    Round 2: 21/05 - Nurburgring 24h - 5 Laps - Custom Weather - Afternoon - 20x

    [​IMG]
    WELCOME to Season 5 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 AEST for 15 mins.
    Feel free to run practice laps prior to qualifying, The host will trigger a 'Room Reset' closer to the commencement of Qualifying.
    Being a longer lap than usual, Nurburgring will include a 15 minute session with drivers only having time for one flying lap. Please keep this in mind when spacing yourself out on track, there is no need for drivers to be even near eachother during a qualifying session around the Nordschleiffe!

    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 generally across the entire circuit

    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 that the car will be often be pulled towards drivers left when you are first given control after exiting the pits, practice this to avoid cutting the line and/or impeding any drivers on circuit.

    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 - Nurburgring 24H

    How fitting that we run the Nurb24H round on the same weekend as the real life race itself! I encourage you all to tune in at some stage on the weekend to watch some of the greatest GT drivers in the world do battle for 24 Hours on one of the greatest circuits.

    Real life aside, "The Ring" is a daunting piece of tarmac that can easily catch out even the most experienced of drivers. For 25km you will navigate twisting turns through the German hillside, at times, the easiest of bends, leading to some of the trickiest corners. Ensure you do your homework this round and memorise what you can of the 25 378m layout, it will bite you otherwise.

    Keep in mind that it is still on random weather, and we have a night cycle for this round! Keep a keen eye on your radar and trust your instincts when it comes to the downpours. I will allow that at Room Captain's discresion, Any freak weather events that affect the ENTIRE FIELD, may result in a Red Flag with the restart occuring in order of the last sector completed by the ENTIRE FIELD.

    Wow. Just WOW.
    I truly didn't expect a podium, let alone pole..
    While the gap was bigger than I wanted, it kept @groover33 honest, which is just as good.
    Congratulations Groover, faultless race.

    Didn't practice enough, and was expecting weather too.
    Three off track excursions as I just wasn't in the groove tonight.
    I still stand by this being a poor track selection for this car, but it's over now at least!

    I practiced for this one as it is very difficult without practice, still had about three offs myself so practice didn't really help me.

    I had an awesome race last night with @Matthyus close on my tail the whole race. He done an awesome lap which put him on pole position so I knew I had to get a good start to get the move done into the first corner or it would have been to hard to pass him during the race. I got the move done but he stayed with me right up until we pitted lap 3 then when I came out I was about 7 seconds ahead. I just had to concentrate on not making any mistakes otherwise he would have been all over me until the flag. Good race mate @Matthyus

    I'm never confident going into a round at the ring, but my target is to avoid spinning off.

    Qualifying went ok lining up 4th.
    Started without incidents and the 3 in front started to gap me from the get go.
    @dunamotornz was hot on my heels heading into Aremberg but crashed to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately for him, this happened again on another lap too

    By the time he caught up again, it was time to pit and he had used a lot more fuel so the gap opened up again.
    On the 2nd last lap, @Ian Cannan had spun ahead prior to the Karussell, and unghosted on the apex. I went around and outside and almost lost it as the rears spun up.
    As expected, Ian was then all over me and as we approached the Dottinger, he pulled alongside on the outside of the prior corner and through the corner we made contact.
    I started to wait, but he told me to continue. By this stage dunamotornz and @leeboy910 had driven past, and I was fuming! (mainly at myself for having an incident after keeping it clean up until that stage)

    This caused me to push hard to catch leeboy and leave Ian behind (although his lap older tyres probably didn't help).
    I caught leeboy and unfortunately for him, he lost the rear at schwalbenschwanz. I set my sites on dunamotornz and was just out of the slipstream on the back straight but still closing. I had the slipstream out of the final corner but it wasn't enough and so I finished where I started in 4th

    I just kept making silly mistakes, was right in Mattys wheel tracks in qualifying and was gaining here and there then coming down the hill at phazgaarfen hit the kerb and spun it which cost me like 5secs as went round pretty quickly then went off at teirgaten.

    then in the race every time I caught hayfield that pink car just made me do dumb :):):):) and go off or hit the wall, so although not ideal to profit off of whizz and hats coming together I manage to sneak away with a podium

    TRACK SPECIFIC - Watkins Glen Long Course

    Watkins Glen is a North American icon, featuring some challenging corners and ideal passing opportunities. Drivers are reminded for this round that the kerbs are free real estate however pushing your car all 4 wheels over the kerbs will result in a penalty.

    This is the first circuit we travel to this season that cannot be rain affected, so enjoy the grip!
