[CONDENSED] Blancpain Endurance Series

I'll be missing Catalunya due to my vacation to France. Hopefully my Porsche will behave better on the following tracks than on Silverstone, which seemed to be covered in ice this weekend I'd be fine doing all upcoming races on Tsukuba too. It's a shame Vampira disconnected, as he was really strong this weekend, driving better than myself. Better luck in the following races mate!

As for the rolling starts, it's not easy for people without much race experience I can understand that. What you can do best is leave a bit of room at first, but not much more than 5 car lengths (no big gaps), so noone crashes as tires are warmed and such. In the last part of the warm up lap, people should stop warming tires and line up 2 by 2 as on the grid, leaving only a safety margin to avoid crashes, and no sudden movements anymore. IRL, starts are when the green light goes on, and team managers start shouting GOGOGO so everyone knows we started. Maybe someone (race leader when he hits the gas) should do so too so everyone knows.

To make it clear how it works, please watch the first 5 minutes of this video. It's the start of the WEC race at Spa this year, and it shows all the action of a warm up lap very good. The race director's voice is also transmitted, so everyone can hear his directions to the drivers and that makes it extra interesting I think.

Looks like the work of the same aliens who abducted SimF40 back in ALMS...

I will be updating the point standings after Catalunya. So pay attention to the next post I make for Point Standings

i finished bobbo....

Race 2

As for rolling starts my experience is that you should make a gap to car in front and floor it when you see the green light. Not when the car in front floors it. Ofcourse this won't work for forza so I suggest you only floor it once you pass the start line to avoid everyone getting bunched up

Could say at 2mins its greenlight regardless of where u are ontrack

Where's live on your list bobbo?

Update: Due to me re-looking into the situation, I have decided to remove the series ban of IFamilyGuy11, and have instead listed the following.

1. Removal of all points earned from 2 previous races(if any)
2. Automatic DQ from next race he enters(if any).

If you have any questions, please contact me.

great racing with snippy and then later on against badboy, some close but fair racing for sure alot of fun

That was hard, Ret kept me very honest up until we pitted (no further than 500ft apart) well done mate, certainly forced a few mistakes from me, also well done to everyone that finished, i think that was our longest bp race yet.
