IMO, diddums.

Given GTAL is on Saturday I'm sure it wont be too much of a problem...

Meh, one event clashes with MoE quali as well. I guess by the number of signups here the clashing sessions will be a bit bare

Dates are subject to amendment guys, I'll take a look and see whether things can be re-arranged for the clashes.

Thanks for pointing them out.

SO5R, FE3 and BL1 will certainly be fun to watch on the stream if it's at least half as eventful as last season.

I would off preferred new tracks for this season instead of tweaking last years track selection.

Just out of interest, with the announcement of the Rockingham circuit addition. Would there be potential to include this (if it is released in time) to the calender, either by dropping one of the tracks, or by possibly adding an extra round.

Definitely yes. If Rockingham appears before the end of the season then the last round will be replaced by Rockingham.

One thing I forgot to state. I believe that Rockingham has to be paid for (don't quote me on this). If that is this case will the above statement still stand?

It might be an idea if you put something about it on the calendar now, so next to the AS3r put Rockingham if released or something. That way your tracks are covered and you don't have any sad S2 faces.

Just a thought. I know that this conversation isn't really necessary as it has allot of 'ifs' involved.

I thought Rockingham was coming out in the s3 pack? Or am I mistaken. Meaning you need to pay for it.

Yeah good point, thanks, I'll append it to the calendar.

This is idea, or atleast add random new corners to tracks to make things interesting, buck the trend, be more different

Thanks for the suggestion, but the tracks will stay as they are, albeit with Rockingham added SHOULD it appear.

Hope this clarifies things.

No. I've done enough of that already

The tracks were chosen because we wanted to a) visit all 6 LFS tracks, and b) emulate touring car racing - BTCC has tracks from 1.3 to 2.3 miles while the WTCC has tracks from 1.6 to 3.6 miles, therefore using KY3, FE4 AS5 etc wouldnt have been ideal. Gold is the better FE track, BL1 is probably better than BL1R, so you're left with a choice of only two from WE and KY, SO5R was chosen for something different than SO Long, ok while maybe AS6 or 7 could be used instead, AS3R will be an interesting challenge

It is more a problem of us NDR guys: Deko maybe won't commentate those days + at least two of the NDR drivers have to be at the Qualifying to help out

Well not all of us failures will get in on the days, so it's more than likely it'll be ok for NDR.

Quote from Joe_Keaveney :

Definitely yes. If Rockingham appears before the end of the season then the last round will be replaced by Rockingham.

That is looking very unlikely, IMO. The physics patch isn't even out yet so I don't think that we will get Rockingham until May.

Quote from Wilko868 :

Except for some of us have to race in both..

Well, the GTAL Q1 isn't mandatory AFAIK, you can still take part to Q2 if you couldn't do Q1, and the other way around, can't you?

Or you can change the dates, so someone that wants to take part in both doesn't have a disadvantage from missing a qualifying session...

That is correct.
