It says PE and not PEI? It should have clicked in my head, but i have never seen PE for PEI before. I'm Canadian yes, but i've moved too many times in my life to even consider myself a pure bred Canadian.
All the province abbreviations were shortened to two letters. Those not in school were left to fend for themselves.

I ended up having to leave on Wednesday during the practice. Sorry about that. I was so far behind anyways I don't think anyone noticed. Lol. I noticed today though that instead of running the Sports Hard tires I was just using comfort for practice. I made the change and ran a lap or two today and it made a little difference. Maybe I won't lose the pack as fast during the race tomorrow. Lol

Trying to think of the possibilities with the number of underscores there. Not sure what it could be.
By the way, this Mini Marcos is sloooow. It just chugs up through the Schumacher Esses.
I think there's going to be a lot of close pack racing, but it's really hard to pass with the speed of this car. We shall see. The best solo laps I was running were 2:44's.Edit: Closest (and what would be exciting in my book) is the Nurburgring Series. 💡 It's short one underscore though.

2- Click on Lobby
3- Check Thread for Room Number (Type in Room Number When Found)
4- Click on Lobby and Join
-Qualifying-
When Qualifying, It is Set too Race Alone, You will not See any other Turtle On track, Though the fastest lap will continue to change when another racer crosses the line with a Faster lap time. Do Not back Out of Qualifying, In GT6, there is no way to enter back in, after Qualifying has begun. Everything Will be said before the Qualifying and Race 1 Begins. Qualifying should be treated as a race, All Racers should have their mic muted too give all the racers the concentration at all times. Keep your mic muted after qualifying has ended, as it will send you right to Race 1. Every Qualifying Session will last 15 Minutes.
Policies
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. It is a matter to respect every Turtle on the track, as we are competing against each other on the track, we all must remain clean at all times. If you know you made a mistake on the track by pushing a turtle off track, please let them gain their position back. We are Turtle Racing League, and we want to be remembered as a respectful clean racer towards any racer out there. 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.
Divisions
Just a Reminder, if you didn't show up last week, we have gone to Divisions, based on skill level, speed, patience, and consistency. I have split the turtles into 2 Divisions for Tonight! Division 1 will be hosted by @scarecrow937 , and Division 2 which will be hosted by @Spliffy, and now Division 3 and Division A will be in 1 Room Together and it will be hosted by @BustedFoSho Remember when about to join, you can refer to the thread and both of us will be posting the Room Number on the thread! Have fun in your division, and Best of Luck to Every Turtle Out there!Mics During Racing

Phish, I won't be able to host this week. I've had a friend in town all week but his flight was cancelled today. We might be online gaming something, but it would be rude of me to hog the PS3 for two hours. The holidays will finally be settled down for me after he goes home so I should be full steam for Brand's Hatch. I'm excited for the new tracks coming up!
