CRAP Casual Evening Events

Big Thanks Guys, probably best races i have ever had on gt5 were last night. iv'e never really stayed in a pack like that lap after lap, i dont care about winning (at momment lol) just as long as i am competing with someone on the track and improving, i could hardly sleep after it because it was so intense just trying to keep up and not hit people, loved it.
 
I would encourage anyone reading this who like me struggled to find a group where they could compete or build their skill without being blasted for being rubbish, to try out this group, i found it very friendly, good fun and understanding.
i have no doubts that after a few weeks racing with you guys it will really increase my skill.
 
big thanks to badger, john, phisher and everyone else last night.
and sorry for being over ambitious at times, i was getting over excited with the fact i was keeping up, this will improve when i get used to it, honest

RESTART PROCEDURES: As per the Enduro rules.

Track Specific Penalties: None.

EDIT:

Amendment to OP:

PROBLEM: The entry to the Oaklands Park pit lane has the potential to cause some grief. It is on the inside of the straight IMMEDIATELY after the full speed final turn into the straight.

If you take the turn full speed you will then need to turn hard right to enter the pits and this can cause accidents.

SOLUTION: When you are on a pit lap you must take the final turn on the INSIDE and at reduced speed so as to make it abundantly clear to all cars around you that you are on a pit lap.

There is no speed limit to be enforced on the corner, simply lifting off and coasting around will suffice but you MUST hug the inside of the corner so as to keep clear of all cars going around at full speed.

RECAP:


1. Upon the downhill approach to the corner safely adjust your driving line to the inside of the track.
2. take the corner on the inside line safely while hugging the corner.
3. Enter the pits.

BLEND LINE: The pit exit blend line is a wide one and takes up half the track and there is no reason to be going over it. Given that this is the case I will be imposing an automatic 30 second penalty to any driver who crosses it but makes no attempt to re-enter the pit lane. If you cross it and immediately correct the error there will not be a penalty but if there is no attempt to return withing the confines of the blend line a penalty will apply.
 
Room 1472-6118-3658-4756-3364 is now open for free run 👍
