Drivers Briefing - Round 13

Suzuka Circuit.png


Circuit: Suzuka GP Circuit 2014
Race Format: 3 x 5 Laps
Circuit Time: Race 1 - 1400, Race 2 - 1600, Race 3 - 1800
Weather: N/A

@Mtla1984 @bencrow_ @Aaron Keynes @nosoks @erracht2 @ADDZ_074 @Smiley87 @VENDALISM @fullgas62

We are heading into the closing stages of the Championship and it is shaping up to be a close battle in the points standings. Unfortunately we only 6 cars in the last race though and it would be great to see that number increased with a return to the grid sizes we saw earlier in the season. Just to clear up any confusion, even if you didn't make the finals, you are still allowed to compete!

After some careful consideration, I have also decided to reward @ELVlS for his loyalty to the series since he has joined by elevating him into 'The Finals' contention. His points will be updated following this weeks round and will include the points he scored at Tsukuba.

Track Limits

The only area of concern would be the Casio Triangle (or the Hitachi Chicane in GT6). Please ensure that only 2 wheels cross the inside of the kerbs on each corner.

Qualifying

There are now changes to the race format coming about due to the creation of the club feature. We will now run a 10 minute qualifying session before each race. A championship point will be given to whoever qualifies on Pole Position for race 1, but races 2 and 3 will not see points handed out for taking pole position. However the qualifying sessions will count in the record books for pole positions, along with Race 1 and 2 winners from the opening 12 rounds.

Disconnection

As a result of the new club feature it is also impossible for us to stop for anyone who disconnects during qualifying. As a result, we will resolve this issue, by still giving championship points to those who disconnect in qualifying sessions, due to issues we have encountered. I hope this is viewed as a fair solution to what is an unfortunate situation.

Schedule

7:00PM ACDT - Room Opens
7:55PM - All Cars to Track (Spec Checking
8:00PM - Start of Qualifying for Race 1 (Race 1 to immediately follow qualifying)
Races 2 and 3 to take place following race 1

will have a prac room up again this evening, will edit my post with the time!

congrats on making the finals ElvisSS ;) mate!, def a very welcome addition!

Drivers Briefing - Round 15

Circuit: Mount Panorama Racing Circuit
Race Format: 1 x 25 Lap Race
Circuit Time: 16:00
Circuit Weather: 0% (Fixed Weather)

@Mtla1984 @bencrow_ @Aaron Keynes @nosoks @erracht2 @ADDZ_074 @Smiley87 @nasanu @VENDALISM @fullgas62 @ELVlS

Welcome everyone to the week most of us have been waiting for since the High Speed Ring 500. It's Bathurst time! We are now into the final 2 rounds of the season, so its getting closer to the end of the season.

Track Limits

There is only one place of any concern and that is the bitumen runoff at the esses at the top of the mountain. It is possible to cut straight through that section so if you gain an advantage from doing so, please lift off the accelarator.

Pit Entries/Exits

The entry limits into pit lane are pretty clear. You will most likely lose time if you have to cut the grass to enter the pits, so there is no issue there. The game does automatically spit the car out of pit lane and across the solid white line. So I wont issue any penatlies to drivers who cross the white line and keep on the left side of the track.

Qualifying

This weeks qualifying session has been increased from 10 minutes to 20 minutes to give everyone a chance to put in a clean lap.

Event Schedule

7:00PM AEDT - Room Opens
7:55PM - All cars to track for spec checking

Major Announcement on Future Direction Coming Soon

The Track Stars Touring Car Series could be in for a major shake up next season with series director ItzRacing informing members of the media about a "Special announcement regarding the future of the series," Prior to the Bathurst Round of the championship on Thursday.

While he was unable to give away any details, it has been discovered that disscusions have taken place with selected drivers about a number of options for next season. These options include an new set of car regulations with new cars and makes taking part, changes to race distances, allowing more strategies to be introduced into the series and much more...
 
nosoks
Me too but my attendance is iffy again. Whats a decent lap time?
Click to expand...

I think everyone is! :)

Lets hope you can make it, as you will definitely be a great addition to the race and I think the BMW should be quick around here.

At the moment the qualifying pace is a 2:05.3 but I think that could drop into the 2:04's. in the race once you make a tyre stop and have low fuel I could punch out a couple 2:04's but the tyres didn't appreciate it much...
 
I would be interested in doing some racing with you guys, and possibly joining the series next season. Chuck me a friend request :)

*edit: is it possible to enter as a wildcard entry just for bathurst? I would like to see how i compare against you all, and this series seems to be really well organised. I understand if its too short notice :)

Hey @Mike_grpA thanks for the interest in the series. We would love to have you join in next season.

Due to it being so close to the end of the season I was nearly going to say no, however if you are available tonight we will be holding a practice session that you are more than welcome to join, and it will give us an opportunity so to see whether you will be able to race well with us and allow you to join in for the final 2 rounds. The only condition being that you will have to use the Merc as that's the only car with spaces available. :)

I will send you a friend request when I get home in a couple hours, or if you want to, send one to ItzRacing and I will accept it when I get home.
 
Ok mate ill have to do the x2014 std champ to get some cash and buy the merc, currently the calibra is the only one I have of the bunch, I set it up with the specs you are using and after a bit of tuning I ran a 2,04.4 at bathurst, so my pace should be ok I think. Ill buy the merc tonight and get some practice laps in offline to get a set up im comfortable with. Just gotta cook my boys tea and give him a bath first.

Cheers mate, I appreciate it :)

*edit: got the merc. Feels like ive got it about as good as i will get it, lapping consistently 1 second slower than the calibra. Looks like bathurst is calibra country for sure, theyll take some beating there :)

Hey Mike looking forward to running some laps with you!

quick heads up, the physics are different offline to online, when running test/tune laps just open a private room with tyre wear fuel depletion etc and you will get a better idea of what the cars run like :) i know its strange but the developers of the game have left a lot to be desired re: consistency thats for sure!

see you a little later on :)
 
Ah ok, thanks for the heads up, havent done much online. Been doing a lot of testing and tuning offline since I got my wheel, building my confidence with the wheel, as in real cars Im more of a seat of the pants driver, so its been strange getting used to driving on the playstation lol. Looking forward to the race!

You'll range somewhere between 1-2.5secs off depending on driving style (online VS offline). If you need a hand with a setup for the Merc, I can help since I use to drive it as a Wildcard entry. Anything for a fellow Merc Driver ;)

I'll send you the settings via PSN PM.

Yeah it was about 1.5 slower out of the box. Enormous amounts of understeer compared with how it was offline with the same tune. I did a couple of small adjustments and got it down to 9 tenths but still far from happy so ill continue testing for now
 
seems like you know what your doing Mike!

i am the same, just got my wheel at the start of the season so was coming to terms with it all in the first few rounds. It will be like air soon enough and you will be finding the limit without a prob :)

see you online :)
