Then another thing that I realized only this morning: I was being lapped without understanding it, because I did not get blue flags!

OK, Learn to put on the relative screen always. (Press F3)
This shows the relative distance between the cars. (in secs)
Think of it as the triangles in LFS.

A Red name behind you means you are lapped. (BLUE FLAG
A White name represents someone on the same lap as you
A Blue name represents someone a lap down.

Also good to check this when reentering the track after an off.

Yay! :yahoo: SR 4.44 Oval

Had my second race tonight and was prepared to stay on track and without any incidents. Again on T1 someone was a bit too eager and scratched my car. When he was past his back bumper was already dented. Then I followed a good and safe but rather slow driver for a few laps. Finally got a chance to overtake, but then was so eager myself that I drove out. I got mad and disconnected and thought, that I don't need to race anymore this week, and that my points will drop below 2.50. However, after the session was finished, my points went up by ~0.1. :blink:

[Doorman]

That's another lesson-always finish the race.

[Romus]

Better race now, lesson learned, 0 incidents.

[Doorman]

One more race and you're over the first hurdle.

:devil:

Yay! :yahoo: Now do the same to get to 4 and the world is your lobster!

[Romus]

Now do the same to get to 4 and the world is your lobster!

Does that mean that the whole world is my dinner table? It took me a few minutes to figure out how a lobster relates to racing.

:lmfao: I knew that would cause trouble. The correct expression is "The world is your oyster" meaning the same thing. 'The world is your lobster' is a quote from Del boy in 'Only fools and horses' who always slightly misquoted things. Wel done for working it out though.

Would it make difference if I get over 4.00 before the end of this season? Or is it the same if I get there next week when the new 4 week season has begun? I could possible get to 4 tonight if I get 3 clean races and some TT and other stuff.

It's just that then you can race the Skip Barber.

I think that is a pretty good reason...

I thought that promotions from rookie to Class D happens after a season end if the rating is good enough. I have not read enough about how things work.

Correct! But you can as they call it "race up". Go to Series and take a look at the requirements to race the Skip Barber. It is the License "tags" on the right hand side of the screen. It shows "Rookie 4.0 Road" > "Pro Road".

That means anybody between Rookie with SR 4.0 and Pro license can race it!
As a Class D driver you *HAVE TO* race at least 2 races in the Skippy to be promoted further. Thats why it is a Class D car.

It is the same with the Mazda. I can drive it on D if my SR is above 4.0
