Round 12 - Nazareth (Sept 20th)

Well, watch the Nazareth race (or rather, the first laps) above, or any race. The leader gets away from the 2nd car, then gets stuck behind the first car he tries to lap, then the 2nd placed car catches up, etc... It'll be fun

Are there any cars free for this round, I have seen Matthias post his car was free until Cleveland, Any chance i can jump in that?

Hello Guys, because of the new schedule the next three races collide with other leage activities.
 
So my car stays unused until the "Grand Prix of Cleveland"

If not i'm happy with any other car that becomes available

Based on Matthias' post, you can use his car in this round.

Thanks

 I have one question about being overlaped on ovals. Last week on Michigan, after quting, I was watching a little bit the last few racers driving, and there was even told something about it after the race: what can I do when driving behind car witch overlaped me, and Im significly faster (becose of the drag, fresh tyres, etc...), am I allowed to overtake him/her, and am I obligated to move away from the racing line when blue flag shown, even if the driver behind me maybe is not fast enough to overtake me...

I dont know if Im clear enough, how can I reclaim my position when drving among racers and Im a lap behind (or more)... I get it while on the road track, or circuit, but here the situation is a little bit different.

You can recover your position and in fact it is quite important because of yellows and strategy (Being able to pit in the same lap as the leaders will allow you to get your lap back behind the pace car). In superspeedways like Michigan the leader won't be affected by you being in front, quite the opposite he will like it if you are faster and can tow him under your slipstream.

The only rule is not to block the cars who have one lap less if they clearly sign you that they are faster and want to overtake.

Thank you mr. Ibanez.

Conservative driving early on could pay huge dividends at the end.

But it's not fun ! Everybody should try risky overtakes and great blocking manoeuvres ! That's what make racing interesting and intense, sometimes it doesn't work and you crash into others but at least you tried !

I like giving admins a little extra work after the races

Burn the heretic!!! Burn the heretic! Also bring out the diseased cow-ta-pult and seed his backyard immediately!

Nah don't be hard on him, like most retired guys he becomes grumpy because of the lack of action

I will upload a setup for each race to the web, for those who need one.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!


edit
It looks like i disrespect Jasons help, quite opposite, he helped me with a second, even more, but I see Im still a sec slow, on a 18sec lap track, and it makes me nervous
I tried with various setup directions and got quite lost, so, an idea where to head on will help me a lot on my way of the samurai!

I'll upload a race setup tomorrow, don't worry

A safe bet would be a car that hasn't been confirmed in the first post of this thread and hasn't practiced at all on the server.

EDIT: I think the #77 Lola is very likely free.

Perfect #77 take it
Thanks

Sorry, I thought it said absent, don't know why i thought this unless the post has changed.
