I was watching my tyre wear at Nurb, when we had it on ... Due to the nature of the track and possibly my driving, my Soft's lasted a good 6/7 laps ... the FR's do have better tyre wear functionality, but if I got only those laps out of my soft's then what will the AWD or FF guys get from their tyres? ... How much time will be lost if you run Med's or Hard's for the next 13/14 laps? ...

Swapping compounds for each race weekend could prove interesting and 'Spice things up" for the Feature Race ... e.g. Only RS and RH for Nurb at the first round ... that way when if drivers start on Hard's then they'll qualify lower, but will be able to leap frog the others in the pits ... the guys who quali on Soft's will have to pull a strategic plan out of their 🤬 to secure victory ...

Ross Brawn Tactics anyone? ... :lol:

Softs and hards, but no mediums? Holy god!!!
 
Edited ... :lol:

Okay ... Decision's final ...

Race procedure revisions ...

  • Full Tyre/Fuel wear on for the Feature Race. It will not be on for the Sprint Race
  • Hard, Medium and Soft Tyres allowed, but a Two Compound Mandate will run per Race Weekend. This means that one Race Weekend could run run RS/Rh or RM/RH or RS/RM Compounds. A decision will be announced on the Monday prior to the Race Weekend.
  • At least one Mandatory Pit Stop per race
  • You MUST start the race with the tyres you qualified on
  • Sprint Race will begin BEFORE the Feature Race
  • Feature Race will run in reverse grid order of the Sprint Race

This is cool....I like.

Just one thing....

The point allocated for pole - starting the race on the same tires for the race.

Now that the Sprint race is first, and we wont have tire wear on for it, this rule becomes predictable as I am sure everyone will qualify on softs.

Unless this carries over for the feature race, but that means you will have to take note on who ran what tire, then remember before we start the feature to check again that they are back to the correct combo they used for quali....ouch

A possibility: Let everyone just qualify on softs without tire wear during quali to get the ultimate true fast lap rewarding driver skill

There's so much editing and re-editing going on that it's bound that I will miss something or another ... thanks for pointing out because that rule is now made redundant ...

Oh god no; Laguna Seca will definitely cause some spins... I tend to spin every lap, and I'm not alone. The elevation change is horrible, for those who don't have racing wheels.

You guys can vote for any track you want to ... you don't have to go according to my suggestion hey
I think the opening 5 tracks are a nice mixture of speed and technicality ...
 
Wow! Alot lot lot happened while I was asleep...I might be and might not be free on the 19th but I am definetely free from the 26th. I dont mind missing the first or first two races...So is it ok if you could start the season on the 12th? That way I can guarantee im free the second race. I dont wanna hold you guys up an extra week. Its your call mate. 👍

Sorry KK, but we'll start on the 5 ... I'll see if we can organize make-up rounds or something for people who can't make certain races ...

I like my ideas!!!! :lol: :sly: Where's the smily for :proud: ?



Anyways, yeah, kk, I do some autocross; '09 Hyundai Accent "Salsa Red" stock with all-season tires (:yuck:) short-shifter kit, and strut tower brace bar.


That's the twelfth and twenty-sixth (12th & 26th) of August, so one of us won't be able to make a race or two. However, as I do in the ITCC, we'll run make-up races, in most W.M.A. series, unless otherwise noted, I imagine, because I haven't yet had a problem with the make-up races.


Example:

Normal season: 10 races


worst result: 0 points (absent)

Result: invited to Make-Up Race

Make-Up result: 10 points

10 points now added to what WAS previously the worst result, now 10 more points.
 
Anybody up for testing tonight? ... I need to clear my mind ...

Yeah man. Obviously, the wife and life (the two -ifes) come first, but, everyone needs some relaxing, off-topic "leisure," though I'll likely not be allowing for much leisure.

Driver101, those are some good tracks man! Monza, Spa, Tokyo and Grand Valley were my personal thoughts too.
 
Are upgrades allowed n the BMW?
