I sure hope you guys don't run as slow as you did last year at Brno.

Just kidding

Whats up with the weight?

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.

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.

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!

Crap, I had a couple of small changes I made to Kalian's last night. 

Also, what does mine have a on the rear wing?  I'm not sure you have the latest version.

[rip|buzinator]

Well, check it out and if need be I'll just roll any updates into a v2.1.

Your screwing yourself with the weight!

Not if the racing is closer, that's more what i'm about than absolute results, I like the dicing.
