[iFerrari]

Not able to race tomorrow :/

 

[Kross24]

Racing (hopefully not run out of fuel)

 

[WaikeCU]

Btw we TSR bois on Michelin! TSR_Ryan03 will probably not race tonight

 

[MisakiMagikku]

Thanks for the fun evening, everyone!
2nd place feels very satisfying and although it seemed close in the results, l think Joe had it under control.

Tbh this series deserves a full grid. Would be even more exciting.
Cant wait for Yamagiwa.

See you on track!

First race is out of the way, and aside from some first race hiccups, it went fairly well, very excited to keep the ball rolling this weekend in Kyoto, but first a couple notes.
1) Some people had issues with refueling due to the lap 1 crash in Brazil. There is a contingency for tracks with rapid pit lanes where leniency is given for 1 liter to be acceptable during early pit stops. That contingency was not used in Brazil because in my own personal data, there was enough time to respond accordingly.
2) During safety car periods, cars that pit for repairs or tires will be moved to the rear of the safety car queue when they rejoin the track. Some confusion occurred on Saturday, but the cars that rejoined and slowed did the correct thing.
3) Teams that need a reserve driver must confirm that choice by 10:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time on Friday, 13 September.

#9 and #48 (myfamily_team) will be there to hopefully have a race without problems.

 

[CrazyJohn]

Oui, and hopefully should make it in qualifying as well.

 

[MisakiMagikku]

Above and Beyond Racing will be there as well.

Question: Are the PlayStation team allowed to run a special livery for their home Grand Prix? Like a small touch on a wing or something?

They can make minor changes to their existing livery. They don't get an exception.

 

[MisakiMagikku]

That okay?

Hope everyone has had a nice week off, but it's time to get back into it with another two week burst, starting at Barcelona. There have been some rule changes, so here's a run down.
1) For a tire stint to be deemed legal, each driver must run at least 5 consecutive laps on each compound of tire.
2) Safety car periods will now be a mandatory minimum of 2 full laps. This is in place to help drivers who may have missed full car repairs the first lap through, as seen in Kyoto and Brazil. Safety car periods caused by starting lap crashes will result in a grid re-formation in the order of the field at the end of the period.
3) Qualifying Session 1 will be shortened from 20 to 15 minutes.

As usual, teams that need a reserve driver must confirm that choice by 10:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time on Friday, 13 September.

[iFerrari]

Can’t race saturday. Hope the reserve can fill up.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Love how this season is very much "let's lay foundations and iron out the kinks as we go." Its bold to throw a full season out there off the bat, but you get more interest and more cars which influences how quickly the rules evolve.

While I had my reservations in Race 1 about refuelling and the zero tolerance ruling, going to hold my hand up and say that my prep work on the pitstops in Race 2 came a race too late and I cost myself a 5th at Brazil.

 

[CrazyJohn]

Me and Swablu will race.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Drifter I believe is racing, and I am questionable

 

[Storm_SP17]

I am questionable

HAH!

Yes you are.

 

[TetsuKobura]

HAH!

Yes you are.

I’m about to start a job that sometimes works Saturdays, so yes, I am questionable.

 

[MisakiMagikku]

Team Playstation will be there with 3 cars.

 

[Eva]

Team Playstation will be there with 3 cars.

Please share details of that third car.

One rule change has been implemented for the season, and it will be retroactively applied to the entire season:
-Drivers entered into events as a third entry for any team will be able to score points towards only the Driver's Championship. Teams that run three cars for a race weekend will continue to only score Team Championship points from the two designated Primary entries, or the direct substitute of a primary entry.
