S11R1: Barbagallo pre-race chat

3 x 16 laps (track download)

This will be the only round with a qualifying session before race 1, which will only be short (10 mins). After that, everything will be a set, reverse grid.

On the final right-hander, make every effort to keep at least 2 wheels to the right of the left kerb.

Make sure you have the latest version of the PLP app downloaded from here.

It would be good if all tracks made anything outside of the normal racing surface have reduced grip so it would come up as a cut.

Does PLP have a tolerance for surfaces with reduced grip Wally?  I'm guessing it would have as there are different surface grip levels in AC.  Or is it a proportionate grip difference that is looked at?

Each surface is marked in the track as being valid track or not. Grip doesn't come into it. But if a surface makes your tyres dirty, it's also regarded as invalid track.

How about we don't make a fuss every time there's a bit of extra surface to use?  Let it be known, and let it go, I say.  It's getting wearisome.

OK, then just send Wally pictures of cars, cats, dogs, and anything else you can think of, so I keep myself busy with that instead of arguing about track cuts ;)

Yes, it's good enough in the context of the game's limitations. Let's talk about racing!

I've put my setup in Stracker if anyone wants a go.  Still haven't mastered this track though.  It's a tricky little bugger.

New PLP version (1.11) to download HERE.

This fixes the jump start penalties that we saw on changing from qually to race.

I think most xgn guys at least the older ones are set as admins on stracker. They can change session lengths. No need to login as admin they just need to type
/st session qtime 30
That would make qualy 30 minutes
You can also change race laps by typin

/st session rlaps 10
That would make race 10 laps, obviously you can use any number you like.

Then you just need to skip sessions and it will use the new session lengths.

I wont be home til fairly late but anyone can chamge that up. I will add all other xgn guys in as stracker admins later so anyone can change session lengths for practicing.
