The other two-stop races are easier to work out as 2 stoppers.What I'm going to have to do here is make the fuel multiplier 1.8x, and make a rule that everybody has to pit twice (as some cars will be able to do it in 1 stop). You have to do something in the stop - add some fuel, change tyres, or both.I look forward to cutting out some of the corners on the tighter tracks to take away the short tail advantage Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: S25R1: SunBank 24 at Daytona Road Course « Reply #33 on: November 13, 2018, 05:09:57 PM » You seen the track list ab?What tighter tracks?

But saying that even in the disadvantaged cars if you stay out of trouble and finish with a live gearbox you will be at the pointy end of the field Logged Freezer RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 1296 Karma: 33 Re: S25R1: SunBank 24 at Daytona Road Course « Reply #39 on: November 13, 2018, 10:30:09 PM » Quote from: Wally on November 13, 2018, 06:16:46 PMQuote from: Joe on November 13, 2018, 05:26:09 PMi do hope others tracks make a difference with these cars. joining tonight knowing I have zero chance of keeping up with a c9 or long tail does seem a little pointlessTonight is really the odd one out.

From the times in traffic on the road section I think the more traditional tracks later in the season should be really interesting racing Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S25R1: SunBank 24 at Daytona Road Course « Reply #41 on: November 13, 2018, 11:07:47 PM » Results are up in the first post.I have adjusted my final position up by 2 places (finishing 34 laps instead of 32). I lost two laps on two separate occasions when I spun at the bus stop onto the grass, which somehow failed to register as a lap both times, thinking I had done a single 3:50 lap instead of two individual laps. I checked everyone else's lap times, and I couldn't find any other dropped laps - let me know if you think something was fishy with your position as well.

But if the rule is stay on your side for 1st 2 corners, then I am the only one who did that and the only one who got cut out and.... penalized(!?!?!) Since it is not the first time it happens to me, I'll make sure I'll stop respecting this rule from now on and zig-zag right and left like those I crashed with I am half-joking, but not completely: I kept wide the whole first corner and tight the whole second corner. When we touch I am there, on the inside curb. Keith and Jeremy go long and wide and then cut back to the inside without looking if there is somebody there. What was I supposed to do?

You came from a fair way back behind Keith, who was on the racing line past the apex by that stage (and not zig-zagging by any stretch of the imagination!), and you put the power down from the apex and ran into the back corner of Keith. The side by side rule for the opening corners is primarily to stop people from moving sideways across the track into the unsighted car next to them. You had plenty of visibility of where Keith was and what he was doing, and you could also argue that where you hit was turn 4, not 2 Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11035 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: S25R1: SunBank 24 at Daytona Road Course « Reply #44 on: November 13, 2018, 11:32:30 PM » Also, notice that I'm going to do opening lap penalties as a 15 second post-race time penalty for the next round instead of ballast. It's just too hard to find a fair amount of ballast for each of the 4 cars that fairly penalises them all.
