MY S3 SUGGESTION[/B

Come the 13th i dont see things being any better in my humble opinion lag black screens weird frame rate stuff (really yuk:yuck:) All increase the bigger the room (if you dont agree would have been handy for you to turn up at the test night!:grumpy:)
So i propose 2 divisions of 8/10 (Carb dont panic if quiet we can join up:)) we qualify during the week (whoops poll:dunce:) we will note the times and log them. If you qualify for division 1 you get 2 points extra for race 1 and 4 points extra for race 2 in total 6 bonus points(may be a lttle low edit is will also discuss 10 bonus points perhaps) an incentive to qualify as fast as possible 2 hot laps rather than 1 may be a fairer way to go can discuss further.I would also be inclined to qualify under sprint conditions tyre wear off so you get an even shot at 2 hot laps.
There will be no need for 2 division tables everything can be updated in one as one week you may qualify for div1 the following week div2 this keeps the competition nice and mixed each week rather than racing the same guys week in week out.💡
We do a 1 lap "race" parade lap (kings idea) in order of Q then a false start grid for the sprint race.
Race 2 We reverse the grid as normal add a lap a do the rolling start or alternatively we just stick to the false start grid system.

My suggestions alone clear as mud.:crazy:

Sounds good to me.

Just a guide mate sure it needs a tweek here and there but for me if we want to get as much out of whats left of this game its the avenue we need to go down:tup:

Basically if me and jb Q in same division then we might need someone from the other division to host that one.
We are not pushing you to do it we are just asking who would be up for it if we come across that bridge.
 
Had a play with the Jag last night JB. Was getting major understeer, but I think that's my driving style. I did gain some insight into the diff settings though, so thanks for that.
Having a hard time finding a balance between stodgy understeering boat and 'help I'm riding a rabid shark'. Part of me is tempted to switch to the Mazer, but the stubborn person in me wants to tame the wild cat!

I think I can balance it, It's just going to take some work.
Doesnt help that the ride-height mechanic is still backwards :dopey:
 
Op's been updated with the new start dates and track dates.

ALL CAR ENTRIES TO BE IN BY THE 6TH FEB

Its quite an animal Jhodas, i found it oversteered terribly as soon as throttle was applied hense the strange set up lsd etc:crazy: Probably why your finding it a little understeery was the only way i could get the beasts power down without flippin the tail eekk!:scared:
Wouldnt blame you for swaping Andy is looking for a teammate for his Maserati so theres a team in the making fella.:)

1 driver has put his name forward so far as possible host:tup:

Put my name down. :D
 
Be nice to have a maserati team.

Yep in the words of a past champion "Dont let your heart rule your head":sly:

Edit thank you Tom thats 2 triffic.👍

How many people know how to upload race incidents??
 
Are the laps going to be roughly the same as season 2.Just that there is serious tyre testing to be done. :scared: Is tyre selection still going to be open or is it RH.

Just thought its good to be talking about racing and not you know what. 👍

No worries, I host Racing Series' in my lounge all the time, no problems so far. 👍

Bit more involved this season with the weight and bhp regs and with the rolling starts.

Tyres will be unrestricted for race 2 Stu, although the tyre wear is rapid now to say the least not sure we need 30+ lap races 5/6 stops is kinda daft or is it me??? Yes race talk please please.👍

So is the 2 div a go go or a no no?

Race 2 We reverse the grid as normal add a lap a do the rolling start or alternatively we just stick to the false start grid system.

So are we doing a 1 lap race, getting into the order of the qualifying. Then race1 is the results of the 1lap race?

And race2 is a rolling start?
Sorry to be annoying :dopey:
 
Reducing the race laps to the low 20's would allow time for quali on the night. 5 or 6 stops would be crazy, 3 or 2 stopper races seem to bring some good strategy and battles.

It's all in talk as we speak.
Will let you all know asap
 
Be nice to have a maserati team.

I'll give the maser a bash tonight. I do like it, had some fun with it before.
I'll be pretty sad to see the big red cat go though.

Too true. That's why I'll never be a real racer, far too sentimental.

Q for sprint race then reverse grid for race 2 with false start check.
Rolling starts have now been droped!
 
Jhodas
That wasn't a 'I'm driving the Mazer'! Just testing, hehe.

That wasn't for you jhodas, I wish it was that easy!
