Hello all:

Practice session 7 for the 2009 Kyoto 250 will be held starting at 1900 UTC on Friday, 13th February 2009 (@ the date...creeeeepy, yeah ?).

It will be a 55 lap race, set to 57 for two pace laps. A green-flag pitstop will be required.

Also, starting with this session, please be familiar with the full restart procedure...lapped cars are permitted to start from the inside, up to being alongside with the leader. I'm not entirely set on really using this, but I'm now confident that people won't entirely bin it under SC that we can try it out.

Ill try to come, if there isnt another league.

I don't know if I'll be there, but I'll try to appear

I might be there, but it's Friday, nobody knows what I'm doing then.

i probably will be there...

I'll be there !

I will be there

I'll try to be there.

Green flag pitstop? So pitting under yellow doesn't count? Interesting...

I don't really understand the lapped cars inside on restarts procedure, could you explain it a bit more clearly for a noob such as me?

Okey... The rule was born in NASCAR. Lead Lap cars are racing on the right side of track, lapped cars on the inside of track. They sort that way most likely on the last lap of the SC-phase, but race director will tell you when. If you're not on the lead lap you can go onto the inside of the track and, eventually go parallel to the leading car. On restart you can even overtake the leading car. In the right line all lead lap cars are in racing order... on the left line all laped cars.

The sense behind it is the following: In NASCAR there are no Blue Flags (at least in the Oval). The lapped cars on the inside can overtake the cars on the outside and may unlap themselves. So you can gain a lap on lead lap cars witch may bring you back into the lead lap line of cars in the next caution. But I think the real reason for NASCAR to introduce it was to

Damn, I was about to submit a long post before something in my mind suddenly clicked...we have single file restarts! :doh: I understand now!

i'm in

Send me the pass, though I suspect I might have to duck out after an hour.

SERVER ISnt ONLINE !

Oh yeah guys, the server name has changed.

It's now:

NDR|Event Server

Sorry for the mix up - Joe was supposed to be PMing you

You could've told me the server name was going to change permanently...

Then I wouldn't have PMed some new entrants with the wrong info. I thought that you just changed it temporarily for some reason...

My drinking session will commence from 8pm tonight, so I won't be able to make it. Hopefully this weekend I wont come home and try to drive.

Can't make it, sorry guys.

Have I been to all required practice sessions? Or rather, was I credited with coming to session 5?

I'm sorry that I didn't get you flipped Yann

Bah, no worries mate.

Sorry Aj and those who suffered from the lap 5 crash (Yann especially :S)

100% my fault. Got a bit of contact with Aj in T3 (that wasn't so much my fault eh? :P) and then I was sure I cleared him and couldn't even hear his car at all I checked the mirrors and nothing I turn in and crash. :S

Also Stefan, that was a pretty cheap move when you pushed me into the wall in T3 and just kept going.

Protests ? Post 'em here before Sunday 1900 GMT for consideration.

Sorry for that, car went tight, and i coudlnt really do anything. Sorry.

Anyway, nice 3 fight with some 3-wides here.

And today the poeple beahved very much better then before, Race organisation couldnt have been better.

I made some mistakes, but that can happen

Got really frustrated by being rolled just after 2 laps of green flag racing, but bah, that's (sim)motoracing.

But anyway I don't think that standards were better tonight, we had a lot of avoidable incidents...


EDIT: At least I got the best speed... 257 kph ! Can I get a cookie for that?

i understand the need to not throw cautions too often, but maybe take into consideration the position of those involved? specifically lap 27 when Goga got loose and came down while we were in 2nd and 3rd respectively and i got spun, the 2nd of 4 times no less.......
not a big deal, but might be a good idea when it comes to the "leaders"
thx.
