Title: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on September 28, 2009, 08:46:53 AM S06 R01 - F3000 @ Brno WEDNESDAY, Oct 7th 2009 Practice: 8:30pm Eastern Qualifying: 9:20pm Eastern Warmup: 9:35pm Eastern Race: 9:40pm Eastern Length: 20 Laps >>> League Format Info <<< (http://www.teamrip.net/index.php?topic=5011.0) Race Weights: Buzinator ... 90kg ChITty ... 85kg Kav ... 55kg Lumacor ... 40kg Bretware ... 35kg Kalian ... 15kg Cawdor ... 10kg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Brno_(formerly_Masaryk%C5%AFv_okruh).svg/800px-Brno_(formerly_Masaryk%C5%AFv_okruh).svg.png) Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on September 30, 2009, 12:44:46 PM Indeed. What a PITA scheduling can be.
Here's me... Sun = undesired Mon = OK Tue = OK Wed = OK Thu = BAD Fri = OK Sat = OK @ Cawdor & Bret ... we all get to drop 1 race and theoretically we can also do 2 offline races. Do you think a Friday schedule would make you miss more than 9 out of 12 races? Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on September 30, 2009, 01:00:16 PM I am good for any day, except for sunday mornings at 3am
Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|ChITty on September 30, 2009, 01:03:21 PM Monday - fine but questionable Tuesday - fine but questionable Wednesday - Ok Thurdsay - NO Friday - Ok Saturday - Ok Sunday - Ok Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: Cawdor on September 30, 2009, 04:40:39 PM Monday - Great
Tuesday - Great Wednesday - Great Thursday - Great Friday - Tolerable Saturday - Not so great Sunday - Not so great Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 01, 2009, 10:08:30 AM So if we look at say, Wednesday ... Buz, Cawdor, Chitty, Kav are all rock solid.
I imagine Luma will have difficulty with that, which sux a lot. But if Bret is also solid on Wed ... idk, seems like that would be the most certainty we've had. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|Bretware on October 01, 2009, 11:52:31 AM Anyday but Friday and Saturday.

======== Bretware Buzinator Cawdor ChITty Kalian (by inference) MrKavanagh I fecking hate leaving anyone out ... and we all know I'm an Anglophile, but looking at total bums-on-seats this may be our best option.

No worries, makes more sense for you to have as many people racing as possible! :) Should be an interesting season to see how it develops!

Wednesdays, starting Oct 7th. we could just concede the first win to me and save everyone the trouble of loading up the game next Wednesday (http://www.fordaustraliaforums.com/forum/images/smilies/custom/sps.gif) Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|ChITty on October 02, 2009, 08:51:35 AM we could just concede the first win to me and save everyone the trouble of loading up the game next Wednesday (http://www.fordaustraliaforums.com/forum/images/smilies/custom/sps.gif) Are you planning on using ChITty's Brno v1 setup again this season? I'm on Brno v4 right now if you're interested. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on October 02, 2009, 08:53:48 AM Are you planning on using ChITty's Brno v1 setup again this season? I'm on Brno v4 right now if you're interested. Thanks, but I will stick with the tried and true setup. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 02, 2009, 01:10:22 PM Don't forget to rack up a hotlap (totw) ... server up 24/7.
Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|Bretware on October 07, 2009, 12:42:34 AM I sure hope you guys don't run as slow as you did last year at Brno.
Just kidding Whats up with the weight? Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 07, 2009, 06:35:19 AM Quote In the interest of keeping the championship closely contested, a Ballast Loading system is in place: Drivers will begin the season with the same load as at the end of the previous season. New drivers will receive ballast that is equal to the average amount amongst those carrying ballast (those with none will be excluded from the average calculation). Race Winner ... will have 30kg (66lb) weight added to their car at the next event. 2nd place will have 25kg (55lb) added. 3rd place will have 15kg (33lb) added. 4th place will have 10kg (22lb) added. 5th through 10th will remain the same weight. 11th through Last will have 10kg (22lb) removed, if carrying ballast. Just keeping things evened out. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 07, 2009, 06:47:58 AM I really, REALLY recommend everyone check the rules for the season, especially the "Conduct" section. I'll try to summarize some significant stuff...
- No manual engine restarts after refuelling in the pits. - 20sec penalty for speeding in the pit lane, per incident. - ALL pit lane activity will be reviewed by human eyes. - You can choose to do an on-the-spot stop-and-go to avoid a 20sec penalty for minor pit speeding or chicane cutting. So I think it's really important to know where the pit speed limit begins and get the car slowed down BEFORE you reach the line. If you realize after the fact that you were speeding, try to remember you have the option to stop-and-go. That is, pull the car to a dead stop (somewhere safe and off the racing line) and then immediately resume your race. Sure it's somewhat of a pain but it takes a lot less than 20 sec! I really hope to dish out zero penalties. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|ChITty on October 07, 2009, 09:47:19 AM Nice! I like that we have the opportunity to reduce our penalty if we acknowledge it and self penalize (by stopping)
A fresh start New skins New tracks More rounds New TotW challenge New strategic options (with increased tire wear) Same ballast :-\ (Buz we're doomed!) THIS GUY IS EXCITED! Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 07, 2009, 12:44:51 PM SKINS UP!

Also, what does mine have a on the rear wing? I'm not sure you have the latest version. Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 07, 2009, 01:44:02 PM Well, check it out and if need be I'll just roll any updates into a v2.1.
Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|Bretware on October 07, 2009, 02:02:27 PM Your screwing yourself with the weight!
Title: Re: GP Season 6 - Round 1 - Brno Post by: rip|buzinator on October 07, 2009, 02:47:47 PM Not if the racing is closer, that's more what i'm about than absolute results, I like the dicing.
