Just a quick question not related to the RX7: Are we starting at 7pm BST or 7pm GMT on Monday? I got myself completely confused with that summertime now. Because as I understand it is supposed to run 7pm local UK time so that would be BST now. Correct?

Yeah, 7 BST
 
You should become faster in 3 months or less

I started driving with it in a room with Oz last night. I'm going to be practicing hard for the next few weeks. I'm a fast learner. :)
It was fun for my first time and I only spun a couple times a lap. Ran at Mt.Panorama. :)

Incident: 8
Lap: 29
Effected driver(s): Glen
Offence(s): Avoidable Contact, Dangerous and Malicious driving

Final turn, Glen has just lapped him again, Sniper doesn't brake at all and contacts Glen, luck Glen got away with it with just a slightly wider line than usual, how the F:censored:

Offence(s): Weaving on a straight, Ignoring blue flags, Forcing a car off track, Dangerous and Malicious driving

From T4 he starts to weave on the straight so TK could not pass, he then stopped, so TK proceeded past, Sniper the forces TK off track resulting in a spin. He then appears to be waiting (possibly for TK), spins and ends up on the apex of T7 as TK arrived there, TK had to go off to avoid him, although this in itself is does not seem malicious, I think had he have not spun then he would have tried to take TK out.

Incident: 11

Glen has to force a pass around the outside of T2, Sniper still tries to defend his position.

Sniper drives from T2 to T4 in 1st and 2nd gear, when Milan turns up, Sniper starts weaving around to stop Milan from passing, this actually results in Sniper going a very long way off track as he doesn't turn in for T4.

Incident: 13
Lap: 33
Effected driver(s): Nifty, Glen
Offence(s): Parking on track, Dangerous and Malicious driving

Sniper 1st stops his car dead in the final turn, then when Nifty and Glen get to him he starts to move to be in an awkward position on the track.

(Lap 34 Parks on inside of T1 then leaves the car rolling around again)

Incident: 14
Lap: 34
Effected driver(s): Glen, Nifty, Caine, TK, Me

Incident: 18
Lap: 37
Effected driver(s): Caine
Offence(s): Dangerous Driving, Blocking

He is just bored now I think and trying to take people out, he is not driving at full throttle and then when a car comes close, he is trying to cause an accident and destroy peoples races :(

Offence(s): Blocking,

T2 he moves into TK's way as TK wants to lap him, he the brakes hard and takes the corner slower to slow TK down. He then tries to keep up with TK, comes off trying and then continues to drive slowly around the just generally getting in the way.

Incident: 20
Lap: 41
Effected driver(s): Stiggy, Me
Offence(s): Ignoring blue flags

He just stays right in the way of us fighting for the lead of the race, 1st in Stiggys way, I spot the opportunity and Sniper moves in my way to block us both from him. (continuing at a very slow speed still)

(Lap 41, pulls the handbrake on pit straight)

Incident: 21
Lap: 42
Effected driver(s): Me, stiggy
Offence(s): Dangerous rejoin, Avoidable contact, Ignoring blue flags

On the exit of T2 Sniper goes off track, when he rejoins the track he then continues to cross the track into my path in a close battle for the lead and makes contact with me, resulting in damage for me. He then continues on his path further and blocks Stiggy in T3.

Incident: 22
Lap: 42/43
Effected driver(s): TK (at this point has taken the AM lead, not sure if during pit strategy)
Offence(s): Dangerous and Malicious Driving

TK hesitates to pass after the incidents before, it seems Sniper waits for TK to make his move and then simply rams him off the track. He then follows TK off the track and continues to attempt to push TK to keep him off the track. He then follows TK to the pits and waits on track for TK to exit the pits.

He then pitted, come back out and retired his car on the exit of T1.

Track limits:
Lap 5, Pit entry
Lap 9, Pit exit (marginal)
Lap 13, T6
Lap 16, T6
Lap 18, T6
Lap 22, pit exit.
Lap 23, T6 & 7
Lap 26 - Unsafe pit entry
Lap 34, T6
Lap 34, pit entry
Lap 35, pit exit
Lap 36, pit entry

Add to that:
Using the chat box during the race x2 (even after being told not to by Stiggy)
Parking on Track.I know I asked for your opinion at the top, but after now having seen the footage on this occasion I will be using my power as the race director to Give him a 2 year ban.
I fairly sure you will all agree anyway, but, I will not have this kind of behavior on my track.
In my opinion his behavior drastically changed the final outcome of both the PRO race and the 2 car AM race.
On this occasion I would recommend this covers all FGTA events.
He has been messaged and told of the situation, his ban coveres all FGTA series, please take his name off the OP and offer his space to another driver

One slot is free Now
 
Any times available from the mid field guys?

As per S1 I don't like Silverstone and haven't managed to put any laps in.

Guess I'll be near the back somewhere!

Also guys remember there is an update tomorrow so make an effort to get on early so you can download it in plenty of time.

I just got a couple of practise laps in yesterday on RS. Was running 2:06.4X's (full tank, fresh tires). Haven't tested in the rain yet, though. Is the forecast still light rain?

@azidahaka What website do you use for the weather reports?

Nice time, that was the front runners pace last season, unfortunately for me that pace is just a pipe dream haha

Roll on rounds 3/4/6/7/8 :drool:
 
Raceday

See you guys later today , hoping for rain because im slow on either strategy here and dont really have a chance at the podium

Need a perfect race for a good result
 
Very low, like 30% chance of rain and not strong. But be aware that gt6 adds some randomness to the values...
 
Did the update before work, so now im just waiting until i can go home :)

Nice, so no 100% nurb action again :nervous:


Adjustments to the Open Lobby
- From the Member List, it is now possible to see the Performance Points, maximum output and weight of the cars that have joined the room.
- An "Overall Best" time is now displayed on screen while in Practice, Qualifying, Time Trial and Drift Trial.
- The minimum value for [Max Power Limit] and [Minimum Weight] has been changed from 10 to 1.
- The options available in the [Race Type] menu within [Room Settings] of the "Event Settings" screen have been changed.

Other improvements and adjustments
- The Traction Control System (TCS) which is activated when driving off-track is now used only in sand/gravel pits.
- The strength of the "Real" option for the [Slipstream Strength] parameter within [Race Settings] when creating a room in [Open Lobby], has been weakened.

Sounds great checks may not be needed more. If it will work correctly, And works like i'm thinking it does. TCS adjustion now it will be dangerous to hit the grass :)
 
Sorry guys, can't make it tonight, got some IRL stuff I have to take care of tonight. :-( Sorry for the incovenience, hope it's not too late and someone will fill up my position. Have a great race chaps. ;)
 
I didn't see much of the race. Nothing much interesting. I spun around lap 30 and barely barely caught Oz at the end.. For whoever does the highlight video. Oz had fast lap also.
 
I would like for my last lap with roob in the highlights. Specifically the horseshoe turn and from the last sweeper to the finish line.
