IRS | Toyota 86 Racing Series | Mondays 9p EST | BIG FINALE TONIGHT: Dragon Trail - Seaside II

Season 4 is in the books and what a season it was! I'll have a write up but probably bit shorter now that things have settled in quite a bit. Scores should be up soon as well. Big change ups with these last races at Tokyo so I'm curious so see where everyone falls.
 
Thanks for the invite Penguin. I'll be honest these two weeks have made buying gt sport worth it. I could never really get into Pcars leagues, they just felt so meh on the fun factor.

Last night I almost exploded with how close I got to beating Herimo. Which in reflection is a good thing and shows to how close the racing was. its funny now looking at the table I had no idea who was in what position in standings or anything and it was fun!

Thank you very much for having me and looking forward to racing with the group later.

That last race was amazing fro...we were going at it for 4 or 5 laps and nothing dirty about it at all...
 
We have a few IRs to look at so that will be taken care of tonight and scores should be up tomorrow.

yo it was so intense. I wasn't really paying attention to names or anything when I was racing until the 2nd time you passed me and I looked up. Like ohhhh thats the guy that put almost 8 seconds on me at RBR haha.

Kudos man that outside run was incredible idk how you pulled it off but you did.
 
We had to hand out some penalties in the last round and scores are being tallied for adjustments. I'd like to say it will be up tonight but if not don't worry, it will be in the next day or two. The fact that no one is asking for it is nice. This series isn't so much about the points as it is about growing as a driver and being able to respect your fellow driver for side by side action. Thank you to everyone for showing up each week and making this what it is today. :cheers:
 
Scores Updated

Please excuse the slight out of order overall rankings. There was a mix-up with the scorekeeper in removing the lowest scoring week when we dropped that this season. Numbers are correct, just slightly out of order.
 
Like i said to DP last season will most likely be my last full season for a while they changed my hours at work for the time being...i will try my best to hop in here and there...

Back on Topic, Peng, I plan to enter Season 5 of the series.

Right on man! What number will you be using? Hey @Alan_2134 did you look into your network settings?

Hey everyone. I'm going to host a test session this Wednesday at 9pm EST. I'd like to use Special Stage Route X to properly test draft settings. I'd like to ask the group again about damage. How does everyone feel about reducing it from heavy to light? We can practice race starts on tight tracks to see what people think. Any heavy contact will still create damage and you'll be penalized with the slower car, but your race isn't over. There are incidents where the innocent car receives damage while the guilty one does not and is able to continue racing while the innocent driver has to pit and lose time. I'd like to remove that situation from ever being able to happen. Yes, penalties can be handed out after the race but that doesn't help anyone in the moment. Lastly, I'm considering raising tire wear to x2. They will last the full race no problem but someone who slides around a lot or makes mistakes may lose a slight advantage over someone who doesn't and those last laps will be a bit more interesting. Discuss here and on Wednesday night in game chat.

I've also been thinking about special events now that settings are almost 100% sorted. Assuming this week is the last test session, I'd like to have a special event in between Seasons 5 and 6. Something longer to use the longer tracks and have a 1-2 stop race. Something like a 40 minute race, Tire Wear x 3 to make them really rough at the end or take fresh tires when you pit for fuel which is set at x3 to last roughly 32 minutes. We will test, because Tires x4 might be better. With Tires x4 you may want to pit for tires before fuel runs out, thus changing strategies based on how long you can make tires last vs how long you want to spend refueling. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe even a multi-class 86 GRMN/86 Gr. 4 type thing?
 
I personally really like the heavy damage. It can be incredibly frustrating, but it adds to the experience in my opinion.

I also like multi-class races, but I don’t think we could safely run events like that on shorter tracks.

Also longer races where pits are required with multiple tire options would be a plus for me!
