5th gear (?) at Barcelona in 1997(?) He still came 2nd

Dunno if anyone else wants to fill in the rest?

Anyways, i am personally against dumbing the sport down in terms of H-shifters. Just bring back ground effect. Or stick massive fans on the cars to suck them to the ground.

Its a matter of reliability. If Vettel had the Brawn last year he would of destroyed Button imo. And this year doesn't seem to of got off to a good start either

Quote from samjh :Actually you're right. Q3 qualifiers have to race on the tyres they used to set their fastest Q3 lap, so we could possibly see a lot of Q3 drivers getting stuck in traffic after their first and early tyre stop.



The smaller mass is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that their flywheel system can affect the car's handling adversely. The flywheel is a heavy mass rotating at tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. The gyroscopic effect could possibly cause unwanted stability.

The force would be equal and in all directions. If it was a big massive hammer you'd have a point but it's just a disc spinning smoothly.

My reply in red

Quote from R.Kolz :Bad start for TDRT in the season. Looked promising until we got damage in a lag accident. The flip and end of race 45 mins. before race finish.
We try again next round at Kyoto.

Before round 2, there are some rules league admins might want to have a second look at:
K 1.1: SC laps announcement
A 3.1: Wind announcement
Nothing was announced 24 hours before the race, maybe there´s no need for this rule.

As you all know, DWB isn't around anymore. This was usually something he did while i organised streaming, servers etc. I simply didn't give myself enough time to get everything done with the extra workload from the test race too, so by the time i remembered the post race breifing it was the morning of the race and i had to sort out the tracker which was giving us some problems.

C 1.1: Skins
There can only be two options according to the rules: A correct one or a wrong one. If you feel that a correct skin is very important, personally I don´t, you need to punish all teams with a wrong skin..
My suggestion: Think about changing this rule and give the teams some credit here, possibly a post race warning only.

The skins are very important, especially with a stream. I did give a pre race warning about skins. If i missed any then it is purely by mistake.

G 4: Race re/start conduct - tire warming allowed incombination with
K 4: SC - tire warming NOT allowed.
I can´t see a point in having two different rules were the race situations are about the same.
But: In case you don´t want to allow tire warming under SC periods, you need to force drivers on the server to do so, otherwise take this rule off the book again. It can´t even get post-race protested acc. to the rules, it looks like.

It should be allowed in both, i didn't spot that tyre warming rules were there twice, this will be changed before round 2.

K 3.1: Pit closed
I wondered how some teams got a lap back yesterday, as they all of sudden were to be found in between the leading two cars and the car on 3rd place. It´s a guess only, but I think this "pit exit closed" doesn´t work the way it should.

The Race Director application wasn't working well at all yesterday, which is why the very final SC period went so horribly wrong.

J 1: Max. 3 driver changes / 6 for the 8 hours
In general, I can´t see the reasoning for this rule. Fact is, it kills all pitstop flexibility and forces the teams to go at least 1 hour stints or a driver to do a double-stint. It basically forbidds shorter then 1 hour stints, which btw. isn´t always possible to do with the FXR, like on a track like BL on r3r3 fx.. 4 driver changes would be better I think. XRR teams wouldn´t like to see a rule like: "Min. 3 driver changes" either on a 4 hours race.

I disagree, long and short stints are still capable. I think it also adds more to the endurance aspect of the series

K 2.4: "When the SC crosses the line on the first full SC period lap, all lapped cars between the leader and the last lead-lap car will be instructed by the race marshals to pass the leader and proceed to the rear of the queue, maintaining relative position."
"Adapted from Formula 1 a ... this very rule came from.

Yesterday the gap from 5th (Error) to 6th (MoS) was 9 seconds only.
5th to 10th position was about 20 seconds only.
Then the SC came and 5th ( 4th as well ) was lucky to be inbetween 2nd and 3rd, the last car on the leading lap.
This rule gave a few teams a + 1 lap present and I think thats one of the worse rules I´ve ever seen in racing. It´s "a pure luck rule" to be on a lucky spot and doesnt really motivate any team to let a car pass under blue flag, does it? AFAIR this rule was made and later on modified to make it easier for the leading teams not to have to battle with backmarkers on a SC restart.
Did it work yesterday? No, it didn´t.
Only 1st,2nd,3rd didn´t have a blue flagged car in front. 4th way back with a + 1 lap present, then 5th position with loads of backmarkers in front, but also presented a +1 lap...
What I mean here is: Let the leading teams battle backmarkers on a SC restart or give ALL teams not on the lead lap this + 1 lap present. I´m not sure if I´m the only one thinking this rule misses its point completly the way it is at this moment.
And with 3 teams overtaking under SC period like yesterday, illegally re-gaining their race positions, this very rule the way it is now is not at all to handle online by admins, I´m afraid.

Expect a big change to this rule for round 2.

I hope you can use some of my comments here.

Quote from Melvyn :Include the following in your protest
• LAP: 106 (for us)
• CAR: 24
• Sector: T1
• dangerous maneuver, hitting us and sends us out on the track

The driver of #24 had a lack of awareness of his surroundings and should of given more room to #21. Instead #24 continued to head towards the racing line in the braking zone which sent #21 into a spin. DT issued to car #24
