GTP Nascar Nationwide Series | Series Champion: OwensRacing

[The Bman]

Niop was 1st, I was 7th. That's all I know.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

I’d say re-run the race next week.

 

[neljack]

I came back and saw everyone DC'd :S

Dont forget my points

 

[neljack]

I’d say re-run the race next week.

Yeah Im clearly gonna be bias as I had to leave but today with PD n'all has been a mess

 

[OwensRacing]

I’d say re-run the race next week.

This!


However I'm ok with moving on even if I lost 3rd over pit stops.

 

[Chqr]

I’d say re-run the race next week.

I'd say half points.

 

[RedPartyhat]

I coulda won had I not pit lol

 

[The Bman]

It was past halfway. I say it's official.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Yet another case of the super-quick one by one disconnections? They always seem to start with the host, and then disconnect everyone else in the order they joined the room.

We were past halfway when the server exploded again.

I can call the race official and this will be the final result, or we can rerun this next week. It all depends on if the Sprint Cup race is able to be run or not. If the Cup race goes on, this is official, if the Cup race is postponed, we will rerun.

 

[OwensRacing]

Sweet. I'm off to enjoy the sunny cold day.

Seems reasonable.

 

[Chqr]

Annoying race for me.

Running in 5th.

Akmuq spins by himself in the last chicane. I slam into him but take 4th.
RPH followed by neljack take the inside along the straight and I'm hung out to dry.
I go as low I possibly could to avoid contact and I steer off into the astroturf falling to 11th.
Then with a scrap with Dave, I fall down to 13th.

Then by getting an undercut managed to claw all the way back to 8th.

I'll cash that in.

 

[neljack]

I spose seeing what SC does is fair, and everyones entitled to their opinion Chqr no worries, this isnt TOCA

 

[Müle]

I'd call it official, but if Sprint Cup is postponed, it messes the schedule up completely.

Before today, everything was aligned perfectly. I want to keep it that way.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

I'd say vote via a poll.

 

[Chqr]

I'd say ask the five team owners.

 

[neljack]

Dont think poll would work we all clearly have different opinions.

5 team owners would be fairer of the 2 👍

 

[Müle]

What happens with Nationwide depends entirely on what happens with Sprint Cup.

 

[Adrenaline]

This is my opinion, it is not directed at MULE, but at us as a 'whole'.

Why should Sprint Cup decide whether the race was official? It either is or it isn't, their schedule should not dramatically effect the outcome of our series. We knew an hour ahead of time, there were server issues, we waited 2 hours, and the decision was made to go ahead with the race. We even postponed(cancelled?) The All star race. We entered knowing the unstable condition of the servers, because there were multiple d/c's, inability to connect, black screens and game freezes before qualifying even got started.

Knowing all of that, the choice was made to go ahead with the race. If we were just going to run the race at a different date, then we should have never even entered the course. And that should have been decided at or by our scheduled start time. We have to commit to the decision that was made, not change our mind based on the outcome.

I'm curious... had there been a 'lag issue' where due to server issues, certain people lagged, causing a wreck (regardless of cars involved), would the race be re-run in that situation too? A server issue is a server issue, regardless of the outcome, and would need to be treated the same way.

I'm sure I'm probably in the minority, and that's fine. Not looking to begin an argument or debate, just stating my opinion.

 

[gokartman78]

I would quite like the results to stand, although we might need to find out who did fastest lap, and that means people need to be honest

I did a 0:49.63 on lap 28/9 and Niop pulled away from me on that lap (i was right on his bumper and he pulled 2/3 car lengths) so i'm assuming he did a .4 or .3

 

[Müle]

Why should Sprint Cup decide whether the race was official?

Because one of the things people said to me when I was making the schedule was that they wanted more races where Sprint Cup and Nationwide raced at the same track on the same week. I managed to get half of our races lined up perfectly, including the finale. I don't want it to be messed up because of PD's server issue.

From the looks of tings, we're going to at least try to run the SC race if the issues are fixed, but there's still no guarantees. Nothing is set in stone right now.

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Müle]

Absolutely nothing wrong with sharing opinions.

 

[neljack]

I see no harm in racing next week, as MULE i think you said theres always gonna be someone cheesed off in this suituation sadly :/.

Imagine if SC goes a head and the same happens? It'll all be a case of "I told ya so" etc etc

Let's all have a maths debate and enjoy what life has to offer us.

 

[RedPartyhat]

Sprint Cup looks postponed so it'd appear that the results for this race are voided

 

[Furinkazen]

That makes no sense... Shall I just go and void Truck results? 👎

 

[cgr-10]

They didn't finish the race, how does it not make sense?

 

[Adrenaline]

The fact that Sprint Cup didn't even TRY, even further makes me feel it's irrelevant to our case. If schedule is that important, then Sprint Cup should run their Suzuka East race, as the last race of the year.
