GT Sport Season 2 Division 1

Went in not sure with pace relative to anyone but did well to qualify 4th.
Start was ok and the top 4 slotted in together and laps started ticking.
I don't remember how I ended up in front of @Captain_Risky_21 later and I pitted on lap 13 after seeing @Bryan_F go in on 12.
As he planned, he undercut a bunch of us and I set after him and passed him.
By the time lap 28 rolled around he was still on me and we pit. However little did I know he had been conserving more fuel and jumped me in the stop with less fuel to load.
I was content to stay behind but realised too late he was probably running fuel map 2 in the first lot of esses so he saved more fuel and I couldn't pass anyway.
Had a messy moment where bryan moved back across from a defensive line just before braking for T1 and I bumped him wide, but redressed when he rejoined.
Was lucky for me when @TheStig13 hit the wall under the bridge and I nabbed my first ever division 1 podium!

when you backed me into thestig I was privately fuming lol as I was happy to bump you on the straights to make the gap!!

@GT-71CKL is a reserve here

ROUND 6 : Brands Hatch GP - 31 laps - 20:30 Sunny


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....

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.

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 turns Graham Hill, Westfield, & Sheene's

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 START TYRE : You MUST start on RH or RM tyres. But may pit to change to a maximum compound of RS during the race.

PIT ENTRY : Drivers MUST make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines. The Pit entry is different here as there is an S bend on entry that you need to slow down for. I advise you practice so as not to be driven straight through.
PIT EXIT : Please use the pit exit lane and be aware of cars approaching on the main 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 !
