You forgot to mention Teamspeak, a singing voice, tissues for the tears of laughter and perhaps the ability to mute individuals who can't keep up with the singing or get a little hot under the collar (Rhys was blushing for about 6 laps...) :shock:

:rotfl:

On a more serious note...

Confirmation: It will be the 2004 Spa Version

Is that safe to use? Remember the pitstop debacle in the RDNGP (Rhys )

Richard, that was Jamie. All you need to do is turn off Autopit, and everything will be fine.

I think the past problem with Spa is that you must not use the pitspeed limiter, because it locks you in the pits. I haven't seen any fixes for it, but don't know if it is still a problem. I've advised Motorheadz about it, and hopefully they will test it on-line.
The safest thing to do is not use pitspeed limiter, adjust your speed manually.

i with my "steady pace "managed one cut track warning and no stop go penalties ,but my ribs were sore the next day from laughing whilst on TS

Sounds like most of the action was on TeamSpeak, not the track ... I'd better get myself setup with it for Spa Assuming my internet connection can handle both at once that is - it obviously didn't handle just the race so well last week :freaked-out:

Oooh, thanks for pointing that out! It's a looong pit too, add in the elevation changes and it's gonna take some concentration to avoid a speeding violation :shock: Still, that'll be the least of my worries I'm sure :sweat:

Warren, it is the Autopit function that locks you in the pits, and not the limiter. As I said in the Team Australia RDNGP thread, I was able to run the limiter fine with no problems. All I did was turn Autopit off.

I believe that this is the case also Rhys, from what I know having auto pit on is the cause of being trapped in your pit bay

You must use the same 8 cars you did in rnd 1.

 

[Warren Dawes]

So far, this is the same cars as we scheduled last time and the same driver/car combo, except for Andrew Dawes driving the Lister (he was replaced by the reserve driver at Monza).
However, we only managed 6 cars to the starting grid last round, are we still locked into the 8 we planned to run ??

Then you must use those 6 and choose whatever other 2 cars from the ones left, but then you must use those 8 for Nurburgring.
