Damn good point. I see bumping of cars at every event due to trying to put heat in the tires and such. Everyone needs to give a lot more space to do this than there is being given.
The tires are warmed up in a lap or less at race speed.
How much is it worth to screw up your or someone elses event by stupid crap like this. GROW UP PEOPLE!
Is there a a nice person inhere willing to translate the IGTC-ruleset in German or Danish?
I don´t understand rules E and H anymore. I now have spent a lot of time and I still don´t understand these rules the way they are right now.
Comment BenijMC:
"Just for clarification, The 2 car rule is for when your NOT on your pit limiters. As soon as the "Fall in line, Pit limiters on" message is displayed your supposed to fall in line, bunch up and activate pit limiters, thus 2 cars is no longer in force. You can try to bunch up by de-activating the pit limiter BRIEFLY however."
and:
"Secondly my post above as a reply to John Holme is wrong, you are meant to keep the 2 car gap when on pit limiters."
Comment banshee56:
"We were told over Ventrilo by Benji, that we could disengage the Pit Limiters if we needed to regulate the gap."
2. Banshee's comment indicates that Benji told the teams on Vent that they could briefly disengage limiters to maintain the 2-car gap (see rule 1.2). This would be the two CoRe teams. It was the more expedient way to inform them (rather than typing in-game) but it may not have been technically correct.
Over the next month or so Benji and I are going to be drafting up our plan for season 2, as well as the rules adjustments, and I hope to have those ready by the 1st of the new year.
I was just wondering what the status of the rules on the IGTC webpage is, particularly if the points allotments are finalized (staying the same as last year)?
Anywho, great work, looking forward to seeing you all on a (cloudy) Blackwood!
What do the rules state if a person fries there clutch, are they aloud to spend time in the pits waiting for it to cool down? or is it an instant retirement?
Sitting in the pits that is if they can make it there.
Overheated clutch is certainly not an instant DQ. A driver whose clutch has overheated should limp back to the pits if it's severe or continue at a slower pace if it's not so bad.
We're discussing this at the moment. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on how it goes in the 24hr MoE race that's coming up on the 19th, as that should be a pretty definitive test of how well balanced the cars are.
After that, if it looks good we'll roll with it. If not, we'll look into balancing.
