Working together on track

I want to share some thoughts on multiclass racing for people that haven't done this before;

- The P2's should not go crazy flashing their headlights every time they want to pass a GTE. I've been on both sides of the fench, and it's very annoying having a hyperactive pinball machine behind you 13 x per lap. Just flash your lights once to indicate you are there and are setting up a pass.
*****************************
- P2's can not divebomb the GTE's. If you can not get alongside a GTE in the brakingzone easy, then you are too late for the pass. Simple.
****************************
- GTE's should always hold their line and racingspeed, unless the P2 is already besides you.
****************************
- It is up to the P2 to conduct the pass savely. GTE's don't have to "help" P2's by getting out of the way or slowing down. By keeping his line and speed, the GTE is predictable and the P2 always knows where the GTE is going and how fast. Thus, you are helping him to pass you and prevend repairtime.
***************************
- If you as a P2 driver get irritated or frustrated by GTE's "getting in the way", then you are missing the point of multiclass racing. Working traffic is 50% of the game. How good (and save) you are doing this determents your raceresult. You will rarely get a "clean" lap. The fastes P2 driver is the best traffic worker who doesn't spend time in the pits for repairs.

 

Sorry, but the calendar will not be changed. It creates chaos and SRO doesn't have the room on the schedule to swap events around as some dates are reserved for other upcoming series.

It's not so difficult these days to record the F1 races. You'll have something to look forward to after the SRO events .

 

All GTE cars are now free to choose

It's becoming too much of a hassle to keep track of who has what car in what race, as quite a few drivers only sign up for 1 race, or unregister for some races, or leave completely without saying anything, or are a red light and request a car. The "Select you car here" list is becoming a mess. I'm going to make it easy on myself and the drivers.

Short version: from now on you can choose what ever GTE car you like.

 

Because it causes so much debate, I will start a poll to see what the majority wants with regard to keeping the same car throughout the series.
Most votes win. Closes after 12 days.

View Poll:

Poll outcome: Must drivers keep same GTE car they started the first race with? = YES

With only a few day to go untill the poll closes, the outcome stays static on;
19 for
5 against

A clear decision.

We had agreed that I'm not alone responsible for checking if drivers keep the same car they started with.
The drivers themselvse are also responsible for reporting it to me if they see someone change to a different GTE car make. I will check it and DQ the driver from that event if correct.

 

Yes, that is correct. Max 32 for each race.
You might want to try the P2 class. The max there is 13. You would be the first red light with a much better change of getting in.

 

Yes, there is 1 P2 place free. Max is 13. Be sure to use the "low drag" aero package in tuning.

 

I've asked the broadcasters to start the YouTube link up, so I can upload it on SRO. Should be on the top of the mainpage when it's ready.
