Season 3 round 1 race chat: Mugello
« on: September 10, 2014, 07:50:03 PM »
3 x 7 lap sprints, with 10 minute qually sessions.

Don't forget, in round 1, everyone drives the Lotus Exige 240R Stage 3 for the whole round, to set a benchmark for car selection for the next round.

It's called "adding the strategic element" :)

Since it's reviewed every round, if you're fast, you'll drop down to the slowest cars, don't worry.
Besides, we've seen in the past that people tend to forget the strategical element a tad too easily when it comes to racing :)

Im pretty sure Dick has been fudging his pace since day 1 purely in anticipation of such a season.  ;D

All my fudged results in season 1 were due to game crashes or the good old start in pit bug, also a few times I had the bug of hitting others pushing me further back in the pack. How will cars be determined for those that miss round 1 I wonder and it may be best for everyone to also run laps on RSR in this combo so we can see where everyone is at pace wise. This way even those that miss the round there will be something we car relate back to in comparison to other guys in later rounds.

Let's just see how many 'headaches' 'computer crashes' 'knee injuries' and 'dizziness' we get tomorrow night.
   
  Judging by run at blackwood, I'll be in the same stinking car all season. Which is fine. it's quite a nice car.

I think Mr Wally mentioned what happens to car allocation when we miss a round? Same if we DNF?

You'll keep the last car you drove.

And any newbies, like reserves racing mid way through, will get "the middle car".

I can't remember. High 2:09's I think. It's on RSR.

Havent run heaps of laps, I quite like the car at Nords but it really feels odd at mugello. Think I got down to mid 2:08's but not much consistancy and am quite lost setup wise in this car. I think its more driving then setup but will need to run a few more laps to try figure it out.

Looking at the RSR times this is the quickest of the season cars here but it does feel quite awkward, should make for an interesting race as losing a second or more per lap seems quite easy with a small error.
