Season 12 - Division 1

Tbh I think there's quite some over estimation going on with me haha. The stats don't show it but Russell was probably faster than me in at least half of the races in the HSV and when BMW practised well he was no doubt pushing me in those races. All I'm saying is that I don't think an A or B would be needed, because after warrior, every other position in the table is anyones guess. But It's up to the rest of you guys to decide whether to keep B or not. Competing in 1A is fine by me, especially after Bob and I's practise race last night (10 position changes in 2 laps and half a second separating us at the end ). Just looking forward to some good racing.

Hope he can make all the races! Forgot about his warrior beating capabilities

if u burned the world supply of p cars disks, everyone would be racing gt6 and a few of us(namely myself) wouldnt be in div1 at all. 1b is good for the minnows/stuck in a rut drivers who are not the insane freak of nature race drivers as the 1a peeps are.
besides.... 1b means nothing in terms of points for the teams champs and overall div 1 glory, just a name in a table at the top of the main page

it was most good of you to read between the lines @emmo46
That was probably my main aggravation, because a second championship with ssman224 in it is hardly a second championship at all.

I'll just end by reiterating that I hope by the time GT Sport is here that there'll be a full grid of 16 Div1 drivers. That'll definitely happen what with an influx of drivers from all manner of places and experiences.

EDIT: @holdenman05
The gap between Div2 and Div1 currently is practice. I've been saying it for years now- any Div2 driver can make a Herculean jump to Div1 if they eat, sleep and play GT6. Likewise, any Div1 driver that doesn't practice can jump into Div2 and still get podiums. Everyone in Div2 is talented and has honed their driving skill for thousands of hours. The last 5% is the slog of doing lap after lap on the same track upcoming this Sunday. It's just what you need to do...

You're very capable of getting a Div1 podium regularly @holdenman05 ; but you need to believe that you can do it. Being partitioned to Div1B only hurts your confidence.

Now that's a great idea!

After a couple of short races and a full length last night a few points have become clear about track limits. They are being abused, but mostly to run off areas to the outside. I decided to run a few laps with penalties on strong to see what the game considers being inside and the outside track limits. Interestingly no matter how wide I ran into outside run-off areas there was no penalty. However cutting chicanes and other corners was penalized. I feel it would be a policing nightmare for stewards and drivers alike to have outside run-offs and corner cutting up to scrutiny. Wide positioning for corner entry also being a factor, especially at Mulsanne Kink.
I propose that we mirror the games full penalties criteria with our track limits to prevent a possibly ridiculous protest count and prevent the race becoming a farce. This would mean outside track run offs are there to use, including area between lines and outside barriers on straights. But all chicane and corner cutting to be policed and penalized harshly. This would mirror the way the game views the track limits. The track and car seem likely to throw up close and exciting racing, and I think if we mirrored the game full penalties criteria it would promote that with far less discrepancy.

I agree that this race has the potential for a lot of corner cutting, but with respect, I disagree in regards to run-off.

I'll be looking at every single driver who finishes ahead of me to make sure they're not being flippant. If that isn't enough to keep those ahead of me between the White lines, then good luck to you because you'll probably be cutting no matter what the policing strategy. That's my personal warning to those who don't take it seriously. I've put a lot of effort into keeping between the lines and being fast. I expect those who beat me to do the same.

Hey legends,

Will be on the grid for tomorrow nights race

Also doing some practice tonight... well now if anyone is on, feel free to join

Who the bloody hell let this bloke back in here.... thought he got carted off to Europe or some weird place Edit: Have just realized what your season car is in GT6....

Hahaha thought I should represent Team Nismo

Yeah @emmo46 I'm happy dropping down to Div.2, ain't got time to practice and be competitive in Div.1.

This man calls us legends.

Dafuq??

One of the more messy races I've been a part of, I think it's definitely server based though, we never had ping pong issues like this back in the glory days. Not particularly happy but I hope it cleans up next week. I was trying to help me and warrior get back into the race by bump drafting him but I disconnected. Boo.
