Hi to all. I think Alberto's car is going to be free as a one-off car, if this happens, it would be possible to take it? Finally I have got a free weekend

I thought the car needed to be available before being requested. So if I someone chooses me to race his car, can I request it in advance, as if it were a reservation?
Sorry to be me the bitchy noobie here, but nobody is gonna say it anyway: that's unfair with the rest of drivers waiting for a place to be available and play the first-to-request thing.
Anyway, still 6 days before the event and more people might miss it. Cheers, happy Monday everyone.

It wasn't a reservation, he asked if it was going to be available since Alberto Iquino had released the car earlier this morning and I said yes it will available. Because he also asked if it is available can I take it, i said it is his for this race.
We have always done first come first serve when it comes to one off's.

I disagree with how this was done, I think more people do, too. I follow this thread, and checked it this morning 8am Spanish time before starting work. Lack of experience from me, so I could never tell this information would be on another thread. In order not to saturate the forum, and because I've been 19 years magaging virtual races (maybe someone reads my comments and thinks I'm just a spoiled 39-y-o child) and knowing that comments or behaviours like mine are not positive when done in the open wind, I'm sending you a PM. On the other hand, I'm out of Estoril. I'll try to come back for the next event. If I'm still welcome after all my words.

#29 West Zakspeed Racing is now free on a first come first serve basis. Should Cezarius announce his presence before anyone else asks to drive the car, he will be allowed to take part.

You can have it with pleasure. But we would like you to show a good control within the car before we allow you to race. We cannot risk more close calls like we had at Monza. Just keep calm and stay where you are on track when being lapped, us leaders will find a way past you. That is our only concern with you, everything else is okay. Don't take this as a personal attack, we just have to ensure everyone can have a safe race.

Don't take this as a personal attack, we just have to ensure everyone can have a safe race. No problem. I tried to act like at Endurance, doing the normal line until the long straights (and to let everyone pass by normal overtaking). I ask for patience too when lapping... there were cars that did not waited the end of the corner to try to overtake (it happened twice at the end of Ascari chicane, one of them was an accident).

I will practice during tomorrow, in order to be ready for the race. I use to run with low turboboost to save fuel and hard tires, my pace would be closer to Osellas because of that.

Even on the long straights, stay on the line you are already. You mention the exit of Ascari, the cars/drivers behind have probably already planned in their mind how they will pass you, such as me and Tim, We intended to pass on the left but then you moved on the exit to the left, that is what nearly caused the accidents. Just stay where you are. We showed you patience by waiting until the exit and not trying to pass going into the chicane or during it. The accident one was with me as you exited on the right, I went left, you then went left so I switched back right and then you went back to the right so contact was made.
But hat applies to everyone too, just stay where you are, the leaders will find a way past the car they are lapping. You will all be reminded in the briefing on Sunday.
