With a longer circuit, this round sees the format change to two 8 lap races. Points are adjusted accordingly so that the overall round is still worth the same number of points as a three race round. Track download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SuExn5YKGBCdi2hxyp9r8DdKj_-mEnRmWeather is a cool 12 and 13 degrees, moderate winds.

My AC ping on ADSL was in the 70's, and when I went to the NBN, it only dropped to the 60's, which I thought was a bit odd and crappy. I'm in Adelaide and the server is in Sydney. I was advised by Internode to try a VPN, which I did (PrivateInternetAccess connected to Sydney), and sure enough, my ping dropped to low 30's. Speedtest shows upload/download speeds aren't really impacted by the VPN either.
It's because I have less hops now between me and the server using the VPN (which doesn't say a lot for Internode's switching infrastructure - unless that's Telstra's problem?).

A new motorsport touring car series is coming to Australia - TCR. Many current and ex Supercar drivers and teams are involved. From https://www.tcraustralia.com: The TCR regulations, formulated by former World Touring Car Championship manager Marciello Lotti, were developed in 2014 as a cost-effective touring car racing alternative.
Eligible cars include all front-wheel drive C-Segment hatchbacks or sedans, powered by production–based turbocharged petrol or diesel engines with a capacity of up to 2-litres.
There are currently four internationally-sanctioned TCR Series competing around the world, plus 12 national or regional series utilising the TCR regulations as their main rule book.
Manufacturers with cars currently homologated to TCR Series rules around the world include Audi, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, Renault, Subaru and Volkswagen, among others.
TCR Series rules stipulate that fully-fledged factory owned entires are prohibited, however, car manufacturers are encouraged to support its cars entered by professional or private teams.
The category has produced some of the most breath-taking, close and exciting motor racing, thanks to its level playing field amongst a wide-range of car manufacturers from around the globe. The racing will be broadcast on SBS. SBS’s coverage of TCR will begin on Saturday, 18 May at 2pm, with one race to feature on the one hour show on Saturday, while Sunday’s broadcast will showcase two back-to-back races and run from 1pm – 3pm on 19 May.

https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/05/06/first-tcr-australia-test-completed-at-winton/This could be an interesting series, less boring than Supercars. "There were 12 cars on track in total, the others being the two Wall Racing Honda Civics, Melbourne Performance Centre’s Audi RS3 and Golf, and the Giulietta Veloces run by Garry Rogers Motorsport and Ashley Seward Motorsport. GRM’s two Renault Meganes are also still on their way to Australia and, like the second Astra, will arrive this week."

Tricky one: Seanus just passed Brad, but then braked when very close to Brad who did move a little towards Seanus. Wheels touched and Seanus went off, but I’ll judge that to be a racing incident because Brad probably didn’t have time to react when Seanus braked so soon after passing.Update: 30kg penalty for Brad. Race 2Bird ran into the back of AGK – 30kg penalty. In the same place as Bird, Bueller ran into the back of Killa – 30kg penalty. Brad ran into the rear wheel of Bird under brakes. Although Bird was starting to turn in, Brad wasn’t far up enough – 30 kg penalty. Race 3Simone ran into the back of Brad – 30kg penalty. Season Standings1. Kcender87, 129 2.

Dave had left some room; Russ was rejoining; it wasn’t one party’s clear fault, so a racing incident. Bacchulum turned in a bit too soon; Guybrush went a bit too straight; again it wasn’t one party’s clear fault, so a racing incident. Same corner, similar incident between Joe and Freezer; again a racing incident. Race 2Bradc ran into the back of AGK and spun him – 30 kg penalty ballast for next race. Race 3DaveO and Mael had a wheel to wheel contact that ended in tears; racing incident. Guybrush spun after putting a wheel in the grass and collected Kcender – racing incident.

I've changed my mind... I'm just going to keep it simple, with no restrictor or ballast.
I'm going to try a 3 tier restrictor system in the upcoming season. After every round, drivers will be divided into 3 tiers by their fastest lap times. Drivers in the top tier will have more restrictor, the middle tier less, and the bottom tier 0. The goal is to compress the field a bit and give closer racing.
As an example, the top tier might have 50% restrictor, the middle tier 25% and the bottom tier 0 (I have to determine the real numbers after more testing). Everyone starts with 25% restrictor. As you go up or down the tiers, your restrictor can go up or down by 25%, but you won't get more than 50%.
For example, after round 1, the top tier will all be on 50%, the middle tier all on 25%, and the bottom tier all on 0.
Then, after round 2, lets say someone who had 0 restrictor ends up in the top tier - their restrictor will go up by 25 to be 25%.
If you had 50% restrictor but still finished in the top tier, your restrictor will stay at 50%.
If you had 50% restrictor and ended up in a lower tier, your restrictor will go down by 25. And so on.
