    Hi Lads,
    I have had a look at a few replays from Tuesday night.....well it was entertaining to say the least. These GT4s are awesome to drive and give great racing. They are more forgiving, need less tuning and I think they even the field out a lot more. However, the driving standard was not at the standard expected of Rooz. I just want to reiterate what Stu posted after Round 1...

    What i would say to everyone, is that it appeared that drivers were taking a 'race' line in traffic, with not a lot of awareness of who or what was going on around them. So from that race please lets re-enforce the following.
    - If there is an incident, redress if you feel you have caused it !
    - Make sure you stay in your 'lane' until the grid shakes out in the first few corners
    - Make sure you have your proximity indicators ON
    - If something does happen, dont whinge and moan about it, if you feel you have been hard done by then protest !
    - FINALLY, if you feel you want driving standards to be looked at, then do it the right way through the stewards group and the processes we have in place to deal with it.


    Incidents will occur, we aren't racing hard enough if there are no incidents, but when it starts affecting peoples enjoyment of racing or their ratings take a hit then something needs to be done about it. If people have issue with the driving standard then protests need to be sent to the stewards so that people can be held accountable. The standard you walk past (drive i mean) is the standard you accept

    We do have the option of setting a minimum SC & RC rating on the server. Im not keen on doing this as we want to keep this league as inclusive as possible while people are still heavily involved in GTS and PCars. This will be looked at before next season.

    Well Said Penguin....
    Guys, the only other option with this is to have people penalised for rough driving / causing accidents, if seen by the stewards group or room captains, even if there is no protest. It would be a time consuming option, so please try to do the right thing and hold all drivers, yourself included, to the highest standards.

    People MUST be held accountable if their driving is found to be not up to scratch. Cause an accident and drivers might be cranky, but at least you have their respect for doing the wrong thing and redressing it. Punt someone off into row 7 of the grand stand and drive off, its pretty tough to justify spending 5 or 6 hours a week practicing, to have that driver steer off into the distance while you hobble back to the pit lane with your tailpipe shoved up your clacker !

    Cheers
    Stu

    GT4 Sprint Series - Round 2 - Kyalami - 01/12/20

    [​IMG]

    Server will open at 8pm ADST
    Server 1 - Rooz ACC GT4 PRO Server - Password: Rooz - Captain: JJ_Penguin
    Server 2 - Rooz ACC GT4 AM Server - Password: Rooz - Captain: TBA


    Event Schedule
    Room open 8:00pm ADST
    Prac 10min (to allow time to join the server)
    3x Qual 5min
    3x Race 15min

    Weather

    [​IMG]
    Chance of some rain in Kyalami

    Turn 2 - 4 Lap 1
    This is always a hot spot and care is needed going into Turn 2 - 4, we know what happened in the GT3 Series!!!. If cars are side by side coming out of Turn 1 then space needs to be given as the entry to Turn 2 is very narrow for car that was on the outside of Turn 2.

    Track Limits
    There are a couple of critical points that may catch people out. Exits of Crowthorne, Sunset, Esses, The Crocodiles and Ingwe need to be wary of track limits. Particular care needs to be taken for the sausage kerb at Cheetah!

    Replays & Protests
    Drivers must assign a button for 'Save Replay'. The game only records 3 - 4 mins. If you are involved in an incident, saving the replay will be critical for any protests. Press the Save Replay Button 30 - 40 secs after the incident to ensure the moment is recorded.

    Party Chat

    Party Chat will be setup for both Servers. I suggest joining the chat for practice, then you can choose to leave or start your own, that is up to you. But try to join the server chat at the end of the race. Personally, I prefer to have chat off during races.

    Cheers

    Start of R2 last night. So much fun. Wish I had captured last lap of R1 where I was sandwiched between Ty and JJ. Awesome battle.

    End of R2 last night. These cars are good fun for sure. I just found that the PS saves up to an hour of gameplay on any game which you can set in the share settings, then quickly save whenever by pressing the share button then square. Very handy for these sprint races :thumbsup:

    That was awesome fun last night. Those cars are a lot of fun to drive. I’ve got some good ideas for what we can do for GT4 seasons next year. Well done everyone that was a great night

    Turn 1 - 4 Lap 1
    This is always a hot spot and care is needed going into Turn 1 - 4, especially going up the hill to the Hairpin. Remember to give space and stay in your lane.

    Track Limits
    This is usually an issue here. If your cut a corner or run wide your on the grass or into the sand trap.

    Don't stress mate, I would rather be slightly pushed by yourself at the front end than being punted racing in the back of the field, it was the slightest touch but enough for me to over shoot, it might also be that we had different braking points as well mate.
    Enjoy your xmas break, thanks heaps for what you have managed to do with Acc and the new experiences we get in online racing, its definitely a step up from PC2 or me and while it has been a new learning curve as well with the fanatec wheel upgrade I feel like it is slowly coming together.
    so pretty happy to keep chipping away and maybe one day I might be able to compete at a higher level again.
    Thanks JJ

    yeh it's a bit hard to get motivated for it when the main series has finished
