NTSC Championship S2 - Round 7 of 8 - (Finished)

[EL_ZISSOU]

My results:

Race 1: 4th *Self-Disqulification due to stunning stupidity*

--I was on pole, and for some inexplicable reason, I decided to jump the start rather than wait for 20 seconds. I didn't barely jump the start, (i.e. Chad last week) I floored it at the start--How idiotic

I therefore disqualify myself from race 1 for being an idiot. I hope I didn't mess up anyone else's race by jumping the start. I think I may have screwed up EL_ZISSOU because I believe he waited on the start. Sorry man

Race 2: DNF--I got disconnected at the start--the Racing Gods way of meting out my punishment for my stunning lack of thought in race 1

heh heh, no problem man. i was sorry to see that you went off track the first lap, but also glad to have someone to race with since everyone left me on the grid in my wedding dress.

i finished 3rd and 1st. for the second race, everyone agreed beforehand to start immediately if there were no other cars, so my odds of winning were much better.

i used the dc tune. eric, thanks a lot for sharing yours- i set my fastest time with it but it was a little loose for me so i went with dc for the race since it was a bit more stable and it was a long race with lots of chances to blow it.

2 07 is achievable with no tuning. I havent tried this setup, but it cant be better than stock. Adding toe in the rear will make the car more stable, and less easy to turn. IMO if you are having trouble turning all I would do in -.03 toe in the Rear to start.

No problem. It's cool to have the feedback. This car was particularly difficult to tune, and it's nice to know you found it to be a little quicker than a DC tune.

haha man i seriously thought you made a mistake in posting when i saw the +10 and -10 for ride heights, but i adjusted to what i thought you meant and it just didnt work.

 

[Blitz187]

Small question for the next round... Is there going to be tuning in the next round? Just wondering, because I wanted to make a tune again if possible... if its not allowed then pretend this message is not there Thanks guys!

Another dissapointing night for me...thanks in part to all the beers I drank For the first race I hadn't gotten any warm up laps prior to the race...I ended up going off track like every lap and then would work hard to catch up to cuda, only to do the same thing again and again The 2nd race went the same way with Zissou taking the win this time. I only captured roughly 3/4's of race number 2, so I doubht it's even worth uploading

My results:

1st race: 2nd (I think it's a DQ though, as cuda, carl and myself all jumped the gun. If it is a DQ that's fine at this point as I have no chance in the points regardless)

2nd race: 2nd

Tune: TA tune

On a positive note my Fanatec wheel should be on my doorstep in the next day or so hopefully. At least I won't be forced to drive that beast (Ford GT) on N tires with the frickin controller

I think most of the people who voted for the Ford GT on N3's didn't even try it first - you are not allowed to tune the car at all with the tuning button greyed out. Taking that car around the track multiple times in a race with other drivers is going to be the most insane event this NTSC tournament has seen to date. It wouldn't surprise me if no one even tries to draft because if you do and the car gets up to a hefty speed it may well be impossible to get it to stop. The few laps that I tried you basically need to brake at the finish line to make turn 1.

Oh well, guess Im out of luck then but it should make for some interesting racing curious to see the outcome...

 

[Heli-Eric]

I'll be in a black one with silver stripes, and lots of damage down the right side (from practicing).

How much are we talking about? As long as we are clear, you are admitting to jumping the start.

I am sorry to hear that man. Thank you for being honest. It is unfortunate that no one recorded the race to see how much you jumped it. I was given a pass for .013

Cuda? Did you jump the start on race 1?

Good luck on the wheel man, I hope it comes. You will take lots of pictures when you get it I hope.

I will review your incident next Linpark

How much are we talking about? As long as we are clear, you are admitting to jumping the start.

Well, I'm not really sure of the situation as I was drunk and a bit rushed to make the race According to the rules we're supposed to wait for 20 seconds before re-positioning on the grid and taking off. But is this the case ONLY when there are other drivers (non championship participants) on the grid? I think me and cuda simply responded to Carl taking off without waiting the 20 seconds, while Zissou waited the full 20 seconds before taking off. The thing is, I really can't recall if there were other cars besides us on the grid If there were I guess that would make my race a DQ, even though we were simply responding to Carl jumping the gun. Hopefully the rest of you guys can help me clear that up Either way it doesn't really matter to me...

 

[cudadude2]

:

Cuda? Did you jump the start on race 1?

