• It will auto load Heat 2 I have no control over that.
• Events should be no longer than 50 minutes for both heats.
• I will set the timeout to 2 minutes after the first person has crossed the line.
• Teams will be allowed. (It will be the case of picking another driver to make the team up and I will do the points after the race).
• Events will be once every 2 weeks and start at 8.30pm UK time.
• This will be open to all Licensed Members.

Info I need from people interested in signing up
Do you want to allow all assists, or just set ones, if so what ones?
Driving/braking line will be turned on as I use it.

How do you want to handle connection issues?
I am thinking allow 10 minutes for connection issues, so that is 1 hour in total, but I would like to hear your ideas. I will open the lobby 10 / 15 minutes before the event starts.

What does everyone think to this?

Absolutely, I forgot to mention that as the series is already in progress any changes to the rules should be by unanimous approval.

 

[Gaz]

Tom I am going to copy your post into the clio signup post, so it is in 2 places

Have we had any thoughts on allowing stepped upgrades to our cars? I think it wouldn't be a terrible idea to allow installation of parts like Suspension, brakes, tranny, etc. Just as long as we don't allow engine upgrades. Wouldn't be difficult to police either as if we say, for example, everyone is allowed to install a race suspension for the next event- then we would know exactly what PI everyone will be with that part installed and you can always limit the max HP in the private race settings to the stock HP of the engine to make sure that no-one touches their engines. Also, allowing a Race transmission and upgrading to the race clutch decreases the shift time of the computer driver and negates some of the disadvantage that people who can't race with manual clutch have because of the computer's shift times.

So what does everyone think to this?

It's good idea really to put upgrades onto the cars, but you can change a lot of things to get the same PI. I think the stock PI is 394 but I'm not certain on that without checking. Maybe if cars were allowed up to 400, then this eliminates most of the engine upgrades but still allows for the handling upgrades. It means you can have 6 PI to play around with however you want.

I dont think we should change half way through a series! Maybe if we set up a Clio sport 197 cup after and allow handling upgrades to that

 

[Dan Smith]

I dont think we should change half way through a series!

Good point.

 

[Steve Freeman]

Im with Chris, why change it mid season? I dont know about you guys but its been great so far, close great racing. Maybe for future series would be good but I vote to leave it as it is.

 

[Steve Freeman]

[Chris Bell]

Its all a work.in.progress at the end of the day, we are all stilo learning what will give us the best racing thers lots of time for trial and error, lets have fun with it.
