PCARS 2 - SEASON 1 - DIV 3

To ALL ROOZ DRIVERS. Yet another post regarding driving etiquette.

As a member of the stewards team, I am privy to all of the average driving here in our league, and TBH a vast majority of incidents appear to be caused by poor spacial awareness/failure to allow racing space.

All of the current League platforms have warning arrows telling you there is another driver close, and where it is in relation to you. PCars also has the option for the pit crew chief to tell you where and when a car is near you, which I personally find very helpful. I'm not sure if these assists can be turned off, but I think maybe we need to make it a rule that they should remain on.

There have been a number of instances where if just a little room was left, the attacking driver may not necessarily be able to make the pass, but at least both drivers would be able to continue on without incident. Or maybe they may have made the pass, but been on the wrong line for the turn and lost the position again.

My next point of concern is the lax attitude some people have recently shown regarding the rule about changing lines to try break a draft/block drivers. We have had a couple of borderline instances pass through the stewards group and feel it may need to be highlighted to ensure everyone is aware of what is allowed.

Directly quoting RaceOnOz Rules and Regulations 2.0:

- A lead driver (relative to other cars in proximity) may not drastically change their line in a corner in order to prevent a car behind from passing.

- A lead driver (relative to other cars in proximity) may make one tactful change of line in approaching a corner to defend their position.

- A lead driver (relative to other cars in proximity) may not swerve from side to side at any point of the track to prevent the following car from gaining the tow.

- A lead driver (relative to other cars in proximity) must maintain a straight line when driving down a straight.

Pretty straight forward stuff.

As Stu has said many a time, this is a game, there are no sheep-stations, and a good clean battle (I think) can be just as rewarding and gratifying as a win. Some courtesy towards other drivers, a bit of common sense and a better awareness of what is going on around you will make yours and your fellow racers' night much more enjoyable, and take some of the load off the stewards for stuff that should not even be an issue.

Thankyou

ok guys, just wanted to confirm that this weeks round at Catalunya WILL BE A FULL WET ROUND.

I did some testing last night with all settings and can confirm there have been some changes somewhere along the line to the way live track works and how drivable the car is in extreme wet conditions....That said the live track is unbelievable the way it works... If the patch lives up to expectation we will have a fantastic season 2.

We tried (thanks to @truss1984 @SuiCid3 @Bounty05 and @RHINO11) running all wet weather option including thunderstorm, storm and rain (heavy) and the car is more than drivable ! The track definitely evolves and driving around the puddles and standing water certainly adds another element.

Will be testing tonight to finalise exact details, but for private practice sake,
run 2 weather slots -
1. rain
2. thunderstorm
with all other date and time settings as per the previously stated regs.....Will update today as i get time in the OP

Also, if you havent already, please read ad2mnys post re driving standards.....all divs just need to be 5% better for great racing right through the field. Things are just a bit sloppy at the moment.
