Red Flag procedure
-When the person rejoins the room the current time index & lap # will be taken.
-No passing is to occur and all cars are to proceed to the front straight but behind the start/finish line.
-In current order, cars will pass the start/finish line to see if any cars are 1 lap behind the leader or more.
-Car order and laps down will be noted for the restart.
-The car that dropped will be placed behind the last place car. (Call this mechanical difficulties).
-The time index or lap count taken will be used to calculate the remaining time/laps of the race.
-Laps maybe added to the remain laps to allow for the lead cars to "relap" the lapped cars.
-The race will be restarted, however the first lap(s) will be used to get the cars into proper order and laps down if needed.
-Once any lapped cars have been "relapped" the first place car will lead as a "pace car" for 1 lap. No cars may change positions until after crossing the start/finish when the race condition is again green.


Bluetooth Headsets Strongly Recommended!
I can't stress that enough! Any Bluetooth headset will work, just make sure to pair it with your PS3. Futureshop has a good selection as well.

I'd like to see them all allowed to run, give some flare to the series. I don't run any Lambo often, so I've got no idea which one to pick!!

Big change to Bullrun, see above.

What prompted the big change? Going to go with cars with some downforce for the next series, or are you going to F1 2012 next year?

Fun cars on a fun track. Looking forward to the race day.

Has anyone done any testing?
Laptimes?
# of laps on Racing Softs?
Any big differences between the cars?

I had the super veloce out for a couple laps after you left. All default tuning and in the 45's on an avg lap. Car drives ok, has sh!t brakes though, I think it was almost the 200m board into the first chicane. Either that or the 100m F1 brake zone has me spoiled haha.

The cars have a very different feel to them. Super veloce is fun...

Race is tomorrow, not much talk with xmas this week. How many cars are we looking to have for this race? I think myself and Phil Tuff will be teaming up as long as the weather cooperates. If it doesn't i'll give it a go solo.

I have family plans, but if they are cancelled due to the weather I might be able to make it. That being said I haven't tested anything. I have the cars and driven them, just need to see what one works for me the best.

Well,

This is funny...... my internet speed test performs at 52ms, 1.31 Mbps DL, and .3 UL to a server in Vancouver.

I am curious to try it in Merlins Lounge.

Say when.......text me jason when you may be able to test.

I may be in a position to see no evil, hear no evil, and play no evil/fun

I might be there tonight, with a black lambo with black rims, not sure witch one though.
Did anyone tried them out yet? What are they like?Any preferences?

I'll be on tonight. Orange with Black rims. Although i am slightly hopped up on allergy meds, so we'll see how well this works out haha. Also mic is slightly on the fritz so i may not have comms all night. Looking forward to it!

Sorry for quitting in the middle of the race guys. It's just that i have no setup for gt5 so i have to sit with crossed legs in my bed while playing GT5 and it pretty much cuts the blood circulation in my legs after a while. I dont believe i couldve last the whole 3 hours, but fill me in with the results

That was a lot of fun. It seemed like the time flew by as well.

How much is the NSX LM prototype worth from the OCD?

I wish I could have done that one.

Is there a series coming up?

Yea it was a good race. For the longest time Steve was keeping me honest, only about 3-6 seconds behind me and/or trading places with pitstops.

I'll be doing up the sup regs for the SuperGT series in a day or two.

That was a good race. I Grosjean'ed myself in lap 1 or 2 which put me behind too far to stay on lead lap. Managed a 1:43.37X on softs which i was happy with. It was a fun race. Looking forward to the next series.

Sorry to miss out last night's race, sounds like it was a lot of fun.

Was a good race. Cars are pretty decent for being Lambos. I was having a good run for 3/4 of the race. I started working my tires and fuel load towards my last pit stop at around lap 25 and was on pace with what I wanted when I took damage at the first Lesmos. I turned in a bit too much and clipped the inside guardrail with the RF. That was in the middle of a tire stint and screwed up everything for me. After that I changed strategy and filled the tank and put Hards on and tried to do the last 25 laps with out stopping. I was hoping the pace wouldn't be so bad but I was 5 seconds a lap slower and even with you guys doing an extra stop or two it didn't matter.
