I'm with sky, but only cause we can't get virgin in our area...yet. But they seem to be putting in fibre at the moment, so I might have more options soon.

But I've not had any issues with sky, but doesn't mean I won't in the future.

I think Boothy meant lapping them, not racing them.

^ This if people are racing for position the last thing you want is a guy blocking you through there who needn't be.

blue flags, move out of the way seems to work.

If you champs don't want cup drivers racing, just say so. I'm finding it hard to know if you do or don't .

 

[Matthew Booth]

I have no problems with you cup guys racing with us but around Hungary is a no for me tbh It's just going to cause unnecessary issues. With other tracks there is more then 1 line to lap someone around a corner with Hungary it's just follow the leader essentially and just going to end up with someone crashing into the back of a cup guy because they brake for a corner we wouldn't.

 

[Daniel Smissen]

There is no setup changes with one shot qualifying, you just pick an engineers setup that's it.

i wish this would happen in our league make it more even haha

My Race Edit

 

[Peter Hooper]

This is just racing surely.. you have all sorts of things to deal with at any race and lapping cars is one of them.

Providing drivers are careful I don't see whay there would be an issue... the Cup guys who want to 'help' fill the Champ grid are well aware not to cause issues and I am sure would get out of the way as soon as a blue flag came up... and providing the lapping driver is equally careful incidents should be avoided. You deal with whoever is on the the track at any given time and everyone has the same issues to deal with so it should even itself out.

Alternatively you could just drive the race with 5 or 6 on the grid and be done with it

Tell all cup drivers to sign up!

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was built in 1991 and began hosting the Spanish Grand Prix that same year. Construction also coincided with the Olympic Games scheduled to take place in Barcelona the next year, where the circuit acted as the start and finish line for the road team time trial cycling event.

The circuit itself is 4.655 km (2.892 mi) long and features 16 corners. When first used, overtaking was frequent as cars could follow closely through the last two corners and slipstream down the long straight. As aerodynamic balance became more critical, this overtaking method drastically decreased as the cars were unable to follow each other through the fast final corner due to turbulence created by the leading car. The 2007 season saw the first of the two final sweepers replaced with a slow chicane in an effort to improve overtaking. However, the redesign has not yet shown any effect. Because so much testing is done at this circuit, Formula One drivers and mechanics are extremely familiar with it. This has led to criticism that drivers and mechanics are too familiar with Catalunya, reducing the amount of on-track action.

Lap Record: 1:21.670 (Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 2008)

Illegal overtake? I took the inside line, took the place and closed you off as is my right to, no one forced you to stay around the outside, if I was you I would of braked earlier and cut back, we had a similar situation couple years back when Dan reported me at Austin and I made the same case, no action was taken because I had made the pass.

 

[crashtobefast]

Just with reference to Mattias' complaints. We generally say that if the person gives the position back or loses more time than the person they hit, no penalty will be given. And I think that was the case for the two incidents that it applies to.

 

[Jamie-Lee Mayers]

*Incident involving cars 3 and 7 is under investigation*
*Incident involving cars 1 and 6 are under investigation*
*Incident involving cars 2 and 6 is under investigation*
*Incident involving cars 6 and 15 is under investigation*

You pushed me wide...
