I don't have time to post my replay right now, so if you would rather just put me at back of grid, that's OK with me.
My fastest clean saved lap is a 1:14.656, like I said, did not have much time to run this one. I'll have time to post the replay tonight, almost certainly before the race.
But understand if you would rather put me to the back.
I thought the event post said it had to be in by midnight Pacific on Tuesday, but after review it doesn't (must have put in a follow up post and never updated the event post). So we'll allow you to post the replay today and take your spot based on that time *if* someone has the time to verify the replay and green flag the time on this thread with enough notice that a steward can adjust the starting lineup before the NA race.
In future weeks when we use WRS for qualification we'll be sure to include it in the event post and require it be posted by Tuesday night so we can be sure to get everything set well before the last minute.
I'm going to be away this evening and I know Lucas usually gets home right and available just in time to race so we'll need a volunteer to review your replay tonight.
Just a suggestion, in future after this race maybe, what if we do it like touring cars, fastest start last, slowest start first (from WRS). That way it would be very intresting with a combo like this i feel.
I actually thought about that too and I think it would make the race very interesting.
Faster guys in the back WILL HAVE TO be patience though, as they won't always be able to make the finish up front.
You guys are funny. There was a discussion a few pages back where people suggest we never use a reverse grid.
Our feeling (3D3 Stewards) is that we *will* do the reverse grid occasionally when we feel the combo allows manageable passing. On the "passing scale", this combo I would rate as "hard" and Monaco as "vary hard" so we didn't want to have a reverse grid in these race and we won't tonight. Tonight/Today we are sticking to the plan.
In the future our choice will also depend on our evaluation of the "spirit" of the event. Technical track with race cars vs drafting track with road cars, etc.
One other variable that we can't always take into consideration when posting the event is field makeup as we don't know it until people sign up. If there is big field and a nice split between divisions then I think a fastest grid works well as each division is likely bunched at the start with their own and separate packs will develop in the race based on pace. However, If the grid is smaller or more uneven (say just a single D1) then a reverse grid offers something as it can present a unique challenge to the D1 driver versus opening up a 30 second gap and riding by themselves. (Almost sounds like a seasonal event where we are the AI
). Only problem here is we don't know the field makeup until after we make the call... but if we ever have a race with a smaller than expected field we may throw it out there as a last minute adjustment.
@Markyboy... you'll get your wish of climbing through the field today so you can give us all feedback after the race how it felt and the fun factor versus battling with the D1 guys through the entire race in front.
Narrows it, a *little*, eh?
