SEASON 9 RACE 10 Hockenheim - Preparation Thread

[Sean Greenlaw]

Sound like 19th is confirmed then, on a side note id probably turn up for a practise race 12th if any other guys want to race then to anyway to, if not a full race then maybe just a couple stints. For the few who have perhaps prepared for 12th but will miss 19th.

 

[Valter Ostman]

I think we all are first and foremost interesting in doing a race where the maximum of drivers can attend, and not surprising anyone with a different track version than expected. In that light I would vote for the track on the server (nogrip 2003/2004 version) the 19th. I am sorry that I yet again unwillingly sabotaged the chance of racing the much wanted race room version.

Thanks Nicolai! The more the merrier, track version isn't important for me.

Nice idea Sean. Unfortunately I won't have time on wednesday evening.

But it looks very likely that I can have my first (and maybe only) test this evening, aproximately between 8pm and 10pm local german time. Would be nice to meet someone.

PS: Even though I'm fine with any decision I think it's time to make the final call. From reading all the stuff it should be the 19th and the well known 2004 version.

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Ye I think thats sounds right Reik
Also will maybe pop on tonight i havent been on yet eithier.

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

I'm not sure why this is all getting done so extremely late.

Because no-one noticed that there were two different dates in the original calendar and the graphic one. I was the one to suspect something was not right when Daniel posted his forecast.

I think for the future the solution is (a return) to keep things simple,

I second 19th and 2004 track and will try to be there tonight as well

I second 19th and 2004 track ...

Yay!

That means I can participate in the last race of the season!!!
All my exams are done and I need a little racing fix before entering the spirit of christmas.

Again convenience trumps accuracy, as is the norm here..

 

[Reik Major]

Here's my latest setup from season 7. It should be much the same like the one from the archive (also season 7 and done PB with it) but it has more wing and should be a bit more comfortable...

I understand your feelings Kennett but it was a matter of fairness to maybe that single driver who doesn't look into forum until race day and would get in trouble finding out lately that we use a different version. No one doubts that the RR version is more accurate...

 

[Chirlie Williams]

Yo guys sorry i missed last race was realy busy leading up to xmas but will make last race ,

 

[Reik Major]

Sounds good mate!

 

[Jonas Lex]

Ive just now seen the trouble about the racing date. Im not completely sure since its some time ago already, but I thought that I'd put all the correct info in the calendar graphic. Sorry If that wasnt the case, graphic is updated now.

 

[Reik Major]

To support you a little bit Jonas, I was also in doubt about the date when the discussion started last week. I think I was expecting the race to be on 12th not only from your graphics but also from the discussion prior the season. I think it was about having the event on 12th not to come too close to christmas and the summer hollidays of the Aussies. But I'm not sure if we finally decided 12th or 19th. However we have a decison now. Such things can happen...

My pb from hotlapping at Hockenheim:

 

[Reik Major]

Very nice and clean mate (far away from cuts and wides)! Well done!

 

[Reik Major]

Do we again agree that the pit exit line isn't allowed to be crossed with any wheel? Would be good for safety reasons. When the line ends it should be clear if the driver can turn left to the racing line or better holds the inside line for a defensive move.

 

[Henrik Jordfald Olsen]

Ufortunately I cannot participate on Wednesday.

My computer is in pieces due to complete overhaul of the water-cooling system, did not receive the right parts on Friday - so I had no chance to get any laps in during the weekend.
And still no replacement parts today - I am out until next season

Wish you all a good race mates..

 

[Reik Major]

thx for letting us know and wish you good luck with your PC stuff.
