Last night we have had our first practice session of this season
We started with a fair number of racers, but not everybody stayed until the 4 races were complete ... I hope we have more racers this Sunday on the first official race of this season. Also remember you get 2 points if you drive at least 80% (32 laps) of the race.
I know this combo results in a lot of Safetycar procedures.. Even then the race is not over. As I've proved in the 3rd race were I've had a SC in the first lap, but still could manage the 3rd position on finish.
If there are any questions/suggestions please let us know !
Cya on track !!

I think the training races didn't go too bad, considering it was the first race with a lot of new people and older people totally unprepared (that would be me) and a very unforgiving car, some very fast guys and some guys a lot slower and not always as clean as expected in their driving... Please in the future, avoid pushing the car in front of you (that would be me again) in the wall, sometimes a slight lift off the throttle is enough to avoid damage and frustration, there's plenty of room to make a clean pass on this track. We should find a way to avoid safety cars in the last 3 laps to avoid a finish under safety car, but my reflex is to press on the shortcuts as soon as some one request the safety car before I look at the remaining laps, considering that I might not be in the same lap as the leader.... looking forward to the season"s kick off.

i had my fun. still don't know if it would be a racing incident or a penalty for me on my hit wih hanzi. Oh, btw, did yeman go faster than 90 when we where waiting for the pit to open and what would be the panlty for that. And, can we enter a soon as you say stuck car may reset or do we have to wait till you give the command to open the pit (sometmes you forget these things )

i had my fun. still don't know if it would be a racing incident or a penalty for me on my hit wih hanzi. No, You left enough space for me. As I watched the replay I had more then enough room.. Oh, btw, did yeman go faster than 90 when we where waiting for the pit to open and what would be the panlty for that. Have not searched that moment, I could if you gave me the race.. But indeed no rule for that, But if someone goes over the line to much we repeat the speed, as we also did during last races. And, can we enter a soon as you say stuck car may reset or do we have to wait till you give the command to open the pit (sometmes you forget these things ) Yes, as soon the command is given to reset, you can enter the pits.. Just realize that in most of the times I have to handle the mouse while driving, keep my distance watch my mirrors.. so not always easily done.. And as the penalty for entering the pits before reset is given manually there is no risk the game will give it automatically.

Last night we have had the first race of the new season.. I went pretty well I must say.. We did had the predicted large number of Safety Cars on track.. But we also had a lot of issues during those procedures.. And that only means one thing.. You don't know the safety car procedure enough !! Most errors were made in overtaking.. And it is pretty easy to know : You can never overtake during the safety procedure.. UNLESS the car in front of you crashed and is standing still or has his four wheels behind the white lines defining the track. KNOW the rules and don't start asking us about it. We also are driving at that moment.. I had several incident while I was trying to answer you guys Luckily next track will have a lot less Safety cars. Also remember the chat channel is closed during the race .. And penalty's will be given in next races for chatting during the race. During Safety Car we can allow it but don't expect that the admins will answer. I've also placed an extra article about it on the website www.liveforspeed.be/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=235:safety-car-overtaking&catid=65:season-10
