You all know the format by now so Ive just copied the big post from last season.

Chaps format for next season will be the same as current except that the combo choice is to also include tyre and fuel wear rate (normal, fast or very fast)

Test race this Sunday....

Teams will be picked as before by averages 1,3,5 as one team 2,4,6 etc... the team without GW will have the extra man and all points scored will count towards team champ should give a better battle. This assuming all happy to continue with the addition of Rex - welcome back.
UNLESS YOU GUYS THINK 3 TEAMS OF 3 IS BETTER??

The other change will be the points. Assuming 9 of us points will be:

1st - 12
2nd - 10
3rd - 8
4th - 6
5th - 5
6th - 4
7th - 3
8th - 2
9th -1

Champ Averages:

1st GW - 49.7
2nd Norbs - 34.23
3rd Dice - 30.78
4th Flip - 28.75
5th Old G - 23.38
6th Ian - 21
7th Billy - 20.83
8th Drc - 18.6

(Drc - you had two rounds only completing one race which killed your average - take these out and it goes to 21.23).

So teams for next champ are (assuming we dont go to 3 teams of 3):

Team 1
GW
Dice
Old G
Billy

Team 2
Norbs
Flip
Ian
Drc
Rex


Just need to see if Ferry is going to be around for the season as may have to jiggle the teams (based on his lat average).

Team 2 will pick the 1st weeks combo.

Any suggestions as to how i can sort the lag i seem to be experiencing at the moment. I'll going to have a go at using a cable instead wireless... any thing else i should try?

Check your actual up and down speed on the router menu, if its not what you had before call your ISP

If that's ok check nat is type 2

Start with those

[Darkdice]

Chaps do we need to postpone the start for a week as team gay, i mean green, cant come up with a combo??????

[Darkdice]

What's hp and weight forgot about ballast for race 2

[Darkdice]

Ballast is

1st 200kg
2nd 170kg

This week's combo is roughly decided, not yet 100% settled on absolute final spec but will do shortly...

Honda Beat
Every bolt on power mod
Comfort medium & hard tyres
Track is Monaco

I think fast tyre & fuel wear.....

Will post full final spec shortly.

Is this a premium model? cant remember - but if its standard i might need one. Sounds fun though

PS new table added to P1. new points makes it very tight even after one round.

Cheers billy

If I have one ill send it back

[Darkdice]

Haven't had chance to turn ps3 on. What's the hp and weight so can work out balast

[Darkdice]

balast for this week is:

1st 95kg
2nd 72kg
3rd 48kg
4th 24kg

[Darkdice]

Quick reminder of who runs balast for race 1

Gw
Norbs
Dice
Flip

That is all

[Darkdice]

The rule cutting was cleared up sometime ago. Kerb = track - 2 wheels on track at all time

With the chicane, personally, if you cut it in the pack I think it will cause too many issues. The kerbs jump the car at which point control is lost and its too tight to be swerving to avoid the carnage. It happened last time.

I'd rather we be sensible and like the v8 boys concede the corner etc.

If you out brake there I would expect you to stop over the kerb and wait for a gap to rejoin

[Darkdice]

Practice 10ish?

[Darkdice]

Room up

Races are 29 laps

[Darkdice]

table updated on p1.

Ferry - currently with sky - had talktalk, both fine no issues.

Only one I know has real issues are Orange.

[Darkdice]

Race is 8 laps this week

Ill work balast out tonight

Fuel is funny. If you try to complete your third lap you will run out coming out of the last chicane!

Its also a bit hard. I did a 40 minute practise last night and didn't get a clean lap. Doesnt help that you only get an out, 1 flying and an in.

Quali should be one lap then!

[Darkdice]

FYI brand new car with mods is 630bhp

Then do oil change and its 662bhp

Happy days