Well, if Carl had a 20 second jump, and TimeAttack had a 19 second jump then mine was a good 18 seconds. but if my win is stripped from me, it'll have been worth it for the spectaular battle I had With TA.

[Chadwicksracing]

Since Zissou waited for the full time, then there will have to have some kind of a penalty. Since that would of course not be fair to Zissou who waited and followed the rules. Since Cuda and TA was responding to Carl, then there might not be a same kind of penalty. I will speak with Earth and see what we will do.

Again, thanks for the honesty guys.

At 5:18 in this video it looks like I punted mkay, but I did not. Check my race 2 video at 6:10 to see it from my view.

As you can see from thefollowing videos my setup was junk. I never counter steered as much as in my life

Race 1. This was one of the more enjoyable races I have been in with GT5P. It resembled a full 1 or 2 hour race compressed into 20 minutes. It started out with all of us bunched together. That's Phase 1 of a race. Then we got strung apart and started running hot laps. That's Phase 2. Then there was the end where you battle to beat whoever is near you.

The final 3 laps of this race featured a good battle with Twistybits, who had chased me down from 4 seconds back, but my batteries died. He passed me going into turn 1 on lap 10. I gave him all I got for the next lap and he held me off. Good job.



Race 2. I jumped out to an early lead in this one. But because I was at 548pp the car was 40 or 50kgs heavier and I was 1-1.5 seconds a laper slower. I was holding everyone up and was waiting to cause a pile up behind me if I missed a braking point. Fortunately everyone seemed to make it OK. At 2:10 I trade paint with Bonzo harry, im trying to tell him we're in a league race. He needs to move over! Again my batteries died so only half a race here. The latter part was boring anyway



OrangeR Cup Results. EL_ZISSOU was moved ahead of those who jumped the start. Timeattack was given half points for using incorrect pp in both races.

If you want to protest the results or if you want to send a complaint about a driver or anything, just pm me. The results can always be changed or something else.

Me and Chadwicksracing are still looking over race video to see if there was any wrongdoing

 

[Chadwicksracing]

Race Incident Race 2 mKay and major: Result is a racing incident, no penalties will be given at this time. After reviewing two replays (Earth and Major's) I have determined that mkay is the driver at fault, since he is on the one who rubbed the side of major's car.

Race incident Race 1 Linpark and mkay: Result, racing incident, no penalties will be given at this time. I have determined that mkay is the driver at fault, however he did wait for Linpark.

CORRECTION: With Linpark and mKay incident. mKay did NOT WAIT FOR LINPARK. Further review of this case will merit any possible penalties that may or may not occur.

When a racing incident like this occurs, are we supposed to resume further down track in the same line-up we were currently in before the incident occurred?

He is suppose to give you your position back. I do hope that there is not a next time.

I am just not sure how he could hit you off the track that far off. The most speed in the entry of that corner is about 70 MPH. He must of had a head of steam. Its just poor judgement that unfortunately took you out of the race.

PLEASE READ:

Under the OLR rules it states:

05: Rules Governing Car Contact:

A:
Contacts and collisions must be avoided at all costs.

B:
Pushing other cars in turns or pushing them off the track is strictly prohibited.


06: Running into the car ahead of you:

A:
The behind driver must take all necessary care and responsibility not to run into an ahead driver.

B:
In case you brake too late for a corner or partially lose control of your car, but can prevent an accident by steering into the dirt, grass or a wall, you are expected to do so.

C:
The ahead driver must not do any malicious or inappropriate braking or slowing. Leading cars MUST NOT EVER 'brake check' the car(s) behind them because they are following too closely. The ahead driver IS entitled to be slower or use longer and earlier braking zones than others. They are also entitled to turn in earlier or later and/or apex earlier or later.


07: Contact Concessions:

A:
If there’s contact between drivers that results in the guilty driver making up places on the innocent driver, the guilty driver should immediately allow the innocent driver to pass freely to re-establish their position. This rule should be observed, even if it means the guilty driver has to allow drivers not involved in the incident to pass while waiting for the driver they contacted.

B:
If the appropriate contact concession is carried out by the guilty driver then they may avoid or reduce the severity of any penalties that might otherwise apply.

Any driver can find the OLR by clicking HERE! I urge each driver in this series to read over the rule book. We use and cite these rules for every race.

PLEASE REFER TO POST ABOVE

I apologize LinPark. Totally my fault; I should learn to break better
