I only got a 1.23.5xx once and that was right when RT had closed the gap really close. Other than that I was running high 1.23's and low 1.24's

I should have a full fledged thread open next week. I also thought of something tonight that might be an issue. Daylight Savings Time is Sunday morning, so our start time will have to stay the same for me, but will move back one hour for everyone else. Meaning the east coast guys would be racing at 11pm.

Let me know if this is going to be an issue for everyone. We could possibly move the races to another day/time, but my personal schedule is pretty limited at the moment.

Some questions for everyone:

1) I will be changing the race format from one single qualifying session and 35 minute race, to two qualifying sessions and two 20 minute races. This good with everyone?

2) Even though we are not using tire wear, I would like to implement a mandatory pit stop for each race. Any objections?

Also some notes:

1) Since the cars make around 650hp fully broken in, I will be reducing their power to around ~625hp for the full season.

2) Regarding the 7th gear issues, I will take a look at the replay tomorrow. Since this was basically a practice race, a time penalty might be issued depending on how severe it was. In the full season, penalties may include loss of championship points.

If I come up with more I will let you know.

Good racing out there today guys. 👍

I don't think the daylight savings time should be a big issue for me. As for the format I would prefer it stays where it's at however add in a mandatory pit stop.

Im starting the sessions at 2am here and its fine with me but much later than that might be an issue... Im not sure if I will fall asleep at the wheel

1) Im ok either way

2) so the pit stop would be some sort of a coffe break? if we dont have tyre wear what is the purpouse besides resting a bit? its only going to prolong the races and will change nothing IMO

1) 625 is fine but 650 is also fine and not much of a difference

EDIT: assuming it is OK for me to join the series... please let me know RT so that I start painting, tunning and testing

Just throws some mix into the race. People have to make sure they get on and off pit road correctly. May mean the difference in picking up a spot or two, or losing a spot or two. Adds some "excitement".

I never tell anyone they are not ok to join, so you're fine.

I think if we run only 20 minute races, it will be odd pitting, just saying.

Let's continue this over at the interest checks thread.

I'll lock this one down for now.
