Same, its been calculated between me and Steve as he reckons we could see the fast guys go 2 seconds faster than him and myself that's the assumption we have come to.

Calculation: 3600s / 102s = 35.2

So we'll round up to be safe. It's a risk of course we may run over an hour bu the nearer the event gets if some drivers are even quicker then expected we should have it at an hour or there abouts

Why cant you just set the server to laps instead of the hour?

MAT

MikeTrus · #53 02-07-2010, 02:41 PM

That's what we're doing we're working out the laps

Rossi · #54 02-07-2010, 02:55 PM

why cant you set the server too time instead of laps

MikeTrus · #55 02-07-2010, 02:57 PM

As you can see half the league wants laps other half time. We did time in the prac races but it led to people being confused on how many laps. So we're going with laps for the season and try and get it as close to the hour as we can

TVproducer · #56 02-07-2010, 05:23 PM

why cant you set the server to go backwards in time?

eh ehm did i wrote that lol

people just need to take a look at the times on the server, and then take a calculator or from the top of your head, it's not that difficult now is it

GregMetcalf · #60 02-08-2010, 01:00 PM

i prefer racing on time but somebody needs to always check the track file is ok on time to make sure the races dont finish early.

Not being sure exactly how many laps a race will be makes it more fun with a little extra strategy to think about

MikeTrus · #61 02-08-2010, 06:00 PM

Iv'e asked Dent for the Brands race file soon as we have that weights will be up!

MikeTrus · #62 02-08-2010, 10:15 PM

OK as you've seen in the other thread Berger has saved this race and its results so this race WILL count.

Tomorrow's race will be run on the usual Quad-core that host's the Sunday league AND the test races for this mod.

Myself and Dent have decided the GTR2 Watchdog will be used rather than GTR2 Manager.

The track itself may be a LITTLE heard on frames but nothing major. I run a medium spec PC and have an average frame rate.

Above is what has come out of the lessons learned from brands.

Hope we can move on and go forward with full strength!

Hi racing boys!!!!!

I prefer a lap system. It´s easier to calculate fuel comsuption and strategy....

With a time system it´s easy to be out of fuel in the lasts laps.....

I hope you a very good race and lots of fun!!!!!!!!
See you tonight!!!!!!!!

MikeTrus · #64 02-09-2010, 02:53 PM

Ok huge thanks to BigG who has started the SLS system. Currently it is stocked with the driver who have a past SLS record and/or race in the current Sunday league.

Once we gather all the Emails of the new member's we can then add them and then SLS should run as smooth as silk for the results.

Results for this event should be done tonight if not tomorrow. (this should include Brands results)

I would have guessed that was the whole point of racing on time. Make the sorry bastards without a calculator work a little

But it's not hard at all.

(X seconds for the entire race - 120 seconds pit time) / best laptime on race setup

1 hour race:

(3600 - 120) / 104 = 33,46 which will be 35 laps.
I usually go for 1 extra lap of fuel, just to be sure.

is't 3rd grade math for god sake.

Again, the whole point of time races is to make it harder to strategize and have the guys who didn't bother to figure it out, run out of fuel. Especially when a little 3rd grade math could have saved them.

Step up to the game and you won't have the problem

Fernando Rees · #67 02-09-2010, 04:00 PM

So... am I carrying 65kg tonight?

MikeTrus · #68 02-09-2010, 04:02 PM

You won at Brands right?

Its the same weight system as the Sunday league so this can be a prep for Road Atlanta

Dr Lokoss · #69 02-09-2010, 04:13 PM

I wish i could be there, but just days after i registered my interest, my PC went down with a bad case of "not starting-itis"
once i can work out whats wrong with it i hope to be joining the league regularly

Good luck all
Doc

NOT, weight or not, wont make a difference!

Reissuleipa · #72 02-09-2010, 06:23 PM

Server is set to 36 laps which is too much. 34 is about right imo. With pitstop it comes to about an hour.

Alex Gibbons · #73 02-09-2010, 06:24 PM

People always seem to forget we have a pitstop.

Do we? Last race only 6 people managed to drive until the pit-stops

Alex Gibbons · #75 02-09-2010, 08:59 PM

Got a great start, arrived at turn 1, spun by Rarri.
Fought back up, Rarri hits me off with a move.
Rarri dives down the inside across the apex and almost takes me out.
Rarri overtakes at the hairpin, I go to the inside and he spins into me.
I catch back up, find Rarri backwards at hairpin.
Battle with Rarri for a few laps, again turn 1 contact.
Rarri comes up the inside on the uphill left, flips me over.
Car does not reset. Race done.
