Up to you guys. It's just an idea I'm willing to do. I don't mind posting different sets of results at the end, and there's no real prizes so there's no particular downside to doing that. I was gonna post the results I've been doing so far, one that dropped the 2 worst races, and another set that's an average, based purely on the number of races you've done. But maybe people will think that's too confusing lol
 
I'm against it. Dropping 2 rounds doesn't benefit the guys who have attended every race and had consistency throughout the season.

Name on other sport where the worst 2 rounds are dropped? NBA they dont take the best 80 results, F1 they don't drop 2 rounds, NASCAR they don't drop 2 rounds, NFL doesn't drop the worst 2 results, football doesn't drop 2 results, snooker doesn't drop 2 frames, darts doesn't drop 2 sets, WRC doesn't drop 2 rounds.
 
Yeh thats what i said earlier or in the other thread zach .

Psn is still down for me by the way
 
Well i got a usa account but live in uk so im guessing i use uk servers .

Hopefully it will be up tonight so i can practice

Im fine with it, I know I dont have outright pace and my tire wear advantage has all but evaporated with these 300 cars.

Still trying to get the RX7 to work well without abs. It's good now, but I remember that abs-less Yellowhat GTR I had...

It was just so perfect. So smooth.
 
I don't think we should drop races. If someone didn't show up for a race they didn't get points anyway. So if we're talking about the competitors that showed up for the majority of the races and care about the points table - then how is that beneficial?

If you started the race and got a dnf or a dc, in my mind that's like a mechanical failure or a wreck that took you out of the race.

I made it to all races except 1 or 2... Endured cutting my teeth with league etiquette penalties, dc's and rage quit dnfs. Dropping two races would not give a good representation of my season or any of the other consistent players.

Maybe we adjust the points system so there is more of an impact on dns, dnf, and dc's next season. For example if you have to miss a race you get some points but loose 2 grid spots after you quali for the next race.

I would prefer not to drop 1 or 2 races. The end results should be calculated based on the results of all the races by those drivers that competed. If this type of championship is that important then drivers will do what is necessary to be at the races. The emphasis probably should be on have good competition rather than beating some other guy. The only other sports I can think of that drops results is Olympic judged competition.
 
I think at least one round should be dropped in lieu of special events (family dinners, girlfriends, outing with old pals, etc) or disconnects.
In short, scenearios when we absolutely need to prioritize or things beyond our control happen. Nothing we can do.

Found this off another member. However it does seem some accounts can sign in while others cannot. Strange.

I'm with dropping 2 races, it's not about people not caring about the points or the leader board. Some people just miss races for things they can't control. Don't forget this is only a game, not our job. You can't compare it to sports saying they don't drop 2 games etc.

Dropping 2 races just evens out the leader board and gives a better reflection of the faster drivers. If we don't drop races then it's pretty much be won by the guy with the most races attended rather than the fastest.

You're right, it's not our jobs. It's our hobby. If I don't show up for my adult mens league hockey game and I'm not there to score any goals or make an assist, my team loses. Therefore I make a commitment to my team whom tries to stay competitive the entire season and we reap the benefits of this.

Does that make sense?

I'd say meet half way. Drop one race. I don't see how it really matters anyway. If you didn't start the race you didn't even get last place points. You got no points. So you'll just end up dropping races for people that had no points anyway. What about the guys that put in the effort for a podium finish or top ten finish? They get penalized because the non-top table competitors didn't show up.

Zach is a great example of this. He's even been in room b for like 3 races, but he's consistent. Isn't that what motorsport is about?

This is motor sport its a game! You can't compare. I would never miss a motor sport race as it would be my job, people miss gaming from time to time due to other commitments.

Last series I was in also dropped 2.

By all means. If that's the norm in this community sure. I was just stating my viewpoint. No need for exclaiming. But I get it and it makes sense to drop races.

I used to race 1/10 scale electric off road buggy. We had a group of 15 regulars. Some of us had onsite rented rooms for storage and tuning. It was very competitive and we did not drop any races in the points series. That's just my viewpoint.

You keep on saying its a game.. So why do you care so much about having 2 races dropped lol? It's a game.
 
So that the leader board reflects the faster drivers, not the ones who have more spare time.

I've mentioned it enough for you guys to see my reasoning.
 
I wish Lewis Hamilton could drop a couple races due to his unreliable mclaren. He's a pretty fast driver. He deserved to be up there with Alonso. Wait... Alonso... Didn't he only have 2 wins last year? He could of used dropping a couple bad races too.
 
People had x-mas dinners and family coming over. You expect them to drop family to race on here? Most people didn't do a race because of that reason. I didn't make 2 races because of family issues. Dropping your TWO WORST finishes still gives you the total of consistent points on the basis of where you finished. If you add the total points from my values and divide by the amount of rounds counted you can get an average points per race total that shows you who finishes consistently up in higher points positions. It's the same as if someone who joined a couple races late because there were no spots open but some slow guy gave up and let that fast guy come in.

Add me to that list too!

Here,here Tyler!

Seth I get the logic in it, but its simply not realistic to me. I cant find 1 championship that does this'

We're casting a vote on this at the Jstc GT400 Season 2 discussion Tread so if you guys want to have a part in the deciding of this coming into play, you guys should hurry over to the discussion tread and get your votes in! 👍

While your there plz don't forget to cast some other votes on matters that you would like to come into play for S2!

You keep bringing in real life comparisons, is there any particular reason for this?

On here, the ALMS one has been doing it. A few SuperGT championships have done it. LMP championships have done it. A few touring car championships do it... the list goes on.

I'm just sayin. It would be beneficial for them. Maybe we can link the FIA to this thread. Lewis' auntie died while he was being pressured to renew his contract. He should of been allowed to drop those points that week. :P
 
Try resetting alefin?
Or is there anyone else who can?

Edit until I qualify I'll be in this room
