V8 Camino Event - Qualifying

No problem, just don't want to miss someone out who wants to come racing.

I was well rusty on FM3 and set a time straight away as no one esle was around. We basically put the team together a couple mins before hand. I'm now in the 31's and hoped that being such a long race you would be scoring on race time/distance achieve, so it wouldn't matter which lobby you started in.

Can this be reconsidered please or for such a long race where finishing and being careful will play a MUCH larger part?

Cheers ears

yeah. bathurst is a clear 1000KM race. so it should be whoever gets to the race distance the quickest.

The trouble with scoring by distance/time is recording the data is difficult - you only get a few seconds at the end of the race to get all the info down or you miss it. This was considered when deciding the scoring format.

I did say to you on Tuesday that there were 3 other qualifying sessions coming up and that you didn't have to rush and set your times that night....

The race will work like LMS in terms of being number of laps completed in the 70mins, so it is still perfectly plausible to pass people in a lobby above you, escpecially if they have a safety car and you don't.

perfect.

fair enough. Cheers for explanation.

I vote for no safety cars, keeps it fairer, makes people concentrate more, helps stop silly dives, and when safety cars bunch people back up theres more likely to be another safety cars as a result!!

i was ready for this weekend's qualy session, but i will have to postpone til next weekend's. Sorry Chris. But i will be ready next week!

We will still have safety cars as usual, but I will brief the lobby hosts before-hand and we'll only call safety cars for the more "severe" incidents (e.g. those that leave multiple cars limping back to the pits).

im in for tonight if your running a lobby.Need to work heavily on tune but should be ready.

job done.Thats a very tricky track when your on the limit.Grazed the barrier a good few times in practice before qual but kept it clean to set my personal best time.

indeed, this track can grab your attention if you dont get it right. in my own practices, i seem to tag the guard rail ever so lightly (the part where the evironment drops off a cliff) at least once per session. i have also been trying with and without TCS, and i just need to confirm that qualy is in 2 15-minute session. Cuz if so, i might use both sessions to compare my tcs & non-tcs times/consistency

They are single 15min sessions - one on Saturday and one on Tuesday before the race. You can only run in one session.

ah, ok then.

sorry about not being there last night i went out with a few mates and forgot about quali, kind of glad now though as i've just found about a second with an updated tune so im now really ready to qualify on tuesday

There's no quali this Tuesday, only next Saturday at 10pm, then the night of the race (Tues 9th) at 7:30pm.

Ahhhh ok cheers

ill do next saturday, need to get into the 32's

Anyone who hasn't set a qualifying time for Tuesday's event race has another chance tonight at 10pm UK time. Also, if you haven't signed up to race on Tuesday yet, and would like to, there is still time to get in on the action, so what are you waiting for?!

Meh why not i'll qualify tonight

im in 2night

how are you getting on around here duncan??

im about 3tenths off chris so will see if i can match his time 2night is going to be awsome event though lol first lap down the "mountain" will be intresting lol

Will there be another qualifying session on either Monday or Tuesday. Other then that, my fellow Jamie still needs to send me the car back.

Seeing how I am still waiting for it to be painted and so forth.

Tuesday at 7:30pm GMT SHARP is the final chance to qualify. We will not be waiting. As soon as the xbox clock strikes 7:30 we will start the qualifying session. I know that may sound harsh, but we have to get it done and the starting grid sorted ready to start the race at 8pm. If you miss qualifying you can still race, starting at the back of the grid.
