    I also like your youtube videos, fun to look at and also a different perspective from the experience I was having when I was doing the race. E.g. drafting with three cars and the choices to make when to draft when not to etc.

    I did not get "pissy" Darrel. I have pointed out to you that you did not do the mandatory pitstop to change all 4 tires. Instead, you only stopped for fuel for 11 seconds.
    That gave you a big unfair advantage over the other drivers when you knew that you had to change the tries.
    That is the reason you got Disqualified. The standing will be adjusted today.

    None of my business as I wasn't in the race (and John will probably delete this again) but reading through this thread.

    Re Darrel

    Champ page says -
    1. We are driving the 2018 version. This event affects ranking and stats.
    2. Formation lap
    3. Mandatory pitstop

    No mention of a mandatory tyre change

    Earlier in the forum, John posted..
    you need to stop between 30 and 40 minutes into the race. That's the pitwindow.
    You can't add fuel so you only have to change all 4 tires. That's it.

    This post of obviously incorrect as Darrel did add fuel as posted by John in the above post
    I have pointed out to you that you did not do the mandatory pitstop to change all 4 tires. Instead, you only stopped for fuel for 11 seconds

    So if Darrel did make the mandatory stop, and as you have posted, he took on fuel, the he has fulfilled the mandatory stop criteria.

    I'm just saying this, as not many read the forums, and many don't have chat in car(if you mentioned 4 tyre change in game before race), so in some bigger grids, some would not even have known about needing to do a tyre change.

    There was a question from Barrett on the forum to specify the rule about the mandatory pitstop and I answered him with:
    you need to stop between 30 and 40 minutes into the race. That's the pitwindow.
    You can't add fuel so you only have to change all 4 tires. That's it.

    That clearly states that you have to change all 4 tires, regardless of fuel.
    In the warmup session I also mentioned that you have to change all 4 tires and Darrel commented on it, so he knew he had to do it.

    As Admin I only remove posts that are inappropriate, as is my job.

    "- The way setup changes were made and the effects it had differed from my expectations."

    I noticed that as well, when adjusting the shocks, but then discovered by going all the way to the extreme, that the "+" click was actually softening the setting. After that realization changes were more predictable. A quirk that i didn't think detracted from the mod that much once i was used to it.

    That is correct.

    Every driver in the event except one changed tires durng their pitstop. It was mentioned in the chat during warmup and also in the race forum. If you were in the event you would have seen the information. Because you were not a participant in the event, I don't know why you are commenting on this now. Your comments add no useful informaton to the discussion and future negative comments may be deleted by the SRO Admin, not by John.
