time qualification of 15 minutes race of 25 laps, mandatory tyre change between lap 10 - 15
For the 8th round of CL20 we travel to Japan for the second time for a race on the Kyoto Ring "Grand Touring" Open-Config, this time with the NGTR cars, meaning the XFR and UFR, whereas the latter has to carry 16kg of ballast.
Qualifying prior to the race is a 15 minute long timed qualifying session. Every driver is free to do as many laps as they wish to do during the given time to achieve the best lap time possible. Any incured penalties must be served at the earliest opportunity, so pay attention to your speed in pit lane as well as the yellow pit exit blend line.
Following qualifying, there will be a 25 lap long race, including a mandatory pit stop between laps 10 and 15. Lap 10 will be in the earliest lap in which you may stop while lap 15 will be the last lap in which you may stop. Both lap numbers refer to the lap the pit lane is entered in. During your mandatory pit stop, all drivers must change all four tyres on their car.
A few days ago, I was told iRacing licensed Rockingham. I wondered if this changes anything, considering the LFS Version of Rockingham (to the better or worse)?
There is a clear tendency in the championship: 01 - CoRe C.Winkler leads it by 75 points from 53 - v\N.Morvai and by 108 points from third placed 03 - HoR Schuhti.
Today's race marks the first CityLiga race at the new Westhill. With the International reversed circuit suddenly getting rebranded to WE2r, quiet some effort had to be put into updating the tools. At this point, a big thankyou to avetere and splattael!
By the way: In yesterday's practice race, organised by the BurnoutCrew, 03 - HoR Schuhti, 01 - CoRe C.Winkler and 82 - [TC-R] Pete finished on the podium positions.
The race coverage starts tonight at 18:15 UTC Simrace.TV Channel 1.
Westhill International reversed (WE2R)
Day Clear (1), no wind (0) Raceabout (RAC) FZ50 (FZ5)
1 shot qualification of 10 minutes race of 32 laps, with a mandatory pitstop of 20 seconds minimum
The seventh race of the season takes place at the new Westhill International reversed with the Raceabout and FZ50.
The qualifying session is a 10-minute 1-shot qualifying: Every driver may drive only one timed laps within the time window. After completing the fast lap, the drivers have to join the spectators.
The race follows and is scheduled for 32 laps, starting after a lag lap. During the race a mandatory pitstop has to be served, with a minimum standing time of 20 seconds. The output of mpRes is the official standing time.
As usual, the pitlane exit blend line has to be respected and every driver may rejoin the race once, until the leading driver begins the third lap of the race. Also, if you are unable to attend the race, please withdraw from the race via the CL-status script until April 29th, 2015 18:30 UTC.
The third CL20 grid qualifying runs from Mon 13.04.2015 22:00:00 UTC until Fri 24.04.2015 21:59:59 UTC with the FZ50 and RAC at Westhill International reversed.
Every participant has 10 laps on this combo to set a fast time. The GridQuali-server aren't server for training and every lap driven too much will be penalized as written in the rules at the end of the GQ.
A lap counts with passing the first split. You are able to cancel a lap before the first split without debiting your lap account.
You can check your driven laps both in the tracker and ingame after leaving the pitlane. If something is wrong or problems occur it's your responsibility to tell us via PM or write a post in the related thread immediately.
Because the GridQuali is an official part of the season please drive with your starting number and ingame-name according to the rules.
There is no duty to participate in the GQ, but laptimes naturally increase the chances of a place in a (highest possible) grid.
We are always trying to applicate new sign-ins as fast as possible into the tracker (e.g.). However, this is a purely manual process and can't always be done immediately. Even if your name is not appearing in the Tracker, you can drive laps right after sign-in as they are recorded in any case, even without displaying in the tracker. This follows then as soon as we have added you into it.
Before CityLiga moves foreward to new soil and to a new GridQualifying, we see the start of the second half of the season with a 63 point lead in the championship for 01 - CoRe C. Winkler. Although others climbed up the podium he scored more points then his main opponents. But five more races are infront of the competitiors and things can be turned upside down, starting with the Formula BMW, probably the oldest car in Live for Speed, at the old Fern Bay Gold track.
The race coverage starts tonight at 18:15 UTC Simrace.TV Channel 1.
Fern Bay Gold (FE3)
Dusk Overcast (3), no wind (0)
Formula BMW (FBM)
lap qualification of 1 lap, drivers are called up
race of 52 laps
The oldest car at the oldest-seeming track venue. The Formula BMW at Fern Bay Gold.
It all starts with a lap-limited qualfying session, in which every driver is called in by the race admin one after another. A quick out-lap and two consecutive hot-laps follow the call. With the end of the second timed lap, the driver must join the spectator mode. Excessive tirewarming is prohibited during the out-lap and penalties, for crossing the yellow pit-exit blend line i.e., have to be served immediately.
The race follows and is scheduled for 52 laps, starting after a lag lap.
As usual, the pitlane exit blend line has to be respected and every driver may rejoin the race once, until the leading driver begins the third lap of the race. Also, if you are unable to attend the race, please withdraw from the race via the CL-status script until April 15th, 2015 18:30 UTC.
The race takes place in Live for Speed Version 0.6H. So our servers are also up to that version.
The CityLiga Server are now running on 0.6H, so the most recent version. Moreover the calendar stays as it was announced, concerning a potential change of the order of the combos of rounds 7 and 8.
How long are the sign-ups open? Or stay they open until the end? Sadly I already cannot do the first two ones, so I'd like to wait until closer to the events.
I'm not NDR nor do I speak for NDR. But not having the 'know-how' or 'experience' are no excuses :P There is always a point where someone without experience starts doing something and gains it while doing it.
