TO EVERYONE, I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS TO EVERYONE TO PLEASE RE-READ THESE TO AVOID A REPEAT OF THE OBNOXIOUS AMOUNT OF WARNINGS AND PENALTIES
The start seemed to be a bit of a mess lol
How many people crashed in the first hour?Yep too much, i was like, wtf alls guys doing, not a 3laps race, we are there for the next 6 hours !!!
I'm pleased that after serving 4 penalties we were only 2 laps down at the end.I have to agree with @J_Starscream on this one. Every single team had their ups and downs, and for so many teams to finish on the same lap despite many trials and tribulations, I can't name a single team that outshone the other.
Yes whoever is crowned the winner after all the finalisation is the de facto "team of the race" but all the teams need to know they done amazing, just unfortunate that Mount Panorama makes light work of humbling even the best of us.
Everyone went so slow for me at the start, went right to the inside along pit wall, after turn 1, was right up in 3rd overall and back in class lead.
I personally didn't see it, I was conducting a driver change at the time. I heard it was crazy but I never saw it.Stigs, i never be in this kind of race start....
Look like a 3 laps races, everyone wanna be first before the end of the first corner, i took someone out and i'm really gentle and smooth on my start, because someone ram me twice before first corner.
A lot of rookie driver today or people are rusty a little bit?
I'm gonna say that it was a little rust being kicked off, methinks. There were some rookies, though most that started today didn't run the event at Motegi, and if they had they didn't run the start, so start of the race was kinda awkward. Not sure people remember that there's no overtaking before the line and I recall the slightest jump start from someone to my left, but nobody actually gained anything before T1 as a result.Stigs, i never be in this kind of race start....

6.1.20 Until the Green Flag is displayed, the first Driver in line behind the Safety Car must maintain the Safety Car speed as defined by the Supplementary Regulations.
6.1.21 Once the Green Flag has been displayed, the first Driver in line behind the Safety Car may dictate the pace at any speed above the Safety Car speed as defined by the Supplementary Regulations.
6.1.22 The first Driver in line behind the Safety Car may not accelerate away to resume the Race until the Green Flag has been displayed. They may choose to do so any time between the Green Flag being displayed and the Start/Finish line.
6.1.23 All Drivers will keep their position until they have crossed the Start/Finish line, after the Safety Car has entered the Pits. Drivers may only overtake another Car that is unduly delaying the field.
I'm going to hazard a guess at a jump start. But we'll have to check the tape to make sure you didn't pass until after the start line and are all good.
Remember guys results are provisional until the stint photo analysis is done.
