Good choice 👍 The S2K is a sweet drive.
 
Just confirming your entry 500ci. GN+ will add you to the entry list asap.

GN+ and I had discussed the issue about a week ago and I thought we'd come to the conclusion that we were going to announce that the tires would be Racing Soft for qualifying and Racing Medium for the race. Of course, I'm not sure if he and I were 100% on that but since no change to the regulations has been made by the big boss, I guess we aren't 100% after all.

I addressed the tire situation a few days prior. It's in the real thread. Tire selection will be different each week.

If tires will be different each week, where are we going to run the races? Track meet has no tire wear. If there's not going to be any tire wear, then really there is only one tire choice. Unless, tires will be specified for each race by the race officials?:confused:

There's no tire wear, but you can still choose tires. And yes, the tires will be specified on which to use before each event.

That is 100% clear now. Thanks for clarifying. :) Can't wait for Race 1! 👍
 
I'm actually working on race one at the moment. It's finally upon us. :)
 
um.... in track meet mode i cant make a pit stop.
 
Round 1 has yet to be announced. Wait for round one, or carefully read the last half of page 5 and all will be answered. The problem was a schedule change do to some uncertainty about drivers wanting to compete in endurance events. That explains the... shall we say inconsistant rules.

m.piedgros
 
If the endurance race was not too long I would race in that to.
 
I took another look at the Taikyu Series website to see what you guys were talking about, and found out that pretty much every race is an endurance race. :ouch:

Rd.1: A 100 lapper
Rd.2: 300 miles (about 95laps)
Rd.3: A 24Hr Race
Rd.4: I believe a 4hour race
Rd.5: 400km race(about 108laps)
Rd.6:Another 400km race
Rd.7: A 300mile race to end the season

I know it's hard enough getting people to particpate as it is. However, I think it could be nice to race one enduro, even if it is optional.
 
The real races also have two and three drivers. ;)
I'm pretty sure at least one race this season will be endurance.
 
That alot of driving:scared:.

You're in. It's the same series, but it was the drivers that ditched the series. I only received three or so times for the second race.
 
It's sad when that happen's:(, thats what happen to my race series.
 
Hey Chris. Good to see another endurance racing fan aboard. GN+ will add you to the entry list ASAP. Build your car asap and get to the track. Round one is already underway. If you don't understand how OLR's work or if you have any questions about the series you can't find an answer to, feel free to either post here or private message myself or GN+.

m.piedgros
 
Yeah. One quick question. What exactly are the tire rules. They aren't quite clear to me.
 
The tires you will use are specified in the race thread.
 
Some of the changes to be made to classes will be announced by myself later in the day. Currently I am watching the Rolex race from Infineon but I'll do another hour of quali in my Subi before finalizing the changes to the regulations.

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS CHANGES:

Changes to be made for ROUND 2:

ST2: Carbon Drive Shafts are now mandatory.

ST3: Carbon Drive Shafts are now illegal.

ST3: Must use STOCK transmission.

ST4: Semi-Racing Suspensions MUST be used.

ST4: Add 50kg ballast weight. Where it is positioned is free.

ST5: Carbon Drive Shafts are now illegal.

ST5: Brake Balance Controlers are illegal.

ST5: Must run STRAIGHT TYPE A wing.

Changes to ST1 cars may follow though those must first be mulled over by all members of the sanctioning body. More changes should be expected to be made throughout the year. Make sure you have enough credits in the bank to get through the changes. Expect some big ones, though they may in actuality never come. Be prepared to build yourself a brand new car. In the event racers find themselves building new cars, a testing thread will be opened to allow people to get onto the same page as one another in terms of performance and break the cars in.

But the ST4 class can't use a carbon driveshaft because they are all FWD.
 
My mistake. I must have mistakenly pressed 4 instead of 5, then looked up and without thinking assumed because four was there I still needed to add 5. Thanks for pointing that out and I'll remember to check my posts in the future!

m.piedgros

EDIT: That wasn't my mistake. I just wrote the wrong change. Check that post for information.
