I don’t think we’re organised enough or competitive enough for divisions. Generally we fill events with a couple reserves, this series has been a little surprising in that regard.
Coincidentally I was thinking yesterday how it would be good to be able to offer the reserves a race for those who have been waiting patiently. I can only apologise I am unable to host more races as my schedule is very busy. I can’t promise anything but if I manage to find the time I will try and organise a race with reserve driver priority but it will likely be after the final race in October.
On the positive side I am planning on a second season in the new year.
Amazing you caught 2 Porsches. 1 in daylight and the other in darkness simultaneously.

I wasn't sure what happened there, I thought it was lag because the 2 cars ahead of me stopped suddenly (I think it was @GT5Apex in the Audi who you collided with), weirdly it seemed like the cars ahead were ghosted when I touched you so me and Barber escaped with no damage.Right before one of the SC restarts suddenly I had to brake (before the final chicanes) and I collided one of the Porsches (@GOTMAXPOWER ?). I hope I didn't cause any damage.
I think we are stuck whilst GT7 has a lower amount of driver slots in a lobby. I'm guessing it won't change due to the fact it is cross platform.Thanks for the reply.
I wasn’t really asking from a “competitive” point of view, maybe the word “divisions” wasn‘t the right word.
The main reason was simply to see if it would be possible to split the field into two lobbies to race contemporaneously should there be sufficient demand.
Racing in lobbies that are too small is not going to work so perhaps 24 firm participants could trigger this? As long as everyone who initially entered understood this, it may be an option to massage expectations?
Of course this may not be feasible as perhaps the demand in general may not be there.
I only asked because I have thoroughly enjoyed racing in TPC events in the past and was just thinking “out loud”.
Sometimes my brain tells my fingers to write stuff when I’m not looking![]()
Overall race time? If lapped, points shared between those sharing the number of laps down?With a pointed event it is difficult to run a second race as it would only be for fun. Hopefully a solution can be found.
I like the idea but I don’t think we have the numbers.Overall race time? If lapped, points shared between those sharing the number of laps down?
I’m sure there are a number of other options that could be explored if the need arose.
Thanks for this explanation, sorry if I caused you additional work, I was just curious.I like the idea but I don’t think we have the numbers.
We have 16 full time - only 14 of those were available for each race - 1 is out with a broken wheel until further notice - Generally 1 or 2 people have to drop out near or on race day.
We have 11 reserves - 2 of which can not race any more (I just haven’t removed them from the list) - 2 only signed up for 1 event - 1 signed up for only 2 events - etc - and a couple I haven’t heard from lately.
I think we struck very lucky with the driver roster this time and the way I have layed it out makes us look more full than we really are.
Edit: If I tally up right we only have 4 reliable reserves going forward.
No problem.Thanks for this explanation, sorry if I caused you additional work, I was just curious.![]()
I was the one ahead of @Kuraudo , I too had to brake harder than I wanted because of those ahead, but I was never touched thereI wasn't sure what happened there, I thought it was lag because the 2 cars ahead of me stopped suddenly (I think it was @GT5Apex in the Audi who you collided with), weirdly it seemed like the cars ahead were ghosted when I touched you so me and Barber escaped with no damage.
We had some good racing there in the middle. It was what made me abandon the fuel saving and go flat out. So thanks, made it much more funThanks to everyone for another great race. I’m really happy how smoothly these events are going, the racing is fast and clean as always, and I don’t think we could ask for better rolling starts and safety cars. Thanks to everyone for the continued effort.
I had a really enjoyable race. Kaz threw us a couple surprises with myself starting the race already in the dark, a surprising lack of rain and a mid race disconnect, but it kept us on our toes at least.
I enjoyed the reverse grid, it worked really well along with the additional fuel saving we had to do this race. It meant the fast guys didn’t just rocket ahead and strategies played out right until the end.
I found myself in the chasing pack again and was able to make the most of a tow from the faster drivers to pull myself forward for an overly flattering 5th place.
I Particularly enjoyed racing with @MaxAttack @RacingGrandpa @DarkSideNet @Chevy Heavy @The_Tullster @GOTMAXPOWER who were really pushing me hard mid race.
It was really good to see the podium once again going down the wire. Looking forward to watching those battles back.
We have a slightly longer gap until Nurburgring and I will likely add a chance of rain to that event given the final race is guaranteed to be dry.
As always I’m not expecting anything serious but if anyone does want to report any incidents please have them sent to me by Thursday and I will get the results updated at the weekend.

You beat me to it!How will the formation lap and safety car work with the Nurb being a long track?
At the minute I believe we have a full grid but I will let you know if anyone drops out.Put me down on the entry list for this Saturday, this will be the only one of these races I’ll actually be able to attend
