2008 RD Touring Car Championship (RACE 07)

[Kent Karlén]

Plenty of works for the judges?

You allowed to go wide in T1

Then the rules are ALWAYS 2 WHEELS AT THE TRACK.

But I saw many drivers go wide to the wrong side of the curvs (to the green field) with all the wheels when they exit turns.

I think it gone a be plenty of work for the judges here, or are you gone allow that to?

You can go as wide as you want on the T1 exit, as long as you stay off the grass and gravel (who would want to go there anyway ).

 

[Attila Domján]

made my pre-qualy laps, could not manage my PB but i think 1:40.5 will be enough again for group 1.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I've made 8 laps in total with a 1.41.2 as result. No need for me to dig in deeper into this track because i wont be here this weekend for the races.

I hope you guys have a good pair of races this weekend!

Yes I know T1 but do you allow to go wide at all the other turns, out to the green field.

you have a rules that say allways 2 wheels at the track but here you are over with all 4?

 

[Attila Domján]

Generally aim with max 2 on the green, but anyhow to have all 4 on the green is a tiny margin to touch the sand, which will slow you down anyhow....

 

[Niklas Hjelm]

1.41.8xx so far. I'm aiming for a 1.40.xxx. It could be posible with some tweaking of the car. I think G1 will be hard to reach this time, but we'll see.

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

In 1 of my first laps I drove a 1.41.010.
Tried a lot more laps to go in to the 1.40, but it will not work today... maybe tomorrow. Hope 1.41.010 is enough for group 1.

And Atti, you will always be in group 1

 

[Attila Domján]

And Atti, you will always be in group 1

Amen, i hope you are God himself, but at least the son...

can i have your lap time bram... i think it loves me...

Managed a 1:42:101 this far, kept doing constant 1:42:2xx's and i couldn't get it quicker lol.

Only time i did go quicker i messed up the rest of the lap which meant instead of the possible 1:41:8xx i could have got i got the lap time above^

 

[David Garcia]

aaaand the first driver to hit the track is Jacco "Mr. Gladiator" Cornelissen, go go go m8!

I can imagine Jacco sitting at the door of Valencia circuit, waiting the admins to open the doors with the first light of the morning...

 

[Jamie Wilson]

Valencia is a bit of an oddity due to the way the curbs are laid out; the two-wheel rule still applies 100% for apex curbs, but not so much for exit curbs; it's a bit of a grey area. That said, running along the full length of a mini-straight on a long exit curb is a no-no, in my view. Aim for the normal two-wheel rule as Atti says, but if you do use a lot of curb then you should aim to wrestle the car back to the black stuff immediately.

That's my view anyway. Another exception of note is Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch, but other than that and Valencia I can't really think of any other places that the two-wheel rule has any alternative interpretations.

Certainly there is no doubt about apex curbs anywhere; it's either two wheels or no wheels.

disclaimer: this is just my personal view, not that of the wider administration - rest assured that the staff certainly look into such things, though.

Only 1 qually server?

Hi is there going to be another qually server up at all? its just #1 is full and i cannot get in .
Thanks :alla:

 

[Karl Westman]

What about the turn in to T1, I've seen quite a few people swerve of to right ( and in to the pit lane exit area). Is that a "yes" or a "no" ?

Kind regards,
Karl

It's the ideal line, so you're safe to go there. As long as you do not bump off people exiting the pitlane.

Oops, wrong topic

Ok, then I'll have to re-train myself as I thought the cardinal rule was to "stay between the white lines"

49. The track is the tarmac between the (white or yellow) lines and the curb stones.
Grass, sand- and gravel traps and tarmac behind the lines are not considered part of the
track.
