Penalties off and permanent damage. If you're getting a free ride to the front with a boost setting you need to be punished for making stupidly aggressive moves.

Penalties were always off but idk about full damage. It's never been an issue before and there's no need for punishment of stupid moves. It's a chill series designed to learn. There's bound to be mistakes (to be learned from). No need to compound the issue with a pit stop for fixing damage. Light damage should do just fine.

... perhaps if the series would consider racing cars other than Zoom Zoom.... may spark more interest... but idea was quickly thrown away without even trying.. Zoom Zoom!

Well it wasn't my series to go and make changes. I brought it up and they explained. We were able to get the Toyobaru and Mada Roadster TC out of it so that wasn't too bad.

You don't pit stop , you sit out and ponder of your mistake so you don't repeat it. Light damage is not a penalty at all. Seeing it's a series with no stewards or repercussions for for such actions there needs to be something to keep things in check. I seem to remember a driver or drivers being kicked out of the series for aggressive careless actions. This is just an immediate response. I've always been a voice for the Sunday races to be full damage to remove careless actions

It seems you're taking this way too seriously. It's a chill session like C+M. No penalties dude.

Not a "chill session" a teaching aid , a learners series. Learning to race clean and proper. The boost helps the racer who backs out of the bad/uncomfortable situation so he or she doesn't lose the pack.

Ah, never knew that. I knew we could get a bit aggressive sometimes but we usually calmed back down by the end of the night.
It was also for those who made mistakes on their own to be able to get back to the pack and race with others.

Not to mention nailz original series was full damage but was switch, more than likely because the over aggressive complained about damage and instead of dealing with the specific cases and possibly losing the few culprits he lessened the damage.
Before I found leagues on gtplanet I actually ran a full damage boost room pretty much every night. Consistently a full room with many regulars, I occasionally got complaints from the dirty racers about the damage. They'd either quit ,shape up , or get the boot. In the end what was left was clean fun races. Only other complaint I got was the boost. I still run clean full damage rooms or when looking for a lobby that's top priority.

Fair enough. Come to think of it, we have light damage on Sunday and you only notice it when you are in an accident like spinning into a wall/barrier, or hitting another car that is slowed due to another accident of its own. Not very common. I think it'd be fine on heavy damage. I'm gonna make an experimental room tomorrow all day/night while I'm around to test other cars besides the Miata but the Miata will be the main car/car we run first on race night. It'd be Two races per track, two tracks a night. Stay at one track while changing car, and then move on.

Spa. It's going to be an exciting weekend...
Not to drone on, but if you're considering alternate cars, I think the '77 Celica is a nice option. It's a fun, stable little car that anyone can drive - not unlike the Miatas. Also maybe Toyota GT 2000s.
Friday nights are also generally a good night for happy hour. I think we should swing the focus back to Mondays and Tuesday nights. Also Fridays most people are focusing on the combos..

Interesting bit of information: Friday nights have generally been a good place to find decent, well mannered, open lobbies on Project Cars. Tonight there seemed to be about half as many lobbies, and lobbies were about half as full. Seems the Europeans are busy with Assetto Corsa this weekend.

IMSA Race Weekend at Virginia Intl Raceway. Continental Race right now and Porsche GT3 Cup after. Then dinner. I guess I didn't mean all day/night heh. I'll be on tonight to beat around if you wanna join.

See a lot of? No. Mostly GT3 on PCars open lobbies.
I usually find something different though. Group A, Group 4, Indy. If there's nothing but GT3 I'll join for one or two races. Usually there's a group of regulars that get together and we try to race different cars. Trans Am has been fun lately. We'll also bust out the classic Lotus race cars every now and then... The type 40 Ford... Oh that's a handful! But, like I said, some of those regulars have now gone to the even darker side. Too many sims, too few clean drivers.
