If anybody wants a laugh, watch my attempt at pitting last night. (Russ another for our list ) Just lost my passion to race after that, which is not like me, and I have done it 2 weeks in row. Last lap 3mins I think. Really sorry guys. Not showing the racing enough respect, and not practicing leads to being a nuff nuff on track. Want to race, but just don't have the time to do it justice.
No provocation here. My woeful pit stop just beats all. Over 10 seconds clear to next driver to end up last was awesome. Lucky to crawl back to 5th.
He changed to RM tyres on his first pit stop. Had to pit again after slithering around for a lap. Very frustrating I imagine.
Yes you have me for time lost, and the nuffy error in the pits (but I have put RM on front & RH on back in GT6) But my attempt at entering the pits was driving at its comical worst, it's like I had an epileptic fit, watching it even I don't know what I was thinking.
Can anyone upload the race so I can watch this majestic pit? Oh and the overall race. It sounds like a cracker
Round 5: St Croix A II - 27 laps - 13:20 - 24/11 (Endurance Round) WELCOME to Season 9!! Thanks to Selby Acoustics 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 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 for 10 mins. Once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track. THE PITS ARE CLOSED DURING QUALIFYING RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEDT (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. ENDURANCE ROUND : This round will be twice as long as normal. We recommend getting a bathroom break done before qualifying or you might need to make a longer pitstop during the race. 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 aware not to cut T5 & T20 too much as there is no ripple strip, only the white line and green astroturf. Also be careful with the exit of T5 as it leads onto the bridge and the bridge wall is close to the T5 exit. When making passes here, ensure enough room is left on the outside to avoid the outside car hitting the wall. 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 : Racing Softs and Mediums (must use both compounds separately at least once each) 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 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! 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. 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.
If anyone is having a little touble waiting for the home menu screen to load I have found a nice little solution. Turn off connection to internet in the systems network menu. Then start the game. It will say no network connection blah blah, but it will load the menu straight away. Then just turn the internet connection back on in the systems network menu. Then reconnect in the GT main menu. It should connect immediately.
