P1LMS 2024 6h of Indianapolis Race thread

ok thank you

 

Dont know, how i can post this with out saying i´m completly pissed off....

starting grid was not working well, we are p6 after the quali, and we´ve had last position in the starting grid. also we have report this to the RC in the outlap what was noticed from the RC! RC Answer.... no way to do something.... to say it in short words.... congratulation guys..... That´s it.... you will be penalysed for things, you cant handle by your one.... This is exactly the RECO you need for helping you, if you are running in problems.... dont kill the cat tonight

Question to the orga here.... why it is not possible in this situation to give a whisper call "car XXX please catch up to your position P6"? Why it is not possible to do a restart "Gridscript is not working" as another option? Orga... you are killing our race completly! It was denfently your fault, that we are on a wrong position after joining the warmup session again.

Lot´s of practice was done from us in front of the race... and you are killing us by the way! where´s your brain mates?

Great Job over all... have Fun

 

Hello guys


I don't know if it was just me or if it has happened to other people, but I personally have not heard "PIT CLOSED", it would be good at that moment to repeat it and say it loud and clear, thank you.

 

During FCY? included in the rules 8.14.6.

 

There were people who heard it and other people who didn't, I'm not saying it for us because we didn't enter, I'm saying it in general

 

So Leute jetzt auf deutsch....

bis heute warte ich auf eine Antwort von der RC... bez. unserer Position in der Startaufstellung. Unser Rennen wurde von der Racecontrol komplett kaputt gemacht. Bis heute keine Antwort. Überall gibt es bei anderen Veranstaltern Reaktionen. Bis heute warten wir zumindest auf eine Entschuldigung von der Ligaleitung!

Ich gehe jetzt, da wir keine andere Möglichkeikeit mehr sehen, hier im Forum in die Offensive.... Es gibt kein Verbot, den Server im Warmup zu verlassen. Genau das, mussten wir aber, da unser Startfahrer Graphikprobleme hatte.

Wir erwarten von einem halbwegs professionellen Veranstalter, der mit mehreren Leuten in der RC sitzt, dass das Starterfeld beobachtet wird. In anderen Ligen, z.B. VEC ist so etwas standard!

Das Ganze war nicht unser Verschulden. Wir mussten im Warmup vom Server. Das müssen viele Teams in unterschiedlichen Rennen. Passiert also immer wieder und ist normal. Wenn der Veranstalter also nicht in der Lage ist, auf so etwas zu reagieren, dann muss ich ganz klar sagen.... ne, ich sag besser nichts!

Haben wir bis morgen Abend keine Antwort von den Verantwortlichen der Serie hier, dann wird unser Fahrzeug ohne wenn und aber abgemeldet!

 

General rules

Official sessions will not be delayed due to client-side technical problems

Das ist nett ausgelegt! Es sind wohl in der Regel immer technische Probleme wenn man im Warmup vom Server geht. Das nicht gewartet wird, wenn der Fahrer nicht rechtzeitig in der Warmup Session zurück joint, könnte ich da verstehen. Das war aber nicht der Fall! Der Fahrer war rechtzeitig zurück auf dem Server!

Somit hat die Startaufstellung nicht funktioniert. Auch kein Problem. Der Fahrer hätte durch Ansage der RC auf seinen Startplatz fahren können. Überall ein ganz normaler Vorgang. Daher entfällt aus meiner Sicht General rules Punkt 1

 

Peter, I consider you a friend and I admire your passion. I've done some races in this organisation with you and your team and I'd gladly do it again. But I'm with Markus on this and I think you are taking this too far. As you say, technical problems do occur and they can happen to any team at any race. What if next race there are 2 or 3 teams with client-side technical problems? If the organisation would set this precedent now at race 1, we could have total chaos the next time. Please, let this go and allow yourself and your team to enjoy the rest of the season

 

You are exactly wright Bert. And i´m not talking only for our team. It can happens to all of us.
But if all teams are back on the server during the warmup session, and that was the fact, i cant understand why in this case we... are not on our starting place. Lot´s of times i´ve seen, that teams are leaving the warmup and they are joining back without having problems with the Gridposition. That´s my point of view.

 

That may be so, but for whatever reason it didn't happen now. It's perfectly fine to ask questions about that and see if something can be done for next time. But I don't think it's desirable to have teams in the same class change order in the warm-up lap, because next time it may be 2 or 3 teams and it can create chaos by the time the race goes green. Probably the organisation thinks so as well, hence the rule. Opinions may differ but however it may be, if you ask me, this is not worth the pulling out the team for.

 

At first.... if you are waiting 4 days for a answer of a question and get nothing... nice

Nothing of my post is disrespectful. It´s not more then a clear criticsm about a situation and the result of a not given answer. If you guys think, that it is not aloud in this Country or if you have any problems with critical posts.... then i dont know.

It´s critism against what happens. it´s not a personaly critism against anyone here. If i want that, i have lots of other possibilities to do that..... But you can do what you want... it´s not my decision... i´m still waiting of that. And after that decision you will recieve my final answer....

Have fun and hopefully for all of us a better hand for you next race.

 

The first race of the 2024 P1LMS season took place on February 24, 2024.
With 5 cars competing for Seawolf Netrace Motorsport, the team was the most represented.
The results speak for themselves.

Jason Bintz and Georg Weiss (#46) secured victory in the first race in the LMP2 class.
In the GT3 class, the first victory also went to one of the Seawolf Netrace Motorsport cars.
Benjamin Gielczynski and Daniel Schmitt (#946) secured the class win by a narrow margin of 5.277 seconds ahead of BRABHAM ESPORTS.

NEEDRACING COM and GOTEAM RACING completed the podium in the LMP2 class.
BRABHAM ESPORTS and AREA 52 SIMSPORT took second and third place in the GT3 class.

Jan Kattau, Jan Wenninger and Martin Uhlemann (#23) secured 4th place ahead of our third LMP2 car.
This was driven by Erik Bergstrand and Sam Butters (#47).

The fifth car in the bunch was driven by Sven Binder and Ben Crooks (#947). They finished the race in 9th place in the GT3 class.

Erik Bergstrand (#47) after the race:
"Unexpected rain before qualifying made it difficult for us, qualified P5. Wet race start so it became a bit chaotic. Dry line started to form after first stint which made it hard to pass. Mistakes started to appear around us, which made us lose time. Got a penalty for not slowing down properly at full course yellow which screwed us with our fuel strategy, we needed to make a splash and dash to make it to the end. Race finish in P5."

The fastest lap was also set by a Seawolf Netrace Motorsport car.
The trio around Jan Kattau set the fastest lap in the race with a 1:23.466.

On 23. March 2024 we continue to Monza, where a 6-hour race awaits us.
