@Church/Stevie...do you have a planned strategy for today's practise? Mostly wondering if you've decided on what track(s) format we'll be running? If only one track I want to set my gears up for that track or should I go with general purpose "suits" all" track gear ratios?
Cheers Parcells. Small chance I won't make it to the Clio warm up tonight, but deffo there for the GT event. Have a meeting this evening. Yes, on a Sunday.
Tune sent Poidsly. If you like it and/or wish to recieve any additional tweaks let me know, although other than gearing its skeptical I'll try to tweak this much more???
The next tune I send will be for today's Tsukuba race. The first tune was geared for Silverstone International.
I was quick but started on pole which made all the difference for me. During the partice laps prior to the race, I was not able to pass a number of the guys so it all depends on starting position. Had I started mid pack, I would not have been so fast
2. Sim Damage will be enabled. (For the Tyre Degradation)
3. Handicaps will be enabled (See below for more information)
4. Each race night will consist of one, 25 lap race
5. You must make at least one pit stop per race.
6. Your lowest (AMOUNT TBC) race points will be dropped from your final score.

8. All cars must have there racing number displayed on the Official Racing board available on steviegers S/F
9. While pitting you must use the FULL entry road and exit road. You must also say when you are entering or exiting the pits. Failure to use the full pit entry and exit road will result in a 10 seconds penalty to be added on your final race time.
NB: The rules above may change / Added to before the season starts. If there are any changes I will highlight which ones and why.
Handicap information:

Great racing in room B last night...with times on par with room A it would seem ...mid 1:02's to high 1:03's....very little contact which was nice to see and none were dropped due to damage either(I think)...its shaping up to be a fun series 8)
Yesterday’s shakedown event at Tsukuba went well for GGG Motorsports as it was great to see the guys complete with the other drivers in room B to really see where our development had taken us. “It was nice to see that the hard work the teams have put into the cars paid off with some string performances” stated Grim. The cars were really competitive and we are looking forward to an exciting season. We still have a bit of work to do on a couple of the cars but we should be in good shape for the opening event next week.
A few weeks ago the team spent some time at Circuit de Catalunya for some initial test runs of the cars. It was great to see the cars on the track.
Now that the pre-season testing has finished up, the team is spending some off time in Hawaii over the next few days to relax as we get ready for an exciting season.

Sure is Mapo:
Tsukuba (Full) 30 laps
Some really good racing in Room A tonight lads cheers!!
How did room B go?
Great race in room B aswell. Very clean from what I can hear.
Also how does everyone feel about the room Placements?
Was a drive overly fast and needs to be in Room A or did you find yourself really struggling and think you should be in room B?
Don't forget though there are handicaps in this event when it starts next week.
I was quick but started on pole which made all the difference for me. During the partice laps prior to the race, I was not able to pass a number of the guys so it all depends on starting position. Had I started mid pack, I would not have been so fast
Added 1 new Rule that is valid for the whole season:
9. While pitting you must use the FULL entry exit road. You must also say when you are entering or exiting the pits.
Failure to use the full pit entry and exit road will result in a 10 seconds penalty to be added on your final race time.
Good to have that cleared up regardng the pits. Thanks
Soz, did not get back from my meeting until 8:20.
Room placement - as I put my time in late in the day, not sure where you want me.
My next 4 Sundays looking good. No meetings.
@parcells - thanks a million
Is next weeks 30 las or 25 like it states in the rules?
Room A Poids!
@Grim There was a bit of confusion about the pits in Room A. No worries though thats why we wanted to run a Shakedown of things.
Everything should be set for next week now. I just hope the teams and Privateers can resolve any issues with there cars before hand.
jDRT have no such issues and will just be partying hard for the next week!
It says 30 Grim
I see that on the schedule however rule 4 states all races are 25 laps.
It will be 30 Laps next week it's one of the shorter tracks and it helps mix it up with the tyres
I could not even get into a lobby...
On my friends list it was saying you where playing something else boss at race time :(
I have just managed to pull my arse out of the back of my head...................CHURCH
