Just finished the micro edits on the op fellas, plz check it out! Also I took action to the problem of drivers driving the '04 Amemiya Rx-7, and having Eng Mod 3. I will get the pp figure for Rx-7 with no eng mod 3 for car regulating come race day.

Willfred_1 I saved your logo, but I have to convert it from pdf to whatever photobucket accepts. Unfortunately that process I can not do until I get home from work so we'll attack that tonight!!

Also qualifying is now open. So start asking the stewards when they available, and try to avoid the end of week rush

I'd like to Qualify but can't because I've no idea what the rules on tyres are!
Seems to missing from the OP, just says about it being a soft/med combination.

Sorry if I missed it in this thread but can someone just clarify whats going on? :crazy:
 
You may use whatever tire you like, for as long as you like throughout the race.

However, whatever tire you qualify on, is the tire you will start the race with.
 
I think Joe/Zach didnt you guys mention something about a minimum laps requirement for the medium tires ?

That's wrong information straight away. Both compounds will be used during the race.

I'm sure that's what was mentioned aswell 👍
 
Both compounds are compulsory

You must use the mediums for 8 laps

I believe it was decided you car start on any tyre? For simplicity in drawing up the grid

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, that's just what I remember
 
So why even have mediums? If you qualify on them you should use them to start with. No reason to even have the tire if there's no strategic qualifying involved.
 
That's what I'm saying but they were voted in once we decided to have 2 compounds vs 1. Anyways I did forget to update the op with the tire arrangement rules so I will do that tonight. And as of now we have 17 drives which would split the rooms, but hopefully well miss 1 driver per round so we can have a packed grid. I might sit out this round to give all drivers a chance at racing a full room.
 
It should be start on the tyre you qualify on. Only problem is if we have 2 rooms, as i don't think anyone will risk going for meds if you might be pushed into room 2 with them.

No way mister lol. SkengD said he was missing this weekends race.
 
I was just reading through the OP on season 2 thread and noticed these 2 sentences that are contradictory -

"You will do a 4 lap "Grid Start" race and the fastest lap time in the first 3 laps will be your qualifying time. The 4th lap is just for you to sit there so the race officials can easily record your time."


"Only a clean lap will be counted for your qualifying time. "Clean" meaning never going out of track boundaries. In the event that both of your laps are not clean (regardless of whether or not you gained time from the infraction), then your qualifying times will not be counted, and you will be sent to the bottom of the grid."

You guys should change it so minor disputes won't occur.

Edit -

Success ballast doesn't state that is also carried over in qualifying. Is this still the case?

It means that you fastest clean lap counts. With no clean laps you record don't get a qualifying time so are sent to the back of the gird.
Clean means having at least 2 wheels on track at all times
Track is defined as the red curbing, or where no curbing is present white lines
 
You didn't read my post correctly! The red bits, one says first 3 laps and the other says both of your laps.

This either means lap 1 counts as a lap (if thats clean), although it will be slower as it's a standing start, it is still a time.

Or it means lap 1 doesn't count and you are judged on lap 2 and 3.

Can you just confirm which option it is and adjust the OP so we don't have and further problems with it.

True. If we get 3 hotlaps lap 4 should be counted.
Click to expand...


No. Lap one is counted or only lap 2 and 3.

I read it somewhere but can't find it. I think if we get a situation where lap 2 and 3 are dirty for a number of runners, who starts where? If lap 1 is counted then that sorts out the problem.
 
Its hotlaps I'm talking about, not standing laps. Please reread. If u get 3 hotlaps you need lap 4 to count. Otherwise we should do a 5 lap race for qualifying. Why would it be right to give people 3 laps but not count lap 4 and know lap 1 is from a stand still? So maybe change the wording in the OP to reflect that as well. There was definitely confusion over that last season.

You re-read, you went totally off what i was talking about. It's clear and been stated more than once that we will have only 2 hot laps.

