Just jumped in the PRL session in the league and ran some laps... looks like it's the old chicane layout of the Roval. the official iracing series this week is the new Roval. are we sticking with the old layout ?

This is a very good question because the chicanes are the two spots where I need most of my practice at and I would hate to practice the wrong chicane when I get on later today. jeromef1 do you have an answer for this?

This is the one shown for the PRL session on Monday.

This is the one shown for Official

We will follow official. I will make the change. Thanks for noticing, appreciate it!

You did pretty good one handed. Hopefully you didn't aggravate it too much to race Monday!

Thanks! It was pretty sore and not quite on the pace with just one hand but I will give it a try

Sorry guys for the lap 1 T6, I spin directly on the apex, damn cold tires

 

[Kemosobie03]

Hopefully I didn't make you have to change your pants after the back chicane on lap 1 Hootius lol. I started to brake but had a lapse in concentration. I'm so glad I didn't hit you!

 

[Hootius]

You were fine. I saw and moved to the left so it looked worse than what it was. Sorry for the apparent dive bomb going into the final chicane. You were doing the right thing and being conservative on cold tires, I just didn't think you were gonna be that conservative and wasn't planning on going for a pass there, and then had to make the move not to hit you.

I'm the most unlucky man in the world... This track is buggy all over the place!! With two laps to go, I was running P3 with 8x incidents. Evoknight23 was pushing (we did not touch). On the backstretch, I was running in a straight line, and boom... Drive through penalty because I got 13x... Why?? I did nothing...

Let's move on to Road America which should be a 0x race...

I honestly don't remember you "dive bombing" me lol. I had been backing up my final chicane braking because I wasn't fond of the way my car was getting upset on the transition from oval turn 4. Granted I may have backed it up too much a couple times, but I was trying to be more safe than sorry lol.
