It'd be great to drop two rounds, there's been guys who haven't raced or been able to race every race.

Yeh i basically missed the first 2 rounds , maybe a rule to consider next season .

Dont think the consistent guys would want that rule implemented now .
 
Question, Why am I being slapped with +40 kg even though I'm in third place in the race result. I might have won, but I did incur the penalty hence I didn't actually win. Doesn't make sense to me.
 
You keep your ballast penalty including any other penalties. It was the same way at Nurb GP/F.

You can think of it as a double penalty if you want.

I haven't talked to Joe recently about it, but I got the sense that he'll be doing another season.

I probably won't be co-running it though.
 
It's the usual monza track boundaries questions...

1. Curbs. Are the green unpainted pits of the curb part of the track? No I'm not talking about the green concrete, that isn't part of track. But the raised up curb that's painted red nd white on one half, and green on the other half. It has the seem texture, sound and shape of the curb, so are we calling it a curb?

2. Access road after ascari chicane. Is this allowed to be used? It's out of the white lines, but is allowed in F1, so is it here?

3. Related to 2. Access road after parabolica. Is that allowed to be used? In F1 it isn't..
 
There's a lot of questions to be answered, but I'm at work so I will answer them soon as I get home.

My agenda tonight:
Send Afelin Madrid replay
Create season 2 op
Answer season 1 op questions
Get some Monza laps in
 
The Red and White curbing is considered part of the track. Two wheels past that is fine, four wheels past that is corner cutting. That's always been my take on Monza.

That's my understanding of it. Just want it cleared before people practice/qualify
 
I think the corner outside of Ascari should be legal too, since they say its ok for formula 1 because it lengthens the track. But if everyone else is opposed to this then we will deam it out off bounds. And just like Suzuka pit lane exit line will be inforced here with a 10 sec penalty also.

I'm in favour of it being legal. FiA say there's no advantage to be gained by running wide as it lengthens the track. That's why they allow it lol, so i agree with them :P

Haha glad you mentioned pit exit line. Remember this time Uga!

I say two tires on track side of the white line.
 
Anyone up for some practice? I'm determined to have a better race this week. Not a lot of practice for suzuka and minimal set up = major failure.

Dropped 3 spots in the points :(

Depending how long my insomnia last yeah sure. Just in seths league ATM to try boost numbers but looking like that race will be canceled.

I'm in the 1:52s with my baseline set up. I'm
Guessing fast guys are under 1:50...?

I'm setting low 52s with ballast, mid 51s no ballast. But it's Monday so probably sub 51s/mid 51s target.

Trouble is here, there's not that many corners to lose time lol, so really your first laps won't be the usual second or so slower than the laps to aim for
 
I'd like some of these guys to try their hand in my series!

Haha I might do some Monday races. Depends on uni as I'm still off on Christmas break now lol.

It's fun guys. After 4/5 laps your setting decent times, not outstanding times like the pro guys such as Seth but still...
 
Just had a catch up on the thread, the last race was fun and i was running well until i put an inch of my tyre on the curb and that was me done for, same old story.

And Seth that was me on the first lap, i don't know if you had a bad bend on the run up to the hairpin? I had a massive drive on you and went up the inside and you just turned into me, did you not know I was there?

On another note though, your series looks good and well presented 👍

I totally would dude... I'm probably going to retire from the GTPGT Enduro because I can't handle two series. Since I'm learning every track each week it's a lot to keep up with. And yesterday it rained heavily 3/4 of the race at Spa during the enduro... I was EFFFed.

Maybe lag. I stuck to the left hand side of the track and got tagged. I saw you the whole time. Couldn't go anymore to the left. As for my series, lots of people signed up, but half of them never make it in time or aren't able to keep their commitments.
 
Seth, Tyler, and Zach Monza Practice. Very fun, very close. I hope the race is just as good.

Seth +.042 after a 5 lapper.

File is zipped so I'm assuming you would have to save it to your thumb drive and play it on GT5 my room mate is telling me?,.

Yeah. You'll unzip it onto a thumb drive and copy the data to your GT5.

GT5 needs a share upload like they do for photos to gran-tourismo.com
 
TAYLERJ and or BLAZZER
Both of you are running the Lexus and can get the car to track much faster than I can. I realize some of that is pure driving skill but I want to understand how much is driver and how much is equipment setup. It is difficult in this series to get anyone to share information which I find rather interesting. Would you be willing to share your setup information to a downtrodden and misfortune back marker...Bob
