Do you have to start the race on the same tyre that you qualified on? I'm not sure how the lobby system works (maybe AnythingBut can clarify this) but I thought if you exited back to the lobby to change settings it reset your time? I'll have a play tonight if I get chance.
I've never changed tyres between qualifying and race so far, but I believe time reset is just temporary: once you get back on track (not simply in the pits) it'll pop back up after some ~30 seconds. It'll keep that time even if you switch car.
Didn't notice SS are allowed. Might be a little overkill even for qualifying lol.
I think you need to be explicit on what tuning means or doesn't mean (unless you can restrict in the lobby, for example gear ratios should be kept stock, people just need to know this.
Can we also add some Gentlemen Racing Etiquette Rules ? Something like ..
Flash from behind - I think i'm faster than you and am likely to try an overtake
Hazards - Thanks for letting me past, not crashing into me ..
Also can I suggest that if a place is gained by an accidental bump, then at the drivers discretion they should try to hand the place back, clearly sometimes this is impossible, but where possible this should be discretionary (i.e. not mandatory).
Thoughts ?
If it's about lapping cars (or cars from different categories, but not the case here), that's fine and it should go without saying.
If it's about two cars competing for the same position, then no. The driver in front has the right to the the racing line, and the driver behind should judge when/how to overtake. The driver behind will eventually overtake him if he's really better/faster
(that said, like Fifanutz, if I see I'm slowing down someone clearly faster than me I usually let him pass)
EDIT:
Interesting. Iirc with BoP on, you aren't allowed to change the gear ratios....?
I see a lot of people flash online when they get close, but they fail to make the pass often and its just distracting in the mirror. I'm of the stance that if you're fast then you should be able to overtake that person pretty easily.
Never seen hazard used like that. I think they should be used if you are going slow for a particular reason on the track, such as damaged or reducing penalty time.
Last tip is something I do and its good sportmanship. Just don't go slow on the track to wait for the person. Had someone do that in a daily and caused half the field to crash.
Its our first race so I thought it should be a bit more relaxed. Penalties are on strong, ghosting is on weak and flag rules are on, so if there's a crash the field on track should not overtake each other.
No, there's no way to ban tuning sadly. I think it's fine when we use different cars, but it could be a problem when doing one-make races
(I don't usually tune cars, I don't even know where to begin)
