Cheers mate, yeah it sucks when you have a brain fart like that mid race. at least it gave me opportunity for a cracking fast lap with no petrol in the tank and a fresh set of tyres, gotta look on the bright side
had a good race but found out pitting on the last lap doesn't work lol so didn't end up using the mandatory mediums, I've reported myself in to the stewards.
I assume he tried to pit ON THE LAST lap and his race just finished, rather than putting on the medium tyre even if the mediums had gone onto the car, it would still be illegal lol
the car went through the pits ok but my pit crew had already packed up and was having beers so my car never stopped at my box and just drove through the pit lane.
I would just like say a well done to @fezza its nice to see there are still some honest people in this world which you dont see much any more so once again well done mate
I'll second that, props to @fezza I had a good hard race...blindly hoping that at least a few of the people in front of me needed to pit before end of race... @Aza2672 did but was too far in front for it to make a difference. I figured I needed to concentrate on not going off track - went off track twice in the sand, felt minor, but lost 5 seconds each time. I thought I did pretty well - though only had 2 tanks of fuel practise on an unfamiliar track, well done to everyone, quite the pace through the division!
Round 6: Alsace - 21 Laps - 8:30 - 30/8 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. During qualifying PITS ARE CLOSED 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. 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 you are redressing contact, please do so out of the way of other cars, off the racing line, or if there isn't much room, off track. TYRES : Sports Mediums (mandatory) & Sports Softs PIT ENTRY : Pit entry lines are to be followed at ALL TIMES. 4 wheels across the white lines the determine Pit Entry will be seen as a violation of track limits and you will be subject to a penalty depending on severity and quantity of cuts. PIT EXIT : You are required to use the pit exit lane, Penalties will be adjudicated in similar fashion to Pit Exit. Please be aware of cars approaching into 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! 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)
What a race! Actually a little lonely stuck out the front a little more than usual...glimpses of keeping up with Sparkle and Blunty were soon dashed after losing 8 seconds when i missed my brake marker for the T11 hairpin...
Just a last minute reminder for anyone that hasn't seen yet, running a Bathurst fun race this Sunday due to the Fathers Day bye week. All details are confirmed in OP - rooms to be confirmed once the results from this weeks placings are released. http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/fathers-day-bathurst-bash.4180/ Cheers
I'll be honest, I thought you were going to get second place on sunday, I just couldn't put a few quick laps together on the night. I was hitting under 2:12 constantly driving by myself, but on the night I was struggling. I feel like on that track the quicker you try to go the slower you actually go. Fair play to @Blunty075, Very quick driving. I knew when you got a sub 2:11 time the best I was going to mange was 2nd place unless you stacked it. unfortunately for me you didn't.
Who has the results for round 6 guys I thought @Peersy was sending them to robin edwards but I'm not sure sorry mate
@Matthyus Round 6 - Qualifying Race results Qualifying Fastest time - 2:10.922 @sparklehead83 Not sure who has fastest race lap
