All teams full as I know. Got in region of 10-15 registered Indy runners.
Usually there's around 5 or 6 indy runners per night racing, the rest are team members

Sorry about having an endless amount of questions, but am I correct in saying that WSC VII will begin right after ToCa10
ends?
Next week.........................................

ToCA10 is saturdays, WSC is sundays![]()
Didn't dive bomb anyone in thoseThis 3-wide action as you call it was created by you divebombing @gtpanoz and sending his car against mine mid-corner... and with that you were able to pass us both before T1 (nice driving indeed)
And here you divebombed @hsv010 and as you went wide you rammed @Scaniabebe off-track... again gaining two positions ilegally...
ToCA10 is saturdays, WSC is sundays![]()
Uh-oh. Looks like GT-O competition to me. But how is that a bad thing? It's not! Hopefully I'll be able to compete in
the GT-P either later in the season or the next one, though. As an exception, could you allow the Chaparral 2D?
It is one of the two Prototypes that isn't a sloppy-handler(Corvette Stingray Race Car)that I can afford.
Okay. I'm signing up. Put me in the 15th slot. I will post all other information regarding my team name, car, wheels, and
color by next weekend, hopefully in time for the race. Also, what time is it where you are, Furi?
2:12am now.
Yup watching the NASCAR![]()
Wow, your eight hours ahead of me! So what time do you open ToCa and WSC rooms where you are?
7pm... so 7hrs 20 ago.
Qualifying?
Didn't dive bomb anyone in thoseproper braking was done and i like how you skipped the one of you pushing me into scania

7.20pm for Q1.
Be prepared because I'm about to ask you a huge favor. For me, I have a tough schedule on sundays and it would be great if you held the WSC on saturdays. Although it is possible for me to race in the WSC on sundays it would be much more convenient if you held the WSC on saturdays. Think of it this way: It is not a drastic change if you inform everyone
about the switch. And you don't really even have to switch, just hold the WSC on saturdays once ToCa ends. I know
you probably prefer your way because you have been using that schedule for so long, please at least consider the possibilities. Nobody will be left behind if you inform everybody.![]()
Quite selective when you've skipped the parts when both of them moved over in the braking areas making contact with me pushing at those anglesSorry I took so long to reply, but had to turn the PS back on in order to take these photos...
Let me have a go:
Nürburgring is a peculiar track insofar as it doesn't really reward cornering speed in traffic. It's sort of a stop-and-go track, although it doesn't feel like it. That's why some people that were fast on a single lap had trouble in the races, because their cars were fast on the wrong part of the track. I, for instance, found it very hard to get past almost all cars, because most others are faster down the straight. At the same time I had to queue behind them in the corners, once I caught up with someone. The Range Rover is also quite op'ed now as particularly race one showed. AMD went off twice while in the lead, fell back behind gkm & me, and easily passed us again like it was nothing. If he hadn't gone off, he probably would have won by at least 10 seconds. The RR has torque and grip coming out of the turns, it's not funny anymore. And people were saying the Honda was op'ed.![]()
It's comparatively slow in a straight line for sure. But it makes it up easily in the corners and on sheer consistency. 👍 Best car in the series IMO.
Here's a small lesson in racing logic, because a few of you certainly need it.
We'll make up a turn for this exercise in thought. Note its similarity to turn 1 at the 'Ring.

Now, the racing line for this turn is pretty simple: brake on the outside, turn in, clip the apex, power out. However, being the first turn of the track, there is extra room to the inside. The red car will show us the racing line.
![]()
Now the red car goes to do this in the race. However, there is a very impatient driver in the blue car behind him. The blue driver decides that it would be a good idea to force a move up the inside. Because the red car turns in to the apex, the cars make contact.

If the blue driver were more patient, they would realize that it is best to follow the red car's line, and perhaps try to gain an advantage exiting in order to minimize the time lost for both drivers in the pass attempt.

I feel like this was one of the biggest problems today. If someone tries to take the racing line, they have one or more cars decide it's time to make a move. This just ends up costing everyone time, making a frustrating race for all parties involved. Be patient and take time to set up moves. If you want people to race you cleanly, race them cleanly. It's the golden rule.
I'm being perfectly honest here, but I couldn't believe how far back that Rangie was coming from last night. I made up 2 positions from that, because not only did @Scaniabebe fly off the track, but @Holdenhsvgtsr couldn't even get it slowed afterwards. The worst bit? I'm seeing it happen every week.View attachment 115638 View attachment 115643 View attachment 115639
One can easily notice HSV braked at the limit to make the corner without going wide and how late you braked in comparison (way too late actually), and what came of it...
@snowgt +3pts. You're an ex-steward, one of the fastest in the championship and yet you feel need to to try and wreck someone due to them sliding into you in an overtake? Snow, not like you to do this, and I could make some kind of Austrian related joke about it, but I'd have to shout Lauda....
And the biggest problem is, I was unable to do anything about that Range Rover because of its pure size
Saying that Snow, I apologize about rear ending you on Lap 6, Race 2 - I went to brake at the normal time for the chicane and just lost all brakes!![]()
I think divebombing is my number one concern at the minute. With the lines I was taking last night, which are my preferred lines, far too many people came from way back and stuck it up the inside.

I'm not claiming to be the cleanest of drivers myself, but I would never be stupid enough to think making a move from that far back would work.
EDIT - Oh my god I didn't get points for once![]()
