NES (S3): Season 4 discussions etc

Ok. Here's my new proposal for the race day timetable/format. All times are in timezone BST:

Spoiler: Timetable Revision

18:30: Lobby opens and qualifying for race 1 (Gr.3/GT3) instantly begins

19:00: A quick check for any late entries on GTPlanet. If none, then race 1 begins. When the race finishes there will be a short break until the qualifying for race 2 (Gr.1/LMP)

20:00: Qualifying for race 2 begins

20:15: Another quick check for late entries on GTPlanet. If clear, race 2 will start

It would be great to get your feedback on the slight changes.

I'm more than happy with this, however didn't mind the previous format.. up to what the majority want!

Start earlier (30min)it’s my proposition because many people don’t race in LMP due to dinner time and start 5 min earlier or 10 to have an extra time for qualy

Ok. What does everyone else think of that idea?

 

[CrazyJohn]

That doesn't suit me, as the Interregional GT500 Championship ends just before the NES starts (7PM BST based on my calculations) and I will have to miss 3 GT rounds if this (timetable) happens.

I will see what I can do though.

I really don't know what should happen to increase the LMP entries.

 

[PSN offapple]

Ok. So starting earlier isn't an option. Anyone else with an opinion on the timetable?

 

[steviea712]

I think the timetable as you proposed is good, for people doing both GT3 and LMP races they can have a quick break inbetween. You're not going to be able to please everyone with your choice of times.

I will end up doing some LMP1 races, just not sure which ones as of yet

 

[PSN offapple]

Ok. I've decided to stick to what I proposed for a timetable from now on. If anyone has any complaints let me know, and give a potential solution that isn't too drastic.

 

[PSN offapple]

It's raceday!
Somehow I was wrong. This is the second time the NES has come to Brands Hatch. Back in Season 2, it was Sniparator taking the GT win, and Gugas with the LMP win. Will they be able to do it again, or will someone else take the spotlight from BSC? Only time will tell...

 

[Timebanditt]

Good luck everyone !

I believe that their are some discrepancies. You can view the current championship points on post #84 of this thread

 

[Sniparator]

It'd be useful if it would be listed in the OP apple.

 

[PSN offapple]

Good idea. I'll try and move it there

Edit: Done! They can now be found after the list of rules & regulations in post #3 on page 1.

I've also updated post #17 (the NES Driver Notes) into the NES archives. I've added the lap records set so far in Season 3, and have also listed the previous champions.

No there aren't as far as I know. I was copying the standings shown in the website except for a correction in my and your LMP points.

 

[PSN offapple]

This is a 2 hour warning for the lobby opening

 

[TetsuKobura]

I might be slightly late for qualifying, but should still make the race.

 

[PSN offapple]

This is a 1 hour warning for the lobby opening. It would be appreciated if any absences are reported

 

[Sniparator]

As far as I'm concerned I removed the standings from the website CJ. Idk how you did that.

 

[PSN offapple]

30 minutes until the lobby and race 1 qualifying goes live!

 

[PSN offapple]

Lobby is up. Qualifying is live!

The GT race is by far the worst race I've done in this game. I did like 50 mistakes, got stuck behind @Sniparator and bumped @PSN offapple on turn 4 at the dying stages of the race.

By the way @TetsuKobura we weren't even close, how did I cost you a 4th place?

 

[Josh Compton]

Cannot rejoin lobby???

 

[PSN offapple]

LMP Qualifying live!

 

[steviea712]

Great race. Made 2 big mistakes, one on lap 13 (should have known!) where I got damage and had to make an unscheduled stop, the next one right at the end. Luckily the strategy worked out great!

Big shout out to my team mate traels666 for getting a debut pole, good sign of things to come

 

[TetsuKobura]

@TetsuKobura we weren't even close, how did I cost you a 4th place?

I heard a loud thud followed by a blue NSX passing me and giving me rear right tire/aero damage. Those extra seconds in the pit fixing the damage dropped me to like 7th where I had to put up with that traffic.

I was just behind traels before T2. He missed the brakes and he hit you, I didn't have contact with anyone. Check the replay if you still have doubts.

Oh, was it him? I don’t have the replay so I can’t look

Spoiler: Incident Report

GT: Lap 1: Car #79 and car #10 incident. Caused by lag. No action taken.

GT: Lap 1: Car #79 and car #21 incident. Caused by lag. No action taken.

GT: Lap 14: Car #42 and car #54 incident. Car #42 out-braked itself and hit car #54. This lead to both cars being damaged. Car #42 -3pts

GT: Car #22: Excessive defending. Strong warning.

LMP: Lap 6: Car #22 and car #25 incident. Car #22 braked very early for the corner. This lead to car #25 hitting car #22 as they couldn't react fast enough, and both cars were damaged. Based on the fact that car #22 still easily made the apex, car #25 isn't at fault for punting in this incident, and it proves that car #22 did brake far too early. Car #22 -2pts

LMP: Lap 16: Car #4 and car #23. No blue flags, and car #23 didn't do anything reckless. No action taken.

 

[Splurge]

Race to forget for me, didn't really have the pace to run at the front and then made mistakes in the second stint, FL though was a nice compromise. Onto a track I have no experience at!

Also can we please make a switch up from sstandin starts in lmp/gr.1 cos as much as I understand rules shouldn't be changed for issues with specific cars, no matter where I start I'm getting to the first corner last every race, the Nissan doesn't get off line more crawls away, I've tried every setting of TC and modulating my throttle, it's ridiculous and essentially makes quali mean nothing for me
