NoLo1 - Etana and Jarno
NoLo2 - Lamppu and xzeal
OK then, i just need colors (and code) for NoLo2 and then all set.
Rather than sub drivers, the 21+ will be considered normal registered drivers... but 1-20 will take priority on race day.

I'm willing to join the cup for the sake of 2 nolo teams, but I guess sign up closed a while ago :P...
I know it is a bit late... a bit very very late, but can I be nr.23 on the list? I'm sure at least 3 people will not show up...
I'll come to the test race today anyway...
Today? Are you little bit (a week) early? :wink:
Oh right... heh heh :P
Too eager to see 2 nolo teams...
Wouldn't be surprised much if I happened to be the slowest of the team with antislider...

Thank you! Note to other teams: NoLo2 color is Lime-Green.
Drivers with no teams:
- Tijny
- Mike Nike
- Kyna_Musti
Perhaps these men may talk and form a team. Though i will be terrified if we see the Tijny-Mike team, but it's welcome. "lol"
Dede and Olio - still unsure if they will participate. If they do, they will be a team. Dede has said if Olio is out, then he will not play either (so it's either both of them or neither of them).
Still waiting for other team's liveries.

Dede and Olio are IN as Ippon² Banti Team (waiting color code).
Dede is searching for a teammate for Kyna. That will only leave 2 people.
Tijny and Mike Nike, you guys ok with teaming?
Great, then sign ups are officially complete!

Allright, am fine with the team!
As soon as the server isn't too laggy, i hope we can win the team ranking - didn't check the teams though, yet...
Edit: 21th october, the sunday, i play a poker tourney in portugal, so i won't show up. 1st question: may other drivers replace me there?
2nd question: who lives in portugal close to Faro ;D? (am driving to the algarve)
Teamname: we might take the name:
[YeLo]
with yellow car color and a shape of green or orange

Thank you veeery much Mr. Dede for signing Mr. Peto!
Sign ups are now closed, we will accept no more players at this time. In the future, though, we may try to get another player or two if needed.

swos wants to play with yellow, Tijny/Mike: can you change your color to e.g. orange with yellow stripe (or whatever)

It would be best if Swos and Benzin change their colors. For 2 reasons:
1 - Mike and Tijny set yellow first
2 - "YeLo" sounds like "Yellow" so it makes sense
A Black team would look good.

ehehe but it's not m decision of course. Check below to see the other team's colors and try to get a different one.

4 more liveries and a team name needed, and the website can be set!.
Info Needed:
Teams:
1 - Cavallino Rompente - Mouse and BluT - Red Black White
2 - [team name] - Jazzyclub and rivolta - [liveries]
3 - Ippon² Racing Team - benzinfurs and swos - [liveries]
4 - Team NoLo1 - Etana and Jarno - Violet
5 - Ippon² Kappkoyringarlið - u9 and bar - [liveries]
6 - Panza Racing - Speedy and Stummihouse - Maialozzo-Pink
7 - [dp] - Etmil and Drago - White Gray
8 - [fS] - Janne and Jan - Blue White
9 - Team NoLo2 - Lamppu and xzeal - Green
10 - Ippon² Banti Team - Dede and Olio - Green White Red
11 - Ippon² Over'N'Out - Kyna_musti and Peto! - [liveries]
12 - [YeLo] - Tijny and Mike Nike - Yellow Orange

I don't get why the refuel time is that short: that makes tactics hardly useful.
I tested some track and they aren't really anti-friendly. Many places where to crash easily, and so on. For example Mulholland has many obstacles near to the curves.

I agree about the fuel part, but about the tracks... Some of us don't like to drive with anti on "anti friendly" tracks...
I say keep those tracks, more fun :)...
Well I suppose since I'm not taking this cup very seriously (I'll still be there though) others might disagree :)...

Olio: Laps can be seen on GPOR.it and when you download the track pack, there is an image that displays laps for each track.
Fuel is set so there is less strategy involved and more about driver's speed.
and again, tracks are set final, no changes. Some people simply have different taste in tracks, so i understand you, Dede.

Ah, oki. Didn't notice that before.
Why fuel then in the first place, if you don't want strategies to effect too much to races? Shouldn't fuel be all about tactics?

I think fuel is just something to make it irritant. You have to keep remembering that speed depends on how much you have fuel and you can't concentrate on driving because you have to think when to pit.

There can be strategy in the races, but i don't want a good result to depend on having a good strategy. More about driving for this cup and less about use of calculated fuel stops.

I think the most influence the fuel really takes, is:
a) mistakes in pits
you can lose time by: not stopping perfectly (stopped outside the pitzone first; not stopping due to rest speed; not accelerating early enough or even: accelerating too early - running out of fuel after last stop)
b) loss of concentration while racing
like JTS said: you can't concentrate on driving because you have to think when to pit.
Let's say: the concentration is definately not as high as in races without fuel.
I remember the Flow Reincarnation track - i was leading with a good gap and could have run the race relaxed to the end....but i accidently stopped wrong (too early maybe) and got something like 3rd place only in the end because i had to make an additional stop or something similar.
Well, the filltime 5 sec is relativ small, so if you want to fill a certain amount of fuel in your last stop because you do not need more, then you probably won't hit the right percentage.
Nevertheless, startfuel can be an additonal tactic, but i do not think i will use something else than 100%.
The strategy in 1st stop could be interesting though - when you are behind a slower car and had no chance to overtake so far, then you stop either shorter or longer than this car...

I'd like to add:
c) Not enough room for safe pitting in pits.
Now it seems that strategies will be very similar with everyone. When we count that together with 20 drivers, smaller pits might get crowded... It should be tested, that at least 10 cars could do pitting same time without problems (1car/team).
