The First Turn Rule - It is the policy of this league 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. 4) 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.
Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to effectively avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers who are being careful and doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. You can not win the race on the 1st turn or even the 1st lap. 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 incidents. 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 on the low side. The trailing driver must also have gained at least a half a car length lead before braking begins so the leading driver can see his position and avoid contact.
Mics During Racing
From the beginning of the race, until the last driver crosses the finish line, your mic should be on mute. This allows all racers to concentrate on their driving to the fullest. You may unmute to tell a driver your track position if racing in close proximity. If a racer is on mic by mistake, please feel free to say "Mic Check" to remind all racers to check.
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. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Gentleman Rule
In 2 Situations the Gentleman Rule Can apply, first off, when racing with a group of racers around you, and hitting someone off track, you are at fault, you must give their position back and wait up for them, even if it requires losing positions. Second off, When going off track, and cars are around you, the on track cars have the right of way, and when it's the correct time, please cautiously return to track when it's safe too, even if it requires to brake or let off the gas pedal to allow on track racers past you. Failing to follow the Gentleman Rule, and getting a race complaint against you will lead to Stewards Penalizing you for not following the rule. The Basic Saying is, when you make a mistake, you are at fault and be a Gentleman about it. We do not want to be saying to everyone week by week that you cant go off track or push someone off track. We all make mistakes on track sometimes weather hitting someone off track, or going off track, but when happening, be a Gentleman about it. To Apply The Gentleman rule towards yourself, another gentleman way to penalized yourself simply by letting off the gas pedal for roughly 3-5 Seconds. This way no ground is gained. Please Know that Turtle Racing League Does NOT take penalty's very serious, we are all here to have a blast racing together. For the most part the first couple of times we will talk to you about what happened and make sure it does Not happen again. We all make mistakes off and on track, and we want to turn your mistakes into successful Racing by knowing not to do that again.

Really struggled tonight running without FFB, was going good in the rocket till I span a few times. I'm going to try do the enduro with 10 or 20 ffb on cause thats what I have been using to practice and it helps a lot even with my wheel being faulty.
Just out of interest, how many guys use a clutch and heel-toe, cause I was watching pedal inputs on replays and seems some of you are pretty good at it

Sorry for the disconnect in race 3 last night... Apparently I put my power strip too close to my pedals, and while adjusting in my seat heading down the far straight I clicked the off switch with my left foot 
With everything having to come back up (modem and router included) I figured that that was a decent enough time to call it a night.
I need to stop trying to come up with new setups and just stick with what I know works until I can actually buy one

Right, I'm sure that's what happened...Sorry for the disconnect in race 3 last night... Apparently I put my power strip too close to my pedals, and while adjusting in my seat heading down the far straight I clicked the off switch with my left foot
Unfortunately for me, I got disconnected right after qualifying ended before the first race, then disconnected about 10 or so laps into the second race while running 2nd. I finally made it through the third race without getting disconnected...but that may be because so few people were around for the finish. There were only 3 of us still running when the race ended, and one sitting in the pits. I saw lots and lots of spins.
A couple of guys MAY have been disconnected, but I think most dropped out because that X-Bow is a beast and tough to tame.I'll try to get you the results from race 3 for you tomorrow, Phish. The finishing order of those still in the race will be easy enough. But I'll have to pay attention to when all the other racers dropped out in the replay and where to place everybody overall.
Here's to hoping for a better connection (do you hear us, PD??? or are you just ignoring the entirety of GT Planet and everyone else?) for next week's races and good, close, fun racing. 👍
