Probably not very well, one driver went way over the allowed lap limit.

Ok, one funny sad situation. My 2nd stint, I hitting in AIR and than I was hitted by the air because my modem stop working for a while!!!

Look at replay.

:/

My Qualy positions was actually better than i expected but a better time would have been possible.

Race started really good for us and after pitting on P10, Sascha suddenly came out on P6 and could keep it for a long time. After approx 30 laps of the stint he spinned in the last corner after a fight with a TDRT driver (can't judge this cause I didn't see it) and lost 2 positions. After the pit stop I took over and lost two positions in the first laps but when I was meant to get them back and even get one more I just flipped around after the chicane in Kenneth's slipstream, cause my car flew higher than normal so that was the end of our race :/

Thanks to the admins and all teams for a hard and difficult but really fair and exciting race

Prety good race for SRLT,

After not so good 23rd in quali after few laps we was in TOP 20, unlucky that we got some crash with made some damage, it was driveable, but 1st pit was very long and due to this we lost lap to most of teams. Second stint gone well without losing any positions third was good too without any big stuff to remember. Time come to last stint, we done a pit during SC period and I had to do 1h 20min, so I was prety unsure if I will make this. Thanks god 2 SC came out during last 30 mins and I managed to save fuel and tyres. After 1st SC period in last hour I was pushing hard to catch up 15th position but SC again and I spined during it by trying to warm tyres witch was very cold so lost some time. After restart only 3 or 4 minutes was left and was pushing hard as I can to catch them but no luck and left 16th in server. Thanks all for clean race !

Bad start for TDRT in the season. Looked promising until we got damage in a lag accident. The flip and end of race 45 mins. before race finish.
We try again next round at Kyoto.

Before round 2, there are some rules league admins might want to have a second look at:
K 1.1: SC laps announcement
A 3.1: Wind announcement
Nothing was announced 24 hours before the race, maybe there´s no need for this rule.
C 1.1: Skins
There can only be two options according to the rules: A correct one or a wrong one. If you feel that a correct skin is very important, personally I don´t, you need to punish all teams with a wrong skin..
My suggestion: Think about changing this rule and give the teams some credit here, possibly a post race warning only.
G 4: Race re/start conduct - tire warming allowed incombination with
K 4: SC - tire warming NOT allowed.
I can´t see a point in having two different rules were the race situations are about the same.
But: In case you don´t want to allow tire warming under SC periods, you need to force drivers on the server to do so, otherwise take this rule off the book again. It can´t even get post-race protested acc. to the rules, it looks like.
K 3.1: Pit closed
I wondered how some teams got a lap back yesterday, as they all of sudden were to be found in between the leading two cars and the car on 3rd place. It´s a guess only, but I think this "pit exit closed" doesn´t work the way it should.
J 1: Max. 3 driver changes / 6 for the 8 hours
In general, I can´t see the reasoning for this rule. Fact is, it kills all pitstop flexibility and forces the teams to go at least 1 hour stints or a driver to do a double-stint. It basically forbidds shorter then 1 hour stints, which btw. isn´t always possible to do with the FXR, like on a track like BL on r3r3 fx.. 4 driver changes would be better I think. XRR teams wouldn´t like to see a rule like: "Min. 3 driver changes" either on a 4 hours race.
K 2.4: "When the SC crosses the line on the first full SC period lap, all lapped cars between the leader and the last lead-lap car will be instructed by the race marshals to pass the leader and proceed to the rear of the queue, maintaining relative position."
"Adapted from Formula 1 a ... this very rule came from.

Yesterday the gap from 5th (Error) to 6th (MoS) was 9 seconds only.
5th to 10th position was about 20 seconds only.
Then the SC came and 5th ( 4th as well ) was lucky to be inbetween 2nd and 3rd, the last car on the leading lap.
This rule gave a few teams a + 1 lap present and I think thats one of the worse rules I´ve ever seen in racing. It´s "a pure luck rule" to be on a lucky spot and doesnt really motivate any team to let a car pass under blue flag, does it? AFAIR this rule was made and later on modified to make it easier for the leading teams not to have to battle with backmarkers on a SC restart.
Did it work yesterday? No, it didn´t.
Only 1st,2nd,3rd didn´t have a blue flagged car in front. 4th way back with a + 1 lap present, then 5th position with loads of backmarkers in front, but also presented a +1 lap...
What I mean here is: Let the leading teams battle backmarkers on a SC restart or give ALL teams not on the lead lap this + 1 lap present. I´m not sure if I´m the only one thinking this rule misses its point completly the way it is at this moment.
And with 3 teams overtaking under SC period like yesterday, illegally re-gaining their race positions, this very rule the way it is now is not at all to handle online by admins, I´m afraid.

I hope you can use some of my comments here.

As you all know, DWB isn't around anymore. This was usually something he did while i organised streaming, servers etc. I simply didn't give myself enough time to get everything done with the extra workload from the test race too, so by the time i remembered the post race breifing it was the morning of the race and i had to sort out the tracker which was giving us some problems.

The skins are very important, especially with a stream. I did give a pre race warning about skins. If i missed any then it is purely by mistake.

It should be allowed in both, i didn't spot that tyre warming rules were there twice, this will be changed before round 2.

The Race Director application wasn't working well at all yesterday, which is why the very final SC period went so horribly wrong.

I disagree, long and short stints are still capable. I think it also adds more to the endurance aspect of the series

Expect a big change to this rule for round 2.

Well about letting some cars to overtake SC and for some no was rly disapointing. Maybe we should have same rule as in last year 8h race, all cars allowed to take lap back under SC, or do not allow any overtaking under sc

Last nigth we had a lead of almost 50 seconds for the 5th place and when the safety car came they "glued" to us

Computer problems for Peron and we couldn't contact Adriaenssens in time :s
