This round will be split into 3 parts, a head to head race and two time trial elements. This is to allow those who have completed round 1, and are waiting to find out their opponent, to continue with the competition. So, without further ado!
Part 1
Tom and Jerry are at Suzuka Raceway east. (cat & mouse)
3 races of 9 laps luck of the draw.
Mini Cooper S challenge best of three races.
You may tune anyway you like, but must be max pp for the race.
Race one; Youve all seen it before, there is a crash first corner safety car comes out, the first car must wait for the second car to catch up by the Gykau bank curve ( See Map ). You then run as you would behind the safety car at reduced speed. The safety car lights go out just after (Gykau bank curve before Dunlop curve) and Safety car pits at the end of the lap, you can now race, but no overtaking till you past the start finishing line, as you would see in a F1 race.
Second race same as first, but change position 1st place in round one must be in 2nd you get the idea. Again you must run be hind safety car, so that both of you are now bumper to bumper till after last bend, no overtaking till you cross start finish line.
Third race luck of the draw, same rules as race 1 but hold your position who ever is drawn 1st stays first.
Good luck.
PS
This is a fun race, which should be heated and bumper to bumper for the whole 9 laps, as you can see we have tried to make it a little more interesting with a slight twist on the lining up on the grid and starting 30 seconds after the public race.
Play nice now guys, play fair, have fun and most of all have a laugh.
As this has been a request by some of the members
If you have any problem with not being able to do this race please let me know ASAP.
Special Note. Please read this.
As this is a rolling start race and a lap is around 56 seconds, it would be hard to line up on the grid and start the race 30 seconds after the public race, as the pubic race cars would be coming round to lap you, plus it would be difficult to finish before the countdown clock came into effect.
How to start race (please practise the start procedure)
Rolling start, pull over off racing line so not to interfere with public race, slow down do not stop, wait for your opponent and drive in formation (bumper to bumper) till end of first lap, imagine your behind a safety car at reduced speed. Once you pass the pit lane on the first lap your rolling start race begins.
You should be one behind the other (bumper to bumper) the second place car cannot over take the first place car till after the start finish line.
3 races of 9 laps. Remember the first lap is just to get you together( line astern, bumper to bumper one behind the other) your rolling start race starts on lap two.
I hope this has made the start clear, if not dont hesitate to contact me or post in the discussion thread.
