    Does RS and RM Required mean that RM is a must and RS is optional or both are Required?
    Pits closed during Qually?
    Are we able to start on a different tyre to Qual?

    Both tyres will be mandatory to be used for at least one lap. Will get back to you on the other two questions

    Outlap and in is ok as it will satisfy the game's built in requirements for tyre usage

    Can you change tyre compounds between qualifying and race? Meaning, does the game allow it?
    I assume it would, but can't remember ever trying LOL

    I believe it does, Currently we allow a tire change in the rules, If GT gives us any issues we may change that.

    It's why I asked.
    I'd rather have strategy options available, instead of 1 strat.

    Round 1: Dragon Trail Gardens - Custom Weather - Sunrise 8x - 27 Laps - 19/02 [RS and Wet Compounds ONLY]

    [​IMG]



    WELCOME to Season 4 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.

    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.


    QUALIFYING : 8:00 pm AEDT for 10 mins.
    Feel free to run practice laps prior to qualifying, The host will trigger a 'Room Reset' closer to the commencement of Qualifying.
    Once 10 mins of session time has elapsed, finish the lap you are on and stop the car off the circuit somewhere near the start of the lap.

    PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING

    RACE START TIME : 8:10 AEDT

    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....


    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.

    Track Limits will be monitored at Turns 3, 4 and 8-14.

    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, Stay hard left.

    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 Head 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 may ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captains 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 - Dragon Trail Gardens

    Seaside's ugly step sister, Gardens provides it's own unique challenges in the form of awkward kerbs and tesco level corners. Be mindful of your car positioning through 3 and 4, you ideally want the sosij kerb going directly under the car, but beware track limits! Cars found to leave the track anywhere at turns 8-14 should be aware that they must re enter safely otherwise the Stewards may investigate any disadvantaged cars in the process.

    The tire allocation for this round is RS, with IM AND W available in the case of a shower.

    Hi Div 2.
    Not sure if anyone else had this issue during the MnG on Sunday but I noticed that when getting close to another car it would stutter lag, some cars were worse than others. I thought getting a PS5 would fix the problem but it hasn't, the stutter lag wasn't as bad as it was on PS4 but I still started to get motion sickness from it.
    I've cleared my cache etc and have good internet. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix the stutter lag?

    It's a tricky one. Sometimes the lag is the other person, sometimes it's you, but from your own perspective it looks like the other person, hence why it's tricky.

    The following will help, but there's no guarantee. Where you can, use a wired connection to the PS5.
    Check your PS5 NAT type.
    Go to Settings > Network. Find the Connection Status tab then View Connection Status. Scroll down until you find the NAT Type field. Type 1 or 2 is best.

    If you've got Type 3, you'll need to set up port forwarding on your router. Set a fixed IP address for the PS5 in your router. Then you'll want to forward TCP ports 1935,3478-3480 and UDP ports 3074,3478-3479 to your PS5's IP address.

    I've also found setting the PS5's primary DNS server to 1.1.1.1 and the secondary to my ISP's DNS server address helpful.
