The V8 Supercars face off tonight at the historic Rouen Les Essarts. This will a single race consisting of 32 laps with 1 mandatory, 4 tire change pit stop.
Please be on the race server (Gone Broke Racing) and on TS by 7 pm PST (approx 2 hours from now). Qualifying will begin at 7:15 sharp.
I expect the race to last about an hour. We will begin at 3 pm virtual time and I have set the race time to x5. If my calculations are correct (I'm no math major though), it should end around 8:30 pm virtual time. This means the last 1/3 or so of the race will be dusk to dark. Please be sure you map your headlights as you will be disqualified by the game if you don't turn them on when it starts to get dark.
A couple things to note. The pits are on the long front straight and it is very narrow through this section. Cars will be coming down this straight and start to make the turn 1 kink right after pit road exit. Please announce on TS when you are exiting pits and stay as far to the right as possible (your right tires should be on the very edge of the road) as you go around turn one. Cars coming down this straight will have little time to react if you don't make sure it's clear and will surely cause both of you to wreck. We don't want that now do we?
The second item to mention is Turn 4, which is the exit corner of the chicane. The tire wall is there for a reason. When exiting this corner, your right side tires should be on the asphault. If you cut through this section, you must lift off the throttle briefly to give back any time gained.
Look forward to seeing you out on track tonight. Good luck!
