First of all i'm not trying to push my opinion, i'm glad to be part of FGTA and i try my best to make it grow in the little i can with my ability and insight
I understand using IRL situations as a start for regulating the races and it's the reason i joined up FGTA
but even if i understand what you mean, you should consider that a DC may put an aerly end to a championship fight, and scoring some points would help the drivers that disconected not "dropping the ball" also in RL racing if there's no other cars running and you retire while in i.e. 6th position, you'll get the point for that position. It happened many times in F1, and at monaco i think just 4 cars ended the race yet all were classified and points awarded.
Also IRL if you ram a wall you completely drop off a race not get a crubled car to box and restart with a fresh car after 20 secondshow could we enforce that? even with real damage you can fix your car or somehow bring it to pits even if you had a crash that would have most likely killed the driver.
that said i mean in short that we have to face that we can't get a 100% perfect system unless we'll be give the instrument in the game (i.e. real damages, eventual technical failures, driver's injury that would make you skip races etc etc). So we should keep doing the best we can as YOU guys have been doing!
that said to sum it up i think i won't be enforcing the "90% rule" or the "no points on disconnect rule" but i'll have a discussion regarding the new rules with my most experienced and rapresetative drivers about it.
I guess i'm the first organizer arguing about FGTA guidelines lol
DC procedures depend entirely on the series. IE how long the races are, if you have restarts after a dc etc etc. So no worries mate, you are free to use whatever you wish. That was just what we were planning on using for some series' in the future, IE WGTC Season 2.
same as yours
