Title: Upcoming Sunday night V8 supercar series (race distance poll)
Post by: SRW on June 26, 2018, 08:36:25 PM +0100
I am finalising the details for the upcoming V8 Supercar series. This pole is for the sprint rounds. The 'Pirtek Season of Endurance' rounds will be slightly longer

As they run 50 min races I'm up for that, should simulate the tire deg nicely then and allow for differing tactics.

The Poll is sitting 50/50 at the moment with 3 votes for each race distance, only one day left to vote so don't forget!

Don't car too much about length, but If you had put any length without any pitstops I would have voted for that.

I am trying to keep it as realistic as possible and the races in real life all feature pitstops

If tire deg is accurate based on the real cars then I don't think pit stops are an option really!
Definitely not if we do designated soft/hard races as per real life.

Thanks for the feedback FMG  :)

my plan was to initially put a compulsory pitstop in place for the first few rounds, we can then tweak the tyre and fuel multipliers to either require fuel or tyres.

Unfortunately I do not have the spare time to do loads of practice and work out tyre deg and fuel burn etc. It has taken me months to sort out tracks and check them on the server. If you or someone can supply me with info on rough average fuel used in a 40 min race I can set the fuel multiplier to ensure we need to top up at least half a tank of fuel.


The poll has now closed. It was 4 votes  for 40 mins and 4 for 50 mins!
