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.

I don't understand : for me it always has been forbidden to cross it when you exit the pits.

thats how i always do it nicolas but doesnt hurt to clarify it especially since turn 1 here is so quick, if someone moved right over to the racing line here it could spell disaster.

If you insist. On the other hand, out here in the bush I seldom use blinker with no car in sight for kilometres.

Of course, so I did too.

It's more kind of a reminder in a preparation thread, because at this track it makes a difference in speed and safety how you approach the pit exit. On tracks like Barcelona it's a different story.

If we agree in something I insist to do it the agreed way just to keep it fair for everyone.

Ordered new parts for my gamerig (mobo+cpu+ram) and the package is 150km from here.. So it may arrive tomorrow and i can't promise that i can keep my hands away from that.. So i just might try to assemble and install all in a frantic attempt to get ready in time... I'm 50% sure that will be the scenario..

Judging from my recent experiences with finish roads atm I would say that 150km is A LOT ^^ So I would not be too optimistic

Arrived lest night, took me until 05:00 before everything was ready. Working fine so i'll be ready tonight (hopefully, wheel still uninstalled)

Hurry up mate! We need each driver on track.

Well, the PC works flawlessly, which is a delight. But. pedals are peaking so bad that i can not safely join you guys. It's randomly spinning me out of corners unless i drop 2 secs off pace, in short: it's not a viable option. Sad, it's the last race of the season and all. I kind a started enjoying Hockenheim, the 1999 race was eyeopener to the new track and Tilkes choices don't seem so bad anymore.
