Love this track!! Bumps and all..

[AngeloDS]

Any grid reversions for this one? Or the Qualy grid is the same for all 3 races?
Would be nice something like...result of race 1 is the grid of race 2, and result of the race 2 is the grid for race 3, with top8 or top6 grid reversion for the longer race.

[Seahawks1Fan]

We will do a top 10 reverse grid for Race 2. Race 3 will grid based on the results of Race 2.

With the newest version of the sim, my game and replays run much smoother, the new core shaders must be one hell of an improvement.

Insane track.
This is very bumpy even for Reiza standards...is like drive on hard unregular concrete...lol

Given that is very short aswell, probably not the best track for grid inversion.

Is enjoyable drive around it...a challenge, lets see how the actual racing goes.

[Kelly G]

Won't be making this race but have fun peeps!

[Scott Beck]

I'll try and make it tomorrow night. So much stuff going on these 2 weeks, I haven't had any time to practice any driving anywhere.

[zedarchitect]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Have fun.

[yaystenny]

Won't be able to race this week. Have fun all.

Bumps crucial to car speed

According to Lowndes, it’s the bumps that make the New Zealand circuit so unique.

“It’s probably the last of the bumpy tracks that we visit,” added Lowndes.

“You need a well-balanced car at a track like Pukekohe, because you can’t go around the bumps, you have to go over them. You really need a car that suits the circuit.

“We had the introduction recently of the new chicane on the back straight that slowed the cars down. It opens up another overtaking opportunity, but it was really quite exciting in the past to go down into that hairpin at full noise.

“Obviously now the approach is slower, but the circuit itself is always a challenge to get right because of the bumps, especially that last section where you go over the blind crest back past the pits.

“Again, you need to be 110 per cent committed with the car to get a lap-time out of it.

“We’ve seen many cars over the years – and I’ve been one of them – going down the grass on the left hand side of the track.

“Strategy always plays a big part there, if you don’t have car speed you need track position, and try to maintain it.”

I will be there. Looking like it is going to be a small grid with all the holiday plans.
