Äh, Mr Race Director, Sir,
I strongly suggest we make a 30l fuel cell mandatory for this race, of course completely out of safety reasons

HF2000 · Sep 18, 2023

TO ALL PARTICIPANTS: CARSTEN REPORTED THAT THE FUEL CALCULATION APPS DON'T WORK CORRECTLY FOR THIS COMBO.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL FOR 25 MINUTES.

Ernie are you giving this a go??..Got a name for you for the race...Moby Duck..

I think Allan is right here, it finally is a race with a more gentle pace

(that´s how Markus advertizes the Abarth/Mazda battles which is completely of the rocker as they got crazy fast and competetive

)

Han (@HF2000 ) it appears to me that when driving through the pitlane it doesn't count the lap. As the pitstop is currently mandatory I believe this is going result in the running order being 'wrong' until everyone has done one stop (if anyone has to do two I believe they'll end up a lap down!).

Although I guess we could live with this it might be better to make the pitstop optional and reduce the fuel consumption rate so that a full 20l tank is enough to do a 25 min race, your thoughts?

I had already removed the mandatory pitstop because of the change of format but I forgot to change it in the 1st post. Corrected now.

Thanks Richard!

Thanks Han but did you miss my point about the fuel?

Unrealistically the 20L tank doesn't appear to be enough to do a 25 min race without a pitstop!

Sorry, I reacted to hastily. I will change the fuel usage to 40%. That will be enough?

HF2000 · Sep 19, 2023

Guys,

I'm sorry about all the changes. I didn't test this combo thoroughly.
I had to set it up quite hastily.

Just yesterday an other 2CV mod has been released which is a bit faster and probably won't have the fuel usage problem but it's too late to test that one and replace the current car.

Sorry guys, i thought i had already entered. Didn't want to miss this duckin race. Ooops! sorry about the language. Just call me quackers for the night

Thanks Han. Yes I believe 40% fuel usage should be safely low enough to enable a 25 min race without refuelling.

For the "not so PC savy" crowd:

on the registration form you can edit your name to your temporary call sign.

That is the guy who races a 2CV. I thought this was his mod, Is it too late to swop to Gaskleps mod?

I don't think Allan and others who have been practicing would like that very much.

Have I got or using the wrong password for CM. cannot get onto the server.

stigs2cousin · Sep 19, 2023

My usual password works.

But the server intermitedly does not show up or refuses entry.

Latter problem can be solved by hovering over the "JOIN" button and use keystrokes shown

I personally wouldn´t mind.

So Allan breaks into the 1,40s, who cares?

Kek700 · Sep 19, 2023

I am bitterly disappointed that yet again no TC and ABS with these cars, hence i am unable to get a 59 second lap. i supppose i will have to make do with a 1min 1 second lap.
