GTP Online Racing Bureau (GTP ORB) Now Hiring!

[gogatrs]

Does this mean we're moving on to the next one?

More specific please!

 

[CAM]

So is my penalty system okay?

 

[JLawrence]

I dont like a points deduction.
I'd be up for:
Warning
No qualifying/wait 10 seconds to start or something akin to that
Suspension
Dismissal
And I dont much like the idea of kicking someone out of a series, but I suppose it's like the death penalty, a good motivation to keep it together.

 

[CAM]

Yeah you need to have dismissal there, just in case. And we can let gatrs decide, it just has to be easy for me to enforce, which a small point deduction would be.

 

[Downhill Dino]

More specific please!

The next topic on the ideas list. Next up is Approved Course Creator Tracks. Sorry for being unspecific.

 

[JLawrence]

Ok. Well lets let the penalties rest till Gatrs can give the final word.

Approved courses. Uhm, wouldn't that be just as simple as sharing a possible course with the board and then having a quick test/vote?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Yeah pretty much. I don't see anything else going on with it. Other then testing different kinds of cars to get a better idea of what it could be for.

 

[CAM]

Yeah I just say we give the A-Okay now and develop them as we go. Easy. Maybe we could form a little time trial series (less formal than the WRS) every week/month with one of the said tracks. We could split up that responsibilty, or I could do it, other than the making the tracks part (all of mine are crap ).

 

[Downhill Dino]

Sounds reasonable. Who's going to test them though? A board member?

Once this kicks off, I'm going to have to get some of my tracks tested. I have pretty good ones.

 

[JLawrence]

I'd volunteer for that. I love driving created tracks, and I have a good idea of what a good race course should feel like, and what sort of cars they may favor, so I could write in a recommendation for the type of racing to take place there as well

 

[CAM]

Yeah, someone on that list will want to do it. I would like to run the Time Trial thing, if that's okay. So that means, I'm the first judge, PR guy, and time trial runner if that works. I probably shouldn't volunteer for anything else .

 

[Downhill Dino]

Off-topic: Kinda hard to make a good track due to all the hills and such.
Some corners, especially those blind-entering ones, can really mess up your track "rating."

I may sound ignorant from lack of use, but wouldn't you just set the Elevation Change setting lower to eliminate that problem?

 

[Downhill Dino]

There's an elevation change option?! I feel stupid now.

 

[JLawrence]

Indeed.
And elevation is less of a track killer on the Eifel circuit than on tarmac.

 

[CAM]

I remember there being one if I'm not mistaken, although I haven't used it in months.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Indeed.

You mean Toscana Tarmac?

 

[JLawrence]

Mhmm.
The elevation changes are much more smooth on the circuit than Toscana

 

[CAM]

Gatrs must be a busy man, he's been online this whole time and we've only got one or two posts! He must be like Elvis .

 

[Downhill Dino]

Maye he's busy, he's posting via mobile phone. Or just slow load times.

 

[CAM]

No big deal, we will get it done.

 

[MitchZ06]

Considering this is a governing body we shouldn't really have to wait for one person (to his credit this thing is his idea) to say yes or no about something. We should just nut it out until we have 2 or 3 ideas, then vote on it as it'd be more democratic.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Wise words from Mitch. I forgot about that. Now, where were we?

 

[CAM]

Okay, but we can't update the OP without him. So should we vote on my penalty system. The one I posted will work best for me.

 

[Downhill Dino]

My vote for your penalty system. Short, sweet, and simple.

 

[CAM]

Just in case someone didn't see, this is my idea:

And the easiest thing for me to enforce would be:

1. Warning
2. Points Deduction
3. Race Suspension
4. Dismissal from Series

👍

 

[JLawrence]

Minus the points reduction I'd vote for it.
I still say replace that with a late start or something.

 

[CAM]

How would I/we enforce that?

 

[gogatrs]

Gatrs must be a busy man, he's been online this whole time and we've only got one or two posts! He must be like Elvis .

Haha, I've been watching a movie.
I've skimmed through at the boring parts lol.

I also like Mitch's idea.
I'll update the OP later tonight.

If we want to use Cam's idea, I'm fine with that.
But there will always be a unique situation where we can't follow a set penalty/the set penalty is suitable.
I think that there should be a list of penalties that the judge(s) can choose from, then they choose which penalty fits the best.
Just my two cents.

 

[CAM]

You wanna update the OP? And we can go ahead and decide the rest of this tonight I think.
