**COMPLETED** SNAIL-Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge: Season 1 Champion: Rob Brown

[llNovall]

Just checking tire choices. RH - RM (is RS a option)

Lol, unfortunately no RS. Only driver designated RM or RH.


@DesertPenguin
I had you confirmed for the Vintage Porsche 911 Cup on the 24th, but I have you now noted for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge as well.

If ever not sure, go to the first post for any of my series, and go to the scores and standings tab (all shown in a spoiler tab below section 4, Penalty section). You may have to scroll to the right to get to the next event scoresheet, but it is setup shorty after the most recent event is finished. Driver names that are green are confirmed, with date and time in the notes column in the far right of the scoresheet. Sorry we'll miss ya tonight for the Lambo Event, but ill see ya tomorrow for the Blancpain Race.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Long time DP. How have you been? I saw you had a injury that prevented you from racing, hope you are healed and all is well.

Hey man, I've been good. After SNAIL I had to find other outlets for racing and ever since then and GT Sport getting more active on here things have been pretty nice.

Season 1 Schedule
Extension Vote
​

To all Drivers, Primary and Reserve:
I would like to propose a 2 race event extension for Season 1, extending the season from 10 races total to 12, and for your top 8 performances to count instead of 6.

This would carry the current season into June, allowing a month to regroup and reorganize for Season 2, and then schedule an Exhibition/Preseason Event in July. First Race Event of Season 2 would start again in late July/earlyAugust.

Proposed venues to finish out the season:
-Event #11: (New track or Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa + Miyabi)
-Event #12, Season Finale: LeMans

Please go to the link provided below to vote on extending the season or leaving it as is.

Please post "Voted" in the thread after you have made your selection.

Thanks,
II-NOVA-II

The results of this vote were strongly in favor of the 2 additional events. Of the 15 drivers who voted, 13 voted in favor/2 opposed the addition of 2 events. The schedule section has been updated to reflect the change, and we will now be counting the top 8 performances of the 12 race schedule (was 6 of 10). Thanks to everyone who afforded their opinion.

Also, in other news is thracerviewr has retired from the series to take on the challenge of Iracing. It was great racing with you and good luck.

I will not be able to do this race on Friday. I will still be in Texas.

Hopefully a reserve driver can make my number 99 car look good out there. Lol

Small Lobby Setting Change:
With the successful use of Flag Rules in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Cup and the Vintage Porsche 911 Cup, we will be utilizing this feature within this series as well.
Please observe the yellow flags as they will warn of danger or slow moving cars ahead, and blue flags if being approached by lead cars in lapping situations. Since we do not run penalties on, these flags are used just for informational purposes and do not incur in game penalty if not observed.
I would ask if you are pulling to the side to not finish a race or are finished qualifying early, to please drive to or return to the pits to avoid false yellow flags. If anyone during practice this week notices an irregularity or issuance of penalties with the penalty setting off, please notify me before Friday. Thanks, and looking forward to racing you all this Friday.

Cant wait!!! Time to sport the new livery...thanks again @llNovall it's a masterpiece!!!

I thought with flag rules on it gave penalties even if the other stuff was off?

It was that way in the past. It may not be that way now.

 

[llNovall]

We have been using flag rules since the start of the Lambo series, and it was used for the Vintage Porsche Cup with no issues of penalties being noted when passing cars under yellow. I will be testing this to be certain this week by having a car be off track, and do a drive by under yellow flag to see if it trips a penalty to be absolutely certain.

Disregard the Post above.
Had a chance to formally test flag rules with SamHain, and it was not so much the issue with penalties being assessed, but the fact that the spun/stationary vehicle ghosts when yellow flags are issued. Though this would probably help avoid an incident through a warning and ghosting, the ghosting aspect takes away from the realism effect of our races. Therefore, Flag rules will continue to be OFF for this series.

 

[SAMHAIN85]

I'm available as a reserve

 

[Moby45]

I call @SAMHAIN85 as my reserve driver for the krs Brumos Porsche. Lmao

 

[llNovall]

I'm available as a reserve

I got you on the list. You are the next Reserve on deck to cover for the next report off, or a no show on race night.

 

[Fudman420]

@llNovall what laps times have you been seeing for interlagos? Trying to decide if I'm quick enough on my wheel.

 

[llNovall]

I'm posting high 1:35's on RH. My guess is low 35's to hi 34's will be fast lap pace unless of course if Samhain finds a slot on the grid. He posted a 134.3 on rh with a tune. Hope that helps.

 

[Fudman420]

Perfect, my low was a 135.002 and I was running in the 35s for the most part.

Are this lap times online or TT?

[Fudman420]

Im going to have to change my availability to a tentative. We were forced to move to a different jobsite and it's far enough away it could be possible traffic would make me late.
