New version of PLP app will be MANDATORY for this race, because we'll try the new start lights included in the app that allow jump starts, with a 20 second post-race penalty.

Read about the new start procedure here: http://xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=758.msg24872#msg24872

This racedepartment really shucks when it comes to downloads.  I'm speeding along at 5(five) kB/s.  Out of ~10MB/s available bandwidth on my side, that is.  Disgrace.  I'll chuck it up on S3 in a few days, once it's finished (and I'm back at home)

I was downloading bridgehampton (or whatever is the correct spelling) at like 50Mb/s... so maybe it is not their fault ;)

Wally 1 thing Im seeing with this track and have noticed it here before is that cut track doesn't seem to work on last chicane, you can go 4 tyres on sand left of sausage curb second half of chicane and its valid. I know on the long version of this track the other chicane is very strict but this one always has been very soft and allows massive cuts there without registering.

This is only a fun run but I think maybe we may need to modify the surface ini there so its not abused so much though not a huge deal for a fun run still Id really rather run on the track but others may chose another line there. Here is whats considered a valid line at the chicane and seems to be the extra bit of concrete before the sand must be marked valid and not dusty.

Wooah, that's a nice cut!  I was in two minds as to whether to keep all tyres or only two on the track side of the red bollard.

Is it any quicker though?  I find those bollards throw you around a bit if you take them at the wrong angle.

Oh well, if everyone can do it it's fair game I suppose.

That looks like a typical "concrete being valid track" scenario that a lot of tracks have. I won't bother with any fix just for this fun run. You can run the risk of the kerbs bouncing your car around :)
