INFORMATION & BASIC RULES

• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
• All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• You do not need to nominate which car you will drive, but should specify in which class you would like to drive when signing up.

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Business as usual! Thanks to @Roy Magnes for putting it together and also thanks to @Michael Rudolf for signing up pre-thread!

 

[Thomas Hoelzl]

LMP2 In Please!

 

[Jan Larsen]

LMP2 please, or GTE if not enough signups in LMP2

 

[SwannyUK]

I'll give this a bash please, LMP2

 

[Herlev]

In with LMP2 please, but can switch to GTE if needed

 

[SwannyUK]

Can I be added to the PM please for the password?

 

[Roy Magnes]

Can I be added to the PM please for the password?

May I get some help with this one, @Jimlaad43 ?

 

[SwannyUK]

I might be added already thinking about it, I'll have to dig through my conversations.

Nope, can't see it so need to be added

 

[SwannyUK]

Have we got a practice server up for this by the way?

Can you remove and re-add me? I've had this problem before - lists me as being in the conversation but I can't find it.

Either that or just pm me

 

[Herlev]

Unless there is a sudden surge in sign-ups, should we consider switching to a single class race?

 

[SwannyUK]

Full layout or 12hr road course version? Haven't got a clue what the difference is anyway

 

[Michael Rudolf]

Not the biggest fan of the LMP2 but I‘ll prepare a setup as I don’t see enough sign ups coming in as well to get the GTE class filled

 

[Roy Magnes]

Unless there is a sudden surge in sign-ups, should we consider switching to a single class race?

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. Looks like LMP2 is the most popular class so far, so that might be our class for the race

I think it could be the advertisement around the track that differs, the road itself should be the same

Thanks Roy, had a quick test earlier and noticed the cones vanish on the full version which I was using for reference

Still trying to get used to the braking on this car and the lack of ABS after years of mainly GT3 racing.

Might also be some behind the pit-boxes changes? As in trailers etc. Or is that just Nürbs?

Thanks to whoever have been updating the thread here. I have now passed 125hrs of work-time in September and including 90 min travelling almost every day... I haven't really been much home the last few weeks.
I'll set up the server now! (from my work laptop... heh)
I hope that things calms down a bit soon. At the same time, I am paid by the hour, and with the life status change earlier this year, money has become quite important... but that's for another time.
