This race will be a rolling start following a formation lap and the procedure is as follows:

*It will be the pole sitter's responsibility to complete the first lap at a pace that allows the rest of the grid to follow comfortably
*There should be no overtaking or hard accelerating/braking
*Drivers should avoid getting too far behind or too close to the driver in front
*Approximately 20 seconds before crossing the start line the pole sitter should slow down to a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*Each following driver shall close up directly behind the driver in front also maintaining a speed of no more than 50mph (80km/h)
*The pole sitter should maintain that speed until they cross the start line and then accelerate away to start the race (lap2)
*Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver directly ahead does (they do not have to wait until crossing the start line)
*No overtaking is allowed before crossing the start line at the completion of the formation lap

Agree, I struggle to find the turn in and braking points for that corner.
Like these cars though.

What??? Why was i practise the Hockenheim short???

That was a strange one  Before I went to grid crew chief told me that John had pitted but then when I went to grid he was on my left. However by the time the lights appeared he was not there and I never saw him all race. It seemed like you were in the pits because the HUD kept showing you going up and down the order every lap. Very strange.

John never appeared on my grid at all. Did thought it was strange the server thought he was still racing as his name drifted around the live standings. It was only after finishing and watching the 'slowdown lap' and saw the massage saying he had cut the track did I realise he was driving!

So I had done about 15mins practise before hand knowing how much I hate the short track so it was some surprise to get on the server and realise as I brake for turn 2, onto the short track, that the barriers are up. So I check the track config in game, 'national' bit annoyed so check the website....  Must have forgotten about the national config being available. and clearly no one picked up my comments in the earlier post!

After practise it looked like I was going to be in no mans land behind GT, Eck etc and ahead of Matt, Apex, SWR but in qually was surprised to be third, which ended up second at the start. Was saying to Eck I don't think I was going to last too long aft our last race in these but surprised to harass GT as long as I did. Both of us making a few mistakes here and there with the gap staying around a second or so. Picked up a cut track which was rather severe and then SRW decided to get a bit too aggressive racing me, forcing me off when lapping him. Else I was hoping to try and close the gap more. Tyres had definitely gone off at the end with most going yellow and had been playing with the brake bias to help.

With so few places to overtake round here it was fun chasing GT but knew it was going to be tough actually overtaking!



 

sorry Spanner, i vaguely remember someone trying to lap me on the outside, but i didn't realise they were there until it was too late.
