The Rolex Sports Car Series- Season 2! Finished! Thanks Everyone!

[Cowboys965]

I got so fed up with Storm for running me wide at Parabolica (especially after crashing me at Daytona, or does no one remember that?) that I got 7 laps in 1:48.4s, because my blood pressure, heart rate and, well, pretty much every part of my body immediately began to work overtime. My reaction times dropped, and I went into a sorta psychotic rampage, trying to catch up after Storm decided to 🤬 me up. But, oh, it's okay, Cows can cut corners and shunt me, and Storm can run me out of track, without consequences, but I know that I'll get consequences, even for this exact post.

I'm glad that we're taking this two week break, because I seem to think that everyone here needs the full two weeks to read the GTP OLRs.

Shunt you? You and your teammate collided in Turn 1, giving me a chance to pass

Cutting corners? Pretty sure I was on the track at all times. I beat you on exit again because I got more speed coming out if the corner. Unlike you, I didn't brake as late as possible every turn.

I think 2 weeks off is pretty stupid. I say we race next week and have a rule where we drop our worst finish at the end of the season. So if you miss one or get disconnected, you're fine.

I like that idea already. Just cause this race was so terrible for me.

Dude, your "second chance" was at one of the races during the week... and you WERE online during ALL of them.

The race will start 7:00- 7:05 eastern time.

Room will open about 6:30, or whenever ITCC ends.

Tell me when they are OPEN sorry

 

[polarbear345]

They aren't, and won't be open to you.

Just wanna say thanks to my team for such a good night. Got what I wanted pole and a win 👍

Before penalties.

 

[Cowboys965]

Before penalties.

I have nothing to worry about. Since I kept 2 wheels on track I should be fine, right?

Best part of the race right here.

Does my unofficial 4th in GT mean that my invitation extends to a permanent seat in Rolex ... wink, wink, hint, hint ... ... that's only if you guys will have me of course ...

Yes, of course!

 

[NizmoDr3]

Cool Polar ...looks like the Sheepside and Saffer team from ITCC is flowing over to Rolex ... as well as a change from AWD to MR ...

You aren't the only one, believe me.

Why Tissimo only has 25 points...?

 

[polarbear345]

Why Tissimo only has 25 points...?

It was a half points race.

 

[Cowboys965]

Can we drop our worst finish at the end of the season?

 

[polarbear345]

Can we drop our worst finish at the end of the season?

No, at least not this season.

 

[Cowboys965]

No, at least not this season.

Why?

 

[polarbear345]

Why?

I do think what in a championship, you should have to be consistent, and if you have a bad race, you should have to deal with that result. An having It erased, I think, is stupid.

 

[Storm_SP17]

I can agree with that Polar.

I think the only reason I would say I'd like to see it is if say someone D/Cs from the lobby during the race, or if people happen to have those races where they're a part of racing incidents that aren't they're fault that don't get properly seen to at the time.

Yeah, getting piledrived into turn 1 wasn't fun at all. Makes me laugh, coz that whole parabolica fiasco could've been avoided anyway, just someone decided to dive past two people, ran wide anyway, and proceeded to cut across/undercut/not yield to the person actually taking the racing line without simply lifting off the throttle to gurarantee that their attempt at a pass is safely executed.

Instead, they push and push, hard on the throttle, while another driver is taking the correct line, contact is made as the front right and the left rear come together, and they lose a little bit of time because now they got two wheels on the grass. They aren't even out of contention at that point.

Piledriving me as a result was retarded, given that they were still within a fighting chance anyway and just decided to be a d*ckbag about the whole thing instead.

Its a joke.

If you hadn't spun me in both normal season races to date, you would've been FINE, but you play with your bumper instead of driving the car. I was faster than you on mediums! Yet, somehow, I was only able to catch the fat Camaro when its tires died.

ghs: I accept the apology for the chicane incident you sent in lobby. If you have a replay, you were on the run off, hence I assumed you were taking to it. But fine you acknowledged that mistake after that race. However, after the pits, you continually hit me at Ascari messing up my d/c-disrupted rhythm.

Mel: Grow a brain or cool your ego, whichever is required. You divebombed me into the parabolica, then took the wide line against storm, which is the racing line. We're in the Mazda ffs. You could bide your time then turn the screw at the straight. It was YOUR fault. Prior to this, I admit I messed up the chicane, but I yielded, and you were still on Cowboys tail. Then you messed up second Lesmo, ran Storm wide on the run into Ascari and rammed me at Ascari. Not to mention probably changing your car specs for that race. I mean your braking zones suddenly decreased quite significantly.

Anger... Any time I'm angry, I go a full second per lap faster. Yesterday, I got 1.5/2 seconds faster, because my heart rate spiked, and the whole race seemed like slow-motion. Really, I have proven it. Last year at Indy. I forced myself to get angry for the first lap there... and was 2 seconds ahead by the second sector.

You can't penallize me for running fast lap times.

I watched your braking zones, not your times. Should I quote Skype for your qualifying strategy? I mean, after all, you're prepared to be a *censored* in qualifying, then why not later?

Haha, everyone runs different setups between qualifying and racing. The real Rolex series has no rules against "qualifying trim." Also, Group C cars ran 1100 hp during qualifying. I ran in my specs 465 @ 1085 for both races. Go ahead, though, tell everyone else that I raised brake pressure during qualifying. I'm sure EVERYONE cares.

But if you get disconnected, or miss a race for personal reasons, it's not your fault.

I think qualifying setup is a good strategy actually.

 

[polarbear345]

Not this season.

But back to more important things, I do feel that at least one week off is needed. Just to let some dust settle.

How about, you replace your missed race/disconnect with your worst finishing position's points.

Or just give me points for last.

Last place. That's what we do for d/c's and I suppose we could just give people that say they can't make it points for last.

Why do you think I said nothing of it up until now? I'm suggesting that your braking zones improved suddenly between the first part of the race and second. After the qualifying strategy you sent, I find that it's too convenient to be coincidence.

 

[cnd01]

We all thought we were disconnecting... Lol!

To be honest, it was such a weird thing... Next race will be smooth.

Shall we take 2 weeks off?

No way after missing a round. I am itching to get back out there. I heard that everyone mass lagged. Also I saw half points this week. Looks like I'm not too far behind.

 

[harvickfan]

Hoping to get in at least as an alternate... are the rooms usually full?
