and YES, we're using the TIME Change 2009 w/ chicanes track.
doing a 24 hour mock race in 2 hours.
Psycho/MBobb/Stewards, i wrote this last night in practice but should post it here:
Weather should be turned off with no changeability
Time Change should be set to
12 (2 hours real time = 24 hours track time)
Not sure how qualifying is set up, but try to set the track clock so the race starts at
15:00 hours.
5 minutes = 1 hour; so if we're doing a 1 lap qualifying race with collisions off, then set track time to
14:00 as it will take about 5 minutes to run that without a break.
If you wanted to set the track up at 10PMest and then do a qualifying session and begin the race at 10:30pmest, then set the track to
09:00 at 10pmest and the track should be at 15:00 at 10:30pmest (30 real minutes = 6 hours of track time)
Time conversion is fun!
Any other questions?
Scarecrow (Jag), it was quite entertaining to race with you last night going back and forth depending on where we were on track. I (Ferrari) had you on the straights and you dominated me on the curvy parts. The Ford seemed a mixture of the two but I didnt get to race with one long enough. Although TXExecutioner flew by us at one point in his Ford before he got a penalty.
In case anyone is curious, during offline testing, the lap times i ran with all three cars were within 1 second of each other; So choose your car based on preference, because all three can with this thing and all are equal over the course of a full lap.
Fastest "OFFLINE" Laps:
Ford: 3:46.xxx
Jag: 3:47.xxx
Ferrari: 3:47.xxx
most of my "good" laps online were around 3:50 as a reference point. Depending on time of day and tyre wear, anything under 4:00 is pretty good.
***Also, I would like to make a request for this specific track and race. Can we please
turn off Penalties for this race? I think it would be beneficial to many of the drivers. The penalty zones on this track are broken and i fear it will frustrate people throughout a 2 hour race
***
If you agree to do this, I think anyone found to intentionally cut a corner should get a 30 second penalty (straightlining the chicanes on the Mulsanne Straight and the Ford Chicanes before start/finish; zigzagging through the mulsanne barriers if you miss your braking does not save time FYI).
Anyway, your call guys, but i know the penalty's really piss people off at this track. If you don't want to deal with policing all the cutting that can occur here, then that's cool and i totally understand; (the careful and experienced drivers will benefit greatly as they get the fewest penalties). Just throwing the idea out there.
I know i was braking a lot earlier than many guys last night being careful of penalties and trying to save my tyres. So it is certainly a part of racing this track if you want it to be. It's just the useless, annoying penalties for barely going on a curb that is frustrating.
if anything ill be there for practice race time
Can you guys give me an idea of competitive lap times and on what tires? Still trying to decide on a tire strategy.
