Don't worry Raul, you're not the only one. As i was on the "first come, first serve" list, i thought i had a chance to get a car. Well, today i found out that there are some tiers and i'm not even listed there

I'm not an administrator but I'm sure I can answer this.

There are two lists one for the Indy 500 one-off rides. And one for full season rides. This matches reality pretty well. Many drivers, sponsors and fans were only interested in the 500. Winning the 500 was bigger than winning the championship (and wasn't as time consuming). Everybody in the US knows something about the Indy 500. The rest of the races were just for die-hard fans and people who lived close by.

You may have earned the right to be on the 500 list. You have to ask to be put on the wait list, and the more one-off drives you've had the higher you'll be on the full time list.

Now i know, Jason added me there a few hours ago. Well, it's completely my fault, i should have known better. I'll  simply join the queue like all the others and will try to get one off rides harder than just refreshing the site for hours like a lunatic

Oh boy, now Im totally confused...

so, there is no point for me to set up alarm to 02:00 and wake up for booking the car?!?

Just want to be sure???

If I got it correct, Ill have to wait for tier 3 to participate in whoisthefastestonthehsoforuminthemiddleofthenightwithaimtogetacar duel?!?!?

At this moment it looks more likely Ill win the F1 championship

But if I got it correct, I can conquest for Indy500 one-off with no holdups, right??! And, btw, is there any car list for Indy 500, or there will be test-before-book period??

Grazie a tutti!!!

Not as long as I'm here

One other thing for all of you waiting in the wings to consider.  Tier 1 is only occupied by Jan Kowalski at the moment. As soon as he has picked a car, the remaining cars will automatically advance to Tier 2 since there is no one else in Tier 1 to pick a car. Otherwise, they would just languish there until the time has expired.

So I read the rules. You should apply for FIA clerk.

I have few questions, but I found your lack of patiente disturbing, so, Ill post them in a sequel. Or prequel, Im a bit lost now.

But if you could be so kind (as you allways are ) and let me (us) know wether there is going to be a test period prior to car booking orgies for Indy 500. Thank you.

That is a very good question. Let me confer with the admins and I will get back to you.

Please the March #8 or #55 or any other car available from the list of available cars that was arranged 24 hours behind

You have to wait until those cars reach Tier 3. They're not even in Tier 1 yet.

It is very difficult for me to understand this scheme of levels.
As far as I understand, they were offered yesterday, 24 hours ago and would now be available to the drivers in the waiting queue who intend to run the rest of the championship, in which I find myself anxiously waiting

Bruno you are tier 3.  In 30 minutes the open cars go to tier 1.  Depending on how quickly Jan picks a car, the remaining cars then go to tier 2.

There's no need to be anxious. There will be 17 extra cars for Indianapolis, unless you don't show for a week there's a big chance you'll get to choose a car for that race.

Quite sure Bruno wants a full-season ride though.

Yes, but if he doesn't start a race he'll still be at the back of the queue. For Indy he's better off picking a one off and hope a car becomes available after Indy.

Free advice for those of you in tier 2:
Bombard Jan with PMs asking him which car he will pick

"HEY JAN HEY LISTEN!"

I really want to focus on the CART, F1-91 and WEC82 championships here at HSO. I have serious problems with schedules and the schedules and days of the HSO races are perfect for me. I'm tired of participating in races in which I can not maintain a fixed permanence in the championship due to the schedules and days and configurations that most resemble video games.
Although I'm picking up a lot of the high level I've found here at HSO.
The organization and seriousness make me feel very good here at the HSO.

Your enthusiasm is appreciated Bruno . Be patient, you'll get a chance soon .

If Bruno wants to be part of the Buick brigade at Indy, that could be fun. Shared setups and scheming to upset the thoroughbreds
