3 Feb 2010: Crema (prequal from 30 Jan)

Crema Sector1 F2000:
Prequal: 30 Jan (00:00)- 2 Feb (24:00)
Qual+Race: 3 Feb

No corner-cutting allowed
Corner-cutting is not allowed. The rule is that drivers must have two wheels touching (in any way) or be exactly vertically above the track at any time during the lap. The track consists of the tarmac between the white lines, the white lines itself, the regular curbs. Curb-extensions (like green or grey extensions to be seen at for example A-1 Ring, Imola, Suzuka, Magny-Cours or Silverstone) do not belong to the track.
In specific case we specify exceptions for the general rules to have a better race experience.

Just as an example I want to quote what Jaap said about one of those exception: Snetteron

Jaap on GPC wrote:
Sometimes going wide can have a lot of advantage, too. Same with the outside of T2 on Snetterton. There's an obvious white line there.

However, I think that if you have to stay inside the white lines in that corner on Snetterton just kills the racing experience.

In the end, simracing it not about learning tricks and staying inside white lines. It's about racing. Racing is not about tricks, but to race a car as hard and fast as possible, right there on the limit.

However, it is important to have clear rules and enforce them in a way which is clear and the same for everyone. This is key issue in order to have a credible and fair racing championship.

That's why we should focus on having clear rules and have an open mind towards adjusting rules for specific situations on specific tracks in case it is needed for the sake of the racing experience.

In any case in which the rule are not adjusted for a specific case, the basic rule applies. That way, everyone is able to know exactly what rule applies when.

If you will cut the corner more than 3 times, you will self assign a Drive Through.

In case you notice that some other driver is not following any of the track rules you can send a PM to the Verification Team.


VALID


NOT VALID


At the chicane before the sector1-sector2 sign, there is no problem since the walls are there.
This has to be considered an exception of the general rule, since the wall will prevent anyway to cut too much.
VALID


We suggest anyway for your own and other contestants's safety not to be too aggressive, especially when cars are close to each other.

Pits are where you will be placed when you connect to the server.
It's on the right of the main straight on the side of the track. No walls or pit entry nor pit speed limit!

The "Drive Through" on this track will be substituted with a full stop in the pitlane. You just have to carefully enter in the pitlane and stop completely your car (even less the a second, but the car needs to be completely stopped).

Just be really careful when you go out of the pits. Check on your mirrors and listen to the sound of the incoming cars.
Once you are on track, go out of the racing line as soon as possible. Cars are at full throttle over there!

The most of you knows already, but just to be sure, Sector1 (where we are running for this race) is straight after the chicane, as shown in the picture!!!
Going on Sector2 is prohibited.

Guys this morning I thought that I could do something to give you intermediate prequalification results:

Here is the current classification of Crema Prequalification. Note classification is not updating automatically.
Those results are taken a 9:30AM of Sunday 31st Jan.

Andrea lo so che il regolamento non si può cambiare ma credo che a crema il pit stop obbligatorio è periciloso perchè non essendoci la pit lane c è rischio di incidenti sia quando ci si ferma che quando si riparte,la traiettoria ci porta troppo vicino alla linea dei box per di più si passa a 250 km orari io penso (ma questa è solo la mia opinione )che per questa gara è meglio abolire il pit obbligatorio cosa ne pensi?

Anche secondo me il pit è pericoloso.
Ieri per due volte ho rischiato il boom con mario perchè io non ho visto lui mentre ripartivo e sicuramente lui non ha visto me quando ripartiva.
E meglio prendere una decisione subito.

valuteremo l'opzione con gli altri e vi faremo sapere. Hai sicuramente ragione a riguardo.

Effettivamente non essendoci la pitlane, si entra e si esce in piena traiettoria; inotre se più piloti arrivano lottando alla staccata e qualcuno sta uscendo dal box, la collisione è praticamente inevitabile. Non aspettiamoci, inoltre, che chi è fermo ai box dia la precedenza a chi sta passando in pista perchè questo non avverrà. Un'altro problema è l'assenza del Pitboard: effettuando i rifornimenti, ci sarà una gran confusione per diversi giri e conoscere la propria posizione sarà impossibile.
Comunque la decisione finale spetta agli organizzatori che dovranno comunque considerare tutte le problematiche fin qui esposte.
Fateci sapere...la notte porta consiglio

Grazie anche a te Luigi per i consigli, stiamo già prendendo decisioni in merito in quanto c'è effettivamente un elevato rischio di incidenti...

Per quanto riguarda la pitboard puoi averla sostituendo 2 stringhe del file ini di crema:

vai nella cartella dove è installato netkar poi tracks\crema\server\nkrefs.ini è sostituisci con questi valori

[PITBOARD]
POS=15.000000, 0.000000, -35.000000

Magicamente avrai la pitboard disponibile!

ATTENTION!
Some of the drivers suggested to shorten the race to avoid pitstop, since Crema doesn't have pitlane. Pits might be quite dangerous here.

For this reason we decided to avoid possible problems and have a race of 22 laps (7 laps less then before). This should be short enough to finish without pitting.
On my counter it says that I can do 24 laps with 40 liters, so 22 should be ok for everyone, I hope.

Grazie Fortunato....l'ho fatto e vado a vedere se funziona 8)

Pre-Qualification times updated (20:30 Tuesday).

Red Zone:


Just as a kind reminder:

Rule 5 (a.k.a. 5 corners rule): It is important to pay attention especially in the first part of the race, where all cars are close to each other. For this reason, we define per each track the “red zone”, where the 5 corners rule applies. 5 corners is just a convention. For each track the red zone might be extended till a safer zone.
The responsibility of all drivers is to avoid incidents in the first corners which can have massive consequences and therefore all participants must be careful.
Starts must be as clean and incident-free as possible. The finish line is not at the first turn. Turn 1 cannot be approached as it happens during the qualification session. The tires are cold, the car is heavy and the track crowded. Drivers must act wisely and drive safely for themselves and for the other participants, for example by:
o braking earlier than normal
o maintaining a safe distance from the other cars during the first corners
o giving enough space to other drivers with some margin for error by other participants

Any collision from behind will result in the driver behind being considered as the guilty driver, unless the car in front has lost control.
In case of accident on the “red zone” the Race Director could penalize the drivers directly.

FINAL RESULTS Pre-Qualification(23:59 Tuesday).

Pfiuuu...15th just in time.
I sent already the replay to the VT, but I thought it was nice to share it with you all as well, since I'm the last one of Group A.

Here it is
