Just as a reminder, the 30 min of Laguna Seca is tonight at 9:00pm EDT. I'm thinking about extending all the races to an hour, with some like Bathurst being and hour and a half, and Nurburgring being 2 hours. Anyone want the races to be longer? or the same.
 
ok, so two things and I'll be off. The last turn, yes. I overcooked it into the hair pin, in review, you can see that my brakes were locked and I was turning all the way to the left to avoid, which I did. I cut across your nose And in doing minimized all contact and Gabe neither of us damage. Then the second part. Me hitting Dcriminal. You can see the G-load on my car where I turned to go towards the wall and kept it the same. If I wanted to, I would have turned harder, as I said, I didn't mean to hit him. Plus neither of us got damage or lost position. Had. I known he was there I wouldn't have moved up. But regardless, I know I was on probation. So, yea.
 
I think if we are to fix the ongoing problems with cars being uneven, drivers need to join practice rooms throughout the week before the race, so we can iron out the performance differences between the cars. Trobes can't test all the cars himself, you need to take responsibility for your own car if you want to be competitive. Because as it stands, the differences in performance are very becoming very annoying.
 
On the subject of the cars bop i think we all have do at least so long runs in practice so we can see race pace and not just 1 lap pace because as we saw to tonight they are wayy different. We really need to work on this ,because at midfield i was out to lunch while brown was the fastest and i think jack was the fastest at GVE but theres only been one person who's been one of the fastest every round Brown were cool i no you didn't mean to do it. Sorry to tv and brown for punting them off tonight.
 
@Cole Brown although it may not have been intentional or given damage, you still caused two separate cases of avoidable contact from the last corner to the finish line. You are expected to drive within your limits and you clearly have exceeded them into the final corner when you made contact with @trobes29. While rejoining the track you failed to retain mental focus and forced @DcrRaikkonen into the inside pit wall, ultimately throwing away any chance he would've had at second after your first blunder. As a racing driver, on a sim or not, you need to demonstrate better comprehension of not only what you're doing but what others are doing around you.

@DcrRaikkonen same for you, punting off cars on two separate occasions in the same place even after being warned. I said this in the race and I'll say it here, you need to forget about the fast laps. Running one blazing lap is not going to win you the race. You should work on not making silly mistakes and running consistent times, and then go from there. You have potential, you're just not tapping into it the way you need to.

@trobes29, I think it's all been agreed upon these cars still need a good bit of work to help the overall fairness of this series. I don't think balancing these cars will be possible given their drastic differences. It was probably best to stick with a small set of cars that you could work with rather than letting everyone choose what they wanted. The only thing I can suggest now is to balance cars on average lap times over a full stint and possibly implement a success ballast system if one car is dominating the races. At least you are learning more about what needs to be done and I'm sure you will improve things for any future seasons.

This is just what I saw tonight guys. Hopefully you can all see this as constructive feedback and work to improve yourselves for the future. I don't say these things to beat you down but to tell you all where I think you can improve and become better race drivers and officials.

I say going to what Bambi said, this league take a two-three week break while everything gets sorted out.

And in all honesty the two points isn't necessary, that just rubbing salt in the wound. Giving me an 8th place finish is damage enough as is. 13 points out, and considering I won't be here next week, I'm out of contention. Was fun while it lasted.

We'll more than likely do that, things need to be fixed badly, but I'd feel bad if I did a complete re-haul midseason, but how it is now isn't working out.

I'm gonna be testing tonight for the Street Car Series. We have 3 options.
1: Take the Car List Down to 8 with Teams of 2 in each car.
2: Help me and show up to testing sessions and tune the cars with me.
3: Keep it the same broken way and continue to whine every week.
It's up to you guys.

Or..
Take a break for a week or two, tuning cars for the next × amount of races. Which could coincide along with option two, sorry. I was out with family for Easter.

Yea, now I'm tuning cars for Option 1 just in case more people want that, but I'll be testing all of them at Willow in more detail, hopefully with some help.

Will we be racing at willow this week or holding it off?

I like one or two and have no problem helping due to the fact i have spring break this week.

Holding it off, and at the moment, option 1 seems REALLY good. All the cars I've picked are REALLY even so far. I've been basing those cars on a 600hp, 1400kg regulation, with some having more or less to counter their strengths or weaknesses.

What cars? I'd assume you took put 4wd?
