And because of that I don´t like the penalty system
We all are clean racers and due too lag someone gets knocked behind.
I can make it tonight, didn´t test with your specs, but I was in Rhyf´s DTM-Series and we pretty much over-tested Autumn-Ring with his specs/cars => plenty of knowledge (hopefully).

Cool Sakery, Im sure you will be quick!
Penalties:
There was 1 official protest last week from Sassa about an incident on lap 2 (corner 6) involving him, Ally and Petrol. After reviewing it we have concluded that in the actual incident itself, Sassa quarter-spun Ally in turn 6 which resulted in both of them slowing down and leaving a gap that Petrol tried to drive through. As he was going through the gap he was squeezed by both Sassa and Ally. This resulted in Sassa being pushed off into the grass and loosing a few seconds of overall time which was in itself probably a good reason not to punish Sassa with a points penalty considering his general driving before and after the incident, so nobody gets a penalty for that specific incident. However, in the 1st few laps Petrol and Ally were bumping, dive-bombing and generally reckless, so we have decided to penalise both with a 5 point penalty.
There is also the incident in the video on page 17 of this thread. Scale has not made an official protest but we looked at it anyway because there seems to be a difference in the replays for different drivers. Obviously this involved Canu, so Driver and I have done the review independently. It looks like Scale did leave the door wide open and tried to turn in very late which leads to the contact. Luckily in was on a part of the track with no barrier or grass and Scale didn't get a game-penalty so Scale didn't really lose much time at all. The fact that Scale has not logged an official protest and there seem to be 2 different views of this replay means we are not penalizing in this case.
Also, in light of the apparent issue whereby replays can be different, we have decided that in future cases such as this we will rely on the majority rules (out of 3) videos to decide which version of an incident we accept as the one to review.
See you all later for a great race.

Ummm... On what lap was I driving recklessly and divebombing? I watched the replay and didnt divebomb or drive recklesss. I didnt impede anyone or knock anyone off. Like u said I got knocked by Sassa and spun but im not making a fuss out of it.
So can I please get some more info as to exactly where?

Race 2 lap 2. You turned sideways in right in front of me coming out of turn 6. I hit you in the right front fender and straightened you out. I did not quarter turn Ally. There was no sound of contact during the race or on the replay. That was not what the protest was about anyway. I'm all for a little contact. As soon as we separated Petrol dove between us and I got knocked into the grass and fell back to last place. A bit of impatience on his part but he saw a gap, I would have gone for it too. I'm the one who ended up losing all the positions so that's why I complained. You would have as well if contact forced you to last place. Ally, you lag the absolute most so I would not count on your replay to show what really happened in a situation. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to air this dirty laundry homes. Maybe a personal message to the offending parties. I'm confused why these two should lose any points. Neither of them complained about each other so why penalize?

Sassa, to be honest I did get knocked sideways in the corner it and it shows on my replay. But im not complaining about that and as far as I am concerned it was a racing incident. So no worries over here...
The thing Im wondering is where I was divebombing, driving recklessly and knocking people as was stated in the review. Because the only contact I had with someone was with Sassa on turn 6 where I had the quarter turn... But like I said I aint complaining about that. I just want to know why is that incident being highlighted as there are other incidents involving other participants throughout the replay which should also be penalized... Especially since neither myself or Petrol complained...

I take that back. I just watched the replay again and I did make contact. I was on the inside with my right side tires on the grass so I'm not sure what more I could have done to keep clean. Does it show that on your replay? I was as far inside as I could get. You did dive bomb me the corner before that. Turn 5 me and Rikkos were side by side and you came through really hot and turned invisible.
Every single week in every single racing series there are going to be complaints to the stewards. Teams that think they've been wronged are going to complain. The stewards see the replays and make a judgment. Penalty or not everyone goes racing again the next week. 5 points doesn't hurt too much anyways.

Wow....what a night of close action packed racing.
That second race was crazy good, thanks Homes and Sakery for the close racing. I think for everyone, it was all about preserving the tires.
Pity about Scales connection.
Well done to Ally on his pole lap, that was quick.
Bring on the next race.

First race was ok too but the formation lap was screwed and I had a 15 second gap after I crossed the line (hoping for me to Q next time, but I did a Q and didn´t knew why I had to start from the end).
Drove home at 6th and did a 2 stopper which was kinda stupid decision.
Had a good battle with unrealanthony and others which I had too pass.
Race 2 was better.
After 1st turn was the pass-point but me think I passed sassa a tad too early. (was next to him through the first turn but I think I was on the edge).
Had good fights with wilfried and Flank´d 👍
Homes and others closed the gap till first stop. I decided for 10/9 but homes tactic was better (9/10) so he passed me and driver.
We both closed to homes and me and driver fought for 2nd and the last laps driver and homes fought for 1st, but I killed my tires trying to keep up/ahead during the 7 laps after pit.
Was superb 👍
I´m looking forward to the next round

I had internet problems so missed the first race. Had a good start in second race and passed Canu and Driver then had a massive tank slapper. By the time I got out of the gravel I was last about half a lap down. But was all good fun.
I am a bit shocked with the 5 point penalty for Ally and I. I wasnt at all unhappy with his driving and he would have said something if he was unhappy with mine. There is always going to be a bit of paint swopping. I drive with the top of car view so dont have mirrors so always try keep it clean.

Awesome race! That was a classic tank slapper Petrol, I didn't know which way to go to miss you...... and you almost had it lol.
This series is really turning out to be something special! Everyone is starting to find a bit of pace and it's incredibly tight thru the field. Congrats on the double Driver, your speed and tire management was brilliant and you deserved the wins. Unlucky Homes, you almost had it! Great drive as well Sakery
I was hoping to get pole but I cracked under the pressure and didn't get in a clean lap...... but it might have been hard to beat Ally's lap anyways, super quick bud!
I had good one lap pace but no race pace but I plan to take my revenge at LAGUNA!!!!!

No worries Scale. I understand it was lag. Was just laughing at how from way behind you would bolt right infront of me and then have your car climbing walls. Lol. Yes Scale my tires went in the first race... Had to slow down to preserve them. Had enough of a lead to get 5th without the need to push.
I really find this whole tire thing weird... In offline practice, I can drive on my tires (softs) for 8-9 laps without it dropping off and still maintain good pace but as soon as I go online, driving at the same pace it only lasts 4-5. Almost half as long. Really weird...

Ally your right, I have also noticed that. I always open my own lounge now when I do a few laps online, for that reason.
Laguna will be another tire eater.
Think we all need to schedule a practice session, or two, this would also help the field realize what pace to achieve. It could only add to closer racing. Also, add set up tips and so on.

Just a point about lag if you experincing every one jumping about then pullover or quit the race as it doesnt take much to ruin some ones race. And feel that it starting to be used as get out jail free card or a penualty reducer
Ive quit at the high speed ring due me not wanting to ruin the others race
i would like to see prehapps a pionts bonus for the cleanest driver/most sportman like
To encourage clean driving

Scale96yer canu, im defintly taken revenge at laguna, my internet should be better by then. so watch out people my overtaking will be back
If I get it on pole, you won't see me
maybe just my ass going into the first corner lol. It's Driver you should be worried about, he's definitely found a sweet setup..... or maybe his son is driving for him?
Driver proberly in bed so his son drives . I havent bonded with my car for some reason, Canu n driver are placing near top in quali, and im averging a 5th, doesnt sound to bad lol, but i want to be fighting for the lead a bit more, Even no battles with homes rikkos and others have been huge fun i think im gunna practice a bit more. (or its the pressure of my final exams
