The formation lap:
Ok this is a new art and we are getting the hang of it but to try to help us get better:
The goal is to have cars in the same order as above by the end of lap 1.
Please be aware of where you need to be before we start.
If you are in a tier 1 car basically race to the front.
If you are in a tier 4 or 5 car get to the back asap. Poss pull off the racing line and back off in an accelleration zone, or have an off track excursion.
Tiers 2 go at 80% race pace and let the Tier 1 cars go.
Tier 3 go at 60% pace and let Tier 2 cars go.
Once in position please say eg "Renault in position" to simplify the chat at this stage.








Club Race Concept


” Weekly Club Pro Am”


Many of us are practicing during the week for the Xbox RD F1 WC series League race. This club event is a weekly race at the same track for that week’s scheduled league race.
Who:
· League Racers wanting to practice, test setups, gauge their pace, strategy or possibly practice with less assists on this week’s circuit.​
· Club Racers wanting a clean weekly race with some fast drivers.
· New drivers wanting an experience of high quality multiplayer racing without the pressure and commitment of an official league.
What:
Event to serve as both a practice race for league racers and a place for developing drivers to get some experience and fun. The emphasis is on good fun clean racing and a supportive environment for developing drivers. Some of the more experienced drivers will share setups and track tips as well as offer some casual coaching where requested. Open to all licensed RD members (get your license today!).
How:
Format: This week will be race only with a formation lap to establish our planned starting order. 50% Race Distance, 2010 cars issued in reverse rank order (ie handicap) , Sims: Fuel and Tyre Sims on, damage and flags on. Assists: We are planning on taking the actual league races to less assists so Pit limiter, Pit box only.All others banned. WE ARE GOING MANUAL GEARS THIS WEEK.
A word on handicapping
Our goal with handicapping is to equalise drivers speed. We slow the fastest guys down by paying them the compliment of issueing a tier 5 car. The drivers who need a little extra car speed (for now) to mix it with the leaders are issued the tier 1 cars. If someone wins a race they will get a car at least 1 tier slower next time. If someone is down the field they will be given a faster car. In this way we are bringing everyone to the middle of the field. If you are racing competitively in the middle of the field you will most likely stay in a similar car. The only proviso is that there are only 12 cars layed out in 5 tiers. There may sometimes be times when drivers go up or down a tier simply because thats where their speed puts them relative to the driver line up on the day.
When:
Thursday nights at 8.45 on XBL for start at 9pm (21:00hrs)GMT+1 British Summer Time
Further Info:
RD rules will apply. This is envisaged as a regular but stand alone club event and points will not be counted to any series. Drivers of all standards are welcome however the same high standard of clean racing and courteous behaviour will be expected and required on track as in a championship race. Newer drivers will get the chance to compare their qualifying and race pace with League racers and learn from them in a positive environment.
Hosting and numbers: Envisaged that hosting will be done on a rotating basis by interested parties. If we get more than 11 drivers wanting to race we will put on two races each hosting ½ available drivers hopefully with a mix of experienced and newer drivers.
Please note: This is a new club event and your input is invited!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO INDICATE name and gamertag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in this thread if you are interested plus other input you wish to give.
Send friend request to FigjamRACER On XBL!!!
Thanks​

Note to drivers: we have taken the bold step of going for manual gears due to popular demand to have something different and more challenge this race.
Speaking realistically though: we need a full grid. If people want to race but can't/wont race in manual please make a "provisional entry" for an auto race on the thread. One of two things will happen.
1) we will run two races. One auto one manual
2) we will convert to auto if we are short of drivers to fill a manual grid.
Cheers
 
I will happilly join, absolutely gutted about missing the one last night as i felt semi competitve in comparing times! glad to see people managed to get on with the race ok!


I really dont mind manual gears, be a learning curve, but with what im already adjusting too i think it is safe to assume that its nots going to affect me as much as some (just getting used to no TCS, ABS, Racing line and a steering wheel as opposed to a controller).


I was in a red bull for the previous race, but completely understand if you hand out you car selections on previous race and I am simply given whatever is left due to missing the previous event David.

Looking forward to this one, Spa is quality!!!

david, also when we have talked about setups, you have recommended tweaking rob the engineer's fastest setup, I might be being a little dumb, but which is that? is it the low downforce one or do you mean do a lap on each setting and judge from that.

Newbie question so i apologise!

Thanks
 
Hey guys,

Busy week. Ok let's talk times for Melbourne. I gotta fly out Sunday evening so can we perhaps do the race earlier on Sunday or on Saturday afternoon instead?

I could do Saturday 5pm Sydney time or Sunday 12noon Sydney time.

I'll wait to hear the general response.

Cheers!

Sam
 
Ryan.Good we'll put you in.
Re Setups. For faster tracks I mean grab the RHS one, the fastest one low downforce and tweak.
I have a Spa setup Ill send you too to try.
Re Cars
Once we have all signups we will rank all drivers on speed and start at one end of the table handing cars out.
Actually we had a few late changes last night which was a bit confusing. We may even start a rankings system and just do a data sort on XL.
 
It's probably going to be more like two people talking and saying whose fastest, whose next fastest. Which we pretty much know.
New drivers we'll do what we've done get some times, gaps to AI legend pole, TT rankings etc and make a guess errring towards the middle teams for their first race.
Once Ive done a draft Ill post it for debate (which will be a two edged sword, saying "I'm faster than Fernando" gets you a slower car!!)
 
How have you and the team been practising for this race?

Well, my team has been pressing me to put in a lot of practice laps already, but to be honest. I have yet to turn the wheel of an F1 car since the Valencia GP. The Valencia GP was a major let down. As for not practicing yet...I have had my girlfriend with me for 3 months now and it was great. Sadly though, I had to bring her back to the airport today as her visa was coming to an end. :'( Now I will be lonely for at least three and a half month before she might be able to visit me again... :'( Also, I recently graduated and have to work as much as possible now at a temp job, while solliciting for a job that fits my degree! I guess practice will start for me today or tomorrow!

How will you cope with all of the mud which surrounds the track?

No problem, don't go off track! That's the plan anyway...

Silverstone is in the middle of some fields, what sleeping arrangments have you and your team made?

I will be sleeping in Kinky Kylie (my car).

With England having such a varied range of weather in its summer what are you hoping for, rain or sun?

I guess sun or outcast would be preferrable. But rain wouldn't be too bad either I guess. Would be a first this season!
 
Awesome...Ryan you're in the renault! add me...wayfastwhitey26 (psn) like I said we race at 10.30 est. and usually try to jump on about 5 min prior...don't like to wait too long...and we'll wait about 5 min after...if someone's running late.
