How did you spin last night? Just too eager on the throttle?

Not yet. Watching the 24H Daytona. It updates instantly when we edit the sheets in the thread so if you're ever curious all you have to do is refresh the first page and you'll see if anything changed.

Consistency is what won this race. @The Gran Finale made a small mistake early on that allowed me to pass him into the lead, but for 68 laps I made zero errors. Not one!
These are my times as well. Only difference is I had no damage, so only pit once during the race.

Series Announcement
After the first three races we've had our first promotion/relegation meeting. I'd like to formally congratulate @The Gran Finale and @BGCaligula on their promotion into the Pro Division. You guys truly earned it. Humbly taking their place in the Am Division will be @aceboy127 and @bloodyboyblue with the agreement that closer racing will be had for all involved. We all look forward to your continued racing at Laguna Seca!
P.S. - Scores have been updated.

I have reached out to @TetsuKobura about becoming the full time host. The floor is now open for any Pro driver to volunteer as Pro Lobby Host and/or Back-Up Host.
Edit: Tetsu will take over as host and damon will remain the back up

Shouldn't there be some sort of ratioed shift of points for the four drivers that have changed classes? 65 pts in AM shouldn't equal 65 pts in PRO, and likewise 16 pts in PRO shouldn't equal 16 pts in AM.

Yep, a lot more work to do now that we’re with the big boys! Should be good fun though.
Also, may I throw in a suggestion for how to change the points for those who moved divisions? Do it based on overall race time and slot each driver in where they would have finished, but don’t bump anyone down. For example if my overall race time was good enough for say, 10th in Barcelona, award me points for 10th, but also still award the driver who actually finished 10th the same amount of points. I didn’t really beat them, so it would be unfair, imo, for them to drop to 11th.

Things like FCY can affect overall time though since their occurrences vary between each lobby.

Were there any FCY's in the first three races for Pro?

Not that I can think of but you also have the oace lap which can vary greatly

Ah, we can take the time to subtract the pace laps from the overall time. It's arduous but not impossible

Yes. Arduous and painstaking but not impossible. Find when the driver hits the gas, mark the time, subtract total seconds from their finishing time. It's annoying but it's only three races and two drivers so we only have to do these six times and that's it.

Counting overall times among multiple lobbies to determine finishing positions in this instance may work, but it's not future-proof. One can very easily be moved from PRO to AM or vice versa next season (assuming there is one), but not be feasible due to the possibility of having safety car periods in those races. These things must be considered to avoid future headaches and inconsistency in how the series is operated.

The IRS driver rankings have had a few changes in the way they update since last changed so we shouldn't have any problems in the future with people being mistakenly classified. Of course things can happen, so we're in discussions for dealing with this in the future if need be.
