Let's make every race a straight forward sprint without any driver input required for a good result  . I'm not going to change anything about the format just because some don't like some different approach. It's the same situation for everybody and if you don't want to save fuel, go nuts on double softs or mediums stints. These are the kind of races where surprising results can happen. In short, deal with it  |

I did a test yesterday and it's not that difficult to make the whole race. You need to target 3.5-3.7 L/lap and to get it just simply coast a bit before each braking point and don't use 3rd that often. I'll be around half a second slower per lap.
I imagine- Felix or Fabri taking pole, all pilots are not pressing any gas before lights off. Than all starting from 2 nd gear. Felix is in the lift-off tactic. All other guys don't overtaking him because off proper defends. All racers are finishing in 0.01 sec gap in starting positions  So, anyway i hope in very interesting and extraordinary race tonight. Lets enjoy a nice fight guys!  |

I think i'll have no fuel for the last half lap.
I have not app for fuel cons. (I ve no apps in general). I prefer do more simulation, and i'm not sure if was possible a so precise fuel check in those cars.
I'll push faster possible until I'll finish the fuel.
PS: I don't like modern motorsport (strategies, tyres options, chicanes, part of track/part of no-track, etc).

Jeff I so hope you run out of fuel tonight You cant run out of fuel if: - do a pit stop - lift a bit the gas - be lapped. You only need to choose which of the three options is yours. |

I'm bound to run out of fuel now |

These cars need to turn on the brakes and throttle due to the nature of the differential they use. Toe settings certainly help but I've actually reduced these heavily for this round as the car is faster with the added stability. As for the fuel complaints, We're driving simulated historic endurance racers. Group C were all about driving to numbers! As we're all in the same boat and these random range issues created a fantastic race last time I don't see how an added strategy element is in any way a bad thing. Personally I think races should be a minimum of an hour in cars like these, but am pretty sure I'd be over-ruled |

Has anyone started yet who uses a Rift? They seem to have buggered it up so mine isn't working  Wondering if everyone else is in the same boat? |

Given their normal level of technical expertise that doesn't shock me  Recon HTC should do well from their new headset if their software is any better... |

No race for me tonight. Been hit but the worldwide Oculus Rift failure. Was looking forward to the race too.

Thomas has just told me a work around, it seems to work : Change your windows time to a month ago and restart your rift services (or just restart your pc). That will fool it into working again |
