Race Briefing
Hey guys. I know that not everyone joins us on TeamSpeak, so I'm going to post a few notes here to make sure everyone sees them. Standards are nearly always pretty high in the R3E club so last week's issues were probably just a blip, but a friendly reminder of expectations doesn't hurt.
1) At the start of the race you will have cold tyres, cold brakes, less grip, and will be driving in heavy traffic. Please take extra special care, particularly into braking zones.
2) You can't win a race on the first lap, so there is no need for silly dive-bombs or other risky moves into T1. Take it easy, slow right down if necessary, and lets all get through unscathed.
3) If you leave the track for any reason, please be super careful when re-joining! Do not just swerve back onto the track, especially if this will put you on the racing line at reduced speed. Mirrors and the track map can be a great help in re-joining safely. If you have to stop and lose a few places, just do it. It's better than ruining other people's evenings.
4) Accidents happen, and that's fine. However, if you do end up disadvantaging another driver then you must follow our Golden Rule and allow them back past you, even if it means losing positions. No excuses on this one guys, failure to comply is an instant 30 day ban.
5) I cannot recommend the use of Crew Chief highly enough, for those who still haven't tried it. The increase in awareness can take your door-to-door racing to a whole new level, and the reduction in unnecessary incidents is huge. It's free, it's easy to install and use, so there's really no reason not to.
Last but not least, please remember that despite this being a series, it is still just a relaxed, friendly club race. There's no prizes and it's just for fun, so gentlemanly conduct is the order of evening. Cheers guys!
