Cannot wait!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

How does the warm-up thing work? I thought it went straight from Quali to Grid.
Or will you run separate servers with the race on the other one and thus get 5 minute warm-up?

 

[Xosé Estrada]

We are testing that, yes, it's possible there won't be warmup at the end.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

ok cool,

Maybe it´s not that important, the car doesn´t feel that much different on fumes as a full tank anyways.

 

[Alex Millar]

don't suppose there's anyway of watching this, like a live stream or something?

 

[Simon Roberts]

GlacierTV will be streaming

 

[Alex Millar]

GlacierTV will be streaming

cheers, i look forward to it

105% rule at qualifying applies?
Does that mean if you mess up both your laps in qualy, you won't get to start at all? o.O?

 

[Pablo Lopez]

here we go!

Hopefully they can look at practice times, like they do in F1.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

We will indeed take a look to the practice times and check the ones over 105%.

If the slower than 105% in practice drivers don't make a qualifying lap under 105% they won't be able to start, so if you are in that barrier you should just make a safe lap on Q and then push maybe on the second flying lap.

If you have a practice pace into 105% and you fail on Q it will be considered part of the competition and you will start in the place your earned in Q, but you will start

Good, that seems reasonable.

 

[Mark A Warmington]

Ok - last time I turned an STC lap I was in desperate need of more speed. Looking at the entrant list of the upcoming cup and I see I will be starting off right where I left off .

 

[David Garcia]

About the entry list, I have a very good new.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

rumour has it, my pal Garcia put the 105% rule in to keep me out of the field

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Poor you

 

[David Garcia]

I would never do that! It is more because with a field of 42 cars we have to grant everybody is up to speed.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

wrong thinking, with a field of 42 you want the field nicely stretched out.

but looking at the lineup so far, we will have 41 guys within 1 sec. in quali, all nibbling away at the world record, then a gap of seven seconds and then me, lol.

Would there be any interest in me setting up a pre-season (6 hour) test session at Spa for this afternoon/evening?
