You guys have probably answered this already, but just so I'm absolutely sure....

Since we will be manually selecting fuel to add while driving, what should our Relative Fuel Strategy be set at in our .PLR files?

"1"

Thank you Antoine

Remember tonight's qualifying session will last only one hour, then the 10 fastest cars will take part to the top 10 shootout that will determine the first 10 spots of the grid.

In this shootout, you will have only one try to post a laptime. If you crash in your outlap, you won't have another chance.

Cars will go out on track in reverse order from qualifying (the 10th fastest will start first, the 1st will start last).

When a driver starts his flying lap, the next driver willl be allowed to go out of his garage for his outlap as soon as the driver on track has exited the first turn.

We will post the qualifying order for the shootout on the forum so that you know when its your turn to go on track.

And as always no chatting during the shootout.

Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any.

There will be a broadcast for the top 10 quali.

Qui vient commenter avec moi ?

Merde je vais peut-être devoir faire le shoot-out, sinon c'eut-êté avec plaisir ^^ (Enfin bon je pourrais bien te rejoindre tôt, si tu vois ce que je veux dire )

Ben ça peut être JP qui fait le shootout, comme ça on peut critiquer ses trajectoires.

Eh nan il est pas là, mais t'inquiètes je fais mon run si je dois et je te rejoins dans la cabine, VOIRE, je fais le run en liaison avec la cabine, à l'australienne

Ah oui je veux voir ça, shootout commenté live onboard, la classe

Haha bande d'enfoirés, je ne vous ferai pas ce plaisir (vous auriez bien plus rigolé si j'étais en Sierra pour le shootout )

What time in game time does the race start?

Probably around 10 AM.

Yep, the actual Bathurst 1000 are daytime along, and so our race shall be I guess

I am not sure if this impacts others, but remember that tonight some clocks roll back (mine does). I know the land of fine wine and finer women has aleeady done this.

Notre team #6 (Eggenberger Motorsport) ne pourra pas participer à cette séance de qualification. Mais nous seront bien là demain pour la course! Bonne qualif à tous!

Frank/Admins if Antoine and Christoph must turn a qual lap to run in the race I can be a "ghost" member for them and run a few (really slow) qual laps for them today. Alberto has set a time for us (team 42) I will never beat but I plan to try like Hell today.

No worries, if Antoine and Christophe are still in the top 10 after the first part of qualifying tonight, they will start from P10 tomorrow

Oh they already qualified in 1st session? OK, glad to hear it. I need all the M3 practice I can get.

I Just managed to catch the shootout Well done Ben amazing Pole time congrats to all the Sierra's
but i have to say hats of to Oscar that was awesome watching you wrestle the Holden around ...

Good Job

Thanks Carl and the guys in the commentary box for being impressed by my lap.

It is the only way to get that boat to go anywhere quickly by driving it like I did but it is also incredible fun. Big hats off to the guys who got in to the top 10 shootout and of course those aliens in the Sierra's making life as hard as possible for us guys further back. It has been great fun to compete so far. Bring on the race tomorrow

Oscar.

Amazing pole Ben, that was a hell of a lap. Major props to Oscar in the Holden as well; that was a sensational lap in the Commodore

Well done Ben, amazing lap
