Not sure if they will race the chicane or not but those sausage kerbs coming off a bike couldn't be too nice to go over with your butt.
They've built a new chicane for the bikes now, no one uses the old section anymore. ;)

I didn't choose the version and simply linked to show the versions used in the real races there which was the admins reason for this version. I have no issues with chicane, the only way to overcome your issues with it is to take it on not avoid it.  ;)

Wally said "Carrera' Cup, not "Super" Cup. ;)
(I'm not the only one who doesn't read posts fully)

Ok here you go Carrera Cup France in Spain.  ;)

[youtube]lGIuXFjS6N0[/youtube]

Porsche Supercup is the top level in these cars, carrera cup is generally the lower levels below the FIA top tier supercup. Only bikes raced the moto layout but I think last years motogp had the chicane layout after there was a death on the moto section in a lower class. Not sure if they will race the chicane or not but those sausage kerbs coming off a bike couldn't be too nice to go over with your butt.


Nice video and good commentary. He says a few times how you have to be careful about picking up the throttle.

Did some practice races last night here and am amazed its actually harder to pass here then Paul Ricard was, not sure if its dirty air but getting into a good position against someone that doesnt make a mistake is quite an effort. Best chance is if someone royally stuffs the last chicane and you dont, its a tricky bugger though but does give the best real chance to make a pass by nailing that and getting a good run to t1.

Joes practice server seems setup rather odd, 60 min practice, 15 min qualy and 32 lap race. Yet you dont even have time to finish a qualy lap as the session ends at 0 and from that point you seem to have less then 10 seconds to add fuel to go to the grid. A server with such long sessions to me seems fairly pointless trying to save time between the sessions by cutting this time down to the bare mimimum to the point where most wont even make the grid for a race that will last 1 hour.  ::)

I only ever intended doing 5-6 laps, to experience tyre warm up. ;)

Having two practice servers is probably quite confusing. If you're allowing us to use your servers again maybe I'll just switch it back.

But yeah, no wait time was not intentional.

Dont think its all that confusing, mine is setup with tyre blankets, 100% grip, short qualy plus race mostly as Id rather race people then run longer sessions. Yours has full length sessions with no tyre blankets so people that want to do long runs can go in there and also test without tyre blankets. Its the way ROOZ run their league practice servers and works pretty well I think. A few guys have complained here when we were racing in the practice server so having a second server with the longer sessions isnt a bad thing.
