For those of you who watched the F1 Championships hosted by Apex Stalkers yesterday, (Shaggy and Broughy were streaming it), what is your opinion the the Neo and Shaggy incident? I personally believe that it wasn't a clean overtake because Neo forced Shaggy into the wall (he closed the gap) and then kept going like nothing happened. I believe it was shaggy's fault. He saw Neo was faster than him out the previous corner, he blocked him from overtaking which he could of easily done as there was plenty of room for it to happen. I understand fully why he didn't wait. It was shaggy's fault |

If he had stayed on the outside the collision would have been avoided and Neo could have overtaken. |

Shaggy didn't have to block him, why'd he shaggy turn right when there was room on the left and knew Neo was much faster ? |

All this talk of Red Bull's scheme makes me wonder. If we have to have the same livery on both cars, does it have to be the same across all platforms? Yes, I was hoping team colors would be universal. |

Couple of questíones: Meh, I'm okay with the pit-stops.. Don't know how it will play out so I will just wait and see. Do you have to announce which "tire type" you're going to use to the pit-watcher when you're pitting? How do the qualifying rounds work.. Is that just a non-contact race and then watching best lap times or something? What is the track-order and at what time will the races be held? ¿?¿? Pretty please and thank you. Q.) Do you have to announce which "tire type" you're going to use to the pit-watcher when you're pitting? A.) Driver's must announce there strategy prior to the race, that way, pit watchers will know what to look for. Q.) How do the qualifying rounds work? Is that just a non-contact race and then watching best lap times or something? A.) Driver's can form "groups" (There must be at least 2 players per session), or all together to complete a 10 lap non-contact race. Q.) What is the track-order and at what time will the races be held? A.) Check the OP for the track-order, races will be held a t 5 P.M. UTC except for Xbox 360 (3 P.M. UTC). |

Hey R4C3RJK99, Would it be possible to uncover what the 1st track will be, so that we can start preparing early ? Unless of course they are going to be in order appearing in the table with links to them. If, however, you could reveal which track will be used, are the other ones going to be revealed along with this one or only before another race ? I was originally going to change the order (this might be what's confusing a few of you), but I think the current order is fine. Yes, they are going to be in the order that they are on the table. |

So if I understood this correctly, there are 2 types of tires I can use. One type lasts 10-15 min and the other lasts 30-35 min.
I have to choose beforehand which tires I want to use after every pitstop. Example: First I use 10-15 tires and on my first pit (after 13 min), I change to 30-35 tires after my second pit. That means that I have to pit 3 times in total because I need to switch tires again after 35 min because there's about 10-15 min left of the race.
Is this correct? Or am I completely wrong?

I don't understand the pit stops, I'm confused Same here, how do you have a pit strategy when you can't change tires. This is going way to real and in-depth for GTA |

A.) Check the OP for the track-order, races will be held a t 5 P.M. UTC except for Xbox 360 (3 P.M. UTC). I don´t understand why we have to make this pitstop thing so complicated? But I guess it will be this way no matter what the majority thinks about it. So how long will the Pitstop window be for Blain County 24h? -> One lap take about 3.30min, means that 3 laps take 10m30s. So we either have to pit in laps 3 or in lap 4 (14min) b/c if we want to pit in lap 5 we will get a penalty for driving our tires to long. Same with the second pit stop window. In my opinion a pit stop window of 2 laps is just ridicoulusly. Second thing is that somebody has to watch and control the strategys. If I want to change my strategy during the race b/c i know the guy infront just pitted and took soft i would like to take hard and stay out longer. But that is not possible b/c i had to annouce my strategy prior to the race. I still think that the pitstop window is easier to control and gives us a fair amount of strategy. This is not a simulation it is still GTA. |

Can we not do that here, you've got plenty of other places to talk about it. This thread is about our championship, so let's keep it that way. Otherwise it'll just turn into a shoutbox with people voicing their opinions. |

Much of the above is proof of why drivers are not the crew chiefs.  |

If we do end up doing the 20 sec pit stop if the weather still going to be fixed to a type of weather that strategy works, if we do this on current weather however can we do the idea of coming into the pits when it starts to rain its ok if we don't use this but in my opinion this would spice up the races just a little bit
