Season 6 Race 7 Hockenheimring 50 Laps

Sunday December 18th 5pm PST- Rhine Valley, Germany

One of Germany's premier racing venues this historic track began in 1932 and is located in the scenic Rhine valley in SW Germany. This track is legendary with its nearly completely flat design, long flat-out curve know as the Parabolika, high speed straights where drivers can nearly hit 180 mph and it's several tight and technical corners. Architecturally this track is a masterpiece and for racing it will provide the winner with immense pride for winning the inaugural race of HockenheimRing for the Forza Sports Car Series.

Nope. Corrected though.

I'll be pre-racing tomorrow fyi

I haven't seen that many ppl practicing this weekend especially since i've been doing a whole lot of overtime @ work ... if any 1 sees me online and are doing practice laps plz invite me asap, as i feel the lambos should do really well on this track

I was on yesterday for about 6 hours but I was testing. Didn't open a room. I will have a rooms up probably Sat evening and most of Sunday. It has been one of those weird weeks.

Steering? What are we going with?

Is this at the normal or sunrise (sunset?) track? I notice better times at the sunriseset version...

possibly due to different track temps maybe?

Don't know if I'll be able to make this one. What do I need to do to pre-race? Just set up a room according to what the rules for it say and send replay/time, or do I need to have someone in the room with me?

I sure would like to qualify but no ones been online.

I have to preface as well thanks to a family Christmas thing tomorrow that I was JUST told about! Got to start planning these things on Saturday!!!

in the middle of my qualifying I made an adjustment on how I took turn 5 and somehow managed to run an entire second faster than I had been. F*ck yeah!

Go get it Basticular!

I may be pre-racing due to connection issues. Im on my gf comp at her house, that was the only way i could post this message. Im hoping it get fixed but if not good luck tonight everyone.

due to the proximity to the holidays, this might be a pretty light field tonight.

i might have to do a pre-race due to my connection dropping lately, i don't want to lag all over the place and ruin anyone's race then DC halfway through.

Wow! I already pre-raced, but looking around, everyone remaining might be in the a-room!!! Thank goodness we got a few weeks off! Should have lots of practice time for leMans.

i just looked and my PI got dropped 1 point...i didn't even finish the last race and it got dropped?

Finishing position has nothing to do with PI adjustment. If you finish 1st 10 of 11 times and everyone else around you had the same opportunity to finish 1st and displayed the same pace and lap times and are = than no PI adjustment is will be given. The purpose of the PI is bring parity to the field.

Qualifying times are showing on the Website.

How were you running in the race before dnf? If you were doing well, that could explain why. A dnf is like blowing an engine, it did not effect how well you were racing while in there. Usually just a rim change can get that 1 point.

If we are all in one room it will be pretty hairy with guys running 1:42's and us slow rookies running 1:46's. A lot of lapping I see in tonights race!

i was running 3rd before i DNF'd but many other people had better lap times than me, mine were just more consistent...but oh well it is what it is i guess...can't make a rim adjustment though because mine are the 2nd heaviest and putting on the Lexani's will put me to 727 so i'll figure something out.

Try the flywheel or driveline. It is usually 1.
