Race at Apricot Hill cancelled since apparently no one reads PSN messages, or remember the times therein. Season finale at Daytona next Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. EDT. Lord have mercy if I have to cancel that.

I thought it started in an hour? Sorry, still trying to get my head around converting the times to my time zone...
 
Created a poll and I hope everyone votes. Could be big.
 
For the championship race Saturday night, we will have a three abreast rolling start in honor of the recently passed IRG founder Oliver Germain. All drivers participating are welcome to use the carbon colored chassis or wear the black Alpinestars racing suit with the helmet of your choice. I hope to see everyone there Saturday.
 
Current Finale Entry List:
1: #7-BRRT_Angel
2: #33-NearFear (room host)
3: #73-Windfire1010
4: #76-NinjitsuEvolved
5: #2-Alan_2134
6: #50-smith1001

Please add your PSN to the list if you are racing.
 
With the championship down to double points at Daytona, only three are technically capable of winning the championship; Windfire1010, BRRT_Angel, and FearNear. However, since the latter withdrew from the series, 11 points is the difference.
 
That was lots of fun. Wanna thank Alan for being a good sport about everything that went on in the back of the pack. To bad we couldn't draft,& do something on that G-W-C finish.

Well, we aren't exactly using the Junior next season. We're finding the hit boxes to be more hindering than anything. So we will be using an untuned X2014 Standard instead next season. It's horsepower will be limited to 50%, or 419 horsepower.
 
Congrats to Windfire1010 for his win tonight as well as the championship. Very well done. Time to take a break, prepare for TBICS's Indy 500, and then start again
 
NEWS: Some radical changes will take place starting next season. Aside from switching to the X2014 Standard at 419 horsepower, the numbering system will also be different. Where as it was based on TBICS driver numbers, it will now be determined by the order of the previous season's championship. Example-Windfire1010 as defending driver's champion will use the #1, and I will be using #2. A full list will be posted Sunday.

Is this optional or mandatory?
 
So, as of right now, Indy Lights has 8 signed up for S2, not including the new possible team of three that would bump us to 11 full time.
 
To let everyone know thoroughly why I made my decision to invalidate the race, there were certain issues that took place that were wrong.
1) When the race was restarted with 5 laps to go, it was wrong. The incident between Windfire1010 and BRRT_Angel was a racing incident. Windfire1010 moved to defend the entrance to pit lane while BRRT_Angel was directly behind. The contact there was unnecessary, but unpenalizable as the person behind was forced to try to evade a brake check.
2) BRRT_Angel's decision to create the shootout, although symbolic, was unwarranted and very disruptive to the whole race. The outcome of the original 80 lap race was also tarnished as drivers had already stopped racing before race end, meaning that there were no results available.
3) The incident in question did not qualify for a safety car as only one vehicle received any damage at all. Even if it did, there were enough laps to run a safety car period and resume racing. This was not considered.
4) There were two incidents earlier in the event that required a safety car period that never got called, this was also overlooked at race end.
5) Not all drivers were on the lead lap despite the misconception. There were 2 one lap down, yet they were allow to battle for higher position.
These are the reasons that fairly support my notion of invalidating those results and ordering a new race be done.
 
I take the full extent of the blame placed on me from the race last night. I was trying to keep things together for the sake of the championship battle and I was thinking off of instinct.
 
The switch to the X2014 Standard has been vetoed by the IRG Penalty Review Board. The Red Bull Indy Lights Series will continue using the X2014 Junior for the forseeable future.
 
Based on the current poll results, I've come to the conclusion that there is no decisive conclusion and conclude that we need more votes to decide. ;)

Sorry I missed the start, was shattered after N6H and went for a power nap, when I woke up and came online you guys were already racing. :lol:
 
THREAD UPDATE: Updated thread to include Season 2 driver numbers.
 
should my team the 3 drivers have numbers? we are serious about joining

Got a fortnight yet m8, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be sorted soon... 👍

Just out of curiousity... On the post higher up on this page you have your teams PSN ID's and then your real names... 2 questions...

1) Are those ACTUALLY your real names?
2) What are the odds of three people being on the same team with names like those? I don't mean that being funny or anything either, I just like how it's First Name, First Name-Son (or close enough) for all three... :D

Your drivers will be given numbers based on when they joined. As of right now, those numbers would be 19, 20, 21, and possibly 22.
 
Just to try to revive this thread...Who's ready for Motegi?
