Well, somehow I got the avatar changed. Gave me errors when I did it. The small text is pretty much unreadable in that dinky format, so...

Crap I forgot about practice tonight. I was so caught up in practice and racing in a 200 lap race at indy super speed way with formula GTs I completely forgot about this league. I'll try to be in turtle town tomorrow to do some practice.

Our speed intimidated you Ph1sher...it's ok. The first step is always admitting the problem. Lol... in all seriousness, you are a great driver and we are glad to have you when we can. Hopefully we'll cross paths (or racing lines) on Saturday.

Rules
You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
"Rubbin"
This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league! We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.
First Turn
You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.
Procedures
Division 1 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division1 lounge
Division 2 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division2 lounge
Division 3 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge
Division A will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache
Pit Stops
Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
Microphones
Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.
Reminders
Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1
If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!

Special Class Race: Circuit de la Sarthe 2009 with Chicanes (with time change)
Car: Ford Mark IV Race Car '67 | Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car '67 | Jaguar XJ13 Race Car '66

We'll be doing a mock 24-hour race over our approx. 2 hr race. Night at la sarthe! Woo hoo! Cue fireworks
The actual 24 hour of LeMans is that same weekend.
If you dont have one of the cars, start saving your credits now!
In testing, the jag seems more stable, but the ford and ferrari are faster in my lap times. It will make for an interesting choice, particularly with the penalty system at that track. Anyway, we'll discuss more in a month.

Sorry I missed the second race tonight! I thought i could make it, but tiredness prevailed. I'm sure it looked like I was driving drunk.
On a lighter note, I noticed while pulled over in the pits that we have been getting scammed on races with multiple pit stops! The pit crew never gets fresh tires after the first pit stop, they just hold onto the original set. So on our second pit stop, if and when needed, they are just putting the original tires back on!
(Yes, I know it does not matter and it's just a visual aid for the coding in the game representative of replacing the tires on the car with fresh ones)
Night all!
