you have a kart or 7 on the inside and you shoot up the banking.

Bring on round 2!

Yeah clipping the apron was a big issue for me too. I turned the sensitivity down at Northern Isle to try to help and it worked a little bit.

 

[PaoloMX]

You can have 27. I’ll swap to 105.

Thanks. Sorry I didn’t check 🤦‍♂️

Hello everyone,

Upon further testing, which was in fact the first testing I did, next week's Shelby GT350 round will be at BB Raceway.

The gearbox just tops out at BMB and the racing should be much better at the Bean. Beware the kink! You may want to turn a couple laps practice for this one, but she's a fun beast.

Settings for Round 2:
Tyre: Sports Medium
Power/Weight: 100/100
Track/ToD: BB Raceway, 09:00 Sunny
Boost: Off
Slipstream: Real
Tyre Wear/Fuel: Off
Penalties: Off
Tuning: Prohibited
ASM, CSA and Autodrive: Prohibited.

Since Traction Control was a long way off in 1965, it will also be prohibited.

Format for Round 2:
5 minutes Qualifying/15 Minutes Sprint/30 Minute race with MANDATORY PIT STOP.

You must pit within the pit window, which opens once 10 minutes have passed, and closes with 10 minutes to go.

Pit stop is a simple drive thru, do not take new tyres.

2nd time lucky

Will the game let you actually complete a pit stop if there's no tire wear or fuel consumption?

I'm pretty sure you can do a drive thru, yes. If not I'll put tyres on 1x as a token, on sports mediums that shouldn't really rear its head.

 

[challenger001]

Just a heads up that it might be very touch and go with me, my split for Tidgney's Miata Mania is likely to interfere with this. I'll do my best to turn up, but I may have to sit this one out.

No worries dude, make it if you can, no pressure in this series

Since a roster change has me working next round I'm living by this. Main reason this is the first actual series of any kind I've dared enter outside of standard FIA

 

[GTWolverine]

I still need to practice for tomorrow's race. I've been doing Race A all week and literally nothing else in this game. 🤣

 

[Redneckchef]

Practice? We talking about practice?

I went to make a livery for the car last night and thought I had a good one, then realised we were looking for more realistic things. Expectations toned down and hopefully get it looking relatively acceptable later. Still no practice anyway

I finished my livery earlier, it's pretty silly... Run what you want my man

 

[O604]

Time spent on livery, over 2 hours. Time spent driving the car, under 10 minutes. 🥶

Truly in the spirit of the series, I applaud it

Well mine was red metallic flames with a gigantic Death Before Prius logo on the hood. Wasnt exactly the right idea

 

[Kermit_2142]

The fact we can’t have tyre lettering for this car hurts my soul.

 

[DelboyD]

Sorry! I can’t make tonight’s race.

 

[MaxAttack]

Hello to all of tonight's victi- I mean racers, the lobby is currently open in practice mode and I'll switch over to the race lobby in about 25 minutes time. We have a few dropouts but no biggy, it's a tight track and I'm sure we can get some good action.

Pit stop in race 2 will go ahead as planned, tyre wear will still be off. Pit after 10 mins have passed but before 20 mins have passed. Don't take tyres, simply let your pit crew stand around like goons.


Be careful at the kink
