Which is fair enough

How is Eau Rouge going to be monitored?

just cut it flat out speed!!!!!

same as always, if you see somebody cut a bunch of times, submit an SI

There should be no reason to cut it (for BMW guys anyway) as the corner can be taken flat out without cutting.

Can't take eau rouge flat out 8n the lambo as goes wide at the top of the hill

it can be taken flat in the bentley too (its not the fastest tune tho), so there should be no excuses, yet there will be those who do

I understand the drop round but only being 10 points behind you was unexpected

I didnt understand it. I thought if you miss a race you use it as a drop round. I never realised it was the lowest scoring round, that just means you dont even need to be the best to win. I've had 1 win and 4 podiums but because mine was a better finish i lose more points, that to me is abit stupid. Oh well what will be will be.

If in Spa you have an awful race, you won't be calling it "stupid" that's for sure. The whole point of the dropped round is to allow drivers that can't make it still have a chance for the Championship. Your worst race will not affect the championship as this effectively becomes a 4 race series. Only people who've not attended a race will benefit from this.

Or people who have had one really bad race, can still win over people who have been more consistent. If its to help people who have missed a race i would makr it so you can request a drop round for yourself if you need to miss one. Either way i lost more points than some. I still should be rewarded for doing 5 races, or what was the point in turning up at Catalunya for example. So i screwed myself by doing every race and not understanding the drop round. I'll remember to miss a race next time. That way i should be better off.

I would encourage you to embrace this rule. I didn't have to turn up for Monza but keep in mind there are no dropped rounds for teams championship. Also keep in mind you may have a lagout and someone may absolutely wipe you out on turn 1 at Spa and then you've to claw your way back up the field and then all of a sudden you now have a worse finish than Catalunya. The rule is there to protect the competitor against things beyond their control, ie: emergency at home, power cuts, lag outs, crashes and so forth. The list goes on.

I've been on FM since day one. This rule has been in place in all events. I've never not come across it. Expect to see this all the time.
