Race 11: Road Course Daytona
Car: Dodge Challenger SRT8 TC
Laps: 25
Tires: Racing Mediums
Date: September 22, 2012
Prize: 1966 or 1967 Birthday Ticket
Rules
You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
Policies
It is the policy of this league (except Division X) for you to hold your position in turn 1 and not try to improve it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Division X drivers must observe this policy for as long as we are having mixed division races. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free.
"Rubbin"
This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league! We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.
First Turn
You are not going to win the race on the 1st corner or the 1st lap. The first turn on this track is very tight so be sure to hold your position through it. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to the turn because the straight is so long. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. However, if a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.
Procedures
Racing begins at 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific. Divisions 1 and 3 will race together in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge. Divisions 2 and A will race together in the TURTLE_Division2 lounge. The final results of each division will be separate.
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
Step 2: Reboot your PS3 before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
Pit Stops
Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.
Penalties
The corner cutting penalty system works very well on this track so we shouldn't have any issues with corner cutting.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
Microphones
Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.
Reminders
Be sure to break in your car. If you did not get a chance to break it in, you should at least change the oil.
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!

The Golden Rule of Motorsports
It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free.Rules

Thank you for inviting me to this thread and your league, Turtle. Although I won't be available to race this evening (hot date with the wife), I'm very interested in joining up with you and your crew for some good, competitive racing as well as pick-up races and tuning sessions. I would appreciate a friend request from you or one of your agents at your earliest convenience and will most likely be available tomorrow night to prepare for next week's events. I'm not sure which class that I should be in, but I'm looking forward to finding that out as well.
Good luck tonight, TRL members. See y'all soon.

Just a side note on Daytona road course..
The pit exit actually has its own lane inside turn one. It is a bit shorter than taking turn 1 but a bit tight. We should all try and use this lane to keep clear of anyone on track. It puts you nicely on the straight after turn 1. Turn 1 is tough enough without having to weave through cars coming off pit road!
Happy racing!

I was watching the Singapore F1 race, and with all the collisions and mechanical failures, it reminded me of something GT5 doesn't really have. However in a way, network disconnects sort of work the same way as mechanical failures in that most of the time they are unpredictable, and has nothing to do with how the racer is driving. So even though they are frustrating, so are mechanical failures in real races. Hamilton had the lead over vettel, but had a gearbox failure, and had to retire from the race, just like with disconnects.
Sort of a random comment, but I thought I'd share that thought
