Round 5 - 1000 Km del Mugello [Sep 10th]

Well Coxon and me have to free the Sauber unfortunally. Put me solo on the Mazda, altough i am not sure i will take part in it

Seems like dwindling participation in combination with the one time use of the 956-rule will result in no 956's on the grid.

Could'nt we open the 956's up for everyone again? Would be a shame to have no 956's on the grid.

Yes, at least with no points for the same team twice.. driving just for fun.

Plenty of people haven't driven the Porsche 956 yet. Weber & Titz, Both Placais, Alberto & Jason to just name a few. No rules will be changing.

The first race didn't see any 956's either.

I did expect Titz/Weber to use here, but no enty from their side?

I'm saving my shot in the 956 for Fuji

Is one driver allowed to qualify two cars in the same session?

Yes, but you must use a different profile name, so add your car number to your name. (Jacob Fredriksson **) That way the game will remember both of your efforts.

I think they might be busy, at least Jan is on a VEC team, and they have a test this weekend I believe...

I will not start so Lancia is free.

I didnt know for different user names for different car, but I see now that Under his eye saw clearly, which makes me happy.

Questions:

1. There was a pit speed limit in Q1. I guess it will be off for the race, but why do we even have it during Q?

2. The Lancia has some updates like the windshield and body shape. Do we have to stick to something and avoid the Fuji front shape for example?

1: There is a pitlane speed limit for safety reasons, same as Kyalami and the 'Ring races.

2: Use what ever you like Just not the qualifying engine in the race

1. To avoid cars crashing into each other in the pitlane or when joining the track? Well yeah, better if it happens in the race

2. Yeah, that I know.

1, Crashing in the pitlane. Some people don't check their mirrors.

2, if you knew, why did you ask?

1. How do such people ever cross a street unharmed? xD

2. Seriously Richard? I know that Q engine is only for Q and we use the 1000km engine for the race.

But if there's an advantage to run the different nose is something I didn't, I didn't create the mod.

Maybe I should try that tonight? Although a bit unrealistic...

I simply reminded you that anything goes bar the Q engine in the race, you then responded "Yeah, I know" so I thought you meant you knew that you could use anything.

The alternate nose has some benefits, but some draw backs. I believe drag and downforce levels are affected. You will have to try and see if it helps. But like you, I didn't create the physics. Only the other Richard knows the true differences.

That's why I didn't mention the engine in the question.

No problem David, you're welcome.

Quick question.

Since there are less drivers in this entire field than there is in a typical event, would it be ok for the spectating driver to stay in the server while not driving the car?
I know the rule about leaving after the swap, but given the shortened field of drivers I thought I'd ask.

My teammate and I tend to use a work around to our language barrier, which makes TS not an option for us. Just looking at things that could possibly bridge that divide just a bit more.

TIA.

We need as few people on the server as possible.  Please try to keep the time on the server that isn't dedicated to a swap brief.
