[Hygrade B]

Please put me as a reserve, I have not attended & don't want to let the league down , I guess I have to stick with GMT racing that fits my hours. I'll just keep watching replays

What time in your time zone when the race start?

 

[Hygrade B]

The last race was set for 10pm

What time in your time zone when the race start?

The times work out as... If I am not wrong.
P1 Class Qualifying: 08:00 Clear. 1am GMT
GTE Class Qualifying: 10:00 Cloudy. 3am GMT
Warm Up/Race: 12:00 Fine Weather 5am GMT

I guess I was just happy to join & didn't look properly at the times. this is one of the few GT Leagues that not a one car make, I don't seem to enjoy everyone in the same make car all season long.
After a few bad racing in the GTS FIA events I have since started playing PC2 and enjoying it more , than GTS it's a shame PC2 doesn't have livery editor.

I understand, same as me, race at AM time is a bit exhausting

 

[Eva]

The 400km of Spain, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been postponed by a week due to personal reasons on my end. Hope to see you all there!

 

[Cobani]

Yes. All the best Eva.

Gives SCAR some extra time to shave a couple of tenths off to get into the ‘39’s.

Race Director Notes
Safety Car Incident on Lap 4 of 87: Car #43 ran wide in turn 8, hitting the gravel with two tires. Losing control, Car #43 returns from the gravel, forcing Car #22 into a spin on the grass, before being hit by Car #44 unsighted by the spinning car.
Incident on Lap 24 of 87 between Cars #5 and #17: Entering the chicane complex of turns 14 and 15, Car #17 sets up a normal approach for the chicane. Car #5 makes a last second attempt at a pass, drawing a collision as Car #5 severely impedes the line of the #17. Both cars receive damage, in which the #5 crosses the pit entry line with both left side tires on entry.
Incident on Lap 24 of 87 between Cars #6 and #44: Car #44, coming through turns 7 and 8, was in front of Cars #1 and #6. After letting the #1 pass, Car #44 cuts from the right to the left in the direct path of the #6, creating an avoidable collision and inflicting damage on both cars.
Incident on Lap 25 of 87 between Cars #6 and #44: After returning to the track from receiving repairs, Car #6 approached Car #44 coming towards turn 5. Car #44 clips the grass on the exit of turn 4, but never loses traction as the car moves suddenly from the left to right side in front of Car #6. Car #6 dives to the inside, not utilizing full braking capacity to avoid contact, ultimately missing the apex of turn 5 and creating another collision between the two competitors. Upon thorough review, it's been deemed that neither driver intended to deliberately cause a collision, but both have received penalties for dangerous driving and creating an avoidable collision.
Incident on Lap 32 of 87 between Cars #5 and #17: A mirror of the incident between the same drivers on lap 24, including a more egregious pit entry violation after the avoidable collision occurs.
Incident on Lap 73 of 87 between Cars #5 and #17: Entering the final complex of corners for the lap, Car #5 approaches Car #17 and Car #42. Going through turn 11, Car #17 makes a constant and smooth transition to the outside line. Car #5, attempting to pass both GTE cars, hits the rear of the #17, sending that competitor into the gravel with damage.
Incident on Lap 86 of 87 between Cars #6 and #24: Car #24 led Cars #4 and #6 out of turn 5, in which Car #4 passes Car #17 through turn 6. Approaching turn 7, Car #6 makes a very late attempt at a pass while Car #24 is already beginning to turn for the corner, having taken a normal line. Car #6 hits Car #24 and sends Car #24 into the gravel in a spin without inflicting mechanical damage.
Incident on Lap 87 of 87 between Cars #2 and #22: Approaching turn 9, Car #22 moves from far right to the left, forcing the #1 off track and into the wall despite having ample time to see and respond to the #1 car preparing to overtake to the left side.
