I'm worried about the connexion problem I have with PrzemeczekPL. I can't see him and he can't see me. Other drivers may be in trouble if they're close to Prz and me because of that. I have tried to clean cache and to reset my router but it's useless.

Turn 1 in the first lap was strange. A huge gap appeared between the top 4 and the rest. Was that problem related to the T1 chaos?

PD: Last race I lost the connexion after finishing the Q and the R. I couldn't save any replays. I hope it will be solved for the next race...

Look into other internet providers. They may provide better speeds & higher NAT values

I'm totally down for that... could stand a little tutelage from a much faster driver. This was my first championship race. I didn't do very well but I had a blast. I'm up for the challenge of improving my skills to be more competitive. It would only make racing more enjoyable... for everyone.

Good race yesterday guys!

Ollie, JoWildes quit. Are you still up for being my teammate?

Great race, I am only sorry that I hit UA lap 1 or he'd be battling me instead of having a quiet second half of the race for both of us... sorry mate, I couldn't see D1 lose traction and block your path and I had already committed to accelerate - I tried to wait but you had hit the wall by then...

And I was in good company - along with Aug and Immortal - when I hit the tyre barrier at the pit entrance!

No sweat arty. I know it wasn't on purpose...agro will have final say on wether it's a warning or penalty. I can't marshal my own incidents of course:D
 
Fuji so far low 16s from ISD and CB on a fast lap... I think I recall Evo hitting high 14s and Agro 15s last time we did a practice... for sure last time I was here I did mid 15s but now my fastest is 16.6.

I did a 1:15,4 but it was an offline practice with no tyre consumption

I don't understand why I have a penalty. What incident? The UA one? If it is I accept a penalty.

But the race was full of incidents and to single out two drivers just seems like targeted punishment... And a grid penalty instead of a time penalty, I don't understand that logic either. I lost UA maybe 15 seconds. Why is UA not penalised for messaging during the race with some foul language, or for blocking Prz who spun off as a result, and came together with me as a he tried to recover? Then there is Immortal on Evo turn 2 which was far worse than my incident, in a corner that is deadly and in the first lap of the race could have caused chaos. I would not be happy if I were Evo and that incident and L1 T6 went unpunished.

I lost UA maybe 15 seconds, it is not my fault I lapped him twice nor is he penalised for messaging during the race with some foul language, or for blocking Prz who spun off as a result, resulting in collecting me.

Yes for the UA one. You had two incidents involving you rear ending him at L1 and L32. I do remember him typing, but I do not remember what he said as I was in the middle of my race as well.

For the incident with Przem, you and UA, I did not catch that. I would have seen it if you would have reported though.

For all drivers involved in this series, please report ANY incident you have or see even if it is minor. It makes reviewing a million times easier, more streamlined, and more accurate. I'm positive that I missed some things. So please let me know after the races ANY incidents you think should be reviewed.
 
L32, I don't remember that at all, was he being lapped and did not give way as expected of him? I am going to look and if I am being penalised for something petty then I will report every petty incident and expect action taken.

In addition, you said a time penalty wasn't appropriate because no one was with a minute of me. Well by F1 rules that is unfair, incidents in the race are added a time penalty and if no one is with that time penalty then they keep the position. The penalty does not go to the next race, especially when the driver shows good will and slows down, losing a place or two in the process.

Drivers being lapped are supposed to give way as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Sometimes the nature of the track doesn't allow that opportunity right away. Being lapped or not, there's never any justification for "avoidable" contact. Also, multiple incidents require stiffer penalties. There was a lot of bumping & minor contact in this race. That being said, a line had to drawn between race damaging contact & minor contact. Otherwise, almost everyone would be receiving penalties. Believe me, there's no favoritism. Agro requested more volunteers to be stewards, but no one has stepped up. With Nik not present at the race, it left 2 stewards to review 38 laps for each driver, requiring many hours of replay viewing. As for my texting...agro mentioned in a previous post my texting, which was referenced as a warning. I'm sure in final penalty post it slipped his mind, but I have been warned. Sierra was warned for texting as well in previous post....I would also like to add that since drive thru penalties are not possible in GT6, some penalties must be modified.
On a happy note...I'm picking a new G29 today:D

L33 incident vs UA is UA's fault, how can you as a back marker with a car right behind you go so slow through that corner? I saw him going slow so I braked earlier and more than I do through there but he was incredibly slow and much slower than his last lap though there...

Ridiculous brake testing and blocking.

Makes me wonder what LAP 1 is about too, maybe I was blocked and brake tested there too.

No matter what the blue flag should always be respected. There could be a battle going on. And in every race track you drive there is an opportunity to go off the racing line. That is how real racing is
