Thanks chance. Can race 1 please be delayed until I get in the room? I will try to be there as soon as I can.

both races ended and here´s my opinion.
1st Race: Very much bumping and ramming here
some cut offs
2nd Race: Too much bumping / ramming
unfair driving
I was too overpaced, than in round 14 i made a mistake and i let DRZ pass in 2nd position.
I catched him again but at straight line my civic is underpowered! ;D good race DRZ...
Overall i´d recommend that all of us should drive more considerate, especially in first 2 rounds. Whoever is inside the corner and at same height shout have priority going into the corner.
Pls dont push too hard and brake too late just to step inside... saw some of taht here.
to avoid somedodys disadvantage of beeing pushed out / rammed away, we should drive only 1 race, but with more laps
For example this was 8 Rounds and 15 Rounds
We should do just one race ith lets say 25 Rounds, so every quick driver should catch up if he was in trouble in the beginning of the race...

Don't know why but last night was not good. Bad lag in room and way to much pushing to pass. No fun at all

What he said... We should all calm down and clean up, it's a series.! Points at the end, not just one race...

The reasons why I have rounds with more than one race, is to keep it close due to reverse grid (which didn't work yesterday for some reason) and if someone arrives late, they can still partake in the other races.
I agree that there was some bumping and I am expecting a few PM's about race incidents.
On the positive front, we had a great turnout and some quick close racing. Slatz seemed to obviously be the quickest overall, but was only able to pull away in race one due to fighting for P2.
Remember to submit your PM for any incidents before wednesday. Reminder that reporting is anonymous.
Edit: Temporary Race Results added pending incident reports.

NOTES FOR ROUND 2 @ SUZUKA
The first 2 corners can be tricky. If you happen to run wide onto the tarmac, please rejoin the main track at the end of the corner and give way to any traffic already on the main track.
The corner after the back straight also has a tarmac run-off area. Once again You should refrain from using this area purposefully to try and gain time.
The last tight 'S' before the final turn is very easy to cut. Anyone caught cutting excessively (more 2 wheels off track) will be penalized as if another driver sees you doing this he can report you.
If I decide to penalize you, it will be within 2 days of the race. You will have 1 day to respond if you feel the penalty is not justified and may respond with your version of events.
Edit: Also the reverse grid for round 1 didn't work, so for following rounds we will line up on track in qualifying order then start the race, then for following races we will line up in reverse order of the previous races finishing positions

With the heavy damage thing, I am only worried about lag hits and if someone breaks late by accident and takes someone else out, that other drivers race is then pretty much over as he will have to pit. With the races being shorter, this limits their chance for recovery. However, with that being said, with more than 1 race, means they have a second or third chance with the other races.
Lets put it to vote. If 6 competitors say they want heavy damage, then it will be reinstated.

I will wait to see what happens with penelty points, see if they are handed out correctly. BIG penelty points would be a deterant. that way the right guy gets penelised and not both the guy in the right and in the wrong, which happens alot with damage on.
I'm pretty sure Mr chance will have a bone to pick with someone ( no names ), he copped a couple of bad divebombs. And DRZ, did you clean your cache before starting? You had a fair bit of lag.

I'm with Fewz on this, I think full damage can be a nightmare if your hit by someone, stuffs your race and it's not even your own stupid fault.. With the right penelties handed out to the right people could get it sorted... It is just a game,there should be the "clean at all cost" approach, NOT "win at all cost"..!

The main reason u get cranky with it is i leave racing room and still get pushed if i was blocking i could understand it but when i leave a person room why do they use it as invitation to push u off the track i bumped slatz in rear but did not overtake waited 4 him to get back in front then away we went again one off the dive bombs that didn't hurt sent me from 2nd to 5th and the person who did it drove off and that's wat made me cranky but anyway well done fewzo and go team snot sorry team bmw lol

to clear your cache, go to gt life screen, go to options (left hand,bottom screen )looks like a white star/sun, go all the way to bottom, i think it's called network something, at bottom of options screen though. it will ask to clear cache, say yes. might take a while if you haven't done it before. you should do this everytime you log on, it's the first thing i do, saves alot of drama's. PM me if you need more help m8.

Ranger has a Mic so maybe we should let him give instructions on race night so everyone understands did u want me to open lounge same time this week as per last week

- DRZ-Hatfield
That would perfect. If Rager is ok with it that is. He could call people out to line up before we start the race and then in reverse order for subsequent races.
Same time lounge is fine.

Decent turnout for Round 2 and again some quick close racing. fewzo was definitely the quickest if he could get far enough away from the slip-stream.
Seemed to be much cleaner than Round 1 but just as fast. I just wish the Volvo wasn't so hard on its front tires (I suppose being FF that is to be expected however lol) Although I will forever remember the pass I pulled on chance and fewzo on the main straight, threaded right between them
