You start in G3 for 1 race, as all drivers start in the faster group for the next week when the have won a race, as you did at Indy Ben, and i would have more time to post you congratulations to you if i did not have to keep answering these types of posts.
Oh well, another race I can't enjoy due to favouritism from the organisers. Why do you need to start 1 entire minute ahead of me, logic? Really that keen to win your own series?
There is never any favor given to specific drivers, although i am always keen that we help the guys that never get to win unhandicapped races, it gives them a feeling for running at the front and a great chance at winning.
GTB should be Group 4. He was running same lap times as Group 4 once he settled in on Indianapolis. The fastest time he claimed he achieved would have been middle of Group 3, in fact.
I and the other stewards decide who is in which group, and not based on 1 race, but over several races as we have always done.
Again Gtb is new to us, so giving him a helping hand is fine.
He will be moving to group 4 next week.
EDIT: I take it the incidents reported between me and GTB haven't been looked at?
I was Dcd straight after the race, so i have no replay, i think many were dc'd straight after also.
You won the race, Gtb was in his first ever series race, what would you like me to do to him.
EDIT2:
@DrAug should be Group 2 instead of Group 1 by now?
When you run your own series Ben, i am sure all our drivers will flock to it to ensure they are grouped correctly.
Our handicaps are not perfect, drivers are faster and slower at some tracks than others, but overall the championship points table is what i look at.
Aug starts with a 3 minute and 30 second delay, he never ever complains, he has to drive like a lunatic for 90 minutes to finish in the top 3, but never once has Aug made a fuss.
We all admire his amazing pace and his pesence in our series, he is with us every week and if he felt he was penalised beyond fairness, i am sure he would be polite and send me a private post to let me know he felt his handicap was impossible.
EDIT3: Wow, how is
@DeltaJuliet in group 4?! He's driven Group 3 pace in every race I've seen.
Delta is fast, however there are some tracks that even i am a litte faster than him, and that then makes him not so fast, sadly for Delta.

Ben, i was a little dissapointed you decided to post 897 at 7.05 pm, pretty much 3 minutes before the race started.
As you can imagine, i am rather busy trying to ensure everyone can see each other and ensuring all the drivers starting info is correct.
It seems to me that you only look for bad things Ben.
Not ever do you suggest you enjoy our series, which is sad, as its rather a difficult thing to run with all the server issues we encounter, and it is frustrating for everyone i know, but we all seem to have a good time and take enjoyment from it, often staying it is in the lobby and chatting aboout the race for 30 minutes after it has finished.
But you Ben,
you cant wait to get stuck into the replay, looking for all the bad things, and posting all the things we all want to forget.
Just 3 Minutes after the race tonight Ben, you edited the post you sent 3 minutes before the race started.
Just adding to the dissapointment you must feel.
Ben our series is not a form of punishment mate.
I am not sure if you are forced to drive in our series ?
I feel you treat it like a weekly 90 minute community service after court judgement.
Anyway, i never harbour any bad feeling Ben, everyone is different, so i try to be as fair as i can with everyone.
