@LewisR3 @HighStakes @RedPartyhat @julinho54 @AudiMan2011 @Alextaq @Espial @Roflwaffle @Matty @CrazyJohn @DrifterJoe @RACECAR @Panoz @LancerEvo7 @Foxed @Niop @Ninners @GTPorsche @RealJaySee @Spurgy 777 @Yeratel84 @MadDog18 @chrisjohnson93 @Andil @damonc84
So firstly some incident related stuff:
Round #2
Lap 1 - @Roflwaffle tags me, sends me into @CrazyJohn & @AudiMan2011 . Initially thought to be Rofl's fault, I got a solid tap in the rear boot (I thought) turns out he was avoiding us braking and tagged my rear wheel. Nothing malicious or clumsy, racing incident exaggerated by lag. No action.
Lap 4 - @damonc84 pushes @Yeratel84 out of road. Looked back at laps prior, didn't see anything to warrant just running him off. Yes he hit you in door, but didn't actually mess you up in anyway. One strike applied - any other penalty would be meaningless as you were lapped and only ahead one other car.
Lap 8 - @Spurgy 777 spins fighting me. Move wasn't on, and he spun himself out. No action taken.
Round #3
Lap 1 - @Spurgy 777 does his best @LancerEvo7 impression in wiping out half the field. Racing Incident as @LewisR3 was avoiding another car and ran out of room. However Spurgy... you were going to wipe out a load of cars anyway as you were braking ridiculously late. Watch your aggression levels.
STANDINGS Remember Top 12 are locked in.
Calendar info - slight tweak in additions and tracks - Maggiore East replaces full, Monza replaces Suzuka. Small date change - let me know what events you cannot make (a few of you had set dates)

Copy Furi, What I did was probably a little overboard, but at the same time I wanted to get my point across I'm not going to take crap from people pushing me around to get by me, and that happened on quite a few occasions over the 3 races.
BTW, SSE will not be at the next round at Dragon Trail, the Pre Season Race for GGTC is at the same time and we have most of our eggs in that basket for the year. Will be at Kyoto thou.

Intentionally hitting someone off is never called for in an organised series regardless of what they did to you and especially if it was accidental as that (theoretically) is why we have a penalty system. Not having a go, just feel it's important to emphasize that there is no need to take things into your own hands as it should hopefully be fairly dealt with after.

Says the person that everyone was going "wtf" to after race 3.
You do have a valid point, kinda.... via communication with my teammate, he was driving rather poorly to begin with and being very pushy. In the heat of the moment I let my emotions get the best of me when he made contact, which did push me off my line and killed my momentum, I returned the favor 10 fold. That being said, ill take my strike and note your opinion and move on to the next race.
On another note (incoming rant), I know can race people clean, give room, and go side by side door to door with people with no contact, i do it all the time with Shifter Karts 3 to 4 night a week with a group I race with (see signature). Just erks me that I know I can do this and time and time again in these Online league races (not just this one) I try to race everybody the same way, I get hit in the side because the "faster" guy cant hold his line on the inside and use my car to make the turn, and sends me off into the gravel. (FYI That happened at least 4 times in two different corners by at least 3 different racers yesterday) This is complaining to a degree, but hear me out, I know I'm not the fastest driver in the group, also the Renault I feel (teammate shares this view) has been neutered quite a bit performance wise (besides the point), all I ask is to be raced clean and fair, that is all I ask, otherwise, I am going to race you like you race me, and that might turn out the way you think.

You got some tricks you want to share with me?
Don't run someone off for the hell of it. From someone who has done that once, wasn't my finest hour back in the day I admit. You get a lot more respect from racing properly.
Personally I race how i'm raced. Give me a shot in the rear to get me off line I may return favour

Hey, sounds like you guys had fun, too bad I couldn't be there.
I'm definitely in for Dragon Trail, looking forward to that. Hopefully I can qualify for the races
Something came up and I won't be able to make it for Kyoto and Monza after that... pity, I love those tracks.

Seems plenty of teams with new car delivery issues , well there's going to be some variety towards bottom end of the field.
Still wish we had 24 car lobbies though for online.

Greetings from France! Just wanted to know if @Furinkazen the Veteran is all fine.
I'll be back for some races here and there as soon as I'll receive my GTOmega wheel stand mid February.
Cheers!!
