[RACE] International Touring Car Championship - #5 - Close this vthreadOpen

That would require live stewarding though.

And you know from S2 how I feel about turn 4 Mel.

Elaborate please..

 

[CAMikaze]

If it were me, I'd do a stop-n-go penalty in the pit lane.

That would require live stewarding though.

With GT6 having only 16 online lobby slots available compared to plenty more for PC race sims like rFactor, SimBin sims, et al, maybe you could have 1 or 2 stewards in the lobby watching the races for any possible infractions in-race. Thing is, you would have to limit the number of racers in the lobby to 14 if this is to be made possible. For my part, I would try be like a golfer and self-enforce penalties for any and all smacking into the foam bricks in the NGK Chicane on my part during the races.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I'm interested in the Atenza now. I'll have to decide if I like it more than the Volvo.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

That's simply not required, CAM. I'm thinking 5 seconds per small cut, 1 minute simulated stop and hold for full-throttling the NGK...

 

[LancerEvo7]

Elaborate please..

You should be able to use it like so, especially if you're racing with someone. More room = less accidents.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Season 1, Lanlan. Remember that?

 

[polarbear345]

Season 1, Lanlan. Remember that?

I remember the no turn 1 passes.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I remember the no turn 1 passes.

That was in response to the terrible driving in Season 1. Remember the rules at Monaco?

 

[polarbear345]

Don't pass?

 

[LancerEvo7]

I remember the no turn 1 passes.

I remember passing 7 or 8 cars before turn 1 in one race.

T4 is okay all four wheels off, but there is shared responsibility for all drivers to leave enough room for each other. In season 1, a driver decided not to give Sakery any room before the track narrowed, leading to a three car crash. You will receive a penalty if you do not share the course in between T4 and T5. Even if the guy on your outside is off track, you must leave space. If you're off track, you must ensure that you reenter safely without contact. If anyone is spun because someone was hogging the course width, penalty. Simple.

So just to clarify, you are allowed two wheels on the entire red and white section @ T2 and completely off at T4?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yeah. The idea is to reduce crashes by maintaining momentum through non-passing zones while allowing a better run out of T4 into T5.

 

[Ettick]

GP/D lap times?

 

[JacobRPP]

1.34.5 in bimmer

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

1:34 is the common lap time. I was at 1:34 as well

 

[Ettick]

1:35.5 with RH - I think 1:35.0 is possible though if I can get sector 1 right

1:34.1 with RM - Accidentally had brakes set to 3 front 3 rear so I probably could do better than this

I have a room up in case anyone is interested... Or the lobby server could keep disconnecting me

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Every time someone opens a lobby, I'm preparing food.

Every time.

 

[JacobRPP]

I'll be on in a couple of hours. Still at work.

Small updates to OP. Ford and Renault have received minor power adjustments. Ford now has 283 HP, Renault now has 290.

The other update is that the specifications for ballast have been changed to specify that ballast is needed on Top 8 qualifiers in Race 3 following Q2, where Q2 top 8 must have ballast for that session.

Race and Qualifying 1 are the only sessions without ballast. Races 2, 3 & 4 require ballast on the Top 8 finishing positions of the previous sessions. The winner of Race 1 must have 40 kg., additional ballast in Race 2 and so on.

So ballast is cumulative now?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

So ballast is cumulative now?

No. I mean that the success ballast is additional on top of spec ballast. Almost every car has spec ballast except Mazda and Mitsubishi.

D/C procedure updated now as well. Changes mean that positions changed will not be reset when a D/C restart is called. Also, there is now a limit to the number of D/C restarts available to each driver.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Update: I'm expecting this weekend to go smoothly. It could possibly be one of the best race weekends in ITCC ever.

With that said, I'd like to be able to make YouTube replays etc., so your cooperation is appreciated. Not needing to do inquiries and incident reviews would belovely...

Familiarize yourselves with the rules please, and I will promise you an excellent week of racing. See you on track.

 

[JacobRPP]

Testing, add me if you want join in on the fun

 

[Roflwaffle]

I'm gonna change car to the Atenza, if you don't mind.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Taking this opportunity to remind people that anyone and everyone can change cars.

 

[Ettick]

ITC championship?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

ITC championship?

International Touring Car Championship. ITC is the car type, Championship is championship. I mean, you know what I mean.

 

[JacobRPP]

Don't overcomplicate his life.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Don't overcomplicate his life.

It's Ryan we're talking about. I've been friends with the guy for 8 years, I think...? We started talking on Forza 2... So yeah.
