Re: Race 2?
If I may have an input on format: I'd prefer it to be an hour or so earlier with less practice. It was way too late for the 2nd race, and on-the-day practice is usually not very effective anyway.
I'm actually wondering what's the general opinion on the start times?

I'd have to agree on this. A finish after 10pm wouldn't be so bad if it were an Enduro.

Re: Race 2?
The start time actually suited me, on Wednesdays I can only jump around 8:30pm (EST). In saying that I am happy to miss any prac, so if quali was beginning about 8:30 I would be sweet to just jump straight into that and the race.

Re: Race 2?
I was going to ask for it to be 30 mins later start... 9:30 NSW time would make it 9pm my time. Looks like ill never get a race with you blokes if its moved forward from the 1st trial race...ysu wrote:If I may have an input on format: I'd prefer it to be an hour or so earlier with less practice.

Re: Race 2?
I'd be fine if it was a longer race with the same or a little later start time, but by the 2nd race start/halfway I was only half there.

Re: Race 2?
I like the two-race format, but I'm fine with a single longer one, too.
However, for the single-race format it'd really have to start earlier. Finishing after 11 is a tough call. This way one can leave between races, but if it's just one long race it discourages you to enter if you have to leave early.

Re: Race 2?
I like the two race format, practice should be really short between races.. just long enough for a piss ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
But agreed, bit earlier start would be good, 8:30 wouldnt be a bad time

Re: Race 2?

Re: Race 2?
Great discussion guys, keep it going.
I can tell you that Pix, Righty & I are more in favour of a longer single race event for the next one. Norbs not so much in favour. So much like what is reflected here.![Ha ha :lol:](./images/smilies/haha.gif)
It seems to us that having a single race event would be the best way to minimise the time lost with having to reconnect to the server & do another prac &/or qual session before the 2nd race.
Also we should be able to have a break between Qual & the Race to allow for setup changes & a drink/piss-break.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
Stay tuned for updates...

Re: Race 2?
The idea of a longer race is really dependent on the car/track combo, for the longer tracks/slower cars it feels a bit drawn out to me.. I dont think I would want to do 20 laps of Monza in a slower car for example.
Guess it depends, I assume while its still in heavy alpha it will all be one off races not a AAL style series lets mix it up a bit![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: Race 2?
I think a 30-40 minute race would be good if it goes to a single event.
8:30 - Practice (30 minutes)
9:00 - Qual (15 minutes)
9:15 - Race (approx 40 minutes)
That gets everyone off just around 10pm, people can jump in during qual so they get to race.
I think once we can run a 2nd race based on the previous qual or race results then we could split to sprint races.
The other option is alternate between a sprint round double then a single longer race![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: Race 2?
I too would like to see the race time brought forward by at least 30mins although I would prefer it being forward an hour.
I prefer sprints over enduro's as I can limite my mistakes per race instead of per lap, lol.

I think half a hour would be heaps
Is there any way at this point in time to set 2 races up in the booking and let it use the first race standings as the grid for the second race ?
