What is allowed / how frequently / etc?  Looked back through the rule set and I thought I remembered it being in there but didn't see any details.

Reason I ask is that we have a couple of our stints listed as "Driver Not in Team" and I'm assuming that the spirit of the driver replacement regulations were intended to be emergency, with the team staying consistent through the season.  Want to make sure that is in fact the case.

I had a note to add Darkzer back in since he was emergency subbed out. I've made that change.

You can bring in a substitute driver at any time as long as you notify Race Control in advance and they are not currently registered with another endurance team. Also, if you have a substitute, that counts as one of your 5 drivers allowed for the event, so if you have 5 drivers and substitute one of them with a non-team member, you must arrange the other stints so that you do not have more than 5 total drivers participating. In some cases, that means the driver you substituted for will not be able to race any subsequent stints, so plan accordingly.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Hoping for a eventful stint 3

I'll see you there

😃😃

I think your gonna see me a few times lol

Make it easy for me, otherwise F4H's DP will just pull away lol

Lol yes sir will do .

The Rebellion is all about corners. Forget about the straights. F4H's DP will pass you on the straight before I catch you

Hahaha the ford gtlm is all about corners but no straight . Ill let you gents go through as easy as possible

We will offer bribes in units of catnip to GT cars that don't obstruct the red/green/black/yellow/silver/blue/white Rebellion driven by a ginger blind idiot, and a more sensible team mate

gtfo James, earn it!

Lol dont listen to diablo lol its mind games lol

I just want to remind the drivers from continental Europe to set their hud settings to english (feet/miles) ... por favor

Vielen Dank!

No way you're still at a high 2 lol

Mass lagg outs in B lobby. Lost half the gts just waiting to start.

Shame the hosts internet was not up to the job.

apologies to anyone that I caused any form of incident with in B lobby stint 2>

I have now been 23hr without sleep and was really affecting my driving.

GT cars were fantastic but I do apologise for that early incident, was entirely my fault.

driving after such a long period of no sleep is not a good idea

In stint 5 I was having by far my best performance of the night, and with 4 minutes left I hit the wall in the first corner and had to drive an entire lap with 100% engine damage and no headlights to get to the pits, and I ended up being 2.08 miles behind a driver I was 8000 ft ahead of before the accident... So in total I lost about 19000 ft from the wreck with 4 minutes to go... So mad at myself🙁

I didn't find out until just after the race that only the first stint was supposed to have a full warm up lap. Stints 2 & 3 (B lobby) that I know of, were done the same way. I wanted to make sure this was pointed out & hope there is some way the marshalls can compensate for this. Undoubtedly a few fingers to be waved towards those stewards as well.

I did the full parade lap as was seen in later stints that the short time to get people in their correct places was not enough time sorry for the inconvenience just trying to give everyone their best shot

Our team had the rough end of the stick all race, everything that could have gone against us, did. But we hung in there. Our car had class leading potential pace which is why it was considered for more BoP but I'm glad no action was taken in class otherwise it would have been dreadful. It just was not consistent at all and relied on corner speed which in traffic was difficult to keep. And it got mugged off so bad on any straight.

But credit to the team, we committed to it and got it there. Congrats to F4H too, that's almost checkmate in the enduro championship.

Congrats to F4H on a dominant win 🍻

As James said our race was filled with issues (massive appologies to Amarth, I completely wiped him out into turn 1 when I totally misjudged the GTs turn in point. 😐) however I do feel the start procedure for stints 2-6 could be looked at for the next round. If there had been a ford instead of a corvette behind it would have driven clean past with no defence possible. As it was it was extremely difficult to keep the start position for the first half lap. Personally I think if we had started out of the previous corner instead of the bridge it would have helped a little.

All in a good event which ran on time. Well done to all organisers.
