Ran a few laps with Weescotman tonight. We had 1 3 lap race in dry conditions. I managed to improve my time on the last lap by 1 tenth of a second. Im looking forward to this Fridays practice, and the race on Sunday. The weather forecast for the race will be posted on Saturday evening.

Final practice for Sundays race is at 8.00pm tonight. Last chance to improve on lap times and try out the rolling start we will be using on Sunday. 5 lap races will be the order of the night, on both wet and dry tyres.

Other news. When GTP_Joylord sent me Dan's winning print, I asked for a second copy, which I gave to the Lotus PR department this week, along with a spare SC3 badge as a way of thanking them for the prizes donated for SC3. They were most impressed with the gifts, and will be watching us closer than ever in future events and season's.đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť

I'll be there tonight, maybe not early doors, but I will put in an appearance. It'll be nice to get behind the wheel of something more "Normal" đź‘Ť
 
I will probably not arrive again at this practice. I don't have wifi reception at the other TV and in my room it's very hot and my PS3 makes weird noises in that clima, i don't wanna push it. Weather should be better on sunday though. \o/

Ok mate, but just make sure your prepared for the wet, and also the rolling start we will be using.
 
Well what a fun final practice session. 9 Sunday Cuppers made their way to Spa and we tested the weather, as well as the rolling start. It was great to see Petros submit a competetive time on the RH tyre tonight, as well as some more improvements in the wets. Grand_prix Rob, and Hancock are the pace setters for this race, both getting into the 21's. There were some repeat connection issues between Cobani and Weescotman, which were resolved when we moved to an open lobby after practice, so Sundays race may be held in an open lobby. I will open my lobby from 7.00pm, and once everyone is in, if there are any issues, we will move to an open lobby.

There is no more practice for this race, as it Le Mans tomorrow.

Gentlemen, get ready for Sunday, and our very last race in the Sunday Cup Evora, and dont forget, the weather forecast for Sunday will be posted tomorrow evening.

Short but good practice for me :)

I still dont now where exactly is start of race,maybe some pictures whould help.Rolling start should start after we do warm-up lap, becouse we need time to take our right places.
Yesterday was all confusing to me:indiff:

I prefer normal srart :D

The race starts as soon as you have gone through T1. If everyone is in the room early enough I will add 1 extra lap, and we can do a formation lap to ensure we are all in our correct positions.

Good evening, here is the weather forecast for Belgium tomorrow evening at about 8.30pm.....

Bit of a mixed bag of weather, with low pressure causing localized showers. The evening will start dry, but expect showers, and possible heavy downpours in between sunny intervals. The weather will be at 50% with a changeability facter of 5, so dont forget your umbrella's.

Now, on a more serious note. We all love motorsport, thats why we come here. Today has been a sad day, with 2 tragic loses. Allan Simonsen at Le Mans, and Wolf Silvester at VLN. We race from the safety of our sofa's/rigs/mancaves, and the most we will see is heavy damage, and a trip to the pits. These guys put their lives on the line and paid the ultimate price for our entertainment.

Tomorrows race will be dedicated to Allan Simonsen #95, and Wolf Silvester #350.

Hi Ade, I wasn't able to participate in the most recent practice sessions, so just want some clarification about this rolling start if possible ....

At which exact point are we free to race after turn one? Is there a specific marker at which point we can accelerate, and how will this be policed for jump starts? Many thanks, Kev

Due to the nature of T1, and being a very busy grid, it was suggested that we use a rolling start after T1. The race will start as soon as you exit the turn. This way it will put a small gap between each car on our first approach to Eau Rouge, and it will minimize accidents. As we are using heavy damage for this race, it was decided that this way will reduce drivers getting damage right at the start of the race.

As we complete the formation lap, cars will get into single file in grid order, then you can race as soon as you have made your turn into T1,

Cobani has used this method in endurance races at Spa, and during the practice sessions it definitely reduced T1 accidents.

I will also post these rules in the lobby tonight, so everyone is clear on the procedure.

Edit, I have pmd everyone on PSN with these rules also.

Cheers, that's great. Sounds like an ideal solution. This heavy damage is a bit of a worry so hopefully we can get through the first lap unscathed!
 
The room is open...
