no tanks

No "tanks" or "thanks" You must be comfortable in it. Not many can say that.

 

[harvickfan]

Hi guys. Just wondering, is it possible for the race to start early enough to be done by 10:20/10:30 gmt?

 

[Osr20_L]

No "tanks" or "thanks" You must be comfortable in it. Not many can say that.

I'm running GTE with the camaro

 

[freshseth83]

Thats a great car. Love the way it drives.

 

[braunracing88]

Thats a great car. Love the way it drives.

The Camaro? From what I've seen, it's quite slow in a straight line.

 

[freshseth83]

Works fine if you run some lower wing and close gearing.

 

[braunracing88]

no idea tbh, the car so so different to GT cars since its a Super GT car which is why we let it go.... if i was going to have a guess it would most likely be around 472bhp/1300kg... but dont hold me to that lol

Then I'll stick with the Jag for the time being.

DRIVERS BRIEFING FOR ROUND 4, FUJI GT​

Welcome to the World Endurance Championship,
Positions always availble
Round 4, Fuji GT, June 1ST

​

HOW THINGS WORK​

Room will open between 8:30PM GMT and 9PM GMT Saturday evening, The room will be hosted by either myself TDZdave or Memto89,

LMP and GTE Multiclass event, 8 Cars per class, Races would last around an hour and 15 minutes too an hour 30 minutes, with 2 Endurance races, Lasting around 2 hours 30 minutes,

ROOM SETTINGS​

ABS 1, (Maximum)
TCS 3, (Maximum)
Driving line allowed,​

These are not the mandatory regulations, these are the maximum regulations allowed,​

QUALIFYING AND RACE INFORMATION​

Will be a 15 minute session followed by the race countdown timer for all circuits, Except Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans, In which will have a 20 minute qualifying followed by a 5 minute break for you to sort your food, fluid and bathroom commitments for an endurance event,
Also, The field will not be cleansed after qualifying, So if you are in an LMP car and have a horible run you cannot expect to be bumped up to the back of the LMP field, you will start where your qualifying time dictates,

Laps will be worked out to around the 1 hour 10 minute mark according to the LMP pole time, For Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans the laps will be sorted to the LMP pole time to the value of 2 hours 30 minutes,

Tires
Soft tires only, apart from intermediates and wets where required,

The Races, All races will have 1 full pace lap, Le Mans will not,

RACE START PROCEDURE​

+) Cars will roll at pace speed around the circuit as usual, (Changes)
+) The leaders will slow pace to bunch the field up prior to the final turn of the warm up lap,
+) once the field is bunched the leaders will proceed through the final turn onto the front straight,
+) When the 2 lead cars are on the painted grid lines it is up to the pole winner to start the race, They can start the race from any point on the painted grid lines to the start line,
+) If they cross the start line and haven't gone then the race is green, their loss,

I'n summary, the pole winner dictactes the pace lap, at pace speed, They have to ensure the field is bunched up, (near as makes no difference as some drivers will tail back to ensure their own safety in turn 1, once the leader gets to the painted grid slots its their choice to go, if they get to the start line and haven't gone then the race will also go green,
(Bare in mind that these may change race to race, so suit the track we are racing on, these will be released in the driver's briefing one week out from the event,)

Overtaking and lapping, Be patient, overtaking points will come, You will never win the race on lap 1,
Lapping, GTE cars will be expected to maintain their line, It is up to their discretion to get out of an LMP cars way, "removing" them from the circuit will result in a penalty,

This is a championship, Points will only be awarded for top 5 only in each class, Bonus points maybe awarded for, Class Pole Position, class fastest lap, And class most laps led, and leading a lap at the start line,
Points are in this order
1st) 5
2nd) 4
3rd) 3
4th) 2
5th) 1
1 Point for pole and 1 for fastest lap of the race (Each category)
Double Points will be awarded for the two endurance races, You must complete 90% to claim any points,

WARNINGS AND PENALTIES​

will be dealt with accordingly per class steward, I TDZdave am the head steward, Memto89 is the LMP steward and Johnnyb is the GTE steward,
2) If an LMP causes a GTE car to spin or crash while lapping them, the LMP driver will either wait and allow the GTE driver to retake their position and get up to race speed before retaking them, Or have the time lost for the GTE car +2 seconds added to the final result time,
If you are not sure if you have recieved a penalty or warning from an event, They will be published at the bottom of the OP, they will be published by Monday evening after the race, If we have yet to come to a decision it will be published as TBD,
Corner Cutting Two wheels must remain on the black stuff at all times, (or kerbing) If it is deemed by us that you have been cutting corners you will be served a penalty pending how much it cut or how many times,
Also, Do not arrive in a "Hybrid" or "Hacked" vehicle, you will be removed on the spot! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Still waiting on confirmation of attendance from...... Furinkazen and Plotnik,

This weeks reserve cars are, (Plotnik has first choice)
GTE Audi R8 LMS (this week only)
GTE Pagani Zonda LM

KEY REMINDERS​

GTE cars it is always the job of the LMp car to find a safe way around you, If you are going to move over for them be sure to make your intentions clear very early, otherwise the results could be aweful,

there will be a full pace lap, pole winner for LMP decides race start once their LMP has got onto the painted grid slots,

Remember if you run wide you must return to the racing surface before the end of the rumble strip, this is expected to happen, but people making gains from intentionally running wide will be penalized, (We caught this every time so far) Same also goes for corner cutting,


Sorry for this being so late, real life problems prevented me from doing this earlier,

 

[GTPL_Plotnik]

I confirm Zonda in the rest part of the season
