Monza

Monza is a true cathedral to speed, unmatched around the world for its sense of history and passion, fuelled in part by its long history and also the fanaticism of the Italian fans, the tifosi. With the steadily decaying remnants of the high speed banked circuit providing a backdrop through the...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium

Nice one Hank.

Just to note it's 2 x 25 minute races. 1st race finish is the 2nd race grid.

 

[dbx71]

Oh hell yes! I'm in. Finally, a race I can join! Looking forward to it.

 

[KFMaster]

I am in too!
For us Rookies (first year racers, right?), Mercer without BOP?

 

[rooim_87]

Count me in please any car recommendations for a fellow rookie

Sure we can keep that going Dai, until the summer season is over.

Mercer is probably the easiest to drive.

 

[robthesquare]

I hate that I won't be able to make it this week. Seems like a fun format!

 

[rooim_87]

Do we have to download all the cars to be able to Race ??

Yes.

 

[rooim_87]

Do we have any discount code ?

Hey, since it doesn't seem like you guys have someone to crash in T1, I'd like to sign in, preferably with the merc. Is there any base setup, or is the setup in ac is driveable?

In my limited experience, the default setup is pretty good. I made minimal changes (alignment, tire pressures, anti-roll bars and the like). The Merc also seems to tolerate low wing settings without making the car undrivable.

Thanks Brian!

Now if the idea of BOP for us is to keep the racing close, should we not apply the BOP to driver instead of cars? For example, if we give 30 BOP pints to Fulvio, then he will less likely to have start from the end of the field by skipping quali and still win the race
Just joking!

Not enough BOP for that lad!

last race pace was really close on the 1st stint . im ok with bop for the winners but like 3kg 1st/ 2kg 2nd / 1kg 3rd with a max of 30 . i did a small championship with the mx5 where was +50 every win, i ended with a tankmiata +150 and was not fun :'D so avoid putting broken bops

 

[Interslice]

The BOPs are just to keep variety in the field. I think it makes the racing more interesting, the more cars that are out there. Particularly in championships, drivers will sway heavily towards the fastest cars.

 

[Medilloni]

All in favour of BoP for cars - would love to drive the Lambo with it's superb turn-in, but for drivers, definitely no.

Fulvio and the many others ahead of me (dammit) are to learn from and try to improve; cripple the winners is no way to compete. Just imo

That was a joke as my disclaimer said.
Absolutely NOT in favor of BOP for drivers!

I asked for no BPO for the Mercer only because I had spent time getting to know it driving wise and would like to avoid to learn another car now. As a newbie, I few learning is better with sticking with a minimum number of cars first. For as much as it is fun to switch to new car, I really miss driving the Ginetta, after practicing in it allot. Very forgiving car for a newbie. I hope going forward we stick to these GTM cars for a while.
