POSTPONED - Triple Crown - Monaco GP (3 Viewers)

[Jamesl91]

If anyone is about tonight I have a set up I’m working on and I’m happy to share.

(I think this is exhibit A on why we need locked or limited set ups for Evolution cup BTW)

@Battenberg might be of some use

Anybody have any tips about fuel loads and tyre strategy? (Don't worry, i won't win )

Id say, focus alot on qualifying and a stable race setup, then run with enough fuel to finish the race and on tires that will safely do plenty of laps. track position is key. even if your slower early on in the race, other cars will struggle to overtake which means they will likely try the undercut or overcut during the pitstops. if you can manage the gap and make your pitstop at the right time, you will have a slightly shorter stop(thanks to a full tank at the start) which will probably give you the track position once the pitstops have been completed.

Also a reminder to all, this is a super tough race. Lets all be sensible and not take un-necessary risks. there are ways to overtake someone with out actually getting past on track. Patience and safe driving is key!

@Ricardo Macieira half of the pitlane shows wrong way sign which can get you penalties and effectively ruin your race, you might want to look into this

I thought it would be no harm but I got a penalty once already, so better safe than sorry

sadly i have to withdraw from this event, but with an exam coming up this week i just don't have the time to prepare properly for this and i don't to be a danger for those who have put a lot of time and effort into preparing for this race
wish you all a good race and hopefully there will be something like this again in the future

Unfortunately I have to join the bandwagon of quitters. Combination of work and personnal commitments, joined with the summer heat (wearing a rift in these temperatures is not very motivating ...) means I have hardly done any practice. In this state i'm an obstacle on the track and last thing i want to do is to cause an accident with a leader when i'm getting lapped.

With so many withdraws I would like to postpone this event to another date. We are down to 14/15 drivers... Would that be okay for everyone?

think maybe the heat is part of the problem, its so dam hot.

 

[Morvic]

I don't mind postponing it (well of course I do mind because I'm eager to race, but you get what I mean), but do you think moving it to another date will get more people in?

for me i decided that F1 cars at monaco was probably not the best "first AC race" I could come up with

Well we cant be sure if we're gonna get more people in but at same time racing with only 16 people its not the best(you know what i mean)

Yeah its the craziest combo to start with

Do what you think is best, I'm just here to race

 

[Morvic]

Sorry for double post, but when is the race then?

 

[Ricardo]

Sorry for double post, but when is the race then?

Honestly i have no idea atm, since this was part of a bigger plan with 3 events(monaco, indianapolis, le mans) we have ACC mini-league starting next sunday and also soon we're gonna have news on season 3 so yeah atm i cant say anything.
We'll keep you guys updated on this

Fine by me as have got all doors / windows open in a desperate attempt to cool down the house before it starts

1 of the contributing factors in this race being postponed.

 

[T.rev.1]

Ok! Sorry but understandable. I know it's the triple, maybe we could modify, what about going for a more open/racey track (Silverstone?? or ?) to bring in more entrants.

 

[Puffpirat]

That defeats the idea of the triple crown.

What about 60's cars on 60's monaco?
