Race Start Procedure

- The race start procedure will not include a formation lap.
 

Behaviour on track

- As for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.

- Respect the red condition at the end of the pitlane.

As list assembler and "back-seat driver", I'd like to point out that #17 is being driven by Olivier Grouillard from Barcelona on(which was, ironically, AGS' last F1 event they tried to qualify for).

Grouillard got sacked by Rumi(Fondmetal) and swapped seats with Tarquini, who went the other way to Fondmetal(and ultimatively finished 12th in the race).

Apparently, Grouillard insisted on using the primary car that had gearbox issues at Portugal to qualify, Rumi was against it. When the car actually broke down because of it, Rumi got angry and fired the Frenchman immediately.

From what I've been reading about him now, it seems he was actually worse than René Arnoux in his late career, blocking people even during qualifying and leaking oil on track when he didn't stop his car.

The English wiki entry of Arnoux actually even references this as both were teammates at Ligier in 1989

TY for the heads up

I should be around trying to Qualify and we'll see how that goes, hopefully it'll be allright

Cars requiring Upgrade 3: Ferrari is this correct? there is 4th upgrade for round 14 in car selection

Well, Jason's correct.

You know, the Ferrari 643 was introduced at Round 7, thus the first update you see isn't a car upgrade, more like the introduction as you're automatically using it. Thus the upgrade at Barcelona is the final #3 upgrade to the car.

In short words: Yes, use the upgrade for R14, Barcelona

Présent,

As tu reçu mon message privé David ?

One question to the group's fastest.
Has it been difficult to overtake me?
I know I'm a lot slower and I wonder if I've caused any difficulties.

This race is on Sunday, I think you're looking for the Estoril thread.

I'm not talking about Estoril specifically, but in general, if my behavior on the track has been correct, if the riders are having difficulties in overtaking me in the advantage rounds, because I took many in all the tests that I participated.
