Yeah I have been on rather late at times. Sometimes after a day at work I am really tired and so I sleep for a bit but then I obviously can't sleep when I do go to bed and stay up till I can't stay awake lol.
A couple of weeks ago I stayed up till 6am the next day (which was a Saturday) lol. Was tired the whole day haha..

Sad to hear.
Anyone going to team up with me in the NSX-RM? I might be able to make this race. Also, what tires are allowed? Racing Hard or Mediums?

Racing Mediums. If you look on the 2nd post in this thread, there is a guy called joetruckv8 or something similar, he is looking for a team
marfyb22R.I.P Jason Richards
He passed away last night from cancer at age 35. He was a much loved V8 supercar driver.
Very sad indeed. R.I.P. A bad year for racing drivers including Marco Simonchelli

Actually, I think the Prius might be the best car for London. I ran some tests and here are the results:
Honda CR-Z - Best time 55.18x, average time 56.1ish
Toyota Prius - Best time 55.4xx, average time 55.7ish
Mazda Miata - Best time 57.1xx, average time 58.xish
So although the CR-Z is capable of producing the fastest lap (to be honest I also drove it the most, as it's the car I'm using in the series), it's kind of hard to stay on the edge with that car. A lot of times when I tried to push it I ended up in the wall.
The Prius was easier for me to drive, not quite as fast, but a lot easier to do mid 55 times than the CR-Z. And to be honest my Prius only had 195 bhp, so there's still an extra 12 bhp available...
The Mazda Miata, it's FR and it's probably gonna be nicer to the front tires than the Prius and the CR-Z, but I found it to be rather slow at London. Maybe it can be fixed with a good setup. The main advantage compared to the two other cars is that it doesn't understeer as easy, so there is less trouble trying to get it around the tight corners.

I hate the Prius. I can't get my Subaru to turn anywhere. Especially London! I'm trying to fix it

Good that you bring this up.
First of all, the judges will not look at anything unless it is reported as an incident. How to do that?
1. If you're involved in an incident, please remember what lap it occured at.
2. After the race has finished, PM me about it with the info above (so I don't have to go through all the laps when watching the replay).
Now, when it comes to shortcutting London is blessed with solid walls so basically those constitutes the edges of the track, meaning that there can be no shortcutting. That is good of course
When it comes to contact between cars, this applies:
- The car in front has the right of keeping his own tempo. Contact because of someone else was going slow / braking early is not okay, you should always have full attention on what's in front of you on the track. (However, going slow around track with the intention of being an obstacle is considered foul play and will be penalised).
- When two cars are side by side, the track is divided in two. Each car must make sure that the other side is big enough to fit the other car. This means adjusting speed and line through corners. If two cars are side by side you can't make an "out-in-out" maneuver for instance, because one of those lines are already taken. The driver who fails to respect that = the cause of the contact. Of course, both cars can be equally to blaim.
- The consequence of the contact will be important for the penalty. If it gives the causing car an unfair advantage, or the other car an unfair disadvantage, it is more serious than if it doesn't. Important: If you feel like you got an unfair advantage, you can wait for the other car and let it pass again to compensate for that and to show a manner of fair play.
Some key things to consider:
- Overtaking, don't be too hot. There are several laps in the race and if you really are faster than the car in front then there will be many opportunities to pass, so just wait for a good one.
- Plan your overtaking well in time and have a strategy. Think of what sections might be good for overtaking, and what sections might be bad.
- Lapped cars, give rooms for the cars that are lapping you. It doesn't have to be at the same moment as they catch up, if you are at an awkward spot on the track. But as soon as you can safely let them pass, do so.
- Lapping cars, don't hit the lapped cars... if you catch up on someone really fast it might be a good idea to hit the brakes. Wait for a good opportunity to pass and don't be stupid, it is your responsibility that the lapping is done in a safe manner.
- Defensive driving: Defending car has the right to pick his own line, and to change line ONCE on a straight. Turning left-right-left-right etc. to block the road is not allowed.
- Lag can happed, accidents can happen. Some sportsmanship goes a long way.
Anything I forgot to mention?
He is already registered, in his own team: http://touringteamseries.blogspot.com/p/sbsimtech-racing.html
Or is he supposed to be racing in your team?
EDIT: Just saw his e-mail, yes he is now on your team.
EDIT 2: Your team name has been updated now to ETDM.com Racing

Race starts in 1 hour and 20 minutes, the track is London and we're running 26+27 laps, so don't leave after the first heat!
And remember to be in the lounge 20 minutes before race start for regulations check!
See you soon
