Rules:
If you have not entered the server and driven a few laps with fellow drivers before we go to qualifying you are to late for that session. Please think of your fellow drivers and get out on track with them, watch how they drive, you can't race with guys you have not seen drive.
We ALL brake a little differently and drive the corners differently, get used to how they drive and then we can all race more safely.
If you drop out of the server during qualifying you can return.

This is being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit.

[Rupe Wilson]

No problem Ulf,
I do like the fact that we all help each other out, whether it be installing software or a car setup, I love the fact we see the bigger picture and its not about who is the quickest per say its about having fun in a club with a group of like minded people. Language holds no barriers in the HistorX club

The question was asked about the chicane version of the track, sorry it was a bit hard to answer in the chat.
When i was testing i found the bigger cars still gained an advantage using the chicane version. i thought the lighter car would be more nimble but found the bigger cars can run the chicane a lot straighter, which could of lead to a bottle neck. The over all lap times were still very close for me either way, about 1 to 2 seconds a lap slower using the chicane. The heavy car if kept on track, probably has the advantage. But keeping it on track is the key, one little mistake and the lighter car gets it chance to shine though the twisty bits and try and pull a gap before the straight.
It can also be a bit of a challenge swapping for one car to the other for race 2, the braking distances and lines taken can be hard to get used to,,but it all adds to the surprise of who adapts quickest...
