[FGTA - WGTC] [S2] Thanks for a great season! Merry Christmas everyone!Finished

[PASM]

Just waiting on race reports from @PASM and @RS__96__oO to finalise results in PRO.

AM, need one from: @HAMILTONR, @roberte, @Nail-27 and @Makozi. Form is HERE.

Report filed. Ascari was a fun track to race, though I made a lot of mistakes. I think most of us did a few. On to Monza with that darn PP penalty

 

[rono_thomas]

1:42.628 with 8pp pen, not sure there's anymore in this HSV.

 

[gtpcaine]

Unfortunately I haven't had time to go through all the data yet, so results from Ascari will be posted next week at some point.

Due to the Nurburgring 6hours, we will be dropping Red Bull ring from the schedule and delaying round 8 by two weeks, meaning there will only be two rounds remaining.

Round 8 - Monza will take place on the 29th November, and Round 9 - Nurburgring shall remain on the 13th December.

I appreciate Monza will then clash with thanksgiving in the USA, but there are more drivers participating in the 6 hour than those who would potentially miss the delayed race, so I have to go with the schedule that suits the majority.

 

[rclark83]

Has red bull ring been tested?

 

[Phouchg]

Pew, that might have been a lucky break for me. Would have been very close if I could make the red bull race or not. Really looking forward to the last two races. Tracks that I'm really comfortable with.

 

[Glenalz81]

It's a real shame that a race has to be dropped as its dropped people right out of the championship fight.

Couldn't we have an extended race for double points or a double race weekend?

Double race weekend!

Has red bull ring been tested?

we have used it without note for both WRS and SNAIL....great place for GT3 cars. Excellent overtaking places.

 

[Glenalz81]

[Spirit]

Because I had to miss Ascari, do I still have my PP penalty for Monza? Would like to know so I can get testing (assuming I can race anyway).

 

[Phouchg]

If you didn't have a reserve you will lose pp penalty yes.

 

[rono_thomas]

Nurb will be the decider then

[Phouchg]

Beautiful rono! Hope I can give you a lot of nice things to shoot the remainder of the season.. like me winning the last two races.

Gotta get through me first! Can't wait for Monza, it's one of my favorite tracks! (for its high speed nature)

 

[Mini Stiggy]

So with the new schedule, are we racing on December 6?

 

[gtpcaine]

Just to keep you guys updated. I am currently without internet at home. Our whole street has lost it due to some idiot crashing into the junction box! They said that our service should be resumed by 24th Nov! It has also knocked out the phones at work so can't use their wifi either.

If there are any changes i will let you know as soon as i can, but Ascari results will be fairly late.

 

[Makozi]

Does anybody knows when is the Monza race?

 

[Glenalz81]

2 weeks today, usual time.

 

[Makozi]

2 weeks today, usual time.

Thanks Glenalz.

 

[gtpcaine]

Right, I finally have my internet back. Time to finish off Ascari results -- a few incidents which still need checking, so should have the results done by the weekend. Sorry for the delay.

Championship Standings
​

The full rundown on standings can be found HERE. In the bottom left corner you will see different tabs to view the respective tables.

Ford have now taken the Manufacturer's title as they can no longer be caught. All other titles are still up for grabs though.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

How come I'm at -5pp?

 

[gtpcaine]

Because your reserve won, so the car receives the penalty. I had it when Nin won for me at Suzuka.

EDIT

Or was he reserve for RCB, I forgot now its been too long!

 

[PASM]

Congrats to the Ford guys 👍

 

[gtpcaine]

How come I'm at -5pp?

Just read back, my mistake. Its RCB with the penalty. Sorry.

[Spirit]

@Mini Stiggy please remember to send me the car/fuel/tire info before the race please. I'm no tuning guru. Thanks.

 

[Phouchg]

I'm confused. . I think you forgot to add points for race 7 in the standings.

edit: scratch that, my phone was bringing up the old file for some reason..

edit2: We will drop our worst result right? Because I've been counting on that to be able to still take this. ^^

 

[rono_thomas]

Worst result = Actually having run in the race??
