    Resetting qualifying for Tsukuba was weird because it was reset when the session had basically ended and it resulted me in losing ny first place start, yes GQ wasn’t in the timing but how does that just happen unless he quit the session midway through. But apart from that, this round was better for me anywsys.

    If you had been in the party chat you will have heard GQ report that his lap times were not being recorded though he was getting sector times. Others reported that they could not see him listed in the driver list at left of screen even though he was on track. The top left driver position count showed only 8 drivers on track instead of 9.

    Clearly we had a problem that might affect the start of the race. As room host and captain I made the call to Red Flag the quali session and restart. Easier that we did that than then try to go through the manual grid procedure and figure out where he should be on the grid. Given that by the time everyone got off track and quit out, the 10mins had elapsed I elected to use a 5min quali on the restart which I announced in the room chat. No one objected so that's what we went with.

    FYI, it's worth joining the party chat even if you don't have a headset so you can hear discussion like that above.

    Hi @T F Eccles. In situations like this just ask the room host\back up to notify everyone via the room text chat. That way you know everyone will know what's happening and you don't need to worry about dealing with any fallout afterwards.
    I had this issue the second time I hosted a race.

    I did, I posted the red flag into the room chat, literally, "Red Flag - GQ not showing in timing". So we had both.

    Then why was the session restarted when it had ended?

    It hadn't ended. I called the red flag at about the 6 minute mark of the original 10min qualifying period. By the time everyone got out (i.. red X out of the session) so that qualifier/race could be cancelled the 10misn was almost up.

    Exactly the case T F Eccles and every one on the chat agreed with the call to restart with 5min to go in Qually. unfortunately sometimes someone might be disadvantaged by the call but they could always put there hand up to assist as well. and it does help to be in the party chat for race information on the fly.

    Round 3: Spa Francorchamps - 20 Laps - 16:45 Sunny - Hyundai Genesis Gr.3 (RS) - 30/1
    [​IMG]

    WELCOME to Season 18!!
    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 regulations please ask!

    ROOM OPEN :
    Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:30 AEDST. 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 AEDST for 10 mins. We are using qualifying mode this season for qualifying.
    Once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track.
    PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING
    RACE START TIME :
    8:30 AEDST (once qualifying has completed)


    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS :
    This is up to the room host/captains. 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. Before 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.

    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 someone's 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.
    The main corners to be aware of are T3-5 and T18-20.

    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 the 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.
    If you are redressing contact, please do so out of the way of other cars, off the racing line, or if there isn't much room, off track.

    TYRES : Racing Softs

    PIT ENTRY :
    Please attempt to follow the pit entry lane. Failure to do so may result in a penalty (especially in the instance another driver is affected).
    Do not cut the solid left line of the entry lane.


    PIT EXIT :
    Please attempt to follow the pit exit lane, Penalties will be adjudicated in similar fashion to Pit Entry. Please be aware of cars approaching on the straight.
    Do not cut the solid line on the left of the exit.
    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 steward will be @Hatfield. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let him 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. Stewards 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!

    PARKING UP :
    If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car.

    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.
    (ALSO IF YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE POST SAYING SO, SO THAT RESERVES CAN BE ORGANISED IN ADVANCE)
    If you do not post in your room thread or psn chat that you cannot attend, a spot may not be held for you for the following weeks race

    Firstly Congrats T F Eccles great drive.
    Was a hard sweaty run.
    Got spun at T1 L2, was redressed so no harm no foul.
    Then proceeded to work my tail off to get back up to the pointyish end.
    Great driving by all the boys, had a great time .

    Thanks @Steve Neilson, the advantage of clean air and a determination not to have any offs. I was able to consistently hit 2:20s on every lap save the opening lap. Tried my best to hit a 2:19 but I think that was the cost of being out front, no slip available. A good recovery drive by yourself, well done.

    It is complicated.
    You should submit protests to me via Private Message (top of page > inbox > new conversation)
    Also when you submit your protest, please include footage from your car and @T F Eccles car.
