Okay then hopefully we'll see you again May 1st at Goodwood.I'm sorry but I will have to miss this round because of work. I do freelance and luckily a client needs help from me with a project that will last a few weekends, so I don't know who many race I'll miss. So sorry, I hope you guys have a great race!
Well then I will sort of take this as vote for July 24th. And I hope you can the Nurburgring race. That will be a double points payout.I definitely cannot do May 29th. I'll be out of town on a family beach vacation May 29th through June 5th. I expect to be home by 5:00pm on the 5th so I still plan to make it to our Nordschleife race.
But if May 29 works better for everyone else, then go ahead and use that date because July 24th is a "maybe" for me. That is the weekend closest to my wife's birthday so if she wants to do something Saturday night then that will need to take priority .
What kind of times are you guys getting at Maggiore? I’m getting a consistent 1:57ish

Hello everyone I here to inform you all that I must move our Mix Class Special at Sarthe - No Chicane currently scheduled for June 26th.
I'm currently debating between 2 dates. And want to know everyone's opinion.
Option 1 is May 29th. Note this would be Memorial Saturday for the US. Our Special would become part of that great weekend racing. Moving the race up to this date would also free up summer a little more. A cons however is this will put the race 1 week before our Gr.4 Nurburgring Nordschleife race. A high paying race that I'm sure many will want to practice for. Along this I know someone people like take mini vacation that weekend.
Option 2 is July 24th. This date is day before my birthday on 25th. Since it's my birthday I should be able to get out of or move whatever is planned that weekend. There is no race to worry about the week after this one. However this is also part the 2 week stretch that the postponed summer Olympics are or were to be held. Also I know someone of you may go on longer vacations during that this date could interfere with.
I have completed the Gr.3 and Gr.4 BOP Regulations list already. If we go first date. So I can post BOP quickly.
In Custom race vs AI in race conditions most of my laps are in the 1:58's and then 1:59's as the tires start to wear. I've only had a couple of laps go below 1:58, so I may have some work to do! Not sure what I can do in qualifying yet. I've done a low 1:56 in arcade time trial, but that is no tire wear and no fuel so not really a good comparison for Saturday night.
That's 2 for July 24th.Option 2 for me
I can't really give accurate lap times. I do most of my practicing in custom races against the AI. To get more of an understanding of how my car will behave in race conditions. The Gr.3 cars are fast enough to have aero washout effects.What kind of times are you guys getting at Maggiore? I’m getting a consistent 1:57ish
I usually go for higher tire wear settings. Learning from professional racing. High tire wear makes for better racing. Drivers slip sliding around on worn tires creates passing opportunities. Especially for those on new tires. The high wear also forces creative pit strategies.I'm getting similar tire wear. I really like that the tires wear out sooner than the fuel runs out though. It gives us a chance to make some strategic choices on when to pit, how much fuel to take on etc. At Streets of Willow I intentionally stayed on track a long time with worn tires b/c the car still handled okay and allowed me to make fewer pit stops. St. Croix, I pitted sooner b/c those laps were so long that I didn't want to risk "one more lap" on old tires, haha! Maggiore is kind of in between those two, so not sure what I'll do yet, but it's cool that strategy plays a part in these races 👍.
If someone was reversing on track for something other than correct their car's direction. They in for a big recklessly driving points penalty.The pit problem during race was a penalty for missing pit entrance then trying to back up on track to try to pit. I think for each attempt you must run another lap before you are allowed to pit.

Well reversing against race traffic is frowned upon here. No real racing series would allow and nor do I. And unfortunately I caught John and Toxic Bacon do it.I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble, I was just trying to diagnose the pit problem to make sure there was no bug.
Yes in will be an exhibition race with with Gr.3 and Gr4. I was discussed when Rinsky ran the series but, we never officially hosted it. Since I can't offer some big cash payout. I'm offering a small points payout to the top 3 finishers in each class. Tuning will be allowed for the race. Open car entry for which class you chose for the race. Balanced of Power will be manually enforced for whatever the current BOP power and weight settings is for your chosen ride.What does the mixed class race at Sarthe mean? Some people run GR4 and some run GR3??
I vote to move The Norde to the last race, I am not familiar with that track at all, I'm going to be dead meat there without months of practice. At like 10 minutes per lap I will only get about 40 laps of practice there in a whole month.

Not sure what you mean by second part of this. I spelled Nordschleife the name of just old 12.9 mile layout correctly. I believe the Gr.4 cars will be in the 8 minute range. And 40 Laps is long goal at the Nurburgring if the old track is involved.
I'm not the greatest at the Nurburgring. Not sure if it's truly possible to master that place. My best advice is to focus on being able to complete laps without going off track. Then slowly pick up from there.I mean that I am slow at that big assed track!!! I'm not real familiar with The Nord, I guess I better work on that.
I am a bit surprised about last night's race, I always thought I was a kinda slow at Maggiore but I did find time at the S's in the second sector practicing. I also feel like I lose a lot of time in the last 3 corners but maybe its just the nature of that track.

As of for our race. Yeah you did good. Took max points. By the way how did you manage to post a 1:56.000 as the fastest lap?
As for me. I knew this wouldn't be greatest track for the neutered F1 GTR but, I didn't think I would slow here. I'm concerned about our stop at Barcelona-Catalunya this year. Probably does help I'm still learning manual shifting. Figuring out when and when not to downshift has been the toughest part for me.
