No mandatory pit stops.

But keep an eye on fuel

Seems like option A up to now

Option A works for me as well.    

 

Also if anyone wants to get some practice in, I have a room open so feel free to pop in.

A is ok, but giving Cobra, Church, jonny and Church a 1 second head start I'm not sure anyone would catch them.

Is Church running twice? :-) Man, I wish I was in town for this. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Good luck to everyone.

I think a 2 second roll off, but don't know if it should be fastest at the back or front. We ran some Laps last night and the 2 sec roll off worked just fine. If you want to keep it closer for longer b would be the choice. For the qualy lap will you run collisions off and win by lap time?

Fitzy does have a point. It would pretty much make the fastest guys the winners right from the start. Unless we split people by times in buckets and score buckets individualy. Say 4-4:09 in one bucket, 4:10-4:19 in 2nd bucket, 4:20-4:29 3rd bucket, 4:30+ 4th bucket.

Hello,

I think, that we should take B! We all know, that in a 1,5 hrs race it is not the first corner or first round for winning.

So if we - the slow one's - are running our race and hold our line - that is, what I learned from those "older" racers: it is not good to make experiments or trying to let someone pass -, those aliens will have enough room, choices and pace to overtake us safely. I know, that it is stress to see a guy in the rearmirror, who is flying to you, but this guy is experienced enough.

JDan makes a great point. This isn't the 'B' room, where newer guys seem to drive like they're racing against the AI is season play with no damage on, diving into into ever corner at full speed and using the car in front as a brake. Church, Fitzy, KC, Jonny, etal. are all awesome AND PATIENT drivers that live by the policy that any contact is the overtaking drivers fault, and thus, they only pass safely after they've figured our what the guy in fronts tendencies are and calling out their pass intentions. Advice to slower drivers (like me) - drive your race, hold your lines- the good drivers know how to navigate though traffic cleanly and will get through you just fine st the appropriate pace on the track where passing makes sense.

If we do buckets, based on Cooter's suggestion, please have more than a 1 second delay.  That starting gride is very packed at this track

You can do individual roll off as well grim.

How about 2 Buckets.

Group A = Slower guys with 1 second delay

10 Second delay

Group B go with no delay.

 

Organize buckets when people are in the room who is faster and slower. Still do the flying lap though.

Church I think the delay should be throughout the feild, that 2nd turn is tight, a group of cars going into it together is asking for trouble. Maybe some practice starts to experiment?

Keep the roll off for both groups IMO. If the gap between the two groups is possible then do that though.

Not sure on two rooms. Just depends on who turns up.

The plan with the room will be C but with a 2 min Gap from the fastest guys to the slower guys.

Same here gunny. Hit some barriers at the first chicane then twenty minutes later the wheel lost connection and hit the second chicane.  Limped it to the pits, came back out but the car was junk. Still had some fun. Thanks guys.

I think that I was the last one left in Room A from FMM racing, finished 5th.  Was a great race, Fitzy should have had me.

Great race guys I was chasing Nunder for the last 45 mins just couldn't get past and stay there, was right behind him when the race finished. Great racing Nunder made the 1.5 hours fly. Oh and Poidsly sexy accent I may have some interesting dreams tonight.
