Any wildcard spots for the meet and greet guys? If we fill up I can jump out. And if there are any rounds that are looking low on numbers let me know, I might be able to race around at the back of the pack. (Moozer81)
Do I need to set up a 10 minute qualifier? Do we have to start on our qualifying tyre or is it free choice?
I have also been known to throw away some decent results. Although I haven't had a decent result to loss for a while now..
Round 1: Tsukuba - 44 Laps - 12:00 - 26/7 WELCOME to Season 12!! 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 regulations please ask! ROOM OPEN : Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:50 AEST. 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 AEST for 10 mins. If a driver joins while qualifying mode is active, room captains will need to grab a quick photo of qualifying results, cancel the race and then set grid by host. In practice mode, once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track. RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEST (once qualifying has finished) LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS : This is up to the room host/captains. 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. Before 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. FALSE START CHECK : Please note that the start type is Grid Start with False Start Check Please practice this so you know what to expect. Simply, you hold the brakes on until the lights go from all lit, to none lit TURN 1 LAP 1 : This has the potential to ruin someones night if we don't use our heads! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first phase with ZERO contact. Give room and run in your 'lane' till you have space to run the normal race line. If your unassisted tap causes someone to spin, you need to redress. 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. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage. Be careful with the run-off on the exit of T12. 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. If you bump someone and they end up off track or teleport back to the corner entry, you must wait for them to rejoin and get back up to speed. Show each other RESPECT! It is difficult enough to drive the car at the limit on your own, without someone squeezing you within a millimeter of the grass. So be patient and show respect to your fellow drivers. TYRES : Sports Mediums (mandatory) & Sports Softs PIT ENTRY : Please make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines. Failure to do so, where an incident/impede is caused, will have consequences PIT EXIT : Please use the pit exit lane and be aware of cars approaching out of T1. 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 @JonoStan96 @Viperzed & @emmo46. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let them 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. Stewards 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! PARTY CHAT : With the new party chat feature able to hold up to 16 participants, each division will have an open party chat for those that wish to use it. We recommend this especially to new drivers as they may ask questions about how the night is run or to clarify anything they are not confident on. PARKING UP : If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres (or no tyres) so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car. FINAL NOTE: Could all drivers please confirm their attendance for this Sunday by 'liking' this post in your division. If you are unable to attend, please post in reply as much in your division. This way we can figure out our reserves or if the room can start early in advance. (ALSO IF YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE POST SAYING SO, SO THAT RESERVES CAN BE ORGANISED IN ADVANCE)
Just a quick reminder (or information for those who were unaware) When running Raceonoz/ROOZ or team (SAR/BHR/SR/etc) lobbies, we are firstly a community. So we don't kick other rooz members from our lobbies (unless they are not following site guidelines eg threats etc) If this occurs, we may be forced to abandon the teams championship, which I wouldn't like to see happen
Having issues with my console/ GT sport all week, if I’m not seated in the lobby on track by kickoff don’t wait up, missed the 3H last night things turned into a lemon
I am mate, it feels like the console is playing up since my other games are having issues too, offline games crashing and freezing
I thought that staying out the medium tyre for a few more laps would give me an advantage when I switched to the soft. Obviously not. I thought I could make up the time I lost but my pace was nowhere and I didn't gain time on anyone. I was trying really hard to overcome my troubles but nothing worked. The car was understeering everywhere and my left arm was crippled from the constant turning. A hostile introduction to Season 12.
Did anyone read my post from that night. I wasn’t there. im sure the experienced host @SPye2_WAU would have a copy of race results. The required items have been discussed at length with him. He may just be late posting. Let’s give him the benefit of doubt.
