Count me in, Craig!

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Count me in, Craig!

Always Goose, welcome aboard

 

[Celtic Pharaoh]

Did not know there was DRS option. Do we have any rules for it's usage in RD?

Read the second post in the thread for Craig's explanation on its use. Its not a rule as such but more of a gentlemanly agreement between drivers.

 

[Zeljko "Goose" Gusatovic]

With regards to DRS ...we will have a "Gentlemen's" agreement with the use of "DRS" but if you find it confusing you are very welcome to op out of the agreement, I certainly do not want to put a barrier up in front of new drivers wanting to join this event. Nobody will know that you have opted out ..just do not download the app and say nothing

Basically what I am trying to say is "seasoned" drivers will most likely op into the DRS agreement and use this app .. ACRL DRS (RaceDepartment Flavour) 1.3b Download.

Others may find the whole process confusing and op out, this is fine and certainly not a problem for anybody, or a condition to enter this event.

NOT SURE how to use DRS? ..it is very easy, when DRS lights up on the car wheel, just press your mapped button (or keyboard key) you will know when you have successfully enabled DRS, because a green light will come on in top right of your car wheel ..that is it, welcome to DRS it will turn off by itself. To map a button or keyboard just go to your "controls" settings option and look for DRS.

There seems not to be any DRS zones on this track. Corrected, the entire track is open for DRS.
How do we manage that?

If there are no DRS zones then you will not be able to enable it

 

[Zeljko "Goose" Gusatovic]

If there are no DRS zones then you will not be able to enable it

My point being that you can use DRS everywhere on the track. There aren't specified DRS zones. The amber light on the steering wheel is always on.

So you are saying that the whole circuit is a DRS zone?

Exactly!

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Exactly!

Sorry Goose have not tested it ..if that is the case I may have to disable it ..something will be done

an open wing wouldn't make you slower in corners? because you will lose downforce at the rear end and it will just spin easier?
but if all the track is DRS enabled ... then you could use it exactly as you exit the corner ... this might be tricky.

 

[Anders Jensen]

I'm in!

 

[Raresch]

hi @Craig Dunkley. the practice server has the Monza circuit. Is there a problem with the server as it was with the yesterday race?

Sorry never changed it back ..had lots of server issues yesterday

 

[Medilloni]

In please Craig

I love this car 'cos it handles like a dream, but I can't get a quick lap out of it

 

[Chris Down]

Regrettably I'll have to sign out. Have fun everyone!

 

[Manos Papangleou]

In (maybe)

 

[Zeljko "Goose" Gusatovic]

@Craig Dunkley did you find out about DRS zones?

 

[Craig Dunkley]

@Craig Dunkley did you find out about DRS zones?

No not done any practice yet, I am sure we will figure something out on TS

 

[Craig Dunkley]

OK I am there now, you are very correct, the whole course is a DRS hot zone ...I say we just use DRS as and when we like. The only other option is to disable it and that would not be realistic either. Had I know I would not have chosen this track, but it is to late to change now.

I am open to suggestions, it makes no difference to me

 

[Kek700]

Put me down please Craig, out all day hope to get back in time, pc in bits, hope to get that
done as well. so please forgive if i cannot make it.
have not raced this week at all, and seeing such a depleted field, nothing worse than a low number
turn out. will have to practice with the car as i go.
