You can reply to those emails with a rebuttal if you feel you are in the right.

I think you are missing the point here. It doesn’t have to be on purpose to be reportable. In fact 99% of these are not on purpose. People make mistakes. But the objective is to learn to avoid these mistakes. By getting these penalties and seeing why you were penalized will, in theory, teach you to give more space on track and be more aware of your surroundings. Race craft. And if you tap someone off track then you need to slow down and let them past.

Nice group here! I will do everything in my power to avoid contact with other's, even if that means coming in last place.

I think I am and but I’m seeing as being able to bring someone’s ranking down too and to get someone kick out. Because of this I’m on the las chance list. I have been stripped of my points for the places I took because of one person. Not very right in my opinion. Nor was I given a chance to defend myself. There is no information on defending myself in the 2 email reports I got. Can I get the the chance to defend myself on these reports and try to get off this last chance list?

Im still not going to file reports for things I can understand from other drivers. I still think it’s a last resort thing. I hope others will do the same.

Now I feel like I have a chance not to finish P:dfl


edit. Nope. Still going to finish DFL since now I'm not even racing with @Chiochansan

 

[unsteddie]

Cars ready.. didn't practice enough this week so not expecting much tonight. But I'll be there.

tyro click on the link on bowlers signature. "It's linked right here" then go to snail incident report and review. then click the link after the list of division stewards labeled "check this link" that should help you.

Do more IR get filed when driving cars that are difficult to keep pointing straight or with easier to handle combos where racing may be tighter?

 

[Chiochansan]

I think there are many more factors in play but my vote goes to difficult to keep pointed straight.

Let me say that all the replays were watched many times by all the stewards and it is unlikely that you would have been able to escape being penalized. People aren't being kicked out...unless the same mistakes keep being made week in and week out. And it doesn't matter if it's one person or many people. You know what to do if you think someone "is out to get you"? Drive fairly and with better racecraft. Give more room, concede positions when you punt them off the road, or better yet...don't punt them off the road in the first place. If you're having problems driving in close quarters, maybe back off and follow a little bit more and observe for a few weeks. Or join practice lobbies where you can try and improve your close driving skills. Don't try and win every race at all costs...how about drive around closely with some friends on a Sunday night instead of "racing".

I see that you think you were "wronged" somehow. But you need to get that chip off your shoulder and maybe watch the replays yourself of the incidents in questions first. Because this line of rhetoric isn't good for you.

I honestly like your enthusiasm here on the forum. You seem to want to be a part of the group and we want you to be a part of the group. But within the rules. Once you start getting a reputation as a clean driver then people generally won't file incidents against you...because they know you are clean. But if you get a "dirty driver" reputation then people are going to expect to be hit and will file on you every time.

I suggest you drive clean tonight. I honestly want you to drive clean tonight. Let's see if you are picking up what we are laying down

The drivers list and grid list are updated for this week's racing.

All new drivers that submitted a correct time trial have been added to the list. A few drivers have changed division so please check the list.

Slower cars grippy ish cars help. My best races online were in Miatas and the kind. In january, we had a good run with the Daihatsu VGT. On its own, it was boring to drive and sounded like a trash compactor, but it made for pretty great and clean battles on track due to it being so easy to drive. I guess we are due for a slower FWD car again.

 

[CANOWORMS1]

I agree with many of the opinions expressed here. I don't think anyones evening can be 'ruined' because an IR was filed against them. Only ones driving can ruin an evening, preferably with few, if any, other casualties. I even argued my case when an IR was filed against me. I'm not sure what influence I had, but no penalty was assessed. I saw incidents that went unreported, and I wonder if the people involved realize that what they did was against the rules.

All hosts should start at the scheduled time. The only reason to hold the start is to allow a driver who was already in the room their tthree minutes to return or to sort other connection issues.

It was nice seeing new faces on the grid, welcome to SNAIL once again !

Fun night of racing, especially the last combo. Another case of Miata is Always the Answer

After missing month of racing I was surprised too be competitive.
Great too see lobbies a lot more stable.
Also cool to see new faces in 🐌.

I enjoyed combo 1, first corner was a blast trying too carry a lot of speed.

I sure did like it too. I saw everyone taking the high line in the banked corner after the bridge and realized I had the wrong line all that time I was practicing.

I'm happy seeming you back on the grid with @IceWarden

On another note, I got one more case of extreme consistency at HSR. Take that Sophy AI.

And now, D1 photos.

 

[Saber_stance]

No D2 pics 😢

 

[Chiochansan]

Note: All drivers who are racing are eligible to file an IR against any driver in the division in which they are currently assigned weather or not they are involved in the incident.

Does this mean if I am watching a replay from a different division and I see something egregious I can't file an IR?

 

[IceWarden]

In your division. Not another division.

 

[Chiochansan]

Thanks Ice. @Saber_stance the replays are shared, why not give some photography a try?

 

[Saber_stance]

**** it I will on Wednesday thxs@Chiochansan

 

[Marcus Garvey]

You always want to drive your best anyway. The replays are searchable; you never know who may be watching. And maybe pointing and laughing with a dozen of their friends gathered round the television.

Bruh 🤣🤣
