1991 F1 Championship - Round 1 - Interlagos - 21st May
Posted: Mon May 13, 2019 9:33 am
Round 1 of the KSR 1991 F1 Championship takes us to South America and Autódromo José Carlos Pace aka Interlagos.
Interlagos is located in São Paulo, and has hosted the Brazilian GP since 1973 (which may change in the very near future).
The track was always meant to be housing, however after the fun times of 1929 a racing circuit was deemed more suitable. The track opened in 1940.

Night schedule (21st May)
8:00pm - Official Practice
9:00pm - Qualifying (15 minute open session - do as many laps as you'd like)
9:15pm - Drivers briefing and warm up (practice your pit stops)
9:20pm - Race Start (40 Laps)
It has been addressed in other threads, but to confirm this is a later start time that we usually do, however the amount of racing we're doing is reduced because we're only running a single race.
Compulsory Pit Stop
There is no CPS in this league, however you must run both compounds of tyre (both Hard and Soft), and you cannot make your stop on the last lap. besides that your strategy is completely up to you. (also note that the cars do not have pit limiter and the limit is 80kph here)
Voice Communications
Everyone must be on the Discord sever at least in listen mode for the race.
Additional Information
The fuel tanks actually have a capacity of well over the default of 110L, so fuel should not be an issue for anyone, however bear in mind, the less fuel you run, the faster you can be without being as hard on the tyres.
The engines do not last long after getting hot - make sure to run enough cooling and have boost adjustment buttons mapped.
The brake disks also wear out - it's advisable to run the smallest disks you can without them exploding (larger disks = more rotating weight).
As mentioned in the main thread, Qualifying tyres are banned from the race (we see this from Live Timing and the Points Site), if you run qualy tyres you will be excluded from the race result.
Practice pit stops - the speeding penalties are extremely sensitive here. If you go at 81kph for more than a second or so you will be penalized.
Official Practice
We'll do an Official practice night on Tuesday the 14th (approx 8:00pm) for people to show up and get a feel of the car around other racers. If we get enough people we'll do a couple of short races
