Plus we confirmed it with you before entering the pits. You even told the one person who put on the wrong tires to go all the way back through the pits and get the right tires. And isn't it ironic that EVERYONE ELSE IN THE RACE "Didn't change to intermediates" I think we need someone who isn't a racer to be race control to keep the penalties unbiased.

Peagle, you have a strong case on account that you won the race fair and square.
I just sense some cheating going on, Trobes. If you really want a reason to ban me. I can give you one. Really easy, but on account of my suspension being up and my being able to race. I'll save it.
It's just amazing that this is a nationwide series, and you pick and chose YOUR rules. Which are sketchy week to week as it is. There was no aforementioned mandatory tire change that came with rain in the penalty section, and considering you said if it started raining you were going to call the race. You can't make up, take out and bend rules as you go, that's not how this works. Not nationwide rules as you said at the beginning of this season

No cheating on my part, penalties were removed. It ended up being a glitch, i just needed confirmation. Now as for the tire change, i mentioned it many times before, during, and while pitstops were under way during the race. And for the race ending, i don't do the reschedule because in real life, when a race is rain shortened, they just move it to the next day, we'd just have to back out and turn off the rain and go again, there's no point in that, so we just end it. If you have any problems with anything i do, instead of calling me out on it publicly, talk to me in private about it, because i don't appreciate you assuming i'm cheating.

I may not have much say due to my not being at the event. I just would never run with weather change on, due to issues like this. In the event weather is on, and rain gets to the point where it would cause a Red Flag, if the race is before the halfway point, they would wait it out for hours before calling it quits, and then restart the following day. If the race is past the halfway point they would just end it.
I remember for this year's GT6 Daytona 500, I simulated the rain delay by just announcing a Red Flag and switching it to night time. However, in the case of randomized rain that could halt the race at any time unplanned, that's not something I would have in the race settings.
Although NASCAR has raced in the rain on rare occasion on road courses they do not on ovals because it banking + rain = too dangerous, so I can understand adding in rain as a factor. There have only been 4 times that NASCAR has raced in the rain (that I know of) The most notable example I can think of is Suzuka East qualifying in 1997. (Which was the only time I know of that the Cup series used rain tires.) The other 3 that I know of were Nationwide races, 2008 and 2009 Montreal and this year's Road America race. At Road America, there wasn't an aforementioned tire change either, but NASCAR did mandate one, unexpectedly.
In summery, I disagree with racing in the rain (at least for a NASCAR league), however, the actual Nationwide Series has before and it seems like trobes handled it like NASCAR would've. (Although I disagree with forcing a Caution and mandating the driver change to rain tires and think that drivers should just change tires when they need to, it is what NASCAR would've done.) Racing in the rain is a possibility, but seeing how it's something we can control with GT6 settings and rain just causes issues, I think it is best avoided.
I'm not really sure what was going on in Peagle's case here, but NASCAR wouldn't take away a win, just points. Also, trobes, you really need to publish the full rulebook. If you need to rip from mine, that's okay. For the drivers, penalties will get issued from time to time, it is not a reason to freak out, you simply appeal it civilly and move on. I think somewhere in the GTP OLR it actually mentions appealing penalties in private. (or maybe that's calling out other drivers on things.) EDIT: After checking the OLR, it seems like initial penalties and appeals should be conducted privately and resolved before being reflected on the official log.

Thank you Peel for your level-headed, rational response. In the future, rain will be disabled, but like i said previously, I wasn't doing the reschedule due to the fact that in real life it's necessary, but in a game, there'd be no point in it. But thanks again, and I'll get the rulebook in sometime.

I wasn't meaning that you should've had a reschedule, I was just stating what the actual procedure would've been. As you've stated in a prior post, you would "just have to back out and turn off the rain and go again." You're absolutely right, that would have to be the case if you weren't at the halfway point; either that or wait it out, and even after the halfway point waiting it out would still be done to attempt to finish the entire distance.
Rain delays have no place in a distance event as they just delay the finish as no progress can be made during them. The only situation I can see a rain delay being acceptable in is during a timed race; in which, under Red Flag, the timer keeps running.

Hey, can we delay the race, I haven't been on GT6 today AND THERE IS A MASSIVE UPDATE, so if we could delay the race by an hour or so. That would be great. If not, then it's cool.

Damn, Yea, I'll just have to win the next four now. Would've done work at Indy. Had a good plan since its going to be caution filled.

Guys to make some things clear:
- If you're making me uncomfortable while pacing, I will send you a little "warning" of sorts.
- Also, if a caution is called while the field is passing me, I'll go into beast mode to get in front rather than wait a whole lap.
