GT-Sport Supercars Next Generation Series

Great final lap move @Hatfield!

Sorry to hear @Viperzed .
It's a very delicate circuit to race in close proximity off the line for the 1st few laps until things settle. Something I struggled with also. Goodluck with the next one, hope you get back into the groove!

NG2, it was quite a challenge, being lapped by the top 4-5 I think, finding an appropriate track area to safely pull over to let faster cars past. Often resulting in me going into the sand rather than darting from side to side o the black stuff resulting in further carnage.
Good race either way! I held of @NAACS on the final lap (think he was lapping me from 5th) sorry bud but I wanted a bit of a push to see if I could keep up, probably should have let you pass so you potentially wouldn't loose 5th. I'll try not to do it again.
Chers

It seemed to be a rather eventful night over the two gen rooms last night. This series is designed to produce clean, fun and competitive racing. By the sounds of it, that didn't happen last night.

I personally saw some questionable driving standards last night but as there is no 'live' steward within the series, any issues need to be reported to be looked at. it is important that if you believe an issue warrants a protest, then please report it, as this will be the only way for the driving standards to be kept high. (via PM only.)

Just a reminder to racers as well that abuse towards any driver over party chat WILL NOT be tolerated. I heard a few instances over chat last night that was not on, regardless of the situation.

Cheers.

I had a shocker of a race. Damage from an out of control car going across the track 500 m from the start line. My mojo just wasnt there last night. Rookie mistake put rm on 2 times not realising my mistake watched ab leave me for dust. After pitting again it was 2 late. Well done to the podium

Was fun, highlight was veering into the pit straight wall and giving myself damage hahaha, bop was a little odd probably needs a mid week twang bringing things together closing the gap on divisional ballasts ect

Blue flags were ignored every time which is really annoying with damage on

But damn I really like Laguna proper drivers track

Put the car on light and easy and stun the field

What a night

Personally, I had a pretty good race - kept clean throughout 98% of it. I wasn't feeling the groove on Wednesday night when I was kicking some laps around, and I wasn't feeling very confident going into the race. Doing the qualifying, and almost screwing up each hot lap I had out there - through no fault of anyone else lol. It wasn't until my last hot lap I finally got a good(sh) time and getting into 9th - this being said, 1.3 seconds separated 1st to last - so a close field.

Keeping my nose clean, I managed to get up the field pretty quickly, often sitting in the top 5 throughout the race. Though in saying that, I was gifted quite a few spots by unfortunate racing incidents happening further up. Didn't have too much of a strat planned as all practice races we had were 3-5 laps haha. But got 8 laps on Softs, then the rest of the tank on meds and two 7 lap stints on softs kept me afloat in the top part of the field. Coming into the last few laps was awesome, I had Feccles right behind me, and I was catching Ursine on fresher tyres. I was sweating pretty hard at this time, very nerve wracking with someone sitting right behind ya, but still catching the guy in front. Alas on the last left turn going on to the straight someone missed his braking point and turned me around. Was an accident I could see, and he waited up for me. This giving me rear wing and right rear tyre damage I nursed it through the rest of the race (only 3 laps to go), and managed a P5 - so still went up the field so was quite happy with my performance.

Congrats to Hatfield for the win, last to first is a great feat - also to CaptainRisky who had the race under control from very early on.

Cheers for the night all, looking forward to catching you all on track - and well... going to be a drizzly wet race coming up... eek, good luck to all with that one! (do we have a drop round? )

Lol, well that shows me for not checking, and only going off what others said last night lol - to Maggiore it is!

That's it! I've had it with you

Yep, I will be putting up a post closer to the race addressing these plus other items.

Round 6 Stewards Report:

Last round unfortunately produced some poor driving standards not usually seen in this championship. So we remind drivers to race hard, but fair. These are long races and strategy plays a big part. You rarely win a race in the first few laps.

Protest 1:
Cars involved: #00 and #46
Incident: Unsafe pass.
Decision: No action.
Notes: Car #46 was up passed the B pillar, slight contact made and GT physics compounded the contact, unfortunately.

Protest 2:
Cars Involved: NG2 Room Host,#66 and #99
Incident: Racing under prescribed weight
Decision: No action.
Notes: Room host and #66 have been unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that car #99 ran below weight. #99 states he ran at 1352kg and only changed to 1131kg after the race as to do a time comparison against car #075 (Room winner.). The driver running car #99 for that round runs in the top divisions within ROOZ, as such, we can not see him running at such a low weight and not fighting for, if not easily winning the round.

Protest 3:
Cars Involved: #464 and #69
Incident: Unsafe pass.
Decision: Points Penalty to Car #69 (see below)
Notes: Car #69 late braked into turn 1 causing a collision with #464. Whilst the initial hit was negligible, the following action of continuous bumping through the corner to take the position with no redress warrants a penalty.

Protest 4:
Cars Involved: #56 and #69
Incident: Unsafe pass/Dangerous driving.
Decision: Points Penalty to Car #69 (see below)
Notes: Very much a carbon copy on protest 3 Car #69 late braked into turn 1 almost causing a collision with #56. Car #56 had to take evasive action to avoid a large collision, with the high possibility of ruining both drivers races.

As protest 3 and 4 involved the same car, points penalty has been combined.
Penalty to #69: -15 championship points and a driver standards warning. Further indiscretions from driver/car #69 within the remainder of the championship could result in disqualification.

Other notes:
The following 2 teams have had 10 points deducted from there championship points for a repeated failure to appear on the grid.
#14 APEX Racing TRT
# 9 APEX Racing TRT

Updated championship points will be released soon.

Regards,
Stewards.
