So if there is no position or time gained during the race, no additional penalty?

The reason I ask is I still do go off relatively often from blowing the braking zone pre-chicane and cutting the left corner. Doing so still costs me at least 0.75s over a normal lap because transition from grass to pavement always puts me in a speed scrubbing slide and I cross the start/finish line 3 corners later at least 5mph slower than normal...

Well, pretty much what's going down is this:

We're not expecting anyone to blatantly cut the corners so it'll be obvious if you're just messing up your lap and going off by accident. But we've had races where guys have cut some seriously grassy lines to catch back up to the pack after having being punted off track.

We didn't have a precedent before that since it was the first time it happened and it was first season, so we couldn't do much. But now we know what to do if someone tries to pull the same thing.

You don't have to worry about accidentally going off track, we're not worried about that. RT also mentioned the other only big thing, if you pass someone by going off track, just let him back through and we're all cool.

If it's an accident, that's fine. I just don't want anyone doing it on purpose to gain speed.

oh thats actually going to look good

Thanks Dr W. I put a little more thought in my paint scheme when I heard gt series. More speed probably means less consistency for me though. Gotta get in the NC and run some laps

Agreed, especially with tuning becoming a larger factor too

I'm vaguely familiar with tuning suspension so I may be begging for top 10 finishes. Regardless, I'm going to enjoy back to back races Sunday night

Just joined this room, which is now a GT practice room

 

[BlackIce90]

My pit crew hates me

Thats because you just questioned the fact that you even have a team! lol

 

[Talon]

Done.....

Except for one thing. I forgot to put Graham on the list. Anyone want to give up their spot?

False hope much?

Keep me as an alternative in that case I guess.

I was asking if someone wanted to give up their spot, not you in particular.

I took over spdu4ea's room, and then I broke it

New room: 1472 6681 3630 4561 8366

Open for both Spec and GT practice

Oh I know, but I read "Done." and was like yay!, and then read one line down and was all "awww."

It's all good, I wasn't 100% sure I would be able to make the races anyway. If someone drops out though, I'll definitely take their spot. 👍

You chill! I'm just givin you a hard time. It's all good.

You know it's your own fault for creating the most popular series at GTP!

 

[redreevos]

Wow, I guess checking this thread every 24 hours or so, is not fast enough. Just looked at this thread last night, and since then, another race series has started and is full.

Sign me up as an alternate please. Thank you.

leme pull out my binoculars so i can see myself on the starting grid! nice pictures

 

[Shadow Wulf 2k]

It was fun practicing with you guys tonight! I need to work on that one chicane near the end...

yeah its a tricky turn - I usually slam on the brakes and shift to 3rd after the 3rd or 4th red "#3" flashes on my screen, completely let off the gas and brakes and then hard on the gas asap. If I do it right I can have my left wheels on the grass while my right wheels are still hugging the rumble strip. I think that chicane is going to be critical for qualifying well. My best lap was yesterday in the practice room 1:01.817. I'll try to join the new room in a few if its still up, although still waiting for the bag of crap @ woot.com

 

[Talon]

For the people in the practice room right now, there's a new update that just went up. 👍

 

[SAMHAIN85]

I'm already updated. if you guys want to still practice:

1472-4711-0081-4389-4397

also if were gona do more joke races, I got something you guys will like. Shuffle race, high boost, NO RULES. Course cutting and bumping is not only allowed, but its encouraged!

 

[Entroper]

Well, I WAS enjoying practice races, but I've got the dreaded 80710092.

NOOOOO! Figure that out!

 

[Entroper]

And now I've been disconnected when someone changed the rules, and I can't get back in. "You cannot join this room right now. Please wait a short while, and you will be able to join."

 

[spdu4ea]

new practice room:

1472 6118 3615 5262 0729

(I left but it is still open)
