GT-Sport [Completed] RaceOnOz Endurance Championship

Yup. Happy to drop it. BOP will help balance the field - should I double the penalty due to lower team numbers and big pace disparity?

When I saw the field I knew my race was against Triple J and it was only a poor tyre choice that killed me, I had some great battles with Jonesy though including one cheeky move after I passed him on the straight, he hitched a ride with Hatfield when I moved over to be lapped

Likewise I can feel @Bryan_F and @Knuckles breathing down my neck as we have by far the worst car and doubling our penalty only adds to the pain, but that's part of racing. The challenge is what makes us improve and become better drivers. I'm not in the business of giving out free passes. Either mix it with the big boys or move on. REC won't ever just be another Sunday night league "community outreach" repeat format. I'll treat everyone with the same opportunity. The racers will relish it, the wannabes will complain.

The BOP adjustment at it's biggest potential is massive. If the same team win the first three rounds they're averaging around 2.5sec down on the BOP pace of their car. And visa versa for the opposite scenario. We don't have enough teams to fully reach that potential, however if we double it SMM win the next two they're going to be around the 0.8-1.1sec down of BOP pace come Bathurst. TJR will be 0.8-1.1sec up on BOP, so potentially 2.2sec between them. If we triple it (which is well within allocation due to low team numbers) it could be as much as 3sec between those teams. If you look at race pace that evens things out a lot.

I'm very tempted to triple BOP adjustment points and reduce it to double if we fill two more team slots (plus Riskys team actually show up).

Cars fine. Untill i crash. I had fantastic long run pace. Being 3 steps behind after lap 3 was the downer. Kudos to me for doing the next 87 laps for nothing.

If you look up the definition of Martyr and it'll be a discography of your sim-racing career. Your sacrifice means everyone else (mainly only @Hatfield and @emmo46 ) scores points.

Yup. It's all part of it. Like I said, I don't really mind compromising on the structure to make it more beneficial for everyone. Just poking fun of you guys cause you're the only ones to suggest the change in points allocation and the only team to benefit from it...

I understand. As I said, poking fun. I get it and wouldn't have justified the request if I didn't see it happening again in future to others.

I'll also add here that considering the change in format and way we score teams I'm going to open up livery and number usage. Everyone is free to run their own number and team livery. I see no reason why teams need to have all the same livery car. I personally like a unified team look, but it's somewhat irrelevant now. So go nuts.
