2015 S4 GT1 Championship

New build feels fairly solid even though my driving was not. I plan on trying to make a push to get a bit more consistent but this golf weather is killing my practice time.

That was a fun race last night i had a few good battles but three spins put me to the backish.

Good turnout as well, lets get a few more out on the grid.

I’d like to propose a change to the format. It’s just a thought, but it could simplify administration and increase the strategy.

What if we reduced the maximum amount of fuel each car can carry to 8.x gallons instead of 10.6 and removed the random caution?

Here’s my reasons:
1. The caution is not automatic. It requires someone to throw the caution and to keep track of when the “random” caution will happen. This requires that person to concentrate on administration responsibilities instead of their own race.
2. If we reduce the amount of fuel allowed it would add the fuel mileage game to the simulation (see what I did there? it’s not a game!) This way the drivers that may not be as fast, but have a smoother driving style may be able to compete for a podium just based on fuel usage. Generally it takes 17 gallons for one of our races. If we reduce it to just under that, we’ll see people conserving fuel and other people diving in for a splash and go.

Thoughts?

Fun racing last night. It’s a bit sketchy passing into that first chicane. Nice to see everyone race clean and play it smart. I saw lots of passing and enjoyed watching Jeff and Mike for the first half of the race. There were 4 cars racing within 2 seconds of each other before the yellow flag came out. Fun stuff!

I enjoyed working with Jeremy earlier in the week. Not sure I was much help. But I did notice improvement in his corner enter speed and exit speed.

Now on to another chicane heavy track for next week.

Yeah buddy, just let me know when and I’ll try to be there. I like trying to help out. Makes racing much more enjoyable.
