    @groover33 gotta commend you on sticking around mate, even though it was clear you were well off the pace.
    Hope you recover quick!

    My race was better than the previous two rounds, a decent P5 finish.
    Absolutely bottled qualifying and was a full second off my practice times.

    Started P9.
    Had a clean start and took advantage of some errors in front of me and made up 4 positions at the end of the first lap.
    Was battling with @Viperzed @Noremac and @Russell at points over the race, which was excellent fun and kept the race interesting.
    My strategy would have worked out much better if I had the raw pace to compete with the front runners.

    With about 6 to go I was all over the back of Russell and it took me just a bit too long to get past and that ruined any chance of chasing down Hatfield. I knocked off 1.4sec in the space of 2 laps but I just ran out of laps to have a crack.

    Well done to the podium, absolute domination from @KeedenMcdonald yet again. Seriously mate get your arse into gear and give the FIA races a red hot go. You've got the talent for it.

    Not certain if I will make the next round.
    Cheers fellas

    WELCOME to Season 8!! Thanks to IgnitiON Controls
    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. 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. 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.

    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.
    Monza has a few areas to be aware of. T1-2, 4-5, 8 & 10 when cutting, ensure 2 wheels are on the ripple strip. Exits of T10 & 11, be aware of the ripple strip and white lines on exit, and be aware of the white lines on the inside of the main straight.

    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. If contact you cause results in a driver being teleport reset back to the track, you must wait for them and redress

    TYRES : Racing Softs

    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 down 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!

    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.

    I got lucky in qualifying to be behind @JonoStan96 and a few full slipstream laps put me up into 3rd until a few guys had a final low fuel run and that dropped me to 5th.
    Got away ok and commenced running in the slipstream behind the front pack until a few little errors ended that.
    Most of the first half of the race was in a slipstream pack with @Viperzed & @groover33 until with a few laps until pit, I hit the kerb at T4 awkwardly and the car continued to turn left instead of right for T5 and I was in the sand.
    That ended my shot at a possible podium as @MINT_GTR , viper and groover all battled for it instead.
    Huge congrats to @JonoStan96 on a long overdue div 1 win! not sure if it is your first, but a good win none the less.
