Don't forget the third race is at modern Monza.

Will we get a bit of a practice with modern Monza? I've raced it in other games but need a refresher. Was going to do a few laps last night but the Monza66 carnage runs were more fun.

Yep, there will be a 15 min qually a session. It's just Monza66 with chicanes :)

I wonder if it will be quicker to still run The Monza 66 layout and just take the pain of the 10 second penalties from the new plp app.  ;D

found out very quickly if you get a 10 penalty on the last lap, who cares?   ;D

No set grid, just a passworded server tonight.

If you only get a 10s penalty for every 3rd cut, then the full-on cutting maybe the better option.

You reckon you'll shave 3 seconds off your lap time with every cut?

Not that anyone here would abuse the cuts but I think the cut app should have the option to make it 10 seconds per cut after the warning has been used up. A drive through is probably 20+ seconds at most tracks and if someone still continues to cut after 3 warnings let their time build. After all just lifting off will avoid the cut but then that means coasting through the 1st chicane at monza would be penalty free  ::).

Wally's app is intended for use amongst people not trying to exploit it anyway and in a regular league nite someone doing blatant cuts to gain an advantage while gaming the plp app would likely be asked to not come back next week or at least get a post race DQ.

It will be interesting to look at it afterwards. In the logs/results, I see each cut and any lap time gained.

t1 alone gives you a good 5s I recon.  Possibly a lot more... :D
You need to go across straight, flat-out, mind you.

Are 'creative lines' or 'creative apexes' aloud?

Only if you don't just do them in your head.
