    Are you going to list the car/skin choices so we don't replicate John?
    Also it'll let me choose something less Porky for some variety if everyone picks the K3 in Div 1!

    I'll send you my prefered K2, and then a 'backup' car/skin that you can chuck me into if the Porsche is over popular ;)

    Sure, I can do that. I'll post an inventory list later :)

    Sorry about the question, but how long is the race ? I found nothing about the race length :(

    All races are 60 minutes.

    I am presented with a problem for 3 chosen tracks.
    Brands Hatch
    Imola
    Nordschleife

    Although we have increased the number of pit boxes from 24 to 32 for those tracks with the patch (you should always make a backup first),
    acServiceManager doesn't let me put more in than 24 cars. So I can only set up 24 cars on the server for those tracks. I think that patch was made for single player only as it doesn't work in acServiceManager.
    We can either reduce the field to 24 cars for the whole series or choose 3 new tracks from the list that can hold 30 cars.

    What does the league want?
    Vote results for tracks list

    Just asking why not 2x25min and second race reverse grid? It would be much more fun than running 60min alone.

    Cool :)
    The ground rules for the series have already been laid down and we don't change the rules once the series has been launched unless there is a technical problem that needs to be fixed. But feel free to suggest this in a following series. :)

    I meant to ask, John. I don't see that there is a Mandatory pit stop w/ tire change as there was in the TC League. Is that correct or am I simply missing something noted in the rules somewhere?
     
  14. John vd Geest

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    A mandatory pitstop was not discussed by the league. So it's not mandatory. But as I understand from testers, the Endu tires won't last for 60 minutes. So there's that.
    But that's hear-say.

    Affirm. Thank you!

    John, are the pitbox increased tracks the OSRW versions? These work as we've used them at Srou in the past if whatever you have are no good
    I think they also add a second track rather than over-writing the stock ones. I'd have to dig through racedepartment and/or my spare HDD to find them but am sure they were some of the first community mods for AC

    The pitbox patch works fine for Brands and the Nords, I just don't see a OSRW in acServerManager for Imola.

    Hi Guys,
    i have choice the Lardo Monastir for Brands Hatch ( DIV 2 ) and would ask, if anybody have some lap times from the DIV 1?
    I hope the DIV 2 vehicles can cause a little trouble against the DIV 1 ?!?!?!

    John vd Geest Administrator Staff Member Donator

    Haven't tested yet. Only did a few rounds on other tracks, but when those tires are warm ... Wow, these cars go man!!

    Edit: just did a few laps in the Lardo Monastir on default setup and came to 1.33.087. Probably too slow LOL.

    Mid 29's in the 1H on Endurance tires and 50Ltrs fuel - I think the Lancia will equal or better that time based on my own testing :)
    That said I still have to do some work on the Porsche to try and make it corner with out getting too loose when the tires get old, so I might go faster yet - 2H, 1N, Aero etc should be in the low 28's to mid 27's based on the testing here on the server
