(FGT3) - Formula GT Championship S3Open

Good news, @xife10 managed to get a new ps3.

I would like to point something. Although we put a strong penalty, cutting the track after turn 15 is possible and gives a time advantage. If we put a strong penalty on the lobby for qualy, we will also have that penalty on the race, something that could cause the cars to go transparent when we are batteling each other. As always I trust that every driver will be clean, but it is a fact that after turn 15 you can gain pretty much time, and we do not have a marshall to look at it. What can we do?

Also, you can win some tenths by going wide on turn 9. The game doesnt give a penalty for that, so in qualy that is going to be uncontrollable, but if we see someone in the race going repeatedly wide on that turn, can that be sanctionable? The limit should be the white line.

I will be reviewing the replays to make sure, I was going to explain it later

There will be heavy time penalties given to people who abuse track limits.

But what about qualifying? We cant save the replay for it

 

[True-blue-8]

No I guess not,but a lot of it can be seen on the stream.

Also, if people see anyone going off track they should report it.

Is anyone going to be watching the stream live?

 

[Mikail Hizal]

I was going to ask this but got already an answer xD (track limits)

Yes mate, all 4 wheels must be inside the white line, however the kerb may count as an extension. For example;



Those above are considered legal, but on the limit, so do not go any further than that.



Those are illegal.

Just make sure your wheels which approach the kerb first (so the left side in the Ferrari picture and right in clio) do not go past the kerb. If you do, then lift off to slow down. People who keep doing this will be penalised.


Does everyone understand that?

 

[Menoita]

One last question: will there be then penalty in qualy? We can also qualify with penalty, get out of the race, order in a grid in free run with the qualy results and start the race.

No. From what I've seen the penalty hasn't affected me at all. When I ran wide (then lifted off and back out) but even when I did it on purpose to try, I wasn't given a pen, which surprises me.

Also, it takes a lot longer to do a manual grid, and it can cause connection issues.

 

[SIERRA95]

Good job True Blue. It was necessary to clarify the limits:tup:

 

[DannyB013]

The sticky brake issue has returned! On my last q lap, being on the brakes down the Wellington straight and on chapel exit hurt me horribly, so I don't know if my 33.57 is enough?

Afraid not mate, typing up a briefing now but the big news is @Rvgracer has knocked you out

And now half of the crowd have gone home

Race soon! Here are the lobbies;

A lot of people who didn't do the TT but i'll deal with that later, although i'm a bit worried about attendance numbers tonight.


Please respect track limits, I have explained above what is allowed/illegal. Penalties will be awarded if anyone keeps cutting corners. Please remember that I can apply penalties as late as next week and amend results, if I find out people abused the limits. So please be careful. If you see anyone cutting corners please report it.


When your race has finished/you DC, do not join the same or another lobby.

Also, please again no mention of the F1, incase some people have decided to watch it later.

Do not chat during the race unless it is important.

No weather announcements, as Monaco has no settings.

From a personal point of view i'm not looking forward to my own race, I've always struggled here and notbeen doing too well this week, a class podium is the best I can hope for really.

See you all soon

 

[Ash9414]

It starts after the actual F1 Quali, right?

Yeah, the actual Q sessions will have finished, but it's just respectful if we don't mention it, some people may not have been able to record it live 👍

 

[Ash9414]

Yeah, fair enough. I was just checking I could watch it and not miss FGT.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Last minute signup, hope that's alright?

 

[True-blue-8]

Any tips for Copse? I'm struggling so bad there :/

 

[True-blue-8]

lobby up

STREAM

 

[MC CAULEY]

Oh, well even Fernando used to win races. Question is do you still have it. Come show us

Well, maybe near the end of the season. After the American election or after the rate hike in December. I'll have to play it be ear.

After watching the last race I think I could do well with being easy on the rubber, (if I haven't lost it, lol). The main thing is just the rush, I don't really care where I end up.

I'm concentrating on other things at the moment and wouldn't have the time to give it 100%. So for now I'll just watch and touch myself.

Vroom, vroom.

 

[DannyB013]

After my connection booting people out of lobbies and me not being able to see half of the field again, I couldn't even get into the lobby in the end. I got sick of trying after 5 attempts.... Have a good race guys 👍

LOBBY B is a joke here too mate 👎

 

[Harsk100]

As a reserve driver, I won't be making it today.

 

[True-blue-8]

to everyone who didn't attend, thanks for ruining our night 👎

Do you not think it would be easier to post when you actually plan to turn up, rather than every week saying you can't?

 

[CinnamonOD]

Sorry for that, but there was no way I could make it, I actually said I wasn't going to be able to participate, I just arrived home like 15 minutes ago.

Sadly, I won't be able to participate this Saturday.

yeah mate don't worry I knew you couldn't, my comment was directed towards the 7 AWOL people :/ 👍

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Lobby A Result

 

[True-blue-8]

Lobby B was pretty disgusting tonight. The amount of AWOL's and then the problem with ELVIS. I couldn't even have a decent race. My RM speed was quicker than the leaders but I lost everything on RH, I had no control on them.

However last week might be my last. I'm not prepared to do all this work for a 30 driver series just to have a couple of people race with us.

EDIT - Also, no one is following rules and i'm being told not to enforce them. This is a complete and utter joke right now.

Can I ask what rules not getting followed?

 

[DestenDeath2]

Sorry I missed the race, I had to close on some business deals early this afternoon. But don't stress it @True-blue-8.

Remember, it has to be fun first. Don't lose that.

And don't stress over people not showing up, be glad for those who were there for it.

And for track limits, Next series, just choose tracks where you don't have to worry about people doing things illegally.

And hey, my arms are always open to help you out with adding numbers and updating info on the thread.

Plus, Im working on the website and other marketing stuff to better promote the series. We need to get ready to continue the series once GT Sports comes along. I hope they keep the FGT car in that game too. I only race GT500 and FGT cars.

So keep your head up and things will be better. Cheers.
