Gates are open at Autodromo Magione.

The weather has taken a turn for the worse in the afternoon. The morning race will be hot and clear, but then patchy rain with thunder will be developing later in the day for races 2 and 3. Grip will be down, more so in race 3, and the track will grip up more slowly. Practice sessions before races 2 and 3 will be 10 minutes, to get a feel for the conditions.

Don't go easy on us Wally.  If it's damp then it should be slippery as hell!  About time we had a change in conditions.  Excited for a wet race :)

I wonder what triggers the safety car? Is it manual?

Like the GTR needed any more help here lol.

That OSRW safety car app would be interesting to look at.

OSRW released a virtual safety car app a few weeks ago, and this one doesn't need anyone driving the safety car. I think it's awesome, even just to add a small intermission/variety to the race.

I was thinking more of a traditional safety car where people cant pass and catch the leader who would be the one setting pace, I dont see the point of a VSC as it just makes everyone drive slowly and maintain gaps so I dont see the point. Its not like there is anyone in danger on the track. The main reason that a normal safety car would be good is if there was an incident it could let those involved or that had to slow to avoid it catch back up to the pack. The VSC is like a pointless intermission in a sim IMHO.

It's not going to be that wet though. Race 2 is only marginally damp; race 3 is a bit wetter, based on the mm of rain in the forecast.

wet race on slicks, awesome

They are semi slicks, and there is no actual water. You can just say that someone is polishing the track between races tonight, carnage was already going to be high this round so this should make it better. That is better as in more carnage better. :)
