What are we required to do during the pitstop - change one or both axels and/or refuel ?

My car is in the EliteArbathJag pack, so hopefully we've all got that or it's been migrated into a GTC pack in readyness.

I will just remind you all of the Enduro regulations. you are required to do one pit stop to change  one axle set of tyres, the stop must be between 1/3 rd and 2/3 rd s race distance.
So a 21 lap race as this requires the stop between laps 7 and 14.
When you stop and which set of tyres you change is up to you.

If you do a stop for any reason up to lap 7 you still have to do the mandatory stop.
After lap 7 if you have to stop for repair then that can count as your stop.
I do check when you stop, lol .

REMEMBER
DO PUT ON THE REV LIMITER BEFORE YOU REACH THE PIT LIGHT GOING IN, AND AFTER YOUR STOP PUT IT ON.
Failure will get you to have stop/go penalties.
Releasing the limiter before you pass the out light will get you a penalty as will putting it on as you pass the in light so be careful.

The server is up if you want to practice pitting.

I can´t bear to see only one driver (VB) defending the honour of the nimble and brilliant Lotus Elite, so I will switch cars. Together VB and I will chase you all from the back of the grid.

We'll be seeing you about lap 4 then,keep checking your mirrors

Can anyone confirm what the skin situation is please? I'll need to make enough cash to buy a plain one if we aren't running the skin packs and obviously need a long while to do so.

Especially because I look like I've gone ten rounds with Tyson following a blackout which led to a floor/head interfacing. So I'm a little wobbly today. Never dull eh.

Edit. Dunno about 4 laps. I'm 7 seconds slower than my 26R time, which is about 3 seconds slower than my Cobra time. So you should see me about lap 7 

[poacherpete]

I assume that everyone read the intruction to have all the availible cars from the skin pack so that any of the elites should be ok , however we did not run skins last time in the GTC 65 s.

That's fine Pete. I'll sell my TVR from last season and buy a Elite. Np.

I installed pack 3a and 7.
Hope that's ok for tonight.

Race report in a nutshell :

The Elite needs to be in Class Z all on it's own. It's massively slower than the rest of the field.

Anyway, got a good start. Up to 16th. 15th. 16th. Took my pit stop on fumes, forgot to refuel  . Game over man, game over.

In other news, did I mention that the Elite is lots slower than the rest?

[RaoulDuke]

Argh a catalogue of errors and disasters, culminating in a 3 minute pit stop and then me getting stuck in inside car view... 

Not the best comeback of all time, but the preceding practice sessions were a lot of fun! 

Really sorry for the spank Coyote - shameful driving on my part
