Attention Drivers
***Vote Needed***​

This is a vote to implement the same Re-Grouping Caution/Yellow Flag process that has been successfully used in the Snail Gr4-Michelin Pilot Cup Challenge series for the remainder of the Snail Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge series or leave the series as it is without Cautions. Keep in mind, while this does afford drivers of an incident the opportunity to get back to the field and continue to race for positions rather than just race and finish solo, it does shake up the field on the restart. Please review the process details and requirements to issue a Caution shown below:

Spoiler: Caution/Yellow Flag Procedures and Rules

Yellow Flag/Cautions Process
Since this series is a (2) 40 minute race format, we will be instituting a "Called Caution/Yellow Flag" feature to regroup the field in the event of an incident. (1 Caution available for each Race)
The following processes and rules will apply:
1.) ALL Drivers must enter and remain in the 16 driver party chat whether they have a Mic or not. (Chat audio will come through your monitor/tv for those without a headset.)
2.) Mics must be muted at all times, Except:
a.) When a driver verbally requests a caution/yellow flag, or
b.) When the Host/Race Director grants and calls the "Full Course Caution", or directions during Caution (Green this lap, etc)
*NO OTHER VERBAL CONVERSATION IS ALLOWED DURING THE RACE*
3.) Drivers should continue racing until the Host/Race Director verbally calls out:
"Full Course Caution"
4.) Single Car accidents or "off-tracks" are not permitted to request a Caution at any time. (This can be cause for distraction and will be met with a penalty assessed post race)
5.) At least (2) Drivers of any size incident must request a Caution for it to be issued.
6.) ALL drivers must slow to 65-70 mph, single file, and avoid any contact with other cars.
7.) A maximum of (1) Cautions/Yellow Flags per Race will be afforded. (If there are incidents after a caution was granted, we will stay Green Flag.)
8.) NO PIT STOP. This is a regrouping caution only.
9.) The Caution period will be the remainder of the lap when the Caution was granted and 1 complete lap.

How to Call for a Caution:
(At least (2) Drivers of any size incident must request a Caution for it to be issued.)
1.) Verbally over Mic, say: "Caution Requested, by (your name)"
OR:
if No Mic, text in the chat box: "cr" or "Caution"
(If no response from the Host/Race Director within 10 seconds, request again)
2.) Host/Race Director will respond:
"Full Course Caution" when acknowledged.
(Drivers should continue to race until the Caution is acknowledged and issued)

Play by Play Process during a "Full Course Caution"
Once "Full Course Caution" is called:
1.) The Overall race leader becomes our pace car and is to gently slow to 65-70 mph, with all drivers catching up and slowing to the 65-70 mph pace speed, single file and in the position they were in when the Caution was issued
2.) Overall Race Leader is to pace the field for the remainder of the lap when the Caution was issued and 1 complete lap.
3.) All drivers are expected to be grouped up by the start of the final sector during the complete lap.
(Race Director will announce "Track Green at Starting Line"
4.) At the end of the "complete" lap, exiting the final corner, the leader will maintain the 65-70mph pace speed and all drivers should be ready on approach to the start/finish line.
5.) Track is back to Green Flag when the leading car clears the start/finish line.

Please reply here in the thread "For" or "Against" a Caution process for remainder of the series.

Reserve Drivers have been tagged to be included and kept up to date and are welcome to vote, however, only Primary Driver votes will count toward the 75% (12 of 16 drivers) required to implement.

Voting Deadline:
this Thursday, 10/8/20 by 5pm est.
Any drivers who do not reply by the deadline will be considered indifferent and will be marked "For".

Would be stoked for a reserve driver position at the Nurburgring. Thank you folks....

 

[MikeGrove]

My Twitch broadcast from last weekend's event at Spa. I had a great view of the action!

 

[Xradkins]

I’m giving up my seat. Have a nice day.

Open Primary spot available:
Xrad-11 of JDX Racing has withdrawn his entry from the series.
@Harry Rowley, with your event participation in Event #3, you are tied with SAMHAIN85 for participation. SAMHAIN85 has been absent from the game as of late and has requested to remain on the Reserve roster many times over, therefore the open spot is yours if your choose to accept it. I will be creating this JDX Racing livery shown below for your use which would be your specific livery for the season as a primary driver. You will be teamed up with @Bologna_Duc in his red Coca Cola Porsche.

Congratulations should you accept the seat.

 

[Bologna_Duc]

@llNovall
I will have to withdraw from the next event on the 23rd due to travel. I had actually been trying to figure out how to haul my gear just so I could do those races. However, I’m also hauling most of my tools for remodel work plus whatever the wife brings so it isn’t really practical. Look forward to making the next race.

Event #4 at Nurburgring GP, Friday, 10/23/20, 9pm est Race Event Details Post

@Budgie1120

Just tagged you fellas to have a look. Extra Reserve drivers are welcome and needed. Priority among Reserve roster goes to those who confirm their availability first on down. Team Reserve liveries are provided and issued based on the primary driver(s) reported absent for an event.
We currently have 3 primary drivers reported absent for our upcoming Event #4 at the Nurburgring GP on October 23rd, so plenty of room and opportunity if you would like to join us for the event. Reply here in the thread to formally sign up as a Reserve if interested.

 

[Rob Brown]

Well, I was practicing last night and accidentally overwrote my one of my best tunes! Phlano helped me with a new tune that got me running competitively! As far as I know, it’s bits an pieces taken from several other tunes. Maybe its name should be “Phlankenstein”. I’ll have to see if I can run the same times (mid to high 2:00) on a next practice session. Thanks Phlano! We’ll share Friday at 7:45 PM JK.

Should have left you with the non-working tune...

Was fun running short races to micro-tune to find one that works well, maybe later tonight if time allows.

It is interesting to see how ride height and frequency can affect the handling of the car.

Rob, glad your “Phlankenstein” tune is working, made for some very good racing, we are still 1.3 seconds slower than @Yugofan , whom I see getting into the 1:58's.

I broke 2:00 once but no :58’s here yet. Sounds like I got work to do. Practice lobby is open.
