Oh ok that makes sense. That's quite a decrease you got there.

 

[MC CAULEY]

I think if you keep two wheels over, on or within the cerbs apex (the red and white things) you're doing it right. Not the tracks apex but the cerbs. Im not a race car driver. I've just watch alot of F1 over the years.

 

[Downhill Dino]

So what should be rule then? 2 wheels or none at all?

So we are looking at no green is this case right? That would make sense.

 

[Downhill Dino]

So is there going to be a server open tonight? I want need some practice racing against you guys to know how bad or good I am.

 

[bermudakid]

I'll post you guys rules for minds chicanes later when I get home

 

[Jav]

Don't over complicate things. No wheels over the blue paint for the 2nd chicane and no more than 2 wheels over the green for the rest. That covers everything.
Ohh and by the way the curbs are part of the track.

 

[Downhill Dino]

What if someone is pushed into that area? Specifically on that chicane. It's going to happen.

I'm not an official on the series by any means. But use common sense guys. We are all gonna miss a braking mark once or twice and will be left with no choice but to straight line the chicane. As long as no position or advantage is gained you just keep on going about your bussines. If a possition is gained as a result or a possition is kept as a result you must give the possition back or conceed the possition depending on the case.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Alright, I should've thought of that.

 

[bermudakid]

Yea guys,

as long as you are not hitting the black & yellow speed bumps you are doing it right.

2 wheels on the track @ all times, & no hitting the speed bumps. I mean in real life you hit one of those @ 50+ mph and you car is toast.

As for the corner that is all green, as long as 2 wheels are on the track you are Fine.

You should never get close to the blue paint in the 2nd chicane.

Now if you make a mistake and miss your braking point and go through that is fine as long as you dont gain any positions out of it. If you do you hve to give up that position.

ill edit the OP later

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

I always like heading to monza because it means I only have to memorise, what, five or six breaking points?

 

[GT5_X2010]

watch out for the braking markers at this track is my word of advice. I hit one at 300+ in an X2010 and i went backwards as a result. They stay perfectly still, I mean wtf are they made of in this game?

 

[SebVettelFan]

What about if a situation occurs like webber vs hulkenburg last season. Hulkenburg stayed in front of webber but missed the braking point 2 or 3 times, but because he could cut the chicane he stayed infront and hardly lost any time. It isn't a matter of gaining position, but failure to lose a position as a result of an error. I may be getting a bit complicated but it comes down to a simple question. if someone is under pressure from behind and outbreaks themselves and cuts the chicane and stays infront should they be forced to concede position or can they keep going?

In that case you need to give the possition up as you went off track in order to protect it.

Wed lobby open now.

1472-6399-8365-2930-0601

ill also have the spreadsheet with standings uploaded here soon. Big thanks to Mike for putting that together. 👍

 

[GT5_X2010]

im actually getting exited waiting for these spreadsheets to come up. OOO cant wait. I hope the colours are very bright and stunning. It needs to make people go to the thread, see it and say i want to be a part of this championship. It could end up rivalling the loads of Super GTs if we get the regulations spot on. Id like to see this instead of Super GT. LMP is so much more exciting. High speed races and crashes and more overtakes.

 

[Downhill Dino]

The intensity of of pitstops too.

 

[jakegirard]

sorry guys, but I won't be able to race Saturday. My grandfather's wake is that day at noon.

 

[AllinWitJT]

Condolences Jake.

 

[bermudakid]

Sorry to hear that Jake, you have my condolences.


I will miss tomorrows race @ Monza. I'm going to ST Pete FL to see the Indy Car Race this weekend. ( I'm not gonna miss anymore cool races in FL , I should have gone to Sebring. )

MiketheHockeyFan is going to host, You can all still join my lounge as usual but he will be the host.

Track - Monza weather Version

Qualifying Race will be 3 Laps instead of 2 - Qualifying Race starts @ 2:20

Monza will be 38 Laps (37 after the Pace Lap) - Race will start @ 2:30 est Time

Leader will go green when they reach the beginning of the Pit Wall on the right.

Dont Cut the Chicanes - 2 wheels on the track at all times.
My rule is you are only allowed to touch the yellow & black speed bumps in the chicanes. Not have half your LMP roll over them.

The green paint going into Ascari you are allowed to cut as long as you have 2 wheels on the Track

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

I will have my mic on tomorrow (I guess no blasting 'Danger Zone' during the warmup lap) to help organize things, but everyone knows the drill by now.

Try not to join Bermuda's lounge before 2:00 PM EST on the dot so I am the first guy in the louge.

Otherwise, raceday as normal. See you folks then.

 

[bermudakid]

I have also updated the OP with penalties, overtaking & standings.

The spreadsheets are posted & there is a link to the google document

I'm thinking of renaming the championship to the "GT-Planet Le Mans Series"

 

[GT5_X2010]

the points in the spreadsheet have strange gaps between numbers. 35,30, 26, 21, 20, 17. i mean it drops 5, then 4 then 5 then 1 then 3. Also they dont match OP

what are you talking about? ?????????????

Nashy didnt qualify he started last, thats why he only got 3 bonus points not 2, the reason why the gap between me and him is only 1.

 

[AllinWitJT]

What does POD mean on the spreadsheets? They look real nice and are legit. Thanks.
