I feel my last answer didn't answer this correctly. If your pace means that you race most of your races in D2, then you'll be D2 by seasons end. However, if you find or lose pace and end up racing in higher or lower rooms more often, than your Division may change. By the end of Rd4, if you race 3 out of 4 races in Rm2, you'll stay D2. However if you end up in Rm1 or Rm3 more, we may alter it. But it is highly unlikely that there will be many more changes. On a side note, It seems that people seem to have found themselves in the divisions I placed them with a very high degree of accuracy, so I'm happy there
All Updated. All changes reflected....hopefully Divisions corrected for the few that were incorrect. Duplicate entries corrected. I completely missed someone... that's been fixed too Oh and the track names for D5 are fixed. Sorry lads.
So... there are no set divisions throughout this season as I thought it was? I thought, set divisions, rooms fluid? Going off the fluid divisions then, you wont know if you're going to be division champion until after the last race? Sorry for my confusion - what I thought was happening seems not to be, and I'm just trying to get my head around it is all.
As per my last post, the Divisions are set as they are. There 'might' be some minor tweaking, but like I said it is highly unlikely. This tweaking will only happen at the conclusion of Round 4. After that the divisions are completely locked in. IMO - I feel that most people should be in their race pace division by now. Rooms are still fluid, nothing has changed on that point. For future seasons, it might be a good idea to trust the backbone data to ensure everyone knows where they stand in terms of their division. I would like to look back at what the backend data says, vs what we end up with. I doubt we'll have much of a difference.
Thanks for spelling it out for me - basically as I had it in my head was how it is happening. Just some of the wording and such got me all confuddled lol. Much appreciated!
Thanks for answering my question mate. Being only my third race here this weekend and being in div 2 for r1 then div 1 for r2 i was a little unsure how the whole championship was calculated.
That confuddled feeling could be from my own inability to form a complete sentence or start saying 1 thing and ramble off onto something else completely, forgetting what we were talking about... This happens more than I would like to admit...
I won the D4 race last weekend and how does someone who's name I don't even remember seeing from that race get more points than me?
Yep, they were in room 3 and came 13th with a race time 57 seconds slower than yours, but that's still worth more points than 1st in room 4!
This season is a test season and the first time things have been run this way so it's a learning experience for all. Take care of the distinction between "room" and "division". The divisions are essentially set now* but the rooms are fluid depending on overall race time. Both you and StuRichards (mad_mullac) are Div 4, but after a good result in round 1 Stu was promoted to "room" 3 (but still in Div4) for round 2 so was awarded with the opportunity to earn higher points. For round 3, you have been promoted to room 3 from your good result in round 2, while Stu has been placed back in room 4 so you will earn more points this round. There's more general discussion on the new format in the thread linked below. https://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/gt-sport-season-13-fastest-laps-and-race-time.4286/
Pole is hard. And I should leave the conversation now But, pole at least as far as I know is awarded to the highest starting racer of that division, no matter the room they race in. Basically an extra incentive to get into a higher room. Does that make sense?
Yes, but that means if you get in the higher room, but get a slower qually time than someone within your division in a lower room you still get the pole point, which kinda sucks. But hey, I won't shoot the messenger....
