2hr Test/Qualifying Event: January 31st @ 18:00 GMT

[DeadWolfBones]

Hello, drivers!

We will be holding a two-hour event on Saturday, the 31st of January for all teams not already admitted into the 2009 season grid. This event will help the admins gauge teams' readiness to join the series. Finishing well in the event will not guarantee a spot in the series, nor will finishing poorly eliminate a team's chances. We just want to see you on the track. :thumbsup:

The race will be held at Blackwood GP, with no wind and clear day settings.

We will begin with a 30 minute "hardcore" qualifying session, as described in the series rules. The race will be run with all league rules in effect, so please have all your teammates study them before attending the event. Remember, punctuality and reliability are also things we're looking for, so please be on time.

If your team is on the list below, you are asked to attend this event:

01 Brazilian Racers Team OK
02 Estonian Endurance Racers OK
03 Capo ARG OK
04 Experion Renesis Racing Team OK
05 F1RST Racing OK

OK = stated intent to attend
NO = stated unable to attend

In this event (and ONLY this event) please use the number assigned to your team above. Your name should be set according to the series rules, using that number.

Team skins using the IGTC template are NOT required, but are desirable to aid the admins in distinguishing you.

Thanks, and see you on the track on the 31st!

Hello

I just wonder why my team is not on this list. We had applied for 2009 season here (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1040613#post1040613).

All fixed. Sorry about that. Also fixed Experion Renesis Racing.

Some numbers have shifted, so everyone should re-check. :thumbsup:

No, they're alphabetical. :scratchch

Cool guys, we will get ready.

[Dennis93]

we'll be there :)

[traxxion]

Count us in :)

[Kirill.D]

c4Racin will be there ;)

[J@tko]

We'll be there (Saucisse de Foie)

BTW, number of drivers needed? 2? Or is there not really a rule on that?

See you then.

BTW will we also be guinea pigs for any balancing if its needed?

[Gil07]

If you read the rules, you'd know no driver can drive more than 75% of the race distance, so you need at least 2 drivers ;)

[J@tko]

Yeah, I was thinking of more than 2 drivers :D

[Gil07]

You can do 3 or more if you want, but I do think that would slightly lessen your chances of doing well :D

[Mroziu]

All fixed.
Thx for quick fix :thumbsup:

[J@tko]

Yes hehe :tilt:

We kinda have a mix of experienced and n00b drivers, so I might just end up putting a non-n00b in for stint one and a n00b for stint 2.

Hmm, decisions.... :)

[DeadWolfBones]

Tbh, as we said we're not putting a huge premium on finishing well in this race. It's more about how you handle yourselves on-track and how competent you appear in general. Using more than the minimum required number of drivers would be an excellent idea if you have many inexperienced drivers on your roster. We'd encourage it, in fact.

[francoregattasc]

03 - capo arg - Present.

[DeadWolfBones]

Yep, too bad.

[fujiwara]

Nice, this will be interesting

We will be there, good luck to everyone :)

[luki97]

Waiting for this day:smileypul.

[joshdifabio]

I'm assuming teams are required to use at least two drivers during this race. I can't see this mentioned anyway, or is it supposed to be covered by the usual 75% rule?

[DeadWolfBones]

or is it supposed to be covered by the usual 75% rule?

Yep. All normal IGTC rules apply.

[Dragonmen]

If I may put some friendly suggestions to unproven teams (of course I'm not speaking about well known teams in the list):

1. Read the rules, don't be afraid to ask if you do not understand something.
2. Behave on track as it should be done. Respect others but do not be afraid in duels, unexpected maneuvers can be as dangerous as not taking enough attention to other racers on track.
3. Put on solid laps, constant driving is what counts in endurance race. Try not to make mistakes trying to be faster than you can.
4. Starting procedure is very important, I assume you'll be on special watch there. Practice it!
5. I guess there are teams that are not experienced with takeover procedure and pitting. Also practice that one!

[pacesetter]

As Dennis has stated we'll be there :thumb:

Count us in.

[Tomhah]

I guess I have to drive the first stint, due to H2h :P

[joshdifabio]

How very interesting.

[Storm_Cloud]

Ben, I have a suggestion...

Whilst there's every chance the safety car might come out just through normal racing incidents, perhaps you could consider reserving the right to throw a "competition yellow" to make sure all the teams are tested for that procedure. Safety cars and restarts are often the most contentious issues in races like these.

[DeadWolfBones]

There will definitely be a SC at some point in the test race. :smileypul

[Tomhah]

This will be a tough day. Three races the same day -.-

6 hours of Fern Bay starts 11:00 (qual 10:30) to 17:00 utc
IGTC test race starts 19:00 to 21:00
Head to Head series starts 20:00 to ?????

Will be an entertaining day. But we might get a problem, since everyone is signed up to h2h, but we will get enough drivers :)

[rcpilot]

I've never heard of these 'mercury' and 'f1rst' guys... As such I recommend an automatic disqualification from the league. :scratchch

^+1 to that :tilt:

Will the tracker be used on Saturday, and if so do you want a list of who is competing for which team, or will you just use the entire team roster?

[AleBerB]

mercury?..what mercury, freddie?
:D

[NelsonGPV]

After the test race the car we used will be the car to be used over the season?

If we can change car after the test race?

[BenjiMC]

No, car selection will be seperate from that event. We will be testing ballast during the test race also. When we have come to a decision on the ballast then the car selection process can begin properly.

[Rudy van Buren]

wenn will we hear what the ballast will be in the test race then? will be nice to have it intime to make a proper set with it.

[nesrulz]

The best is to be without restrictions, as in the MoE...

[Foqs]

The best is to be without restrictions, as in the MoE...
And we can change league name to FZR Cup

[nesrulz]

Yes, sad but true...

[fadeaway]

Why not dump the FZR and change league name to XRR and FXR Cup? :tilt: :razz:
:)

XRR only cup? :razz:

[Brilwing]

we are go ...

31 Guglhupf Racing Team

[NelsonGPV]

FZR wont have any ballast?,

Because we have been setting with no ballast and changing that last day will be a problem.

Please advice
:thumb:

[DeadWolfBones]

We are still deciding that, but for the moment it looks like we won't have a plan in place in time. Assume no ballast.

[nesrulz]

DWB, tell me about name format...
My team number is 22 (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1042859#post1042859)?

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5353/91075910fq7.png

This is OK?

[XmaX]

Read in Rules :)


2) Driver names should be formatted in the following manner:
(...)
for example
01 J.Smith

So it should be right

Max

[nesrulz]

I know rules.
I ask because team number...

RGDS

[XmaX]

Ok sry ^^
Should be right too, but only for this race.

Max ;)

[DeadWolfBones]

XmaX has it right.

[nesrulz]

Thx for info about numbers for this race... :)

[fadeaway]

becaus fxr is 4x4 and even more lame then a fzr imo :razz:
Hmmm didn't see you complain in iTCC.. :scratchch :razz:
Anyway you choose XRR if FXR is too lame :D

[Rudy van Buren]

There is no reason to complain becaus its just a 1 car leaque, but that doesnt mean i wont call it lame :D

[Mroziu]

Quick question about test race. Should we provide rooster for test race or we just can bring any or our subscribed (in application thread) races into test race?
