we had tech issues after qualifying and the green went to start the rolling start the leader lagged out, then several people got damaged because of lag and then one driver got stuck like couldn't move.Just woke up and a question crossed my mind: Why the AM Endurance is only 50mn? I'll read all that you posted this night when I was sleeping, but i need my breakfast before . maybe answer is elready in these posts
I may want to be a steward at the end of the series because of my race experience my clean clean racing and the fact that I have hosted A successful series for 3 if not 4 complete seasons. I also can cover TNT-2000 Stewarding responsibilities when he is not able too. We communicate on the phone which makes it even more so beneficial for us to be Stewart's in this series since we are both AM drivers and Pacific standard time zone. I also and on only missing maybe one the race every season due to responsibilities, and no matter what happens in a race I usually finish them so I can have the replay plus I know how to take pictures of them and upload them to the GTP. The only thing I need to learn to do is how to turn the PS3 file into a YouTube video so I can post them on the forms... 👍

I also received a request from an other member asking to be a steward. I answered that "We have good profilers members in the staff and we spot members who know the rules well, have an examplary behavior, never angry, never sad, etc. Stewards often post productive messages on the forum, they help others everytime they can etc.I may want to be a steward at the end of the series because of my race experience my clean clean racing and the fact that I have hosted A successful series for three if not for complete season.

Well you'll see that because I have a couple of notes to stay here on the Op. The fact that both the endurance races I starting from 11th place and finishing on the podium without taking damage in my opinion shows that I do know what I'm doing out there on the track, and I usually do have positive notes not complaints about drivers. But I'm not begging to be a Steward, just if you guys need another 1. Right now I'm just covering TNT 2000 in case he has scheduling conflicts that I can cover for him for. But all in all TNT 2000 is a very good Stewart and a very good police man for the series... I love this series; everything about it from heavy damage to the tire compound rules and racing guys ny speed in our own class so I will be racing with you guys for life. The only cars that bug me are the SC430 and that's only because they are super GT's, but I will say you guys have reg them very well to the GT3 class chassis overall. Just I know super GT cars you can apply the power harder & sooner than you can do in a GT3 machine. I do believe the Viper and Chevy needs to be sped up HP wise not kg by 20 hp via Viper and the Chevy 10 hp and the SC430 10 hp (maybe SLS too -kg wise for that chassis or drop the HP on the Z4 (20hp) and the Audi (20hp) but after we complete the season first to make sure that it's not the tracks but the cars. But at the same time I'm not sure if the same cars that are dominating our series, are dominating the pro ranks. Which of course would have to be taken into consideration. If everyone thinks the cars are fine as they are, i'm also fine with that I can make it work with my chassis... Blah, blah, blah, 👍I also received a request from an other member asking to be a steward.

We take your request in consideration and if you're that kind of member, we'll spot you soon and contact you to be a Steward, don't worry. Just show us that you're what we are looking for."
I other words, we'll spot you, soon or later
Definitely ALL this post is important but I highlighted in green what is even more importantYes the BMWs have a bad rep going for them 3 out of the 4 races, they have caused incidents. however, I also saw other drivers causing incidents I saw another driver run one of the BMWs off the track on the serragilo straight where the BMW was forced off the track and hit the wall what happen to driver etiquette? The BMWs are not the only ones causing incidents. In the start of the endurance even though i some how got myself in a 3 wide position in front of my I see two BMWs perpendicular to the track, blocking the whole turn. I was 3 wide in the middle with drivers behind me, I had no where to go and so did several others around me. It's unfortunate that this happen but we have to move on to the next race SPA. penalties will be given out in both brands hatch and this race at monza. The points you see now will be completely different after penalties are given out. However, i agree with T-n-T the shenanigans have to stop. I know the best way to make positions up is on a start but to dive bomb people and risking a huge incident or rear ending people isn't the answer and you ruin your race and others. If you see some one in front relatively close of you then get out from behind them by moving to the side cause you will never know when they will break, if it's the start of the race and you can't move to the side then let off the gas and back out before the first of the breaking markers and give the car in front of you SPACE. Makes no sense in trying to make a late braking maneuver when their is someone in front of you or the side of you since you have no where to go. In my case if I were to do a late breaking maneuver their would be a chance that I would have dive bomb the BMWs who were on the out side lined up for the turn. I decided to break a bit early just to avoid breaking too late and running into the side of them even though they took each other out. Also, chat should only be used during the pace laps, not mid race it's a distraction. If chat is going to be used it has to be used to notify damage during the pace lap or special "situations" like what we had in the AM after quali. Another is for lap drivers you see the leaders coming move over and SLOW down to let them by BEFORE the next corner. Do not move over and accelerate with along side with them and taking away the inside line for a corner. I can also add on and bring rage quitting is not allowed in this series and once again we had that here at Monza.
THIS NEXT RACE IS AT SPA IF I KNOW THIS AND THE BLACNPAIN SERIES. THEN MOST LIKELY THE START FINISH WILL BE THE TOTAL SIGN HEADING UP TO EAU ROUGE. THAT IS WHERE THE OFFICIAL START FINISH LINE IS FOR THE BLACNPAIN SERIES AND I WOULD'T BE SURPRISED IF WE DO MAKE THAT SIGN THE START FOR THE RACE. So further more I can't expect and ask everyone to not cause incidents in the next race since we are a huge series now, and we have a lot of people attending the races so there's bound to be incidents somewhere but let's try to minimize those incidents and have a CLEANER start for the next race. So please this is only a friendly reminder. We want this series to thrive, which we are, if we want to keep being successful and continue being the #1 series in GTP then let's show everyone how professional this series is. Remember eventually all these races will be uploaded to youtube for everyone to watch. We even have fans who don't have PS3s. Seriously that says a'lot.
Your friendly little Mexican red crab,
Carlos.
Oops we have to remove Plotnick from the list
Yea, in critical situation, don't forget to use the off-road areas 👍Unfortunately, there was not enough space to remain on the race track and, because I didn't react quick enough to take to cutting the corner to avoid the contact, our two cars touched and I found myself in the barrier with yet more damage.

This will come .Very true. But best to avoid those critical situations altogether, by driving sensibly and respectfully 👍
CodDemon, pyrates, Brutaka, racefan88, 1lambofan, SSJGZWarrior, Roderuner, BAKEMISTER and...myself.This will come .
Litch, how many drivers have experience from Season 1?
First off sorry I couldn't tell you guys I couldn't make it was in an area with no reception... Anyways in spa next weekend it is an hour and a half race, don't overtake in the first corners there is no point. Take it easy and build up momentum.
