Some race photos from last night.

Edit: This was the battle between @DesertPenguin and myself, it took us 10 full laps for to finally settle it, what a fun race!

 

[Herimopp89]

Do we know a time of day for Bathurst?

Next your gonna be asking for a lap count too huh?! I'll fill out today

 

[Alan_2134]

@DesertPenguin i will quit this series so, no one be mad about lapped same car and I’m too slow for you guys.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I messaged you privately about the matter. We're sad to see you go.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'm confirming

What happened? You never showed up last night.

 

[Pigems]

I don’t know why you guys were getting mad at Allan last night, that accident wasn’t his fault at all. @TetsuKobura had all the room in the world to go around him to the left, but instead he drove right into the back of him without even lifting. Where was Allan supposed to go here?



If anything, it’s Allan who should be upset for getting punted off and then on top of that he gets harassed for it. That’s not right at all, you pro drivers have more than enough speed and skill to get around a slower driver cleanly and without incident. I got bump passed by one of you at Monza and it drove me right off the road too. Just because it’s lapped traffic doesn’t mean you can just barge your way through without care for the driver your passing.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Pigems, he raced me for position at Turn 1 when I was trying to race you. We're not Pro drivers. It's on the lapped driver to drive a proper line so the other drivers can safely know how and when to get around.

Allan hugged the inside the whole way around T1 there and then the other guy either intentionally punted him or attempted to pinch him off the track, it was one or the other. There was absolutely no attempt made to go around Allan in that clip, Zero. He had all the room in the world on the left to make a clean pass.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'm not going to argue this back and forth. It's been a recurring issue in previous series and we had to finally make a decision about it here because it affects reserve drivers and their ability to have a spot in a proper race.

 

[Pigems]

...

 

[DesertPenguin]

They have been spoken to and we are all moving on from this situation with a better understanding of how to handle lap traffic. No one asked Alan to leave. That was entirely his decision.

With all that out of the way, let's blow up @aceboy127's IROC series tonight!

Just a reminder, next week is the final week of the first part of the season. We are off the week after.

 

[LANAtron]

Race week! Oh wait, that's every week. Bathurst hype.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Race week! Oh wait, that's every week. Bathurst hype.

Except next week. That's our summer break

 

[LANAtron]

If a full time seat ever opens up I would love the opportunity to fill it. Friday nights are perfect for me (meaning I have no life).

 

[DesertPenguin]

I have you as auto-confirmed each week as the first reserve so if a single person can't show up you are instantly subbed in.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I said my PS4 is broken still waiting for return... I'll sound my self when I'll be able to race...

What are the details? Is it literally in the mail and you're tracking it? What's the estimated delivery date?

@Rob Pardun can you race this week? We need more Am drivers!

 

[LANAtron]

You're the best DP, thanks!

 

[Herimopp89]

We need more Am drivers!

[DesertPenguin]

[Herimopp89]

[DesertPenguin]

Okay you got it buddy 👍

 

[DesertPenguin]

I have updated the points standing post with the Team Championship. Sorry that took so long.

 

[Jeeves_ACBC]

@LANAtron I will switch with you. Since I've already missed the first 3 rounds, I can switch to be a reserve driver and let you take my perminant spot.

 

[DesertPenguin]

That's very nice of you. I'll make the changes.

 

[LANAtron]

That is very nice of you, thank you sir! I will run a J on my livery in your honor!

 

[TetsuKobura]

You really wanna destroy aceboy that bad?

 

[aceboy127]

You really wanna destroy aceboy that bad?

Oh, he absolutely would destroy me every week.

Series Update​

Pro Division must run with yellow headlights and Am Division must run with white headlights. This will help distinguish who is behind you. Drivers seeking to overtake lap traffic are encouraged to flash their headlights to signal their presence and when they will go for the overtake. This should help create safer driving for everyone.

Also, we are racing at 05:30 track time, just like the real world Bathurst 12 Hour Race. Should be a fun one on the mountain!
