Re: Regulation Clarification

question. why is qualy starting at 18:00 on sunday? is it to leave time so we can watch the World Cup Final? cuz 18:00 is 1pm EST, which means i may have to duck out of racing i do within my 'DMR' team (we have a race at Noon, and it sometimes goes over an hour long)

any answer would be nice. i dont want to possibly miss the 1st of 2 qualifying session i am able to make. there would be no chance for me to show up for a qualy session during the work-week

Yes.

[Rollin InAn STi]

fair enough. thanks AJ.

[Guest]

We will now be running a 4th evening on Saturday from 2000 BST for those who cannot make the sessions in the week.

Those who currently have times in Red on Live Timing may also attend.

Anyone who is not on the Live Timing but would like to take part contact me ASAP.

[lfcnicklfc]

What do the times in red mean??

[Crisis Nine]

I was going to ask that too!

[Guest]

They did not complete the session.

The time given is their 1st session time plus 5 seconds.

[Crisis Nine]

Ahhh, thank you for clearing that so quickly.

[nickyf1]

5 seconds... Ouch!

[AudiSport Louis]

They did not complete the session.

The time given is their 1st session time plus 5 seconds.

so why are we deciding to share this now after the the 1st qualy session is done, instead of before the event actually kicked off.... better yet why arent there any rules posted for the event because i would think that's where this rule would be shown.... and as for all tora events if that is a change in the origional rules which im assuming it is because we only heard about it after the first day of qualy is done. that means it doesn't take effect because you said so yourself in OTHER rules that if a change happens it takes 1 week to take effect... this is with-in the week so that should mean it wont take effect this year.... why are we not being prefessional for the biggest event of the year? and why are we trickling in rules as the week goes on... doing this makes the event sound fixed if you ask me.

[XTI Nightrider]

Again with the abrupt rule changes. Please get all this sorted guys

[Guest]

There has been no rule change.

Those 3 guys set no time in session 2.

This is how we decided to record their 2nd time.

We have offered them the chance to complete their qualifying on another day.

[SepticAkura]

1st lap, just through Tetre Rouuge lagged out How do i stand for quallifying in session 2 as its an average time?

[Guest]

You can either attend another session on Thursday or Saturday.

Or have 5 seconds added to your session 2 time to create your session 1 time.

[SepticAkura]

If you do 2 days do you take the average for that day or the average over the 4 sessions? I'll prob stick around for the 2nd session still

[Guest]

yeah still do session 2, and then you would only do one session on another day.

[WWR Chillz]

5 seconds is better than not getting a time at all. It at least gives you a chance not to start from the back of the grid. I think it is very fair. If you want to, just attend another session to get a second time.

[Rollin InAn STi]

just a question, and im sure it'll be knocked down, but for my DBR9, may i run a #007/8/9 for this event? seems fitting, but if i cannot, im ok with it

[GLR Gashi]

I think Louis thought that if you didn't complete the entire second session, you had a 5 second penalty added. He didn't understand that if you didn't complete a lap you were given your first sessions time plus 5. Bit of a misunderstanding there.

[AudiSport Louis]

yes misunderstanding and frustration and i acted before thinking so i do appologize gents very rare that i do such a thing
