Made it in time for the race and was a fun race. Had a big spin on lap 1 down to 9th and decided to go 19laps on the hards, to have the mediums for last stint. Just came out infront of xlxy90 after his last stop. Was very close, f1 style timing. ā
I was hoping to build more of a gap towards the end of my second stint but I just couldn't shake you before pitting. My plan was to swap to mediums on lap 21/22 but you were closing too quick after your pit stop so I had to come in to try and cover. About lap 25 or 26 I gave up chasing you and settled for second.
From 1st to where ever he ended up after his spin back to first. GW tickle. @xlxy90 clearly all that prac payed off great result and speed and stuff. So many diff stratagies playing out. Decided on a one stop when i noticed how much @Standerdfulla struggld to get through traffic after his stop. Had enough speed and consistency to jump to 3rd through pit stops. Pitted and came out right behind scotty and wizz. Not good. Wizz had a half stack and an accident followed with damage for half a lap. Back to 4th. Then fuller died.
Not sure why I continue to even post race reviews lol. Worked hard before the lobby even opened and experimented with mates using static IP addresses etc to try and sort my internet issues. With some help (Thank you so much for trying @Knuckles @arakasi- @Luckgoesmyway and @grassies ) I was able to actually set off for the practice start all be it with some issues for other people. We had finally gotten to a point where I may have gone racing only for @GT-71CKL to appear Oh well, Fingers crossed for next week we can work the issues out early and I'll be able to start my first league race since Dragon Trail Season 1.....
@GT-71CKL is missing the next 2 rounds and I am looking to swap him with someone from div 1 for next week anyway
It wasn't him specifically, it was more just a late entry that threw everything out of wack, but that'll be music to most of our ears! Bloke is insanely quick
Does anyone have an image from the replay just before the last finisher crosses the line showing the lap times? @NAACS @GT-71CKL @xlxy90 ??
ROUND 3 : Dragon Trail Seaside - 2 x 16 laps - 18:30 Fine - SPRINT ROUND As always please take 2 mins to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night......If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regs please ask ! ROOM OPEN : Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:50 AEDT. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them. QUALIFYING : 8:20 AEDT RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEDT LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS : This is up to the room host. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I always look at 1 or 2 starts if required due to DSC, but as it gets later everyone needs to be aware of getting things going. Please be as reasonable as you can with this.... SIGHT ISSUES: Ensure that you can see everyone on track. After qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again. It can also be done pre-qualifying to save time if there is no chance of latecomers. TURN 1 LAP 1 : This has the potential to ruin someones night if we dont use our heads ! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first lap with ZERO contact. Give room and run in your 'lane' till you have space to run the normal race line. The start at Seaside will be very packed through the left-right ess. Make sure to leave enough room if still side by side with someone or the outside driver could be pushed into the sand on exit and this could cause a spin off the wall back onto the track. If someone ends up in the wall, the chain reaction will cause major headaches SPRINT ROUND : The second race is reverse grid based on the race 1 results. TRACK LIMITS : As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. Be careful with the tighter esses after the downhill and before the final turn. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage. CONTACT : Is to be avoided at all times..... If you rear end someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Side by side 'rubbing' is racing, within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room. COMPULSORY TYRE : RH is not mandatory for this round so you may use only RM if you wish PIT ENTRY : Drivers MUST make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines. PIT EXIT : Please use the pit exit lane and be aware of cars approaching on the straight. NOTE: Pitting is NOT compulsory BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : This season the stewards will be will be @Hatfield @JonoStan96 @Viperzed & @emmo46. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let us know via a PM. DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. We will ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captain to make any decision. SAVE YOUR REPLAY : If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved ! and finally... TIGHT CHICANE WARNING!!!!!! Please be careful with the final tight chicane before the final turn. Going into the initial right left, 2 wide fits going flat out, BUT, the next left right will end in the wall. Whoever is leading as you exit the initial right left has right of way and I ENCOURAGE the other car to back off and slot in behind. USE YOUR HEADS.
