- Don’t Leave the pit to line up before the qualifying has officially (“time left” is running) started, or your run won’t be counted.
- The cars will line up to the start line and Server will message the start signals by using in game chat messages. There will be notice of 30 and 10 seconds before each start and also of course message indicating start.
- After you have done your run, return to your pitbox and wait for others do theirs.  
- When every driver has gone the stage thru, Nappe1 will tell when and in which order to line up for the next run.
- Also players must stay in server after third run until new event has been started. This will ensure that all runs  will be recorded to server logs.
- Sum of two best runs per driver will count as results and the fastest driver wins the event. non-finished run will record a time of 10 minutes.

Sorry guys, just did not know the course very well. I had a few practice runs planned for this afternoon but it never happened & after crashing on the first run & running off course in the second I decided it was not worth waiting around for the third run.

Congrats to the winners.  :clap: :clap:

Track is actually quite nice and gives a lot of challenge for setup these Division ½ cars. first half is really fast where you need a high top speed, but then again the latter part is slower and incline is bigger, which calls again acceleration and more torque...

Due my mistake in the end of the session, replay got lost so no replay for this one.

I was a bit worried ByAGM and Clive having disconnects and their rejoins middle of the session, but this time server logs had all the lap data and it only needed just small fine tuning before converting qualifying log to race log. Unfortunately, if you don't get a single lap done and leave / get disconnected before the qualifying ends, logs do not have any markings from your visit to the server so Geoffers times (2 x 10 minutes) are missing.

Much like Geoffers, I had only done a couple of un successful runs in the afternoon, none of which reached the finish  ::) so during the wait for my run I was watching the on board runs of those in front trying to memorise the route.........not all that well! But I did complete the first run.  ;)

Apologies for the confusion that my rejoin(s) might have caused.

No idea why I was dropped from the server whilst I was waiting in line for the 2nd run. Maybe I should have guessed that something was wrong when after returning to my place in the queue, Robby repeatedly nudged me from behind ??!!  I thought that he was just keen to get going lol!!

It was only when I thought that it was my time to start, and Robby muscled his way to the start line in front of me, that I suspected something was wrong. I started my run behind Robby still somewhat puzzled...then it dawned on me that I was invisible lol.
I hope that Robby was not impeded by my ghost car.

Sorry for no show last night, I was babysitting my two grandsons

Agreed nappe, getting the gearing right on these sewing machines was a compromise for sure, I went with too short for the bottom section to give me better drive on the steep parts. Thought this was a really good combo to be fair.

Best time offline was 4.59, so seeing how well Matt and Nappe were going did give me the hurry up when I got online. Learned just a little bit more on every run, didn't change the setup at all on the 3 runs so the better time just came from pushing a little harder on the corners that a difference could be made on.

Grats to all that saw the flag, kudos to Dimitar for his time in the Suzuki, best run of the night I would say.

Results and now posted.
