We apologize for the delay! First pre-season event is just to have an idea about the car. Second pre-season event will be already with the restricted setup + sol testing for everyone

I have to work late, but there may be a slim chance I can make it for race 2.

 

[Jomba]

Manual rolling start, is that correct?

 

[m4nu]

Manual rolling start, is that correct?

Yes why?

 

[Jomba]

Just double checking, because we had standing start last season and thought maybe you made copy/paste error.

League Information also stating Rolling Start

 

[Jomba]

Yep, just checked. Still, good to clarify it's "our" manual rolling start, not an in-game rolling start.

Pretty weird track, btw, already did a couple of laps the other day. It's one giant right hander.

edit: last time I played thruxton was over 20 years ago in original TOCA. I'm old.

No harm done, just wanted to clarify its also in the league information

Our british people wished that track

Link won't work

 

[m4nu]

Link won't work

It does. You just need to ignore the SSL error you are getting. We are currently working on that, but we have no idea so far why our SSL certificate is not working correctly. Worst case try a different browser, with the Internet Explorer you are 100% able to skip the error.

 

[Puffpirat]

Can confirm, works in Edge too

 

[hinesy32]

Can I ask what you do with the 'extension' file that comes with the track pack download?

 

[Echo]

When are we allowed to go on the start? Red lights? Pole mans go when he wants? Someone shouts go?

 

[Puffpirat]

Also, is the formation lap part of the 30mins? Or does AC have an additional formation lap system?

4.2 Rolling Start
Our rolling start system utilises a completely manual procedure, featuring a parade lap:

• 4.2.1 - When the lights go green, the lead car moves off, and the rest of the field follows in single file formation.
• 4.2.2 - At a pre-determined point on the track (usually in the final sector) the race directors will instruct all drivers to make note of their position and to form up in double file formation. The speed of the formation will be also instructed by the race directors.
• 4.2.3 - The side of the track that pole position will form up on will depend on the track. The rest of the field has to form up accordingly. This will always be worked so that the pole sitter has the racing line into the first turn.
• 4.2.4 - Once the leader crosses the start/finish line (or other pre-agreed landmark at a limited number of tracks) he must announce "Green Green Green" clearly over TeamSpeak.
• 4.2.5 - When "Green Green Green" is called by the leader all drivers may accelerate and also are allowed to overtake as the race officially begins.

4.3 Additional Notes to Rolling Start

• 4.3.1 - The pace of the lead car will be dictated by the race directors before the start of the race. All the other cars must follow and maintain a sensible gap between each other.
• 4.3.2 - During the formation lap you are allowed to steer left/right to warm up your tires and perform brake checks or overall warm up your brakes.
• 4.3.3 - If a car stalls on the grid in the beginning of the parade lap the car behind must give them a chance to get started. Leaving the grid is a slow process and a small delay is easily caught up in the first few corners.
• 4.3.4 - If you spin during the warm-up procedure you must wait off the track until the whole field has come through and rejoin at the back. You must not re-take your position in the pack.
• 4.3.5 - It is important that you take note of your position when instructed to and not assume that it hasn’t changed from the start of the race. If a car has spun, disconnected or had to retire the positions will change and the 2x2 formation must be based on the correct and up-to-date positions.

Do you mind if I ask where this is? I go to league info but its not in there, and I saw that start procedure was in this thread so didn't know if there was another one with the info, its quite hard to find.
