Will be nice to have you back on track Berkem, it's been like ages !!

Yeah Frank, it's been a long time and I've missed online racing. These machines aren't really my thing but I'll enjoy the ride.

Almost everyone has one on the HSO tracks, not only the best ...

You have to learn to change gears and you will be faster. I saw you were all track on second gear except in front of the pits on Oran Park.

A good wheel wont transform you into an alien, but yes you need a good wheel to go fast

i know about the gears,but im in trouble whithout the TC and SC aids.its a new challenge for me,and im trying to fit myself in it.
besides this,i dont know how to make setups.i dont have a decent wheel, but if anyone can help me whith some hints and tips,i thank it would help.

My advice : buy a good wheel
You can find some pretty good stuff on eBay, for a very decent price

Ca marche pas moi avec mon g27

Because of the nature of the track (very short street course, lots of traffic and not a lot of room to overtake), I decided to apply the 107% rule for this race. To be allowed to race, driver will have to be inside 107% of the pole time.

At the moment, best time is 52'475s so that means you'll have to be quicker than 56'142s to be qualified. It shouldnt be too hard to beat but I want to make sure we wont have "moving chicanes" on this track, that would be too dangerous.

Du fait de la nature du circuit (circuit en ville très court, surement beaucoup de traffic et pas beaucoup de place pour dépasser), j'ai décidé d'appliquer la règle des 107%. Pour être autoriser à prendre le départ, un pilote devra donc être plus rapide que 107% du temps de la pole.

Pour le moment, le meilleur temps est de 52'475 donc vous devrez être plus rapide que 56'142 pour être qualifié. Ça devrait pas être trop dur mais je veux être sur qu'il n'y aura pas de "chicanes mobiles" sur ce circuit, ça serait trop dangereux.

question idiote..mais que faut il faire en sortant des stands? prendre tout de suite la piste en sortie ou, au contraire, continuer tout droit et ne rentrer en piste qu'après la chicane?
Vu le circuit je dirais que la seconde solution serait la moins dangereuse à priori.

Non, 1ère solution, comme en vrai

Bon je continuerais à prendre ma solution que je trouve nettement moins dangereuse pour les autres alors

Guillaume,can you update this infomation here until the end of the Second Qualify session?

#34 please

Well I wont update the 107% benchmark time everytime the best time is improved, that would be too much work and you can do the math by yourself . But anyway, I dont think the pole time will be way faster than Carlo's actual time, maybe 2 or 3 tenths faster ? So I think any laptime in the 55s should be good enough to be qualified for the race.

Check the Hotlaps link in the first post to see the best laps, and the link will be the same to see the qualifying times during the 2 sessions.

Okay,i've done 55,006's in a offline practice,so i think i will be in the race(i hope. ).

ça veut dire que dès qu'on a passé le feu, on peut monter en piste?

Hmm je peux pas vérifier là, mais il me semble que le mur à gauche continue après le feu non ? Ou alors c'est des plots ?

Faut couper, du coup on rejoint la piste qu'au 2e virage. Voir à 2'13.
