For Sunday night rules, yes, the above note is to be observed.
However, for our series, I allow more stretching of the boundaries. For this series, two wheels must remain on the red/white checkered curbing or inside the white line where not curbing is present. With that said, striking the pylon does not constitute and oob violation unless all 4 wheels go into the grass/green. I will warn, however, that these curbs are very agressive and do unsettle the cat quite a bit.

Event #5 Drivers Meeting
Attention:
Race Room will be opened at 9:15pm est,
Qualifying at 9:30pm est
Race Start at 9:45pm est
Grid Business
Happy Friday to everyone who will be attending tonight's event at Nurburgring GP. We have a full grid of 16 drivers confirmed to race, with three drivers currently on Reserve. If there are any other drivers that will be available to race and would like to get on the Reserve list for this event, please post before 9pm est tomorrow evening.
ALL drivers should submit their spec sheets to my PSN: NOVA-0479 (or the main group chat) between the time that the room opens at 9pm est and the start of qualifying at 9:15pm est, along with an updated side picture of your car reflecting your placement in the overall standings if chosing to participate.
I'd ask all drivers to make sure they are running a wired connection in any way possible and to clear their network cache before entering the race room to avoid any issues. It seems the online lobbies run based on the slowest running system and/or internet speed in the room....basically throttles everyone down which appears to cause the instability we have experienced in the past. Let's try to head off any of these issues and optimize everything on our own ends that we can to help. For those with faster internet service speeds (over 200mbps+), it seems there are less issues with stability. For those on slower internet speeds or forced to run wirelessly, their network appears to be affected more when other in the household are online and pulling from the service speed. See this link to optimize your network priority for the gaming, and try to reduce internet usage (if possible) elsewhere in the house when racing.
READ ME FIRST: Gran Turismo 7 Connection Issues
Gran Turismo 7, it seems, follows in the fine traditions of GT Sport, GT6, GT5, and even GT5P in being a bit sensitive to network environments. A connection that's fine one day (or hour) might be ropey the next, and while there's a lot of things that might be out of your control, the best way to...

Get them final practice laps in, and be ready for tonight.
Reminder to all drivers:
All confirmed drivers are holding 1 of 16 grid spots, and we have 23 drivers on the PS5 roster, 19 for tonight. Please notify me as soon as reasonably possible if you are unable to make the event. The latest acceptable notice without any recourse is 9:10pm est. Any drivers who are confirmed to attend, and fails to appear, will be placed on automatic Reserve for their next confirmed event.
Drivers Briefing
A few reminders for Nurburgring GP:
1.) Be mindful in the opening laps. Be patient, and avoid contact/incident at all cost. Incidents that result in an issued caution, in the opening 2 laps, will come under automatic review for any possible infractions and penalized as necessary. Please be patient, brake earlier, and respect your opponent driver's space/line...they are not brakes or guard rails.
2.) Chicanes and S Sections of the track: There is no written rule for these sections, but I'd ask all drivers to exercise caution and good judgement through these sections. Know when you have lost the position when approaching these section, and be considerate enough to back out to avoid the risk of incidents. This series will continue to induce some very close quarters racing, and one slow up, or mistake could result in yourself, both, or many drivers losing position....don't be that guy. If both drivers are dead on, side by side, proceed with caution, and hold your lines. Just be warned that attempting to gp side by side in these sections cleanly will slow both of you down and almost guarantee a loss of position(s) from other attacking drivers. BE CAREFUL and AVOID CONTACT
3.) See this Event Details Link and review for driver specs, race details, and allowable track boundaries for Nurburgring GP.
4.) Special Note: Rolling over the bollard/pylon on the exit of the last chicane will not be considered OOB. To be considered a penalty, all tires would need to be in the grass. Keep at least two tires on the checkered curbing to stay legal.
Final Reminders:
-Please be sure that everyone is on a wired connection to their PS5 (in any way possible)
-Clear cache before entering the race room
Lets try to do the best we can to reduce the jitters within the lobby.
Any drivers that are noted or noticed to create continuous issues will be asked to retire for the event.

Lots of highlights and lowlights in that clip.
Tonight was not one of my best performances. Great battles with several people but I defended and battled back a bit more rough than I should. Seeing in replays myself.
Apologies to those who I haven’t already reached out to.

@ 2:50 in clip, check out the outside pass from me and then inside pass by Sand. Looked like he checked up from an unsettled car and was ledt a sitting duck with me and Sand coming in hot. Good stuff JDM on gathering it up, keeping it clean, and between the lines.
