okay cool. As for team 1 strategy, I'm happy to race for a couple of hours straight if necessary. If anything that would be best so my roommates aren't hogging the internet.

hey guys,

by **HC_26** Mon Nov 03, 2014 7:16 am

Hi Natalino, welcome!
I'm the guy who offered you the seat, nice to see you here Wink

Speaking about the event, what Quali time do you guys think is needed to meet the "top 60" to be able to race?
I think we should aim to a 2.05:XXX, the lower the better.
What are you running at the moment?

From what I can see, pole will be a 2:03.9 (maybe, might not be). Fastest will be 2:04's but I think if we got at least into mid to low 2:05's, we'd be doing quite well Smile

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:28 am

does everyone need to do quali? and also, where to get the setup, and also, when is the quali, and also, Hello, i'm Natalino and will be the 4th person Very Happy

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:44 am

can also someone invite me to the team car and stuff, i dont know my way around yet here, and setup and stuff Smile

by **HC_26** Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:53 am

Natalino you will be racing in the team II (we have two teams running in the MoE).

They just take the best Qualy time of each team, so there is no need for everyone to qualify.
I'm not sure but we have to share the same setups in both Q and race, and we are still working on them.

This is just a quick draft of what I've come up with. We can change it to 1 hour stints. I just checked and the original plan I had will be difficult to work with as the fuel lasts 65 minutes so working with that would be a bit of a maths pain.

I have a bit of a problem, I can't download the RUF track (so I can't join the prac sessions). It says 'verification failure' when I try to download it?

Also is there a forum post or anything for MOE series on the iracing forums? Just to check it out

There is something broken about downloading the RUF's. Check out the forums, I believe Jasper Groeneweg had a alternative download for it. PM him and check it out.

Sounds good to me, I'm happy to drive as long as necessary though. I'm not as inconsistent as that okayama race would make me seem :p

Would I have to sign up and join the session before the race started, then go to sleep, wake up and race?

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:51 am

well, did 5.8 on another server now, pablo lopez had mid 4s i think. but this is with a race setup from forum with adjustments for less fuel, but is stable as hell

by **LMR RileyF1** Mon Nov 03, 2014 11:13 am

Also how do you know the passwords for the practice servers? :s

by **LMR Zakspeed** Mon Nov 03, 2014 11:16 am

Ah ok, not as fast as I was expecting Smile

now, I'm not fully sure, but I might not be available for the first or second stints. I will know more by Thursday so maybe Someone can fill in for me.

Also, I'm not sure about all having to join the session at once. I don't think that would have to be the case. I will look into it Smile

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 11:47 am

lol, the passwords for every server were in description for every one lol Very Happy

so, with right weather with my setup i'm at like mid-high 05s, and mack baccum did 04.5, other less alien people were lolw mid 05s (but all were from radical team lol).

by **LMR RileyF1** Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:21 pm

haha yeah I figured out where the passwords were. Can anyone send me the setup they've been using to practice? I did 6 or 7 laps then and got into the 5's, setup didn't feel very nice though.

by **HC_26** Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:37 pm

Yesterday I saw Julian R. Moreno (one of the fastest guys over iRacing) doing a 2.03:700 affraid

And I think a lot of teams will fall into 03s.....so I hope that a mid 2:05 will be enough.

BTW, you don't need to join the sessions as it starts, you can join whenever you want before your stint (that's what I've understood from the forums)

by **LMR RileyF1** Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:11 pm

are you guys practicing with the weight penalty on? I'm around a 5.2 at the moment with the weight penalty. I think I could get into the 4s with more practice

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:14 pm

weight penalty and correct weather! watch out for the weather, its 1+ second slower, because its clear skies and all

by **LMR RileyF1** Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:33 pm

yep, I am using the correct weather. Although I did try it with the default weather once and I was actually around 1.5 seconds slower on the default weather.

by **Natalino** Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:08 pm

i was using race setup from the forum

http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3269860.page#8309165

only with wing at -2 and with less fuel and just a click lower height

by **LMR RileyF1** Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:13 pm

Cool, I'm still working on my setup, will post it up soon. Trying to make it pretty stable so everyone can drive it easily.
