The Midfield Classic @ Midfield Raceway
Although the level of participation was down last race, from previous weeks, I look forward to the regulars returning to race at this classic track.
Midfield Raceway has changed very little over the years, apart from a re-profiling of turn 3 in the switch from GT3 to GT4 which has reduced the speeds through T1.
Therefore, most racers will be able to take to the track like ducks to water.
In testing, I found it challenging, relaxing, and to be VERY fast with these cars & most drivers should be able to achieve lap times UNDER 59 seconds on medium fronts, and very much quicker with the softer compounds.
This race heralds the introduction of the weight penalty system, the adjustments have been worked out from performance through the first three rounds.
+2% weight for a race win, +1% for the second place driver, 0 for the middlings, and down to -2% for the tail-ender. (except last week where it was +1% to -1% only)
Qualifying settings:
Location : Arcade mode Time Trial Midfield Raceway (Forwards/Normal)
Tyres: RSS (Qualifying) compound only.
2 Wheels on track at ALL times. (Rumble strips are classed as track)

General Rules:
Standard OLR Rules apply
Try to keep 2 wheels on track at all times in the race (Rumble strips are classed as track)
No wall contact, no cheating, no hybrids etc, etc
AI contact is allowed, but NO penalties are allowed
Always stay within the 'spirit' of the rules
Track Specific Rules:
The tarmac areas outside of the lines / rumble-strips within both tunnels is considered OUT OF BOUNDS!
As in the last race (and throughout the series) an occasional off is to be expected in races of this length, and are not a reason for binning a race as long as you do not gain any time from them.
Duration:
Starts: Friday 31st August. Ends: Sunday 9th September @ 23:59.999 GMT
Therefore you have 2 weekends to complete both qualifying and the race.
Please PM your qualifying / Race time & fastest lap-time for your chosen car to myself (Tyre King) before the deadline. (Format at bottom of page)
Final Words:
You are free, in-fact actively encouraged, to discuss split times but NOT lap times in qualifying, and you can discuss fastest lap times in the race, just not your final times.
You are also encouraged to give details on tyre-wear, handling, and anything else relating to the cars.
But above all, have fun.
Any problems, just PM either myself or Phil and we will sort it ASAP.
Let's have at it!
