Guys, we have a common goal. No matter what, kill Michele every race!

Just kidding obviously. This test is very important for us also. We want to have clean races in our championships.

There are few basic rules to follow in our championship, but this is the most important:
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.



I really hope anyone will do his up most to have a fair play

ITALIAN

Ragazzi, abbiamo un obbiettivo comune. In qualsiasi caso uccidere Michele ad ogni gara

Scherzo ovviamente. Questo test e' molto importante anche per noi. Vogliamo delle gare pulite nel nostro campionato.

Ci sono poche regole di base da seguire nel nostro campionato, ma questa e' la piu' importante:

Regola 5 (anche conosciuta come Regola delle prime 5 curve): E 'importante prestare attenzione soprattutto nella prima parte della gara, in cui tutte le auto sono vicine le une dalle altre. Per questa ragione, Definiremo per ogni tracciato la "zona rossa", la zona in cui vale la Regola delle prime 5 curve. Le 5 curve sono solo una convenzione. Per ogni pista la “zona rossa” potrebbe essere estesa fino ad un punto più sicuro.
E' responsabilità di tutti i piloti di evitare incidenti nelle prime curve poiche' possono avere conseguenze enormi. Per questo motivo tutti i partecipanti devono prestare la massima attenzione.
La partenza deve essere, possibilmente, pulita e priva di incidenti. Il traguardo non è alla prima curva. Non può essere affrontata come accade durante la sessione di qualifica. I pneumatici sono freddi, l'auto è pesante e la pista affollata. Il pilota deve agire con saggezza con una guida sicura per sé e per gli altri partecipanti, ad esempio:

- Frenando in anticipo rispetto al normale.
- Mantenere una distanza di sicurezza dalle altre vetture durante le prime curve.
- Dando spazio a sufficienza per altri piloti con un certo margine di errore da parte degli altri partecipanti.

Il pilota che tampona da dietro sara' considerato considerata colpevole, a meno che la macchina davanti perda il controllo.
In caso di incidente sulla "zona rossa", il direttore di gara potrebbe penalizzare il pilota direttamente.



Spero che tutti facciano del loro meglio per comportarsi in maniera corretta in pista.

OK ho deciso, corro con la 500 Abarth, poi si vede !

---

It's decided, i will race with the 500 Abarth !

I set up a server with the following setting:
Radiators-LONG
Interlagos Ks2

Qualification: 40 min
Warmup:3 minutes
Race: 15 laps

This will allow to have some time to develop a good setup, and to experience some longer race.

Please let me know if you prefer something different.

Thanks a lot to Paul for the suggestion.

Andrea, its very dificult to pass due to the thing that if u even touch somebody its like u crash him.I think that even if u are close to someone its like touching him and maybe wheels broke or something.I know that u have here many races.Any tip? How u manage with this? I try to race fair but sometimes i make mistakes too or i get the wrong decisions.
Also an other thing i wanted to ask,can we press escape and press "go to pits" and fix our car? or we have to make the lap and go to pits? Is this allowed?(in training and official races)

All our official races will be in FULL MODE. This mean that you will have (semi) realistic time for reparation and setup changes.
If you will press go to pits, it's like if you are asking for support from the marshals to bring your car back to box ...so you will loose time (10 min.. i think).
During this time you will stuck to the box without the possibility to do anything.

You need to think about your strategy, just if it was a real car. Go out from pit, do your laps, and drive back to pit.
You need to take care of your car, because if you will damage it you will have to wait till it's repaired.

Prepare your setup before the event, because changing a gear ratio, for example will take 40-50 minutes...so...


During our training day, I think we will do some races without full mode, just to get used to be in the group, and some with FULL MODE, so you will not experiment it in the first official event.


About the difficulty to pass, well...it's just like in F1. You need to be aware of your position, and always be careful of what your opponent is doing.
Wait for the right moment, and be always careful, trying to prevent problems.
At the end, this car will be difficult for everyone and everyone can do mistakes, especially under pressure.
My advice: avoid dangerous maneuver, be calm, and wait always for the right moment to overtake. It's easy to get the slip stream of your opponent and be much faster then him. Try to go faster then him out of a corner, and you will have a very good advantage, having a clean and safe overtake.

Race more long.... 20 - 25 laps

thanks very much

I just shot for the first time at Interlagos today and I was pleased to note that the KS2 could turn in times of dry qualyfs the F1! lol

I'm sorry but there was an unexpected for me so i cannot partecipate in the test race.

Good luck !

We are testing a new server mode, coded by Kunos on our request: Inverted grid for the first 6 drivers of race1. The new grid will be 6 5 4 3 2 1 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15.
We have two servers online with new configurations:
-Radiators-Inv6grid:
------Qualification (15min)
------Race1 (7 laps)
------Race2 (9 laps) with inverted grid for the first 6 drivers. There will be a warmup session before the start of the race (count down), so you can go around the track warming up your new tyres. At 30 sec from the start you will be put on the grid automatically.

-Radiators-Inv6gridF
same of the previous server, but in FULL MODE.

Unfortunatly i won't be able to make it for this one...Of course i'll be there for the season opener in Melbourne!

Maarten

Ciao a tutti ragazzi, mi sarebbe piaciuto partecipare all'evento di interlagos questa sera, ma purtoppo non riesco ad iscrivermi...

qual'e' il problema? dove sei arrivato?

Filippo, visto che avevi gia' un utente, ti ho iscritto al team Radiators-champ in ks2. Basta che ti allochi per la gara e sei a posto.
Se vuoi creare un team tutto tuo fai pure.

Devo iscrivermi alla KS2 League giusto? Ho selezionato il team playerzone, cui appartengo, ma non carica. Senza team non posso partecipare?

io a dire il vero ti vedo nella lista

Oh grazie millle Andrea! Stasera corro con voi! Allora alloco e vado ad allenarmi! A dopo

Ho dei problemi col sito, mi sta una vita a caricare e non finisce più...forse allora cel'ho fatta ad iscrivermi come playerzone?
