I just joined today and plan to race on the 9th.
I just hope I'm not lagging too bad if I have a high ping.
hopefully not! Our server is located in Europe, and the most of the drivers are European. Obviously the physical distance from the server will create some latency, but I've raced with other drivers in US without problems before. I strongly advise you to join our server for some training sessions and ask them if you are lagging or not
I have a few questions..

What times are good for race pace?
from what I've seen so far the best (alien) lap was 1.28.9XX done by Riccardo Moretto. other good drives on the top of our classification are around 1.29-1.30 at the moment. All the other "human" drivers I think will be between 1.31-1.34.
Just as a reference, you can have a look at the rank of the original track. The version we are using, Crema RSR, is exactly the same track with a new pitlane. Unfortunately times can't be uploaded on the rank until this track will be officially released.



Will we need to pit?
no, but you can if you want. Just a small reminder: during the race we will race with FULL MODE. This means that you can't just press ESC-GO TO BOX to go back to box, but you will have to drive back to it. In full mode, reparation of your damaged car will take some time also. Just few days before the race we will set a server in this mode, so everyone will get used to it.


Is the F1800 an H-pattern car?
Yes. You can use anyway even paddles if you want. It's just up to you.
I personally think that the H-Shifter is a blast with this car.
On the setup you can change even AUTO CLUTH and SIMPLE GEAR. It's just up to you what to use.



And the race time of 21:15, is that GMT or something else?
21:15 CET (Central Europe Time) = GTM+1

Note:

on our webpage you will find a timer to the next event on the top of the page:
Upcoming official race: F1800 Series - Crema Sector1 (2010-09-09 @ 21:15:00) in 4 d 12 h 4 m 55 s


Server time is displayed on the bottom left
Current time

Server: XXXXXXXXX

I just noticed that the GTM is not correct, I should fix it!!

Here some examples:
Thursday, 9 September 2010, 19:00:00 Thu 21:15 (server time, Rome/Amsterdam,Madrid, Paris)* Thu 15:15 (New York) * Thu 12:15 (San Francisco) * Thu 20:15 (London) * Thu 23:15 (Moscow) *
or a nice website for the time zone conversion


Thanks! Looking forward to racing.

Il sito era da tempo che con Riccardo volevamo farlo più funzionale e cosi l'abbiamo fatto. Spero di riuscire a tenerlo aggiornato, altrimenti non serve a niente.
Per la guida, grazie, rispetto a quel giro ho tirato via oltre 1 secondo, affinando qualche traiettoria.
Devo comunque molto al mio compagno e amico Riccardo, che anche oggi è salito in macchina con me e con qualche consiglio mi ha permesso di togliere via mezzo secondo dopo qualche tentativo.
In effetti o uno è autodidatta al 100%, nel senso che riesce a capire dove sbaglia, oppure sale in auto con qualcuno e lo osserva (ma con Netkar si capisce poco purtroppo perché non vedi velocità e accelerazione e frenata) oppure, ed è la migliore cosa, lavori in coppia o +.
Io e Riccardo ci alleniamo quasi sempre insieme, e siamo sempre in TS cosi in real time ci diciamo le prove da fare e ci diamo consiglio, uno prova una soluzione, l'altro un'altra e cosi via e alla fine si arriva a buoni risultati.
