@Dennis Coufal
Will we have seperate channels per team like in last years VWEC and then a broadcast from the organiser to inform us about improtant things?
Would be really great, so you can chat about laptimes and strategy with your teammate while driving

Yup, I shall be creating separate channels for each team later.

Do we have to use RD TS server or can we talk over some other programs (GameVox ...)?

 

[Yuri]

Do we have to use RD TS server or can we use some other programs (GameVox ...)?

Maybe we could do both, mute ourselfs in the TS to hear the important messages and talk in GameVox?

Not sure what Dennis, Daiman and Ricardo would want, but I'm loving it that people are using GameVox! Such a nifty piece of software.

 

[Daiman Patel]

Yup, you are free to talk over whichever tool / software you wish to use, but we would also like for you to be on TS (even if you mute your mic) so that you are able to hear any important messages.

The test event yesterday showed some possible issues for today, so we made a small adjustment to the starting procedure:

Starting procedure:

1. Server is set to "standing start" and we will do our single-file formation lap once the light turns green (so the clock will already be ticking)
2. The first GTE car will wait (stationary!) until the last LMP went around T1
3. LMPs who qualified inside the GTE grid will close up to the LMP grid - so they will overtake the stationary GTE cars
4. The leader of each class can dictate the pace once they exit the last corner
5. No overtaking before start/finish
6. Formation speed = pit limiter speed

Note to LMP1:
LMPs need to have their lights on at all times (additional flashing is encouraged)

Note to GTE:
If you have problems noticing the LMPs in time, turn off your HDR so you will see the light beam earlier

Live timing:
The link to live timing will be provided in this thread shortly before the race

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

Thanks for all the Info
Will there be a livestream as well?

Ok, so you would need to turn of the stream when you are going out yourself?

 

[Ricardo Edelmann]

i wouldn't need to turn it off. like i said if anyone is interested i'd stream my race from the cockpit but without commentary

 

[Pete Bone]

Well, i'v been signed up for this race since the begining and being a stubborn bugger i am going to start it, but i fear that without a Cortisone injection(which i don't have) i don't think i will make the distance. Being human isn't all it cracked up to be.

Some bad news guys:
There seems to be a problem when using custom skins and performing driver swaps, which results in a successful swap, but the car is put into the garage. Therefore, for the race we advise teams performing driver swaps to use a default skin (check this before entering the server), otherwise you may be unable to re-join the race after attempting a swap. This applies to all classes.

Cars with a single driver are not affected by this, and may still use their custom skin.

We apologise for the inconvenience, and hope that ISI has a fix in the works. Either way, we shall ensure that they are aware of the problem.

For the next race we shall create a skin pack to work around the issue.

Again, sorry about this guys.
