If your racing the Turkey 250 tonight be ready to join the lobby at 8:00pm central time. I would like to start it as soon as possible. If the lobby fills up I will start the race as soon as the 16th person joins. If not full then I'm starting it no later than 8:30 central. Don't be the late guy and not get to race. Not restarting unless somebody gets a no start glitch.

I'm available Monday nights. Do you have any more info other than what's on the first post?

First car and track combo is N300 Audi TT at Interlagos. Do not touch the power and weight. You can tune everything else. Sports Softs. I might start them this coming Monday.

Thanks for setting up these races, despite the glitches that were out of your control, I had a blast racing, it was clean and some give and take during my second race as the faster cars came through the pack and I fell back, never once did they run me over or bump me out of the way, they gave room and I gave room and it worked out the way it should.

I would also like to give a shout out to MRRacingLine? as he came through the pack he accidently hit a guy that went off track, I saw him pull off to the side and give the spot back. Great sportsmanship.

No if I only could have ran race one.......stupid glitch.

You, my friend have great sportsmanship. That glitch happens, just like last week. I too am trying my hardest to race clean and stay on the track.

I watched some Z28 videos and it really helped my driving.

Good luck next week and look forward to our next race.

Umm I was 11th race 2. It scored a lot of people wrong that second race. I went from 11th to 15th but no one passed me. The only guy that past me was in 15th or 16th, a lap behind me but got scored in front of me.

I went to the last lap on the replay of the second race of the night. I did notice discrepancies from final scoring to what I saw on the track. On the track discgolfproace finishes first However he had a penalty that was not taken in to account at that time which placed him in second place. I tried to tell who finishes where but I was not able to tell accurately without spending a good part of my day off doing this. Several of us got in a chat party this morning to talk about it. They did not know exactly where they finished either. Since this first league on GT Sport is mainly a test league to see how everything plays out I am going to leave the scoring alone at this point. See my next post for what I am going to do to try and correct the problem.

Update 12/3/17:

League Format Change - Effective Starting Race 3

It has been noticed that the scoring in GT Sport seems to be flawed and the scoring at the end of the race is not accurate. I will be changing the races from a 25 minute timed race to a number of laps race that will still be 25 minutes in length to see if the scoring is recorded accurately. All other regulations will remain as is.

I watched the replay too because I was marked 8th and finished 10th in the second race. It appeared to me that a couple of people were shown behind me 13th and 14th places but crossed the finish line before me and were scored in front of me. I don't know if they were actually a lap down or just being shown in the wrong place. I know Nasty_Nate1303 said during race one it showed me in 14th when in fact I was 9th and he thought I was a lap down when the two of us and marc9600 were battling it out. PD is going to have to fix this or it's going to be a pain having to figure out who finished where.

 

[Never2fast1]

Yeah it was messed up night for me. Couldnt move off grid race one and scored wrong race 2. I only one stopped second race which was only reason I was 11th. Oh well I am only doing this for fun, I am not winning this thing anyways.

 

[ynot]

If you can tell me where you finished I can look at making adjustments. Lets see how next weeks scoring plays out.

It's not so much the fuel as it is the tires. Turn 2 and the last sweeping righthander just eat up my front left like a new puppy dog with your favorite shoes.
