My controller stopped working in the middle of a corner, if that was not enough, I got disconnected. I close the windows to make so no-one will here me yelling...
 
I leave space in T1 but i still get pushed out of P1 very nice, very nice. After that the race went **** i got stuck in stupid spray, when I earned my pole..
 
Well done IP on winning a pretty bizarre and tough race and unlucky Agro! I don't know whether I actually got points but I don't deserve them after that performance anyway lol
 
Provisional results for Race 8:

Note: Evo finished 3rd, down by 42.944 seconds.
 
Congratulations to all TLR and TC-Sierra95. Currently TRLs are unbeatable and Sierra is superconstant specially in difficult conditions.

Last 4 laps were horrible to me. I crashed into the last chicanne, I spun after being lapped bt Agro and I had ANOTHER crash with Evo. That costed me the 5th place.

1st of all I have to apologize to Evo for not letting him lap me before. However, he was too impatient and agressive and hit me destroying my engine. I was lucky it was on L37 and the track was 100% wet. Otherwise I could have lost another place due to that.

You lost control at T1 that wasn't my fault at all, I agree I was abit too aggressive coming out of the final corner and im sorry for that but you did ignore me for an entire lap.

Guys, not in the thread.
 
I want to know where the Drivers' Prerace Briefing Notes were. Some people were more prepared than others.

Race Room settings
Weather at race start ..........
Time .........
Time progression.........
Weather changeability ...........
Surface water at start .........

Did a room I was blocked from have the settings in question? Strange that it says that drivers should add stewards, but when stewards block drivers so we cannot even see practice rooms, something is majorly wrong.
 
Can someone also explain to me how Agro and UA got teamed together?

Rule: Teams will be split. After race 4. The teams will be made based on results. 1st with last. 2nd with the penultimate from last ect.

Agro was leading the championship by race 4 and got paired with UA who wasn't even in the bottom four.

I was paired with a person with much less points than UA.

Looks like the fix for the team championship is in.

Team rigging, private rooms, self-protecting steward decisions.

Team were formed based loosely on points. Go back and read my post when I formed the teams. It was based 90% on pace and race results. Unfortunately your teammate has missed many races. So have many others. UA has participated in every race, therefore we are leading.

It seems a revision to the drivers list must be made because many of our "full timers" are often absent.

So for the reserves, who would like a full time spot?
 
"I based it on general performance and pace" - fastest with least fastest would have put Agro with Ollie, not UA who has been performing consistently well in the points.

Agro was leading championship and below UA were: Ollie, Peir, D1, who should have been pair with Agro. And others besides.

Agro choose UA because UA scores points.

Evo (P2 at the time) gets Ollie, who scored no points and DNF's often, surely UA should have been with Evo or myself, Sierra, ISD, or others rather than Agro.

The other 10%? Was that englightened self-interest by UA and yourself? Again, UA was not in the bottom four drivers, that pairing should never have happened unless...

And Pre-race Briefings?

I'm flattered that you think I'm the fastest driver in the field, but IP, Evo, Cb, and Aug are for a fact quicker than me on a consistent basis.

Look at points and pace. I see no reason the Evo shouldn't be paired with Ollie. Or IP with Peir.

Look at results. I'm about a 3rd place finisher for most of the races. UA is usually in the bottom 4. I don't see a reason why your bringing this up. The points look like how they look because of absent drivers and not the way I paired up drivers.

As for the pre race briefing, it often is not possible to be sure what weather settings will be until race day. We play it by ear since weather forecasts are rarely accurate.

The fact is YOU should have been paired with Ollie, Peir, D1, and not UA.

You were leading the championship Race 4, ahead of Evo. Ollie, Peir, D1, Prz and at least a few others were behind UA - not only on points but on performance too.

In addition, UA is a steward and so are you, there is a conflict of interest that has become abundantly clear in recent races.

Team rigging, private rooms (so I couldn't see the settings) and dubious steward decisions, where some drivers are punished and others are let off without so much as a warning.

Bravo (Number 2).
 
:lol: Yeah you are faster too. So that makes for you, IP, Evo, Cb, and Aug who are faster than me :grumpy: Oh and Chris too.
























...but not in the rain :cool:

P.s. I'm stealing your meme.

You're making light of a serious issue. And as for rain, some of us had no idea it was going to be a fully wet race. Why would we know that when the stewards and their teammates hide in their own rooms a couple of days before the race and do not find fit to inform us of the room settings.
 
Agro = FGTA Lotus F1 Drivers' Championship Winner.

All of a sudden 'others are faster and more consistent'.
Others have not participated in all the races, and lost points.

I did not know either. I just paid attention to the surface water (50%), the rain (80%), and the weather changeability (5 times)
 
You guys missed my "in or out" post on page 13. I did say it might be a wet race. Plus you can always use the link I provided in the OP to check the weather forecast.
 
And what kind is that?

We want this to be a Non contact series, as with heavy damage, even a little nudge can lead to a huge loss of time for any abuse of this rule.

Driving penalties handed to drivers in this series will be harsh.


2. Teams will be split. After race 4. The teams will be made based on results. 1st with last. 2nd with the penultimate from last ect.

'Might be wet' is very different to room settings and a pre-race briefing, and being blocked from rooms where these settings might have been trialled is wrong.

Where do you get this from mate?
IF there has been any of these "hidden rooms" you speak of, I can assure you, they hid it from me too!

Why did you reply to this message and not this one?
