[xnorb]

After my training session yesterday i can say that i don't understand Brooklands at all.
Already looking forward to todays practice session - i'm sure some guys here can and will reveal some secrets
I'm very positive that thise combo is just perfect for such an event.

Just renewed my Premium membership too so well up for it.
All depends on work now if I can get out on time. I should be able to make it during practice if that's ok?

Cheers Alex, I've added you to the list and welcome back Yeah during practice is fine mate, pesky work commitments Sooner the better fella, see you out on track in a bit


Great stuff guys, really getting this second server filled up nicely now

Don't forget to tag any mates in you think might be interested in joining the fun, let's have a bit of a push see if we can get server 2 up to the 24 capacity limit...

But, but, but... it's a Fiat Good job AC doesn't have rain, otherwise they'd all rust to pieces before the race is over

I must be a bit thick but I can't see where the fuel estimate is displayed. I've done a few practice laps but still baffled. Is it just that the value shown on the fuel slider is the recommended quantity or is there a separate indicator somewhere?

Hi Keith,

So far as I know you have to do at least 2 full laps, then in the garage screen back in the pits the fuel tab will show you what the number of laps the game estimates your fuel will do. I usually leave it at 30ltrs and do something like 5 hot laps, go back to pits then check out what that tab says, adjusting for the race length accordingly. Then I usually panic just before the race anyway and ask someone on TS what fuel they plan to use and copy that!

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Oh don't forget for all you who like to burn the midnight oil, our US friends are having a similar such event on Monday 20th with the same car and same track. Feel free to get yourself involved in that one too or let anyone know who might be interested in that time zone.

I agree with you there!!

If time allows it would be good to do a "final sprint race" with the top 10 from each server

I've been thinking about joining online races here for a while but being a bit of a noob online made me hesitant. This seems like an ideal time to jump in

That's where my SLIMax dashboard comes in handy
My tests showed that you need roughly 1 liter fuel per lap - AC told me i'd need way more.

P.S. That's for my driving style - usage may vary.

 

[Keith Gregg]

Will you all be going for the 30mins on one tank and same tyres?...or would it be wise to pit at some point?

What would be best to do @Bram, is this, but slightly tweaked.

After the race is finished, the top half of each field goes on Server 1, the bottom half onto Server 2. Go straight to qualifying and then do a second race, where hopefully everyone is mor eon pace with each other.

Great timing fella, welcome to club racing at RD Added to the list sir, see you on track soon

I've not tested it but yes, I suspect the race won't require any pit stops.. Hope not anyway, I've never done a stop in AC

 

[Fabrizio]

Are there 2 livestreams tonight or just for the first full server?

Someone?

 

[Joseph Wright]

Someone?

Just one, by me on the first server

We are doing a casual event for newcomers and rookies, not a ladder tournament league, so we keep it like it is proposed in the first post.
