And the first oval, for some people. I'm so scared.

You did several of our 1970 USAC oval races back in 2010 ^^ . True that was a forgetable championship lol !

It was muscle or pony cars, so it doesn't count. Indeed that was forgetable.

Would it be possible to join as a spectator for the start

It works now.

Could overtaking on start and restart be re-clarified?

It's allowed.
(unless it changes before the race)

So overtaking is allowed on both inside and outside?

Thx Alberto for the setup. Now it's much faster and funnier.

At the moment, You can overtake anyplace, BUT its a long race, Please everyone be patient on the start and restarts after yellow periods. You don't need to pass everyone before the first corner.

Briefing for tonight:

- At the start and at the restarts, it is allowed to overtake both on the outside and on the inside (at least for this race) . But if you do a bad move that causes another yellow flag, you will be penalized for the next race.

- It's a very long race, so you can't win at the start and in the early laps. No point to rush to overtake the car in front of you, take your time.

- If your suspensions are broken, your crew will not repair it. The only thing you have to do is press escape in the pit. NEVER STOP ON THE TRACK!

- If you have lost your front wing, you have to repair it as soon as possible. You may be able to stay on track but you will be very slow on turns and quite dangerous for everyone else.

- Under yellow, the leader must not follow the SC too closely. You can leave a 1-2 cars space between him and you.When he leave the track at the green flag, the leader must not slow down but accelerate slowly until the green flag is shown. If the leader slow down on purpose he will be penalized for the next race.

**************

Briefing pour ce soir:

- Les dépassements sont autorisés par l'intérieur et par l'extérieur lors du départ et des restarts (au moins pour cette course). Mais si vous faites une manœuvre douteuse qui se solde par un nouveau yellow, vous serez pénalisé pour la prochaine course.

- C'est une course très longue que vous ne pourrez pas gagner au départ ou dans les premiers tours. Aucun intérêt de se presser à doubler la voiture qui vous précède.

- Si une de vos suspensions est cassée, votre équipe ne la réparera pas. La seule chose qui vous reste à faire est de faire echap dans la voie des stands. NE JAMAIS S’ARRÊTER EN PISTE!

- Si vous avez perdu votre aileron avant, vous devez le faire réparer le plus vite possible. Vous seriez peut être capable de rester en piste mais vous seriez alors très lent dans les virages et donc beaucoup trop dangereux.

- Lors des yellows, le leader ne doit pas suivre le SC de trop près. Vous pouvez laisser un espace d'une ou deux voitures sans vous faire pénaliser. Lorsque le SC quitte la piste au moment du restart, le leader ne doit pas ralentir, mais accélérer doucement jusqu'à ce que le drapeau vert soit annoncé. Si le leader ralenti volontairement, il sera pénalisé à la prochaine course.

server down??

Once "GREEN GREEN GREEN" is said? So before the start/finish line.

Oui, une limite à 2h30.

There will be a time limit set à 2hrs and 30 minutes.

@Roy: Yes.

The server is up.

Merci, Petr pour le coup de roues, en ligne droite, en plus. C'est pas cool.    

Bon, ben voilà, j'ai fait 3 tours.

De toute façon, avec 43% de moteur au départ (j'ai l'impression que ça va être comme ça toute l'année avec le Toy') j'aurai pas fini.

Was cruising round no problems till an accident in front

All was fine (16 laps before the first yellow, I did not expect that) until there was a contact between Mathias's wheel and mine. We managed to not spin but we lost speed, and a car coming from behind hit me. Race was over

LOL.... really someone runs into the back of my car while im in the pits WTF

Well,this didn't go as expected. First, I had a completely unnecessary contact with Yves. I had a lot of room on the right side,but we tangled wheels anyway. I'm terribly sorry, Yves My race ended shortly after, as Roy Schroten overcooked pit entry and slid back into racing line. I couldn't avoid him, baged my car really badly, so that I couldn't even keep it in straight line and gave up. But it's the contact with Yves that bothers me. I ruined his race and introduced myself as a wrecker

No Problem, Petr it's already forgotten !

Great race it seems. Low on yellows. Cyril tagged me in the rear once (I think he broke way later than expected) and tweaked my RR camber a little so it stayed hot all race. Did not make much difference. Maybe .2 per lap as I was much slower on exit.

Glad to have finished.

Grats to Rocky - sorry to see Austin got borked in the pits.
