Anyone have a good tune that will perform well in the pits? :)

I'll ask a noob question then talk.
On the pit entry at Fuji, the white lines follow the wall on the right. Do we have to stay inside those white lines or shortcut that little right-left part at the pit entry? I think we should stay inside the white lines and rely on GTP's excellent honesty that our competitor does too.👍
Loving the pitstop by the way.:dopey: I'm up against GTP_Tzayad, I'm doomed.:sly:
 
Great work by Kevin 👍 tho I'm a tiny bit disappointed that I cannot come to action before the Division final. Must be the final PAL player left in Div4? Hopefully next time there'll be an international online event to make life easier for both players and mods ...

Good luck to all and have loads of fun. Seems like the pit rule will give the races a nice twist, and judging by the reactions it looks like that rule will last :cool:
 
I take it there is no speed limit in the pits? Just a drive through, and not stop and go?
 
Thanks for the great decision for the pitstops 👍 ..makes every lap & corner count. :)

That is correct, although driving through the pit lane will give you a shortcut penalty.
 
Sorry guys .. can't make this week and so will have to pull out, apologies to Sphinx who would have won anyway 👍
sorry about this and Good Luck to everyone still in the comp :cheers:
Cheers
Ron.
 
I think there's four people now with bye weeks in div 1, if their all the same region could they not be paired together then.

good thinking,because it seems some drivers don't race for 2 weeks in a row now....:)



spyrrari.
 
I'll take the bye week, thank you very much. Don't really have time this week to practice.
 
Sphinx would get 2 weeks without racing now if not paired with someone.;)

I've been paired with 2 drivers for both weeks so far, it's hardly the fault of the organisers, or myself for that matter, that my opponents couldn't attend. How did your race go for week 1?

Yes, I'm well aware of this, but the question was still asked, I merely answered. I'm not trying to make out like the moderators get it easy or anything. Why do you always assume the worst of me?

You're very aware of this, but are others? You highlighted that I have yet to race, but failed to mention the reasons why. If someone who was not aware of the reasons could have wrongly assumed that I've had an easy ride for the last two weeks. As an organiser, I have to ensure that I am seen as squeaky clean. I therefore addressed the possibility of any misunderstanding.

Inside the lines is track, so you have to keep at least 2 wheels inside the lines AND avoid contact with the wall.

Steven - Congratulations, you are champion of your class. 👍

Therefore, you have a bye until the championship round.

I think there's four people now with bye weeks in div 1, if their all the same region could they not be paired together then.

Actually, there WERE 3 racers with a bye, one from each class. Until the division championship round, we are only pairing drivers from the same class. Yes, Sphinx will now have a second week off. But I will not pair him with Racer LP for this week, since their race would be for the class championship. I'm planning to have all of the head to head races for class championships on the same week.



Please also keep in mind, everyone, that the draw determines the pairings. I'm keeping the pairings within the same region and class at this point, so those are additional factors. Finally, if a racer has a bye as a result of not being paired with another racer to begin with, they will not be eligible for a bye on the following week. In the case of D1 Gold, neither Me Against You nor Timppaq were able to run last week, so that was going to end up the same either way. And the draw determined who got to race and who got the bye.

Hope that helps, let me know if there are further questions.

Thanks
Kevin