Also read my last post regarding lap 1. This wasn't a discussion about how many hot laps we have, just a discussion about whether lap 1 will count, also for the reasons stated in my last post.
 
I dont care what you were talking about. I started a new sentence and a new topic. Nowhere does it say 2 hotlaps in the OP, don't start an argument. I made a separate point to yours.

You Seth are the biggest idiot I have ever come across in this forum. Why do you butt into other peoples conversations all the time without fully reading or understanding what we're talking about? If you don't care what we're talking about then why did you even bother to post about what i had just brought up? The rules on how many hot laps we had were clear for all, that we were carrying on from last season with the 2 hot laps.

You can also see I was clearly talking about the season 2 OP. Not the season 2 interest and discussion OP. Hence the sentence - "I was just reading through the OP on season 2 thread". Obviously you didn't bother to read what I said.

The reason i put it in this thread was for the exact thing that is happening now. People like you talking rubbish. All i was doing was pointing out a contradictory couple of sentances that i asked to be made clearer as to not cause confusion and to make it easier to understand the way qualifying works. It wasn't for you to start another discussion about a 5 lap qualifying with 3 hot laps. We all know thats what you wanted and we also all know it was talked about and rejected.

You are either so blind you can't read whats right infront of you or your so arrogant you will never admit you made a mistake and move on. I really hope its the former.

Here is the information where it states the laps -

"You will do a 4 lap "Grid Start" race and the fastest lap time in the first 3 laps will be your qualifying time. The 4th lap is just for you to sit there so the race officials can easily record your time." That right there indicates 2 HOT LAPS, can you see it?

I apologise to all the other guys who have to read this but once again it had to be said. In future Seth unless you see me clearly direct a statement at you, can you please not talk or reply to me.

:ouch: come on, guy. I said "nowhere in the OP does it say 2 hotlaps". There's no OP describing the qualifying procedures except in the official Season 2 thread. Obviously then, I too was talking about the same thread you were, freaking genius. 💡

Maybe if you read it again you'll get what I said. You like so many others just jump to conclusions because it doesn't follow your line of thought. News flash, BAZZER, not everyone thinks like you. I said if were going to get 3 hotlaps like many thought we were getting LAST SEASON, perhaps running 5 laps is an option. If were not getting 5 laps, or 3 hotlaps, then we should change the wording of the OP. Come on, man- just read! Don't try to push your thoughts about what I'm saying as factual. You read way too much into what I said and not enough of comprehending what I said.

Where does it say 2 or 3 hotlaps? Nowhere. What did I say? I said in the OP it doesn't say 3 hotlaps, but people were thinking last season they got 3 hotlaps and wanted that 4th lap. Stop talking 🤬 and you won't have such a potty for a mouth.

Maybe if you read what I said, like I said, you wouldn't respond on a whim and try to call me out with your blatant derogatory remarks. 👎

Seth wat is your problem bazz was raising a valid point which is easy to understand
Here's a simplified version so you can comprehend it
If 3 people get all dirty laps who starts at the back
My suggestion is doing it in order qualified as I spent my first lap warming tyres
 
My bad man.
Erm, I believe it will still be a 4 lap race, and your fastest lap in the first 3 lap counts. Yes that's only 2 hot laps, but if that's what it says, that's what it says.
 
Bum does that means we have choice warm up tires and go hell for leather on the next two
Or go like a bat out of hell for the first three
 
Is it possible we could have the fastest qualifying person to do a mock quali session so I can make sure I have a replay for race highlights

Ok, and...? I wasn't elaborating on his point! I made another point that people last season were confused that there was 4 lap race and they thought they got 3 'flying laps'. Your first lap is standing start, not a flying lap. So I said it would be a good idea to reword the OP on the S2 thread so people aren't confused and think they get laps 2-4 to set a 'flier'.
 
Just as I thought, next time don't let your arrogance completely miss thepoint we were talking about.

The only people confused were the ones that didn't bother reading the season 2 OP.
