Yep that sounds cool, cheers. Maybe also the weather setting i.e. how variable (what is the value range?)?

Can you please add the race start times or at least for Suzuka so we can practice for the same time of day?

Awful controls, levels that get old quickly and terrible team based games plus the crappy launch network stuff. Maybe I’ll try again in a few months to see if it’s improved.

Thanks

@davejm any chance we could swap Suzuka into the Championship, maybe instead of Misano (or Zanndvort) as I don’t think I’ll be able to make this week. I missed Monza originally so I’d really like to race Suzuka if poss. Thanks for setting up, looking forward to it.

If your tyres are the correct pressure I don’t think a bit of yellow/orange temperature is anything to worry about too much. I find it’s sometimes difficult, depending on the conditions, to get the temp green if you have the correct pressure. I focus on getting the pressure correct. If your tyres start going red then you need to be more worried and e.g. look for water on drying track,

I’d also be sad to see the 60min race disappear, I think that extra bit of time opens up strategy a bit more and it’s more difficult which should mean more mistakes and opportunities.If people aren’t enjoying it there’s little point but hopefully the mix of both in the Championship is a good compromise. Interesting re tyres, was it too dry for wets and too wet for slicks?

Never had an issue with understeer, my driving style must just suit it. I find the McLaren is like that for me, so much so I thought it was broken originally .

lol, what didn’t you like about it?

It can add a lot but equally it doesn’t necessarily make it more enjoyable. I don’t like Laguna Seca anyway so racing on it in the wet has no appeal. Obviously if it came up as part of the variable weather in our Championship then I’d race it. But I have little interest in spending my limited racing time preparing for or doing a full wet race out of choice. Just have to agree to disagree. I’ve done a few full wet races on the Championship servers, one at Laguna Seca, not enjoyable in the slightest but probably significantly heavier rain than we have on our server. I basically stopped racing on the CP servers as they always seemed to be either at night or wet, probably just unlucky timing on my part. Neither of these are a real problem when you know a track inside out but when you don’t it’s a bit of a chore.

I’d say variable weather races can be great, transitioning conditions, seeing how long you can stay out, best time to pit etc. a full 60mins in the wet not so much.

I probably can’t make 10 Sept but I don’t mind if you just go ahead with the race otherwise we could end up with gaps all over the place if people can’t make certain weeks. What we could do for a longer Championship is take something like your best 8 from 10 weeks, something like that so if people do miss a week or two it doesn’t impact them.

20th is better for me as I’m on holiday next week, although not going anywhere I might not be available to race. I won’t be racing this week either, a wet race at Laguna Seca doesn’t appeal I’m afraid and I could do with a break from ACC for a bit so it seems like a good week to miss before the Championship starts.

Sounds good.

If we end up going for ‘Mandatory pit stop, for a change of fuel AND/OR tyres’, is there a minimum pitstop time (30 secs) or is it just as long as it takes to fuel for instance?
