VRR Super GT Series--Thank You EveryoneOpen

[Eva]

The reason I don't understand why we have qualifying ballast is because I thought they got rid of that in Super GT.

Not from what I've read.

 

[trobes29]

Just thought I'd let supermac know, the Z4 won the GT300 Championship in 2011 and 2014 (:

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

In 2009 the only thing they changed in the last 2 races was in the second to last race it got halfed and in the last it was completely gone

Is it possible to switch chassis mid season?

 

[trobes29]

Is it possible to switch chassis mid season?

You're only allowed to change classes once per season, no switches amongst the same class though.

If you are switching classes yes. Unless it's that then nope.

Sure hope I don't get any penalties. Put my tires on the line in the chicane IIRC, not sure if that's legal or if it's like CORE where you get +30sec. That and I accidentally cut turn two once when I misjudged my turn-in and put all 4 wheels off through the inside grass. I don't think I gained any time as I slid back up onto the track.

SERIES UPDATE: Following a lot of research, I did find that after 2009, success ballast for qualifying had been removed. To make up for my mistake, success ballast for qualifying has been abolished. I will message everyone affected by this their new success ballast tonight. I advise that EVERYONE review the OP as soon as possible.

I'm not CORE and I'm a tad bit more lenient when it comes to racing errors. I will review the race tonight.

Feels great to stretch my legs a bit and put on a good performance. No major mistakes all race despite being ill at the time so that makes it all the better. I would like to thank the race organizers (@BRRT_Angel) and fellow drivers for making it a great race. Shame @trobes29 and @AJHG1000 had a disconnect and @JACKOLANTERN1 had his own issues. Not sure about future rounds as of yet but I'll try my best to make a few more. Thanks again to everyone and I'll hopefully see you in the very near future!

That might be an idea for S2, but we'll keep what we have until season's end.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

@BRRT_Angel Cool with me

 

[PEAGLEZ7]

To be clear, the ballast for winning races is still in effect?

 

[Chris hatten]

To be clear, the ballast for winning races is still in effect?

I think so

 

[Eva]

I think so

Yes.

 

[Eva]

If you look at official results, it has your name, points earned in the race, ballast earned in the race, then your total ballast.

 

[PEAGLEZ7]

After a short test at Tsukuba I have determined that it is going to be an extremely interesting race.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

So we would stop racing at an 1:30 min right @BRRT_Angel. If a race goes over that limit

 

[Eva]

No, I set the races to timed endurance races.

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

K and some races are looking really fun (tsukuba) 👍

 

[DcrRaikkonen]

Not that i should care but the Autobacs weight is 1175kg not 1150 like you have it

 

[Eva]

With everything going on during the 22nd, I expect Motegi to have a low overall driver count.

That sucks.

 

[NearCptNitro]

What's happening on the 22nd? I feel like I missed a huge memo

Our race at Motegi, real life Daytona 500, then Peelster1 is hosting a GT6 one that night. I expect to be missing half of the GT300 field and maybe 2 from GT500.
