Can I make it to the race, guys

 

[DesertPenguin]

You make 16 and we are now full grid!

 

[Alan_2134]

I hope we dont have lag or disconnect

 

[Dylan]

So I'm out?

 

[DesertPenguin]

No you're included in the 16. I updated the confirmation post on the previous page. There are 16 Yes votes

Ok cool!

Side note: Are you sure you want me in Pro? I haven't even driven since the Nurbürgring 24.

 

[DesertPenguin]

We'll see. For tonight just qualify where you do and we'll give you a placement based on your performance. I know you're usually fast so I put you there.

Running a little late, room will be up in a minute or two

 

[LANAtron]

DC... Ugh

 

[DesertPenguin]

DC... Ugh

That sucks man. How was the race going so far?

 

[LANAtron]

Intense! I was sandwiched front and back between two cars going hard and then boom disconnect. My internet went out. Sigh... I'm sorry

 

[DesertPenguin]

No worries, it happens. I look forward to watching the replay tomorrow after Formula 1 Qualifying at Hockemheim for the German GP 👍

 

[Pigems]

That was a fun race, it came right down to the final corner too!! Thanks for the great battle @Dylan

 

[TetsuKobura]

Comeback of the Season nomination for me. Very fun race and glad my adapted strategy after the unfortunate contact paid off.

 

[Alan_2134]

My least favorite track is Suzuka circuit because I try to be fast around this track but, I spun out or hit the wall. I never be faster than anyone here but, I will do my best to stay on lead lap.

 

[Pigems]

Here’s the last couple laps from my point of view.

 

[DesertPenguin]

If you still need a Blancpain GT3 fix, the 24 Hours of Spa race is about to start!

Lap 14 restart summed up in one photo. You know who you are.

Why did we restart anyways? I meant to ask that last night. I didn’t realize that sort of thing happens in these races, that’s good to know for the future.

Please read through every section of the first post to familiarize yourself with these things just in case it's needed.

• Cautions and Restarts can be called only if incidents involving at least three cars occurs at the following situations:
• If during the race start up until the first two corners, a Race Restart can be called. All cars involved must type C in the in-game chat, at which point the race director will type out R to signal a race restart.
• If at any point in the race besides the race start and the final lap, a Caution Period can be called. All cars involved must type C in the in-game chat, at which point the race director will type out C to signal the start of the caution.
• Race Restarts can only be done up to two times every race. Any race start incidents during the second restart will only result in a Caution Period.
• Caution Periods will last only two laps, the current lap followed by one full caution lap.
• Pace speed under caution is 80mph/130kph. Cars are expected to drive single-file, giving adequate space to the cars ahead until close to the restart.
• Restarts from caution are single file, and race leader can accelerate back to racing speed at anytime in the designated restart zone.

I wasn't there but I'm assuming three cars were involved in an incident.

Actually the incident had only two people call C. I can't find right now if three were involved, but I do know that it was indeed called for (at least) 2.

In a lot of leagues nowadays, people have some form of a safety car to bunch up the field in case something were to happen to multiple competitors. It's one of the main reasons why I do this over FIA.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I won't say it shouldn't have been called, but it really depends on the situation and everyone being on the same page. Good job guys for getting it done with the proper protocol. If there were any issues please bring them up so we can have it sorted for next time. Before each race I will post here with pictures showing what the designated restart zone is.

Scores have been updated. I'm just waiting for a replay to get Fastest Lap for Am Division. @Kross24 Did you disconnect like damon and LANA?

 

[TetsuKobura]

Looking at the scoring, 5zigen is ORIGINALS-14 by the way.

I just shared the replay for you, it’s tagged GTP, IRS and Blancpain.

Edit: It’s still uploading.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Thanks, I was a bit confused at first. I have just updated it with that name as well.

I don't think it will work. Aceboy told me his was too big to upload.

That must be what’s going on then, it keeps canceling at 33%. I’ll grab you a screen shot of the timing sheet from the end of the race.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I already have all of that data, thanks though. What I need is for someone to skip to when the last car is about to cross the line, jump over to the Live Timing screen and see which Am driver has the fastest best lap.

Ah ok, this screen?
