WELCOME TO ROUND 4 AT ALGARVE

The 2010 FIA GT1 Algarve Round was an auto race held at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Portimão, Portugal on September 17-19, 2010. The FIA GT1 race served as the seventh round of the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship season, the greater Portimão Supercar event and was joined by the FIA GT3 European Championship, GT4 European Cup and Superleague Formula. The former FIA GT Championship raced on the Algarve circuit back in 2009.

Mandatory pitstop

This event has a mandatory pitstop to change all 4 tires, just like the official series.
The pitstop window is between 35 and 25 minutes to go.

 

Penalty for missing the pit window

After discussing the DQ penalty for missing the pit window with my fellow admins, we concluded that a DQ might be too harsh a penalty.
So the penalty for missing the pit window is from this event on a drive-through in the next event or a 30-second time penalty on the final result (if it's the last event).

 

From the little testing I did at Algarve, I noticed that there are also here a few moments where the car gets "pulled" into an oversteer situation.
Exciting stuff. This has to do with a few crests.
You can manage this pretty easy as long as you know what you're doing or should be doing to counter this.
The most important thing to remember is to keep your steering wheel as straight as possible and don't push full throttle over them.
If you do that, it's not a problem.

 

Drivers briefing

1. This event will be broadcasted
Broadcast team: EithaRacingTeam
Broadcasters: Nassim, Lorenzo & Sameer
Twitch broadcast link: https://www . twitch . tv / eitharacing (delete the spaces)

2. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
1. You run out of fuel in pit lane before reaching your pit stall.
2. You sustain damage to your car as a result of another driver and cannot make it back to your pit stall. You must prove your qualifying session was wrecked by another driver and that you made an attempt to return to pit lane.

If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

3. Algarve Conditions
1) The race will start at 02:00 PM (in-game time of course)
2) Time acceleration is normal
3) The race will be 100% dry
4) Cut Track points are set to 7

4. Formation lap and rolling start.
Right after leaving the last corner, we double file in qual order. When the pole-sitter crosses the start line, the race begins.

5. There is a mandatory PIT WINDOW to change all 4 tires between 35 and 25 minutes to go until the finish.
Even if you pitted before the pit window, you still have to pit during the pit window to change all 4 tires.
There is no margin. There is a drive-through penalty for the next event or a 30-second time penalty, even if you are 1 second early or late.

6. The pole-sitter will do the formation lap approx. 120 km per hour.

7. The server password will be changed on race day. You can find the password for the race server on the Algarve event page.

8. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

9. No-shows (keeping the entry list real)
If a driver does not show without unregistering for that event or letting us know that he can't make it on the event forum, he will be removed from the series.
If he is no longer interested in the series, it's fine like it is.
If he forgot about the event, he can sign up for the series again.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the event you can't do.)

10. You can find the server by first typing sro

11. Please use the same name in the rFactor 2 game as on our signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.

12. Last but not least ... SIMRACINGONLINE wishes you a great race!

Yeah, great fight Johnny, but was a little too late braking in the pitlane and got a stop & go. End of the battle going forward.
In the second stint I made a mistake with Rob and I crashed. That also took Coelo out. Sorry guys, my bad.
