    I had a good time last night also. Mostly uneventful as far as crashing goes.
    1 Stuff up early on and 2 in the last 2 laps. One of them, my TV went black.
    I was trying to hold off Bignorm. He was about 10 seconds behind with about 5 laps to go.
    He was gaining on me so even without those 2 accidents, I'm not confident I could've held him off. My best chance was for the top guys to finish about 1 minute earlier and cut the race off. Ha.

    Qualified 7th
    finished 6th.
    Best Lap 2:04.???

    Update 1.17 out now, it' s~2.1Gb, takes longer to download than install (on a PS5 at least). Get it done prior to Sunday I suppose.

    Looks like Room settings can be changed now after a room has been created.

    Room settings can now be changed after the room has been opened
    Also there is a new setting which is the refueling rate. The default is 3L/s

    In controller options you can also adjust the deadzone and travel of your pedals (which can help people who have pedals that show input when not being pressed or that you have trouble pressing down all the way)

    Looks like there is also a horn button you can map for road cars

    Round 6: Deep Forest - C01 Cloudy and Bright - Sunset - 28 Laps - 26/6
    [​IMG]
    WELCOME to Season 1 for Gran Turismo 7!!
    As always please take a couple minutes 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 :
    Room captains may have practice rooms open beforehand but should have the official room up by 7:45pm AEST. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread know 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 AEST for 10 mins.
    Thanks to the latest update, we are now able to change lobby settings after lobby creation, therefore in theory, we should be able to run practice laps prior to qualifying and have the room up at a standard time. Room Captains please test this to ensure your qualifying isn't skewed.

    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 AEST

    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 would suggest only having 1 restart if required due to DSC, due to having to set up the room from scratch and also having to set timed laps in order to set the grid. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....

    SIGHT ISSUES:
    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.Type the number of cars you can see in the lobby chat and cross check with other drivers to ensure clarity.

    TURN 1 LAP 1 :
    The old saying goes, you can’t win the race on lap 1, but you can definitely lose it. Please be mindful of other drivers on lap 1 coming into turn 1, and for that matter, the entire race. It can be very demoralizing to hot lap on your own for 45 minutes as I'm sure many of you are aware.

    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, position or time wise. Track Limits protests may be launched by any active driver in the race.

    CONTACT :
    Is to be avoided at all times..... If you make contact with someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Occasionally, Gran Turismo track limits may teleport a disadvantaged driver backwards on circuit to ‘reset’ them, if this occurs at the hand of another driver, IT IS EXPECTED that the driver at fault will wait and redress the position.
    Side by side 'rubbing' is racing is allowed and promoted within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room. For clarity surrounding racing room, please feel free to PM @Viperzed
    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.

    PIT ENTRY/EXIT LINES :
    Pit Line Penalties are on so you will be penalised in game if you cut any part of the entry or exit lines. Please be aware of cars entering T1.

    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 @Viperzed. 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. Quitting off track results in a sometimes race ending lag spike and may be punished in extreme scenarios.

    ATTENDANCE:
    Could all drivers please inform Room Captains or make a post on the division thread if they do not intend on racing on Sunday night, Room Captains/ Lobby Hosts are advised not to wait for anyone who has not communicated their intentions. 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

    TRACK SPECIFIC - DEEP FOREST:
    Another classic GT location, Deep Forest offers some sublime overtaking opportunities around the slightly altered circuit. Care should be taken in sector 1 around the tunnel section, it is one line all the way and an overtaking manoeuvre attempted through there is ambitious at best. Track limits will again be monitored as per RaceOnOz regs, 2 wheels on kerb or white line, whatever is further out.

    STATE OF ORIGIN:
    We understand that this event clashes with the State Of Origin game on Sunday night, should anyone wish to postpone their div and push it back a week, please have a discussion with your room captain and come to a conclusion to meets everyones needs. Majority rules.

    @Hatfield Just wondering why the late additions into div 4?
    Surely with only 2 rounds left, if they've been a part of div 3 for majority/all the season, would it not be better to leave them there and just shift them next season?

    Not against more racers being in Div 4, just wondering.

    It is a squeeze down from div 1. A lot of div 1 have quit and those remaining will be racing with div 2. Drivers have been shuffled down to make room.

    Thanks for the clarification. After my post I noticed some shuffling of the higher divs, so makes sense.
    Was a good race last night.
    Whilst I wasn't able to get down to the times that Fezza did, I was able to do a number of 1:37's and even squeezed out a few 1:36 lap times. Seems like I can get some good pace going in most of these races, however my inconsistency (lack of practice/experience) and my mental needs some work.
    I find if I make an error/crash my momentum is gone for a bit and quite often I make another mistake or two before getting back into the zone.

    Feel sorry for GQ after mistaking me for someone faster and allowing me to sneak through there 2 corners before the finish. Thought about redressing and letting you back through as I felt like I didn't deserve to finish anything but last, last night after some of the messy laps I did but I figured racing's racing :p Btw, thanks Fezza for showing me around for a little there toward the end. I do enjoy following some of you faster guys to learn lines, braking points and see if I can keep up, it's always fun!

    Also well done to Norm,you run a very tight race mate. Crazy consistent there. I'd gain slightly, lose you slightly and back and forth until I kept making mistakes trying to close the gap and ultimately spun.

    @Easyprey007 .... yeah mate I was surprised when you did the redress as I did not think it was an issue and you got passed me a lap or so later. Was a good race but I stuffed up the pits or feel like I did with too much fuel which was probably a gain for @Blunty075 in getting track position and a solid 2nd place. Well done to @fezza for the win and looks like it was good racing again throughout the field, well done Div 4 here's to the next one.

    I had a ball last.
    I jumped on a couple of hours early and practiced a bit because it was going to be my 1st race using manual. Not including gt sport daily race a where I've been using manual so I can get the online trophies. I'm driving a Tundra, so that experience doesn't really translate to league racing.
    In the practice, I got a 1:36. Someone else did 1:32 from memory. I couldn't replicate a 1:36 in qualifying so I started in 8th.
    I got into 5th after a pile up of some sort on lap 1and that was it. 5th all the way.
    BigNorm was piling on the pressure the whole race. I had 16 seconds on him and over the course of maybe 15 laps, he'd narrowed it down to 7 seconds. Watching the time slowly dwindle away was stressful. I didn't think I'd be able hold him off for the rest of the race. After my pit on lap 20, I did multiple 136's in a row and beat him by 15 seconds.
    I am overjoyed with my race. I didn't make contact with a single wall, no spin outs and no contact with a car.

    I didn't see 4th place in front of me or 6th place in my rear view the whole time. I was purely racing against time and my own nerves.
    Congrats to all.

    TRACK SPECIFIC - DAYTONA ROAD COURSE:
    A classic that is synonymous with GT Racing and turning left, Daytona offers a multitude of passing opportunities and long straights to keep the pack close. Be patient when considering your passing opportunities, T1 had an enormous elevation and road change mid braking zone which can unsettle a car easily. The bus stop chicane (T9 & T10) will be monitored for track limits.

    RETRO LIVERIES
    Everyone get your retro liveries out this weekend! IMSA, NASCAR and Toyota liveries will go a charm here!
