I have the same results as ByGGy

 

[cicua]

You are absolutely right. It seems I have taken the results from end of lap 9

Sorry about that, fixing it now. Thanks 👍

Edit: Done.

Just to give people a heads up;
When exiting the pits at Daytona road course, be sure to stay left and use the extended pit lane. Join the track after turn 1.
DONT JOIN THE TRACK IN TURN 1
If anyone is unsure , please join pal1 and ask a steward to show you. I will post a YouTube link later.

Cicua,

I think the RX7 '04 at 70kg ballast (mine) should have 525PP, not 524PP.

Couple of other points.
Currently in the total standings, people are still getting the bonus points for the deducted 2 races. I think all points should be deducted for the 2 races not counted in the final standings.

I alos think Paginas should get 10kg and Falc 20kg from Monza as Paginas will most likely finish 4th in the event due to the tire DQ in the sprint race.

Excellent decision.

Turn 1 is one of the most difficult corner in GT5 as is. If getting cars exiting the pits in mix too, its disaster written on the wall.

You are right, sorry. Measured it on my own car but forgot I had decreased aero. Car specs updated now.

Yeah I also thought so, but the seasoned guys taught me otherwise

This is how we do it, apparently.

No, ballast is always determined from the provisional results, so they can be determined immediately after the race. You can not wait until wednesday knowing what you have. It also means that if you cheat your way to a good finish you are punished doubly.

So that is actually a very conscious decision.

If I may add, everyone should practice driving that pit exit lane.

The first few times you will likely damage your car on the wall!

Makes perfect sense.
With the ballast, it is awarded on provisional results, then time penalties and DQ's are added 👍

Where are the over all standings? Need to work out who my main rivals are.

Ty.
So am I looking at points total or points counting?

Points total is the final score 👍

That is why you are at top, even though your race points are slightly below maxking, but you have many more bonus points.

Round 7 points are still only provisional (until all issues are closed), that is why the championship standings only go to round 6 yet.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Ok very good. Thanks

Blah, I hate this ballast rule/

For the last race can we scrap it or at least half it?

This is my second to last race I will be doing in this championship, and it has to be a NSX track again! OK8 will win here, you heard it here first! x

 

[cicua]

Moaning over NSX tracks is one thing, if we could just have a similar amount of cheering when we get to Monaco

There was some talk long ago about scrapping all ballast for the last race, can not remember if that is the rule or how it ended.

 

[Sail IC]

Any news on what track will be used for last race 10, the race after Monaco

 

[OK8]

Nürburgring 24h!!!!!!!

Just kidding, no idea. Hope it'll be a world circuit though.

 

[cicua]

There will probably not be any Twin Ring Motegi in 2 weeks.

I'm still all for Tsukuba. Maybe we should take a vote.

I'm with you. Tsukuba. The cars with more ballast won't have a long straight to deal with.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Anything but Tsukuba!

[MajikTom]

Nono Papa, Tsukuba Non! Trial Mountain would be interestingly cool, but if World Circuit only, then Tokyo is almost called for.
PS> Us NSXes were crying the whole beginning of the season with NSX unfriendly tracks, we gotta have a few, eh?

 

[Wardez]

It has to be Suzuka. We're [the staff] currently debating what the track should be in an auxiliary message board.

 

[XsApollo]

Tokyo would be my choice 👍

Suzuka would be good also.

 

[pLc2563]

So let me see if I got this right after monaco there is still ten more races??????

No.
After the Monaco race, there is 1 more regular season round. It will be round 10 and we are just trying to decide where to race for it.

Ok got ya but how many from both pal and ntsc go on
