All drivers are expected to follow the CMS Rules and Regulations, where appropriate.
New CMS General Rules and Regulations

I missed the first race but definitely not missing this one.

I posted this in the debrief of race 1, but thought I'd add it here, in case some people might like to try it.

From your game, selecting Free Play, Hot Lap, with the circuit layout highlighted you can press 'Y' to see
the Leaderboards. A few presses of the 'X' button from here will narrow the view down to Friends, and you
should see some CMS lap times, presumably in these cars. From here you can use 'A' and scroll down to
view the lap as a replay, and not as a ghost car. Change camera angles to get onboard the car, and hopefully
learn how the fastest guys are getting the lap times down.
For Road America Neptunenight66 has a 2:32.3xx in the Cuda, and watching a few laps of this, while
noting braking points, throttle and brake application et al, should help many of us improve.

Cheers,
Cam.

Thanks for the tip!

This is tonight! Two notes:

1) I will be running the session tonight, so please make sure you have me (enamel) on your friends list! I will be on a bit early to make sure everyone is all set and give some extra time in case there is an issue. I will be using the game lobby for chat instead of a party due to party size limitations, and to better see who has audio feedback

2) Fernando had an issue where he lost connection during the qualifying race. I have some ideas how to address this in the future, but want to talk it over with Mark. For tonight's race we will run the same as last week, no changes. Please keep this in mind the race is 2 heats, and if you leave the first race, you cannot re-enter. We will take a look at solutions to this for next week.
