Well that was an awful race for me, start was ok dropping you guys with meds. Worked hard to pass TnT but went to heavy into the 1st chicane and spun it.
Then the interesting stuff happened, it was hard to pass you med guys with all of you having draft. I finally managed to get through and thought i might get away again but you all decided to fight me hard which slowed us all down to be fair. If you would of just followed me instead of trying to pass you would of been running faster laps than what most of the guys ahead would of done with meds. Instead we had a back and forth draft battle and slow corners slowing us all down in the end.
Oh well i had no internet all week and about 6 laps practice with no setup time so was twitchy in the bends.
See you all next week hopefully.

Race Results will be delayed folks.
We have an incident involved Seth and Willfred to resolve.
We also have afew drivers who failed to use the medium compound to be dealt with.
Results won't be available until tomorrow at the earliest. (When I can think straight to sort it out)

Me and Zach are debating your case now because we agree that you did show up and day light savings not happening in your time zone is not your fault!

Under consideration of the rules and that breaking the tyre rule was not explicitly stated in the penalties ( the closest it came to was Using a car that failures to meet the regulations (e.g. Using an illegal engine upgrade) will result in you being disqualified from the event)
We have decided to generate a specific time penalty for failure to use both compounds of tyres. It is by far the biggest penalty that can be awarded.
Anybody who fails to comply with using both compounds will receive a 40s time penalty. This was devised by having the standard pit time of 25s plus 8x2s of the slower medium tyre. (Yes I know that's 41s)
Joetruckv8 will be hit by the 40s time penalty.
One other driver is yet to explain himself/provide evidence of the medium tyres.
It was felt disqualification will likely put drivers off ever racing with us again.
Btw the penalty puts Joe in last place of everyone to complete the race. So it's not as though we trying to make it easy lol. He's gone from 3rd to last

I agree. DQ is in order if you dont follow the rules IMO.

Ill send pm to all the stewards asking them if they prefer DQ vs 40 sec penalty. I take it I have Seth and Bazzer's vote already.

Nothing personal but thats what it was last season if you did something against the rules that 'big'. I know we didnt run two compounds but if the punishment is a time penalty there still may be an advantage. It could be back of the pack but what happens if its more than one offender? Give you all last place points? I think you should get some points because you finished the race. But perhaps 10th place points for the two who didnt use mediums?

Your point has been made here so us stewards will take a vote on it. Imo if I had to go down the pits again to get softs my delta time would be 30 to 40 secs. If you want to be extra technical yea softs are about 1.5 secs a lap faster then so times 8 laps minimum 12 secs easy. If you want we an make it even 60 secs for that matter. My main objective is to create a series were people want to race and if drivers knock out a weeks worth of practice just to receive nothing in the end because they made a mistake they would leave the series. We have timed penalty's for every infringement so I don't see why we don't have a time penalty for failure to meet the tire rule. But it wont be up to me it will be up to all the stewards voting on it. You made a comment on something that big. Accidentally not grabbing tires doesn't seem like something huge, now me ramming somebody off the rode and completely ruining their race is something huge and we still draw up an incident report and tax him time penalty at the end of the day. It's not my fault that only 10 drivers showed up for this round so last place is is still a handful of points. I didn't ruin anybody's race it was a mistake that I and maybe another driver will do in the future. I believe a DQ should be something for a problem driver making beef with everyone on the track and ruining several drivers races.
Btw: Phil is awarded last place points for showing up, it is not his fault that the op race start time did not include Bst. Another adjustment to be made in the never ending op build up process.

Dramatic round Monza was 
King it was understandable you made a mistake being a newbie to the series but dont quit , I hope you will return .
Indy Road will be interesting , I think its our first time at that circuit , let me know some lap times later guys.
Just thinking too if Cam and Pepsi were there last night it would of been an even better race

If its a bad connection I don't blame anyone, However in this case I actually can see why Seth would be cross.
And Joe, if it's not an issue, please delete my points for the all rounds so far.
I'm not going to bother with driver points, so no need to add any up for me.
