[Lars Strijdonck]

Just bought the track... I never tried it before, never even really heard about it also before (I'm french, forgive me lol)... Damn, it's SUCH a nice track! Sooo much fun!
So count me in for sunday
My PB is @ 1.42.7 after 10/12 laps... Any idea of what a very good time would be???

Bléh 80laps or so 1:43's low i keep mis shifting in this car lol.

 

[Flavien Vidal]

Saw a guy doing 1.40.8 in an hosted practice...
I guess this is the kind of lap time to aim for... I did 1.41.6 now btw...

 

[Brad Wrenn]

Count me in.

 

[Karl Brankin]

Yes Please - sign me up for my first RD event

 

[Will Marquez]

Welcome Karl! See ya on the track

 

[Karl Brankin]

Welcome Karl! See ya on the track

Thanks long time lurker and almost joined some NKpro and rFactor races - it's just a bit easier to work out how to do it in iRacing.

Small world raced with Brad in an MX5 race yesterday !

Quick question - How does qualification work ? Is it really one at a time for 26 entries for 2 laps plus out lap That would take a while !

Sorry for being a noob !

Cheers

Everyone qualifies for the 9 min. time window. Multiple people can be on the track at once but you will only see an empty track. 2 flying laps is what you get, get up to pace fast and don't lose it on the cold tires.

 

[Will Marquez]

Yep just how William explained it. With this quali session, its set at lone qualifier, so once quali begins everyone will head on track but you will be the only one on track for an outlap and then 2 consecutive hotlaps.

 

[Lee Ross]

Is anybody hosting for praccy? If not i don't mind hosting a session as i need some laps and am bored lapping on my own.

 

[William Nowell]

I haven't put in any pratice time yet. I may host one later tonight strating around 7-8EST. Not sure what the wife has planned. If it happens I will post in the main chat.

 

[Flavien Vidal]

i did a few laps alone, but I would not mind either...

 

[William Nowell]

Not mine, but there are 2 hosted mx5-Road Atlanta sessions going on now. Both have 10 races starting around 9EST.

Host is Hampus Andersson, he is also a member of RD. Thanks Hampus.

 

[Lee Ross]

Do they require passwords?

Cheers, found it

 

[Karl Brankin]

Thanks for the replies - kind of like oval qualifying then where you don't see the others. I was picturing 26 cars on track battling it out for 2 laps

Just need to get some practice in with this combination now.

Cheers

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Sign me up plz will

 

[Lee Ross]

Are the setups open for tonights race? and i presume 4g is enough for a 17 lapper or can it be done on 2.7?

 

[Will Marquez]

Yes Lee, the setups are open for this club event. My current fuel was at 4 gal and it was enough to cover the amount of the laps for the event during practice.
