Sorry for the delay, things have been quite busy but finalised Round 1 results are as follows:
*Total Time calculations:
Finishing on Lead Lap = Car Total Time - Leader Total Time
Finishing Laps Down = Car Total Time - Leader Time on that Lap
Disconnect = Leader Total Race Time - (Leader Time on Disconnect Lap + (Car Time on Disconnect Lap - Leader Time on Disconnect Lap))
Stewarding
Race 1
Qualifying:
Glen-Alz-81 - Warning
While qualifying isn't officially stewarded, since Glen pitted thus invalidating his second lap, he was effectively out of qualifying. In spite of this he put lots of pressure on the GORE car which was on a flying lap. Please be considerate to other drivers, if you cannot set a valid time, by all means use the practice time, but stay clear of other cars.
Race:
Lap 2 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 4 - the_proffs - TDZ-4-12-14-88 - Accident
Verdict: NFA
Lap 6 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 8 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 9 - cobra75 - P1K3y_M1K3y - Racing Incident
Verdict: Both drivers warning - This is an unfortunate combination of many factors in which both cars effectively followed the rules to the letter yet still had contact. Mikey; it is important to remember that damaged cars can react in unpredictable ways and especially in such poor visibility, it may have been worth leaving more space to increase the reaction time available. Cobra; braking for corners that are usually flat is very dangerous. On high speed sections it is often best to simply follow the normal racing line at normal speed, than try and keep right to allow a pass. If at that speed you were too damaged to remain in control, then you should have slowed on a better-sighted section rather than just after a corner.
Lap 10 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 12 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 13 - cobra75 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 14 - TDZ-4-12-14-88 - pp-123 - Racing Incident
Verdict: TDZ-4-12-14-88 Warning - While it may have been poor conditions, and there is a rule that states damaged/lapped cars should stay right; but once TDZ had gone over to the left of the circuit, since pp-123 clearly made to pass on the inside then just stick left.
Lap 17 - pp-123 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 17 - cobra75 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Race 2
LordZ1978 - Non-submissing of Incident Report
Verdict: +30s
Lap 1 - Heathenpride - Out of Starting Position
Verdict: Driving Standards 1/3 - Always remember, odds on the left, evens on the right, leaving appropriate room both in front and to the side once the 2x2 formation has been formed.
Lap 1 - Lavandel - attrapp, Heathenpride, bichu_x - Accident
Verdict: NFA - Lavandel is clearly unable to avoid the subsequent contact after the initial loss of control. To all drivers, it is important to be very aware at the start; you should be driving cautiously enough to avoid crashing but, if there is an accident ahead, you should attempt to slow down to a speed where you can avoid the car.
Lap 1 - Pluxtheduck - GTPL_Plotnik - Avoidable Contact
Verdict: Pluxtheduck +90s - Simple outbraking, it is important to remember that other cars may not be able to match your cornering speed and to leave appropriate reaction time.
Lap 1 - memto89 - FutureF1 - Racing Incident
Verdict: NFA - Future moves over to the left having cleared Plotnik leaving room on the inside and doesn't attempt to move back to the right until Memto's car is alongside.
Lap 1 - bichu_x - Dangerous Pit Entry
Verdict: Warning - Since there are no specifically described pit-in lines, only a warning will be given. However it is important that in the future cars intending to pit stay to the right-hand side of the circuit so that a) they can easily enter the pit lane without hitting the barriers and b) so that following cars can easily avoid them.
Lap 9 - LordZ1978 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 13 - attrapp - Lapping Car Proceedure
Verdict: Driving Standards 1/3 - While it is the duty of the car behind the execute a clean pass, it is equally important for the car ahead to behave in a predictable manner and either follow the racing line or clearly stay to the right as described in the driver's brief videos. Here Attrapp did neither and could have caused a significant accident.
Lap 13 - bichu_x - Rejoin Blocking
Verdict: +30s - It is always important to check both visually and on the track map to see if there are cars close behind you. If there are you must let them pass before rejoining the circuit.
Lap 14 - bichu_x - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 14 - LordZ1978 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 15 - LordZ1978 - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Race 3
Lap 1 - GTPL_Lubek7 - Out of Starting Position
Verdict: Driving Standards 1/3 - Always remember, odds on the left, evens on the right, leaving appropriate room both in front and to the side once the 2x2 formation has been formed.
Lap 1 - rcb929 - GTPL_Lubek7 - Avoidable Contact
Verdict: rcb929 +90s, Driving Standards 1/3 - Lubek was on the racing line and ahead thus had the right to the apex. Rcb slows the car in an appropriate way initially but then lifts off the brakes to try and go for the closing gap. Due to the fact that this was at the start of a 3h race with many other cars nearby this is inexcusably poor judgement.
Lap 5 - GTP_Caine - Use of pause menu glitch
Verdict: NFA - In this instance we belive that a) the car entered 'ghost mode' just after the impact with the barriers so didn't benefit and b) that it's use was entirely accidental. However, if any driver is found to be using this glitch intentionally they will have their results stripped from them and, according to the severity, may be excluded from the remainder of N24 2015. This will be the only warning.
Lap 5 - Play117 - Romisagon - Avoidable Contact
Verdict: Play117 Driving Standards 1/3 - Romi loses control of the car and doesn't regain it until he has rejoined the track, he then attempts to pull off to the right-hand side again once he has control. Play misinterprets the behaviour of Romi's car and drives into the back of him. Due to the fact that Romisagon recieved damage, and that Play had ample time to slow the car, Play recieves a DS warning since there are extenuating circumstances.
Lap 6 - Romisagon - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
Lap 7 - Play117 - Tavilha - Rejoin Blocking
Verdict: Play117 +30s, Driving Standards 2/3 - Play's car comes to a stop off circuit, but then he returns to the circuit in front of Tavilha on a high speed corner, causing Tavilha to leave the track in avoidance. It is always important to check both visually and on the track map to see if there are cars close behind you. If there are you must let them pass before rejoining the circuit.
Lap 7 - Tavilha - Pit-out Line
Verdict: +30s
