Hmmm i would if i thought i could have got away with it   

 (praying for an uneventfull grid and start   )

Do you guys realize that this race will take us approx 2,5 hours to finish?   

What a challenge

Oh yes. This will be a lot like the F1 1991 race at Phoenix. Sweat off two pounds during the race.

Am off to the Thruxton revival meeting this weekend so won't be doing this......Probably for the best   

Just realised, I'm at BTCC on Sunday, Last race is 5:45 GMT, So its going to be touch and go if i make it back. Really hoping i can as i love this track and the Reg Parnell car is running well   
But just informing you if i'm not there, You know why.

Another note, Maybe it would be best if we lined up on the run from tabac to the final hairpin and then the Admin call us 1 by 1 to our grid spots when the pits close. (So pole first etc etc.) As lining up on that grid is going to be very tight.



P.S Can i join in during the driver briefing, A.K.A the warmup session Without qualifying. And of course there is less than 30 qualifiers.

... or we leave pits for the recon lap by admins call in qualifying order...

Possibly, But some people like to do 2 laps, And some people leave at the last minute possible due to toilet breaks i'm assuming

It's true. I park my car on the grid and then go pee pee   

Good point.

especially when you plan to be 2,5 hours strapped on a chair.

A practical question -- are we sure the mod allows for enough fuel to do the 100 laps with no stops?   

le reservoir en tout cas de la brm est largement suffisant pour monaco
en revanche la carrosserie je ne pense pas

Believe so Jason, I was getting around 1.2-1.2 litres a lap, S I'm assuming we can, but I don't know the full amount of litres the mod allows.

Another thing I've just noticed, When i went to go on track while in game (Clicked the lower left button) during practice, I clicked before the pits were open, And as soon as i entered the race screen it gave me a penalty for leaving the pits through a red light even though i hadn't moved.

Just thought i'd mention as we don't want people doing it during the trip to the grid, As i know people queue at the end of the pit lane at most races. I'm assuming it would DQ them in the race session, People would need to wait until the pits were open before even clicking go to race.

Not sure if the admins have a fix planned, But just thought i'd mention it in case you guys didn't know.

I don't know where the pitlane was placed, but if it's like in GPL, yeah that's pretty normal since there's no pitlane as such. The fix would be to race on a modern Monaco  

Yep, Bang same as GPL. Well people have got to be careful then or the only other cure is to do a start the old fashioned way, I.E Click to race and your on the grid.

la cellule de chronometrage du 1er partiel n'enregistre pas parfois
ça a du m'arriver 2 ou 3 fois lorsque je tournais
j'imagine qu'en course ça fait un tour de retard
il me semble que j'avais coupé en passant par un trottoir
donc voila attention de ne pas se faire avoir   

Memories of GPL resurfacing, when it was awful to qualify. Either it was difficult to get out of the pits, or your lap was ruined by someone exiting the pits  

Oh yes, Proper memories. Heart skips a few beats every time i approach the chicane.
