Re: Spec V8 Supercars Rules and Schedule

Morphader:

Friday Nights @ 12Midnight BST, 7PM EST, 4PM PST, Sat AM AU is the closest thing to an "International" race time I could find... any earlier is too early for Americans to be home from work, and too early for Australians to wake up, yet not entirely too late for many Europeans. Roughly half of the entries are British, and there have been Germans in these series as well.

I have set it up so that with the 1 lap qually, and two 20 minute races, the whole meeting is done in about one hour.

is there any mandatory vinil?

is it too late to sign up?

^^ No mandatory vinyls. Just your TORA number on the sides and roof or hood. And a TORA logo somewhere on the car.

^ Not too late to sign up.

Note: Starting Procedure: Standing Start @ 10 sec on the race clock.

This is a variant of the TCC/NATCC Standing Start, without the 3 minutes it takes to do a formation lap and the potential restarts due to lag on the formation lap.

I realize it may lead to other issues, but its something I'd like to try.

May I ask why Mikey? If I understand this correctly, then the race loads, countdown goes 3...2...1...Go, and we wait a further 10 seconds to start?

Looking forward to this Mikey cant wait ti get back to Friday night racing!

I think he is trying to have reaction times play a role in this.

Ahh. Cheers Bandit, didn't think about it that way.

I think the 10 second start worked on par with the formation lap standing start.

I am seriously leaning towards Cosmetic Damage to minimize restarts, and seeing how laggy things can be with a truly international grid, minimizing damage is the right thing to do for these cars.

Are gears forced Manuel?

by **Ax4x Broomz** Fri 26 Apr 2013 - 17:39

I think so you have to check with Mikey. He may allow Auto.

I allow Auto trans to accommodate anyone's situation or skills. In the end, using a clutch is the quickest way, and Automatic tends to be the slowest.
