RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - Fergy - 29-10-2018 Just finishing here will be a supreme effort. Just reiterating those rules. You can touch the yellow black line at T1, do your best. Give someone exiting the pits a good chance of joining back safely. You don't want to go over the line anyway as it's way too bumpy. A wheel can be replaced in the pits, it takes a while. We've decided that it's race over at that point and you should exit the race asap. Its just way to tight here to be crawling around. We've added clear skies and move the time back a little. Vision seems good. Yes the track is not the greatest quality but after much testing its raceable albeit tough. Some tips, Damage to suspension or steering is taking from 30 seconds to 60 to correct. Fuel burn is around 1.7 liters per lap. Tire wear is around 1% FL per lap and just under FR. Lockups will cause you headaches. The turtle will beat the Hare here ![]() Practice, practice. Good luck to those who give it a shot. Points to be had aplenty.

RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - Bruce - 31-10-2018 My times are up and down all the time but I have had no collection problems when I did a quick test last night. RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - Dan Bayford - 31-10-2018 This is like a lag issue not unlike years ago when you could go across the finish line in first and then in a flash you finished 3rd where it sort of caught up at the end making up for lag But earlier today I did some laps and it seemed ok Fingers crossed it’s not a issue for all. Maybe my old pc struggling

RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - Edvvc - 04-11-2018 Please allow my pedantry a moment to comment on the race announcement - it is meant as constructive feedback, not a criticism. Regarding the start times of each session, the use of BST and GMT doesn't make sense. I feel that he BST time in the race announcement should only be there when the UK is in British Summer Time. BST is always one hour ahead of GMT and UK clocks respect either one or the other. Currently they respect GMT. The current race announcement shows both GMT and BST, and the BST time is incorrect. RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - 1959nikos - 04-11-2018 First lap big freeze, crashed on tyres, lost a wheel, big dissapointment, sorry teamie.

Ed, I still add BST despite being the same as GMT just to keep the same format all year. I think BST is right at the announcement, isn't it.

BST is not affected by daylight saving rules - it is the effect of applying daylight saving. If you wanted to put the BST time up for the races it would still be GMT +1 but that would not be helpful since BST is currently not being observed. CET can be GMT+1 or GMT+2 depending on DST. GMT is always GMT. BST is always GMT+1. It's unfortunate that the UK insists on being different.

RE: Sim Racers 4 Life - 1976 F1 Season - Round 3 West USA (Long Beach) - Bruce - 05-11-2018 I think to simplify matters we should all move to Iceland where I believe they use GMT all year round.

Also because of the hot springs swimming is an all year round activity in Iceland. Must say though Greece is very appealing. Just so sad we are leaving Europe. |
