Hi all, Let me take this opportunity to welcome you along to RaceOnOz GT7 Season 8. We're constantly evolving Sunday League to be more inclusive, more competitive with the hope of being more fun! I'm super excited to see what the Porsche gives us this season, it's been a long time since we've run a pure road car. Some of you will see we've committed to running BOP off, standard power and weight with Sports Softs ONLY for this season. This means we can utilise the Brake Controller but also keep the trademark feel of the 911. We're running a low tire wear season to counter for a few different styles of driving this car but may throw a wildcard or two in terms of fuel wear, maybe not! We can discuss over the next week in the "Regulation Discussion" thread. This car benefits from close racing so our priority is to promote on track action.

This season we're once again trialling a Pre Season Qualifying night. This will feature 3x 15 minute Qualifying sessions (With a 5 minute warm up beforehand) at 3 seperate circuits that will assist us in setting up divisions for the season. These Division threads will be initially filled and seeded based off past performance and driver preferences however being a style of car we haven't driven before, we'd like to be able to seed people based off how they will perform this season. At the conclusion of each session, drivers will screenshot their "Session Best" timing screen that includes their best and optimal lap times. These will both be taken into consideration when setting up the divisions. Screenshots will then be sent to the Division PSN chat where I can grab them and put them all together to get the best view possible of how everyone performed!

These qualifying times WILL NOT AFFECT where you start on the grid. We will still be running a quali session on the night of each round, they are purely to assist us with divisions.

Any and all questions are welcome below or via my Inbox.
Thankyou everyone and enjoy the season!
Viperzed (Liam)

Thankyou Jono (CaptainRisky21)

Division 1 has been provisionally seeded for PR1Q. Movements are likely to occur.

Morning all, it's been brought to my attention that due to our settings options to allow Brake Balance, there are minor tuning options available to you all that may fly under the radar of PP, Power and Weight limits. I'd like to make it clear that any drivers found to be exploiting this loophole will not be welcome back for the remainder of this season. It is totally against the RaceOnOz spirit to abuse this loophole and will be firmly looked down on.

It's reccomended to avoid possibly tripping up on this, that for the season you purchase a brand new "fresh" 911 and simply purchase Brake Controller and Sports Softs for it. All and any other options purchased or adjusted are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. I have decide to push through with using the brake controller as I believe I can trust everyone in each division to do the right thing. Prove me right!

Cheers

Terrible right? With more settings, We'd have so much more capability in terms of community series' and indeed Sunday league.

Hi all,

In light of the insecurities brought on as a result of allowing brake balance and running without BOP, we have decided to reverse this decision and prohibit the Brake Controller and turn BOP on. This should retain the same power levels but ensure a tighter field in light of any mistakes or settings changes.

This decision was made to ensure the tightest field possible after testing showed that settings changes can allow a large drop in lap times while still retaining the same PP, Power and Weight levels. Drivers may not have done this on purpose however as we found that some settings carried over accidentally.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused, I respect that the car does indeed get more difficult to drive as a result of not having Brake Balance available, it requires a lighter touch.

Thankyou for your patience and I look forward to seeing many of you next week!
Cheers

Track list and all final details locked in.

Some rough times as possible benchmarks
Alsace - 2.02
Maggiore - 47s
Brands - 1.31

Hey all,
Wanted to announce that long term sponsor SELBY ACOUSTICS have thrown in a $500 voucher which will be up for grabs for all platforms at our end of season draw / presso night.

As always, drivers will have to race 4/7 rounds to be eligible, and stay within ROOZ rules and regs off track.
As a show of support to our sponsors if you can run a SELBY logo on your livery, generally as a window banner that would be much appreciated. Anything we can do to help support the sponsors that help us is a small return.

Ill flick some season liveries through to Shaun for him to have a look at. As a former ROOZER im sure he would appreciate seeing some of the cars you come up with.
Good luck for the season guys, i hope you have a cracker and thanks for your ongoing support

SEASON 8 QUALIFYING NIGHT
-Alsace - Village
-Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit
-Autodrome Lago Maggiore - East End
15 min Qualifying Sessions - All Preset Weather S01, Afternoon, Equal Conditions On
0x Tire Wear, All other settings same as listed in OP

WELCOME to Season 8 for Gran Turismo 7!!
As always please take a couple minutes 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:
Room captains may have practice rooms open beforehand but should have the official room up by 7:30pm AEDT. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread know 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.

SIGHT ISSUES:
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. Type the number of cars you can see in the lobby chat and cross check with other drivers to ensure clarity.

QUALIFYING : 8pm AEDT for 15 mins.
Feel free to run practice laps prior to qualifying, The host will trigger a 'Room Reset' closer to the commencement of Qualifying.

PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING

LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS:
This is up to the room host/captains. If there is a Disconnection during the session, it is advised for the Host/Captain to wait for that driver before commencing the next event. Please be as reasonable as you can with this. If the driver does not wish to return or is unable, if they could please let the PSN chat know at nearest convenience, it would be greatly appreciated.

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, position or time wise.

Track Limits will not be monitored tonight due to the session settings. Please follow RaceOnOz track limit rules to ensure a fair and even chance amongst everybody while setting your laps.


CONTACT:
Is to be avoided at all times..... I'm not even going to warrant this section with a full paragraph. Do not hit eachother. If I have to be contacted about people making contact in a qualifying session I won't hesitate to hand out penalties for the season. That also goes for bump drafting which is STRICTLY PROHIBITED TONIGHT.

PIT ENTRY/EXIT LINES:
Pit Line Penalties are ON so you will be penalised in game if you cut any part of the entry or exit lines. Be mindful entering the pits that you will need to commit to coming in not long after the final corner. You may receive a penalty for misjudging your line on entry. Be mindful not to impede other cars on your way in. On pit exit, cars exiting the lane are reminded to keep drivers right if there are any cars approaching, you will have to give them space.

BLUE FLAGS:
There will be no Blue Flags in use tonight so please use your mirrors and be aware of cars around you. You are not obliged to move out of the way for anyone if you are on a hot lap, but please if you are not on a hot lap, be courteous and respectful to those who may be on a hot lap.

STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS:
This season, the Head Steward will be @Viperzed. There will be no official protests for the qualifying round however if you believe an incident needs to be addressed, don't be afraid to teach out and ask the question.
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.

PARKING UP:
If you are unable to continue for any reason, please either enter the pits manually or warp to pits via the Options menu. 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. Please make sure you screenshot your session best times PRIOR to leaving the track.

ATTENDANCE:
Could all drivers please inform Room Captains or make a post on the division thread if they do not intend on attending tonight. Room Captains/ Lobby Hosts are advised not to wait for anyone who has not communicated their intentions. If you do not post in your room thread or psn chat that you cannot attend, a spot may not be held for you for the following week's event.

Qualifying Specific
Each circuit will have a short practice session followed by a 15 min qualifying session in which lap times and optimal lap times will be monitored in order to ensure our divisions are as close as possible! In order to do this, Drivers are to screenshot their Session Best tab in the HUD to record their best lap time as well as optimal lap time. These times can then be sent to the Division PSN chat where they will be recorded by admin and used to finalise our divisions.

For this reason, drivers are advised to avoid slipstream where possible as it will unfairly lower your optimal lap time and potentially increase your risk of being put in a division that does not match your ability in this car.

I will add as well, We know neither this system or our old one are pefect. Mistakes will be made, we are only human! If you feel you are placed in the wrong division and will be better suited in a higher or lower div, please say so and we will take your input into consideration. Divs will not be final until next weekend so there is time to change around.
