That was a great race with terrible last 4 laps for me. I had a comfortable gap of like 15 seconds over @Neutty when I decided that it‘d be smart to slam my car into the wall in the first Porsche corner and get front aero and right front suspension damaged. I lost about 4 seconds a lap to him which really cost me the win I guess :ouch:
I need to work on my consistency, it‘s utterly awful :banghead:

Thank you everyone for having me, I hope I can race you guys again in the near future :cheers:
I felt aweful for the lap 6-7 damage I caused. I at that point had .9 fuel and was trying to decide if I could save enough following you or not and just spaced off the brake point.

none the less, I have never had to drive so hard for a victory ever. I look Forward I our next battle. I feel I lost this one though I got lucky.

No problem with that, rear damage didn't cause too much trouble and since you also had damage it was equalled out :D

Hopefully I can avoid stupid errors next time :lol: Still annoys me very much what I did there just to get another .5 seconds faster with my laptime :banghead: I already knew I was going to hit it if I continue at my speed because I left the corner before way too much on the outside and then just couldn't make it stick :dunce:

Also the lap before my second pitstop I was distracted for a short moment and slammed into the wall causing front and suspension damage.. Cost me another few seconds
 
I had no idea those '08 cars were so quick! If not for @Jw_wk1010 I would have fallen off a heck of a lot sooner. Great race though. Enjoyed that one.

Do I have the pick @Nick Cannella? Wasn't sure that was confirmed.

Lol I didn't have any issue pushing u along that's for sure and after I gave us both damage I could just shove as hard as I wanted and it didn't slow us down.
 
I had a pretty good race. Started last and finished 8th. Ran 7th most of the race until the last stint and had to seriously save fuel. Went from a 20 sec cushion to 6 sec with about 3 laps to go. Totally got in my head and miffed it a bit, but still managed a decent finish.

Race 6 is still 3 weeks away, however, I wanted to get this put now. This series is limited to 1 lobby. We have 13 drivers currently on auto-confirm, which leaves three "at large" grid positions. Those will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Once those are filled, we will take reserve drivers. The main objective is to run every race with 16 drivers.
***Important note for drivers on AC*** If you think you cannot or will not make the race, please state that in advance. Any driver that responds as tentative will be moved to a reserve position. Again, the objective is to have 16 drivers on the grid.
There may be further changes to this series coming in the near future, hopefully beginning with the April race.

I'll confirm
 
ATTENTION ARL MEMBERS.


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION GOING FORWARD.


WE WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS @Neutty WILL BE THE HEAD STEWARD. @Herimopp89 WILL STILL HELP WITH IR'S BUT WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE TYPING TO EVERYONE. THE BACKUP STEWARD IS CURRENTLY @Jw_wk1010 AND HE IS STILL AVAILABLE TO HELP US.


WE WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT @PApunk924 WILL STEP UP AND HELP MYSELF AND @Herimopp89 .


NOW, THE IMPORTANT CHANGES. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING HEAVILY ON A NEW PENALTY POINTS SYSTEM. THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL BE ACROSS ALL ARL SERIES MINUS THE SUPER FORMULA SERIES. THIS SYSTEM WILL MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER TO ASSESS PENALTIES, AND HOPEFULLY CLEAN UP THE BS WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.


GOING FORWARD, ONE OF THE STEWARDS CAN RANDOMLY PULL UP A REPLAY AND GO THROUGH IT AND ASSESS PENALTIES EVEN IF NOTHING WAS FILED.



3 Points - Cutting Track Limits with no concession

3 Points - Blocking (After one allowed move)

3 Points - Cutting someone off in the corner (Driver is past their door) Replay Review will show more.



4 Points - Contact that results in minor damage on a straight

8 Points - Contact that results in Major Damage on a straight




3 Points - Passing Out of Bounds

3 Points - Uncontrolled Unsafe reentry

3 Points - Spinning another car

3 Points - Pushing another driver out of bounds

4 Points - Bumping another car on entry or mid corner that pushes them into a wall or wide of corner exit.

5 Points - Dive Bomb

6 Points - Controlled Unsafe reentry


Everything above in blue is a minimum with an addition of the below.


Concession given is 0 points

No Concession is 2 point addition

No Damage is 0 Points

Minor Damage is 2 points given

Major Damage is 5 points given


Example:


Dive Bomb with Concession and no damage is 5 points.

Dive Bomb with Concession and Minor Damage (+2) is 7 Points

Dive Bomb with Concession and Major Damage (+5) is 10 Points

Dive Bomb with No Concession (+2) and No damage is 7 points

Dive Bomb with No Concession (+2) and Minor Damage (+2) is 9 Points

Dive Bomb with No Concession (+2) and Major Damage (+5) is 12 Points


20 points- anything that can be determined retaliation, intentionally wrecking someone, just driving like an idiot and causing a scene.



We do take into consideration that mistakes happen and we will look into a less severe penalty if self-reported.



MINOR damage- damage that affects the aero/handling



MAJOR damage- anything damage that results in engine damage



Any penalties resulting higher than 15 points, driver will start at the rear of the next race with no chance of pole position bonus point. The driver will be placed on probation for a determined amount of time.



When a driver gets to 18 points total for a season that driver will either be on probation for 1 race and/or have a meeting with the stewards and discuss all incidents. The driver will not be eligible for any bonus points (pole or fastest lap) of any kind for the remainder of the season. The driver may have any points for the night taken away. Drivers on Probation can be subject to double penalty points for the remainder of the season.


If a driver receives 30 points for a season they will be suspended from the rest of the season of the League they have the highest attendance record in. Meaning, if you have an attendance record of 85% in Gr.4 series and a record of 100% Gr.3 series, you are suspended from the remainder of the season in Gr.3 series. You will be placed on a FINAL probation for ALL OTHER SERIES for 30 days.


30 day Final probations are your final chance. During this time your driving will be heavily critiqued. If we feel that you have done your very best and cleaned up your driving enough, we will lift the probation and you will start at 0 points. We ask that you reach out to any BOD member for some 1 on 1 training to help you learn what you are doing wrong and understand what you need to do in the future.


If you violate your Final probation period, you will be suspended from ALL ARL ACTIVITIES, for 30 days.

If you decide to race again after your 30 day Suspension and you recieve 30 points again, we will suspend you indefinitely from ARL.
