A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Got you boys signed up

 

[Maciej Strzeboński]

Sign me in, please. Thank you Bobby!

EDIT: Sorry I won't be able to race tonight. After training my legs ache and I am tired . Hope to see you next time!

 

[Douglas Garcia]

Boys, could you please sign me up as "maybe"?

I leave the college at 20:00 EDT, and I'm gonna try to get home straight for the qualy. (I think it's perfectly possible)

Thank you

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Mmmmhhh ... ?!

 

[Dirk Steffen]

Mmmmhhh ... ?!

Ok @Bobby Pennington , I am in.

I just found some very interesting peculiarities about some telemetry data channels regarding this cars body lift+drag figures and especially the rear diffusor behavior in lift efficiency and very low stall figures in relation to aero device hight limits that running this car would just be too intriguing to pass on another time, broken foot or not, I am racing !!!

We can talk about the telemtry data quirks of the Maserati in more detail tomorrow after the race - 2 hours should be mildly sufficient to cover the basics.

SETUP:
https://acstuff.ru/s/TP9V

This is a base setup for Laguna Seca.
It should easily be good for top ten RSR lap times even with the race fuel load as saved in the setup.
The car is still slightly under steering (loosen up the rear if you like it more agile).
Suspension alignment is properly balanced.
Tires are properly working.
Dampers and springs are tuned to the track.
This setup is not yet aero optimized (I discovered some peculiarities regarding the cars rear diffusor which I have to work into another evolution of the setup).

 

[DingoStarr]

in please Bobby, after a week in the wilderness I need some high octane action!
