N400 @ Nords replacement - TC Roasters @ RBR Short

[HaydenFan69]

Where: Red Bull Ring Short Circuit
What: Mazda TC Roadster
When: 9/18 @ 3:00 pm EDT

Trying to put on a super short notice replacement to @El_Beardo's N400 at the Nordschleife.

Format:
(1) 10 minute qualifying session.
(2) 10 minute heat races. Grid will be set by qualifying results with top 4 rows reversed.
(1) 20 minute main event race. Grid will be set by taking best overall race times from both heat races.

Rules:
Racing Hard tires will be used.
Tire wear and fuel set at x1 (that won't require stops, right?)

Being a short notice race, tuning is set at default and otherwise banned.

Liveries; go at it boys. Typical rules of nothing potentially offensive at the grand level (if you want to make something that'd upset @Adam Barber, go for it. Actually it's highly advised to do such.)

Penalties will all be off. But let's not abuse this boys. Don't try and round off T1 by taking it flat. Otherwise I will have to add some penalties, and I'll come down stricter than the mods on a bad day. Let's keep it somewhat professional.

Let's just have a fun race.

Count me in. @OJBrit this is right up your alley. @O604 too.

Edit- Timings are a bit late for me, so can’t confirm anything.

Funny the tag never came through on notifications.

It is up my alley.
However I will have to be a tentative yes as it is 8pm here and thus I'll have to ask race control if it is o.k.

Timing doesn't work to well for me here, looks like fun though as the MX-5 TC is a riot to race

 

[mohitraina91]

I’ll be there 👍

Ouch, 5am Sunday morning... miss for me I'm afraid (but not Afraid 😂 )

 

[R_Goldstreiff]

Thx for coming up with an alternative, but I won't be able to make it earlier and will need the time to take care of other GTS to-do's that have piled up (yes, there's even to-dos in GTS ^^).

 

[OJBrit]

I have been given the green light.
Truck en route to Austria.

 

[Michelin Man]

Looks like a fun little event, but I'm going to have to decline. Cheers for the offer though .

 

[Stencedaddy]

I am a maybe.

 

[Drex124]

I will still be away all day tomorrow so I'm out.

 

[HaydenFan69]

Practice Lobby is up. Those I’m not friends with that said they’d maybe run, I’ve sent a Friend Request to.

We will start roughly in one hour.

Having food soon so shouldn't be long, but maybe later than planned. Still planning on racing.

 

[HaydenFan69]

Thanks everyone who came out. Small numbers but outside @mohitraina91 embarrassing us all in the heats, it was close racing.

 

[OJBrit]

That was a good series of races. Thanks for hosting @HaydenFan69. And thanks for the close battle. I was glad to hold 2nd in the first race. And indeed race wheel to wheel with a few of you for the first time rather than watch your arrows on the map gradually get further from mine.

Heading towards Wurth Race 3, lap 1.

Me and Hayden battle towards Turn 1.

Knew going with the Marc Marquez helmet was a bad idea. Start strong, get it all wrong mid race, and rally to the finish.

That last race, I rolled off 4 56s laps at the finish. Had to do something to stay ahead.
