    I expect a site like Inside Sim Racing to have a HDC much like our own at RoninGT, standard from the pre-qually times alone look pretty high, apart from genuine accidents, I fully expect this to be a very good championship :D

    The standard at TPS is very high. The blurb in the OP was no idle chatter.

    Over 50 have signed up. We would never run 42 car grids though. Maximum 32. Been there, done that, got the grey hairs from the incidents!

    While our forum is hosted by Inside Sim Racing, we are not affiliated, just so that's clear :).

    For our 2014 Carrera Cup the top split of 32 was covered by 0.474 in prequalification. I would expect maybe .5-6 to be the gap this time.

    Sometimes takes a while to validate the Facebook sign-ups it seems for some reason, not my forum unfortunately, but it will get sorted eventually. I also know you've signed up because of your information here, so you are in no need to worry further. Welcome to TPS :)

    What would be great are custom skins, most of the drivers picked Honda and there will be like 6 Micheliszs, 10 JAS cars and 3 Bennanis in the server.

    Does that mean the addition of a third division?

    It does not. We need way more than 58. More like 70. You have to factor in those who don't prequaly, those who don't turn up etc. 58 is a healthy number for two divisions currently.

    What if everyone does the pre-qually and turns up? lol
    From experience running championships at RoninGT.com, I know it's rare, but it does happen lol, do you have a contingency plan in place?

    Those who don't get in the 48 or whatever are set as reserves. You always need reserves as people fall by the wayside and report temporary absence.

    At least that's what has happened the six years we've been doing this. Maybe this game will be different?! :p

    Looks like a lot of people have jumped ship and gone to the Honda, I think it's inherently quicker than anything else around Sonoma, will be testing that theory later. I don't want to jump on the band wagon but, I also don't want to be out of place come race day.
    Maybe we should have done round 1 qualification off-line in our own cars to get the division placings?

    My teambuddy took the Civic for prequali although we drive Citroen in the series and instantly gained about .5 of a second.. :eek:
    I'd also love to see those that use Citroen/Lada/Corvette in the series use it for prequali.. since it is obvious the Civic is quicker..

    It is not 'obvious'. Someone like Hardwick has done very similar laptimes in both cars, as have I. The Honda is simply easier to drive.

    Everyone is allowed to use whatever car they like for this track, then no-one can have any excuse when they don't make it, because then it is based on a driver's ability, not the car they choose.

    We have this discussion every time in a league, people complain they are at a disadvantage or propose changes that have already been discussed at length prior to the season. Often so they can use it as an excuse, race drivers love those! Always look at it from the other point of view, always good to ask yourself why something is being done, instead of why not. Input is always welcome but it's no help if it's one-eyed :)

    Remember we have run leagues for six years, almost 40 of them, and while we don't pretend to be perfect, or above any kind of advice, there is always some sense to the rules :D
