Endurance Race - Enna

This is a fund race to experiment with Lee’s refuel patch – something we have not done before at UKGPL.
You will need to download the patch from SRMZ - http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=10007&hl=%2Brefuel+%2Bpatch – save to your computer as instructed & activate with the tick box in Gem. Pretty easy. The accompanying text file explains how to go about a refuelling stop.

Race rules as follows. Free choice of chassis for everyone BUT Works standard drivers are requested to take a minimum of two refuel stops. Privateers drivers must make a minimum of one refuel stop. You can take more if you wish.
The race will be run on Intermediate Damage model. Unlimited Shift R is permitted, followed by a compulsory stop & go in the pit lane.

Enna is a short fast track. With different refuel strategies there should be lots of racing. Please take care when exiting the pits & be courteous when overtaking.

This is an endurance race of approximately 90 minutes – qualifying has been reduced to 15 minutes.

Feedback would be welcome.

Race List = iGOR
Server = UKGPL_8

"Experiment refuel patch ...
Unlimited Shift R is permitted, followed by a compulsory stop & go in the pit lane.
With different refuel strategies... "


So we have 2 options :

-Shift-R followed by a stop and go in the pits = refueling + new tyres

- refueling in the pits with Lee's patch (without new tyres)


The second option take more time than the first + you keep your old tyres ... so I don't see any advantages with it.

Fran - the race post says "Variant - 1967 cars".

David - yes drivers could Take a Shift R instead of using the refuel option. The Shift R is to deal with accidents & broken engines + to keep a full grid until the end of the race. Its only a fun race to see how the refuel patch works - I would hope that we all respect the rules.

Thanks guys for giving this patch a chance! These "new" patches (refuel, weather, dirt/gear) are somewhat abandoned in my opinion.

Usual 67 race = 30m min qualifying + 50 min race
Endurance race = 15 min qualifying + 90 min race.
Will finish 25 min later than normal.

This sounds Great/Fun  thumbup1

Refuel patch tested on oAo & it Works fantastic.


The second option take more time than the first + you keep your old tyres ... so I don't see any advantages with it.  

New tyres is Cold tyres...you keep your temp & avoid getting out of the pit/track with full fuel when the car is more unstable on cold tires.
You can also run the risk, if there are cars close...you have to spend time on the track is free to use S-R

I know , I know and I'm not really complaining because this sounds like a great idea. I already struggle with the regular races on Sunday because of an early start for work on Mondays so the later finish just adds to my woes. GPL what are you doing to me Undecided

I really enjoyed that longer race..plus I decided to take the mighty Waza and try and keep all the whizzy bits in their right place  Roll Eyes

So to finish 2nd was a real bonus, but so many cars dropped out that it was a little lonely at the end . I chased down Andreas in his Ferrari , but he appeared to be struggling with loss of power so it was quite easy to catch and pass him.
Doni was flying in his BRM mid race and we had a few fast laps together before he vanished.

Greg was just too fast in a Lotus and my Honda was so heavy at the start of the race that I had to go easy on the tyres. A tangle with Marco required a SnG and before the race had really started the fast boys lapped me twice!!!

For me the pitstops added to the drama. It's OK being 30 seconds ahead of someone, but when you know that you have a stop to make and you are maybe not sure if the guy who is 30 seconds back has made his......it adds a little suspense  Wink

Thanks Billy for organising...it would be interesting to hear why so many cars retired early.
