Two rounds will be 50 min races with 2 pitstops. 2.8x tyre wear and 2.8x fuel.

Is it 2.8x or 3x on the fuel, I have put up a practice server with 2.8x but can change it if its meant to be 3x.

I just put up 3x as an approx last night. I'll have to check, but I think it will be 2.8x, like it was at Spa. It will be close to that.

[Wally]

Yep, it's 2.8x fuel and tyres.

Is there meant to be an XGN server up somewhere for this?

EDIT: all good, for some reason my filter wasn't bringing anything up when I typed in "xgn"

[Joe]

I can't see any lap times in ptracker in game on the practice server. If I go to the sessions tab I see the session from one of the other open server. Talking of which, have had some awesome racing this weekend on one of Marty's servers.

Here is the stracker combo link for this rpund.

There has also been an update to ptracker, so anyone running 2.8 should get this update as it fixes the connection issue on multi server setups like mine.

Here's RSR times for the Ferrari

Hey Wally, long time no see.
Is there a spot available in the race? I haven't been able to race for the last couple of weeks/months. My internet was not working for several weeks? That is why I had to quit
Thanks

Hi Benana. Yes, there's a spot. I've sent you a PM.

This is gonna be hard work tonight doing 35 laps! When pushing I can manage around 1-2 laps before I spin off  Did one 11 lap race last night with a few others and think I only spun off once at 'race pace', so slow and steady tonight I think...

[marty]

For some reason I was thinking 22 laps but 35 will be interesting. That will be a 2 stop race I assume and should be a bit of fun. I had a good little race with Jeremey and Matthew, with Matthew getting a small  but Jeremy and I battled all the way.

Running on worn tyres then jumping back onto a fresh set is quite a nice feeling. Seems the p1 and ferrari are fairly close or at least gb got his in there amongst the times set in th lafferari as he is a quick bugger.

It seems the ferrari has a bit more potential but putting a solid lap together is a challenge, same as making sure not to get penalties during the race as its easy to go a little wide on some exits.

Hope we get a good turnout but there may be some rage quits with people getting penalties etc. 

[Joe]

Yeah I got a 10 second penalty over 11 laps, so I'm expecting one over 35. Would be nice if the number of invalid laps before a penalty could be adjusted based on the length of the race, but assume that's a fair bit of work as would require the app to connect to some kind of service to tell it how many.  Or could it just use a calculation based on number of laps?

[marty]

The trick with PLP is that if you lift off enough it wont count as a cut. If your going wide then jist lif and you should avoid getting called most of the time. If you keep it flat then your likely to both get a warning or spin off.

The only time I was getting the was when really trying to push for a time but I was going slower anyway due to overdriving. Stracker invalidated more of my laps compared to how many plp called.

The app does handle things fairly well as long as you make sure your not gaining time while off track. With the 3 warnings it will allow for a few mistakes but I think it will spice things up if some people may get themselves into trouble.

[Wally]

It's a similar deal to Spa. One 50 minute race with 2 pitstops. I'm looking forward to it because I missed the Spa round.
