When you say CET does that mean I should adjust for daylight saving time? I.e. UTC + [2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2] for the 8 rounds?
EDIT: CET means UTC + 1 imo. If you mean UTC + 2 / UTC + 1 depending on the time of year then it's a bit clearer for me if you say French time, German time, Dutch time or whatever. Is the latter what you want?
EDIT 2: Is it correct that the car choice is unknown for the bonus round or should I put GTR?

Who is going to be responsible for uploading the replays?
FXR in the fastest class looks competitive to me. Same straight line speed as the FZR and faster through the corners, so it could actually be worth choosing for once.
Simon actually had sectors for a 9.7 in the XRR today. Although Egon and Maddee managed 9.3s, Egon did all his best sectors on the same lap and Maddee's best sectors only came to a 9.2 so I think the best lap times are a bit misleading.
It looks like Spicy and Phil have got GT2 covered

It'd be good if we could get a couple of the aliens involved, really, since you can trust them to get pretty much everything out of the cars. Seems they're a bit difficult to summon nowadays... :P

Why force a driver change in either session? Isn't the purpose of this to get as much testing done as possible?
I think it might be better to name the new class differently. It seems a bit misleading to use the name 'GT2' for what is now called GT1, and GT3 for what is currently known as GT2. Maybe something like GTX or GTP (for Prototype), or something else! Or is the new GT2 actually likely to be quite different to the old GT1?
Maybe it's too premature for this kind of discussion or the admins have already decided upon the class names. Just thinking aloud.

Might it make sense to test GT1 and GT3 together so that we can see how extreme the speed difference is? Or is there a specific reason for running the GT2 class twice?
Weird, I was able to move the thread to the Leagues & Events subforum ^^.
As zeug pointed out, it belongs in here really.

Thanks. I think I'd prefer the Baltic Cup to provide qualifying replays this season in the same way all the other leagues are required to do. I realise that you don't know all the dates and times for qualifying sessions yet. What do you know? Are they always 60 mins long?
Actually I have to apologise to Phil because I misread his post. I thought he said that people were moaning about the new class but I think he was actually referring to people moaning about the state of LFS and the devs' work in general, which I agree happens (and which I myself partake in :P). Sorry.
In case it isn't already clear; I personally would welcome a new class - even if the class itself isn't what I'd choose I'd prefer something new/different over nothing.

You're missing the point. That was an opinion relayed from two other people. I was stating my (or their) opinion(s). At no point do I bash other people for having different opinions. Do you understand yet?
I can understand your frustration with people not testing stuff as much as you'd like, but that just isn't going to change. People are entitled to different opinions and you shouldn't bash people for simply feeling differently than you do.
A lot of the people who have stopped competing in LFS aren't the sort of people who post on the forum. I haven't tested the new class myself, no - I can't even mount my wheel to my current desk - but I'm relaying what others have said to me.
If the aim of the changes is to make things more enjoyable for the people who are already active then fine, this will probably do. But imo the people who can't be bothered to spend more than five laps practicing for an event because they're bored of LFS aren't going to persevere for hours with a car which feels 95% the same as something they've driven for the past four seasons.
A lot of people won't bother to test this stuff for a useful amount of time, but there's just nothing we can do about that. A couple of times last season people started races for us without even doing a lap before the event - that's not something every team can control.
This isn't an attack, it's just my opinion. Not many people are offering any critique and the fact that I haven't driven the new cars isn't going to change any time soon.

Who is moaning? This thread is here for people to offer their opinions. Grow up and learn that not everyone feels the same as you about everything.
Most people seem to be suggesting that the new class handles almost identically to the old one, so it might be worth spending a bit more time testing it before deciding that the increase in engine output is too dramatic.
I agree that people want a new challenge but I don't really think that the prospect of making new setups is likely to be all that appealing to the majority of competitors. It's more about having something new to drive imo and for that reason I think it would be nice if the car was significantly different to what we have now, i.e. something which provides a new challenge on the track as well as in the garage.
"it feels the same."
800bhp plz?

Don't forget the 5+ second per pit-stop advantage that the turbos have over the FZR as a result of not having to take on as much fuel.
