I agree we should turn penalties off for la sarthe, I think were all adults here and won't cheat or slam eachother intentionally, its not about winning
its about good hard battles right?

Guys I'm going up to the pocono's this weekend to sit my butt in a lake!
I'm not gonna make the special race tomorrow night
I'm gonna go thru racing withdrawals!
I'll see ya at practice Wednesday. Have fun!
Ehhh, that first picture is pushing it, I'd consider that cutting the corner
I had my satellite Internet company back out yesterday to do another site survey to hopefully solve my lagging problem. No luck. What I've got is the best I can get with the location the satellite dish is in and it's to weak of a signal from that bird in the sky to stop my lagging issues. So I'll have to stop racing with you with fellows till I'm out of my contract with them which will be middle of January. I'm to stubborn to pay the $250 they want for me to get out of it early. I'm not getting what I've been paying for anyway. So they are giving me a reduced rate till then but big deal. That still didnt solve my problem. So I'll just be hanging out helping the new guys with questions and so forth,poking some fun when the opportunity arises if that's ok. I by no means want to quit the league.
But psycho if you need my spot on the drivers list for a new guy I completely understand.
I still would like to watch practices and the races.
So it looks like I've got 6 months to practice, read, watch and learn to get faster a lot faster hopefully.
Hope all goes well tonight. It's going to be interesting. I'll be watching.

I think I'm going to sit this round out. I just don't agree with running this track without penalties. The pictures above are insane in my eyes as I don't feel a single tire should be allowed on the opposite side of any curb brick, let alone 3/4's of the car. I think Sarthe's penalty system is accurate and if anything a little bit lenient. There are too many turns where it polices fair driving and maintains race etiquette ( and I'm not even talking about the usual corners like the Ford Chicanes and Mulsanne corner, I'm worried about corners like the left hand exit of the Porsche curves, dunlop curve, and tetre rouge where everyone runs wide and unfairly carry exit speed). With all the drafting zones, not regulating exit angles/ speed through penalties punishes proper lines. When I'm not running in Turtle Racing League, I'm running Le Mans...and even with the cleanest drivers with the best intentions this doesn't work for me. I saw 3 cars take penalties in practice for doing what I'm worried about behind me and I feel they should have been penalized. I know many are going to disagree with how I feel, but I've taken 3 times more laps on this track than all my races with turtle Racing League combined and this is how I feel, so I have to stick to my principles. You gents have a good race and ill catch you Wednesday and I look forward to the new schedule!
Not going to race tonight watching the 24 hours of le mans.
Severe t storms headed my way, may lose power. Also heavy rain has a tendency to lag up my internet connection if not disable it completely (it has happened before) so I will make every effort to race tonight. If you guys think I'm lagging, or my car is freaking out on track during practice and qualifying please let me know, and ill sit it out![]()
Nothing like a spazzy car jumping all over the track to ruin a good race am I right?
