    Hey Guys,

    i would prefer Option C as well.

    But I would run the Q-Server only 3 days before the race. So we/you guys can have the mini races in the week before. But i would keep the mini race server running. so you can go and have a quick qualifying and after that you can go racing again.

    I think for the slower guys it would be nicer if you would split the groups in the middle. Otherwise when there are always around 20 people racing and only 5 on server B, it will not last long until these 5 guys are gone.

    I would also prefer a slower car. It is easier for new people and slower cars always gives us closer racing. So would take F2000 or the Formula 3. And the nicest think would be if someone could make something like a base setup for everyweek. For people with not so much time and knowledge. The KS2 is very complex.

    Thats it for the moment. :-)

    Thanks for the input guys. We will look at the options we have regarding pre-qualifying.

    The next question is about the schedule. Here are the options:

    a) Use our own schedule
    b) Follow the F1 calendar (with more breaks this time)
    c) Follow the GP2 / support series calendar

    Again, any input / opinions would be great!

    Regarding the event I would like two races better like F Grippa does.
    So option B (or D).
    One long race can get boring when gaps between drivers grow after many laps and you're just left alone on track lapping for yourself.
    Having tow races is more exciting.

    Regarding to the schedule I would tend to option A this time (own schedule).

    Using our own schedule's better. F1 visits a lot of boring tracks, & we don't have all of them anyway, plus finding good versions of new additions to the calendar is tricky (like with Singapore).

    Yep, I vote for option A as well. There are so many great tracks for netKar now, I think it would be a shame to limit the season to the F1 tracks.

    If option A does get the go-ahead, how many races would you guys like to see per champ? 6, 7, 8?

    9 Very Happy Looking back over past champs they had 9 rounds, but that was when there was a race a week. GPC was every two weeks & only 6 rounds. Obviously we don't want the champ' to feel like it's dragging on, so work out how often the races are gonna be first.

    that would be 27 races per year, 7 more than weve had this year.

    I vote for option C, we need top drivers to be in group A. Also this will allow to introduce a penalty. If you confirmed allocation and didn't participate in Race - add xx seconds to hotlap for next race.

    I like long races - it dramatically differentiate champ from single 5-10 laps races on regular day.

    I propose to have race each 2 weeks so not to follow F1. 2 weeks gives good amount of time for practicing/setup tuning.

    We currently have Stefano over at IRaceOnline working on a new prequal / hotlapping system which we hope to use for the new champ (Option C). The ETA should be around the start of February; hopefully around the same time the Lambo is released. We still have the schedule and a few other things to sort out but if all goes to plan we shall have the KS2 and Lambo champ integrated with each other (Like we did last year with the Osella and ARS series inbetween KS2 races). We will not follow the F1 calendar.

    There's still a few weeks left before we start announcing things so make the most of your time off guys Razz
