The Free Practice session will be 10 minutes in length. Every participating driver should join as soon as possible after the server opens to make sure that they don't miss the start of Qualifying and also to make sure that their game is configured & working properly.

Parc Ferme will only allow you to change your fuel load, tire compound, engine boost, engine brakemap, front wing angle, steering lock, brake balance and brake pressure after the session is over, so make sure you have your race setup loaded when entering Qualifying 2.

Red Flags will NOT be used unless in very specific situations which are specified in the rule documents.

 

[Joona Lappaenen]

Hey, I hope Im not punished for having problems getting on the forum on time to allocate with a 16 minutes late allocation? :/

 

[Joona Lappaenen]

Hey,

I'd like to have a reply on this so I can make plans accordingly. Mr race director, what's the verdict =P

42. Joona Leppaenen Participation confirmed

[David Dominguez]

It doesn't matter if it's 1 second late or 1 day ... you had 1 month to do it, so people with late allocations (you and Chong) will go to G2.

 

[Milan Radivojevic]

Only 5 drivers from top5 are racing in Hungary ? This means extra 5 drivers from PQ will advance in G1?

Dont need to be an asshole about it, sometimes you simply forget and for some weird reason people tend to have other things on mind during summer. Kinda redicilious though, who loses if you let people participate in pq? And no dont give me "its the rules" as an answer.

The top 5 means they're automatically in the G1 and not allowed to take part in the pre-qualifying, but the top 21 from the pre-q will ALSO be added in the list. So there's 26 drivers in G1.

 

[Tume]

I think you should let Joona pass to G1, a little harsh if someone's having problems with the forum, without problems allocating in time?

 

[David Dominguez]

I missed van der Niet in the top 10 (so they are 6/10), so top 20 from the PQ session will pass to Grid 1 today.

And please check the post-race checks of the last race:

Edited the "start from the back of the grid" section.

The problem is that I can't give a special permission to any single driver, otherwise I'd need to give special permissions to everybody and that would be a total mess. Last race it was Mo who complained about this, now you, but we have to respect the deadlines. The reason of why I don't let people to participate in PQ is easy, for me that would be unrespectful towards the other guys who allocated correctly and took care of this.

 

[Paul Berndt]

Back of the grid again, what for this time???

All files were sent, and I double checked on forum???

 

[David Dominguez]

I already gave the reason. You can check it on the gpcos, "Submitted files". Your name isn't there. We haven't received any file.

 

[David Dominguez]

We are restarting the machine, I hope it fixes the problems with the server.

 

[David Dominguez]

Server up again.

 

[Milan Radivojevic]
