I think I've been miss understood. I only meant that while being caught up behind you I would not be able to produce the lap times that I wanted. And Luke who happens to be my brother and one of my biggest rivals was getting away. Hence the reason I was eager to get passed. Which inturn bit me in the arse. Anyways I thoroughly enjoyed the race. Thanks everyone
Would we be able to do this race 1 hour later? Just that I know a few roozers might be at the aus gp (myself included) and could be hard pressed to make it home in time for the race
HUGE thanks to PAGNIAN for providing the prize of a new GTtrack Playstation edition valued at over $1000 ! Remember you must race and complete 4 of the 7 rounds to be eligible for the PAGNIAN prize draw at seasons end. All information is here: https://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/x-platform-prize-draw-for-2019-1.3526/ ROUND 6 : Tokyo Expressway South Outer Loop - 27 laps - 18:00 Sunny - 17/3 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 regs 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 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. 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 this 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. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL AT THE TIGHT SAUSAGE KERB CHICANE TYRES : You must start on the Racing Hard Tyre. After that, one other set, of other compound tyres is allowed. (no limit on the amount of RH tyres). If you run out of fuel/tyres even after making a pitstop, you can pit a second time, however if you have already used a different set of racing tyres other than Hard, then you would need to change back onto the Hards. 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 out of the hairpin. 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 @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 ! 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.
With the Tokyo round during Melb F1GP weekend, would all starters agree to start later at 9:20pm AEDT instead of 8:20pm? Alternative is a compromise of 8:50pm AEDT. I'm in SA, so I'm fine either way. BHR @Luke prefer not GRT @Bluemoon any GRT @emmo46 any NLR @Dermott Brereton yes PRT @OZIMO-TUBBY_85 TLR @Randm90 TLR @pat65 no BHR @incey prefer not RZR @UrsineSaturn9 yes ICR @Toranafan-02 ICR @Standerdfulla SAR @aranteamo 20:50 RZR @Kephin_07 prefer 20:20, 20:50 SAR @Jayden Mills Please make sure you like Hat's post so we know who's starting. Please do reply before 8pm Sat.
I'm with Incey on this one, however, I'd prefer a bigger grid than an early start, so if it means more guys can make it let's go with the later one. Throw my official vote in for the 8:50 start
