Who knows, might be a lot of swedes on the podium...

Edit: wait, how did you get TOR as winner? ^^ they didn't even finish in room 2? Did they disconnect really late?

I think P24 might take this one?
 
THAR won in Room 1 and 3 but Adam didn't finish in Room 2, just noticed that I'm the only person to win in both CSS and the VLN Nurburgring 3 Hours :) Seems I'm pretty good at getting no damage for 3 Hours!

TOR didn't even start in room 2
 
P24 is my bet here. Though I'm very happy with 2 wins considering we're an AM Team and also using a new setup which I had no running prior to quali, I was cautious in some places since I had a moment in quali which could have had bad implications in the race.
 
Calling all room 3 drivers!

A slight technical glitch has occurred trying to steward room three. Since Jammyozzy only completed a single lap, and GT5's replay menu system is awful, there's no way to actually skip through his replay. Does anyone have a better replay from room 3, namely;
@LancerEvo7
@revetion
the-burre
@GreenHouseFx
@attrapp

PM me and we will work out how to exchange the files.
 
Also during the past few weeks I have been having issues which downshifting along with a jumpy throttle, the downshift issue is annoying when you end up shifting down 2 gears for no reason and ending up in 1st gear(which I don't use) instead of 2nd.

Room 1 Report

Lap 1 - joetruckV8 - incorrect grid position
Verdict -
Disqualified from Round 2 qualifying (Start from back),
Driving Standards Warning 1/3 - Not only was it clearly announced that qualifying was over before you had set the time the moved your position, but the starting order has also been written in the chat-box to clarify. Amazingly no incidents occured from this at the start, and I salute all the drivers for showing such skill. Please make sure that drivers remember their grid order for the start to avoid future penalties.

Lap 4 - JoeTruckV8, TDZ-4-12-14-88, i-was-ere - Collision - Accident
Verdict -
NFA

Lap 8 - LordZ1978 - rejoing blocking
Verdict -
+60s, Driving Standards Warning 1/3 - While you were very good at keeping out of the way for the most part, on this occasion you not only almost reversed into the path of a car travelling at full speed but were completely blocking the track for Play117 at the sweeping left.

*Overall, I am very impressed with the determination of the drivers. All by one completing the full three hours was fantastic to see.

*There were a few issues that were seemingly the sympton of drivers not having read the information on the Opening Post and Driver's Brief. Ignorance of the information dispalyed here is not a defence and I expect there to be far fewer issues with the start and qualifying next round.

*Finally, and this seems to be a recurring theme throughout the rooms, some of the driving standards on display were fairly poor. Especially since these are the build up to a 24hour race, it is important to remember that you should show exceptional care when racing with other cars, losing 10 seconds through having to slow down or follow someone through a 'single-line' section of track will benefit you in the long run compared to loosing several minutes through an accident.

Room 2 Report

Warmup Lap - T-N-T-2000: incorrect grid position
Verdict -
Disqualified from Round 2 qualifying (Start from back), Driving Standards Warning 1/3 -The starting order has also been written in the chat-box to clarify. It was even started just before the race that it was double file start.

Warmup Lap - Plotnik - Incorrect start Procedure
Verdict -
Standards Warning 1/3 from Round 2 qualifying (Start from back),
Although it was a misunderstanding that has now been sorted out, there was still no excuse for not reading the drivers brief or any information given out. It was very close to causing a pile up at the start and contributed to the mayhem that followed.

Lap 1 - memto89 - RS_96_o0 - duke_adam46 - Plotnik - T-N-T-2000 - Racing Incident
Verdict -
NFA
Although some silly driving was performed there was no one person at fault for the crash, it was just 5 cars trying to fight for space in one place. Please remember that it is a 3 hour race and there is no need to fight so hard on the first lap at all. Also TNT you were the only person not to be on the brakes during the incident which resulted in not only yourself getting damage but also giving DukeAdam very heavy damage also, if you had hopped on the brakes till the incident had cleared you would have been able to carry on without any form of damage.

Lap 1 - TNT - Driving standards
Verdict -
Standards Warning 2/3
As has already been explained, it is not accepted by any one to use the headset or chat box during qualifying and the race. It is inconsiderate toward other drivers. The rules clearly state that if damage is caused by a crash either involving yourself or another driver it will be investigated after the race, but a disconnection is not anyones fault and therefore a restart is required.

Lap 9 & 13 - Romisagon - Driving standards
Verdict -
Standards Warning 2/3
If you are not fully in control of your car and the leaders are coming past you please put you car on pause until the leaders have gone past, there were far to many incidents where you were weaving across the track when people came past and you almost caused many accidents. Please be more careful and make sure your not putting other drivers in danger.

Room 3 Report

Lap 1 - jammyozzy - GreenHouseFX - Avoidable Contact
Verdict -
+60,
Driving Standards 1/3 - While the incident itself wasn't especially reckless, simply outbraking into the first turn on a damp track; you're conduct afterwards was pretty appalling. This is the build up to a 24h race, you drove the car under green for just under 60 seconds. Sort it out.
 
Thanks for putting the results up. Just one point, your final graphic, the bottom table should be for 'TEAMS - AM' not 'TEAMS - PRO'.
 
Great job from the Poles to catch that win! And fantastic job from my fellow GORE comrades to get the team up to 2nd place in the race and the early standings. A special thanks of course goes out to MicAntony who even challenged for the win in room 2.

Really didn't expect us to catch another podium, this is our best result yet and I'd love to see them keep coming. ^^ We might have to hire reserve drivers for the rest of the VLN though as attrapp and the_proffs can't really race at the same time at the moment, but we'll see about that when we're getting closer to race 2!
 
Well one of the points of having 'triple lobby' overall time based team results is to reward teams that have good overall performances rather than 'a star and 2 spinners'. Unfortunately disconnects skewed the results a little but it was still nice to see the teams that persisted through to the end get some reward with a good result. Congrats to all 3 that made the podium
 
Sorry I could not wait..... It´s very nice
and all the cars are avalible from the beginning very nice
That's the part that excites me. No more having to hope and pray the car you need will show up in the OLD or UCD, or begging someone to give you a car ticket, or trying to hack your way into owning a certain car. Now I can either just grind away for the creds I need to buy the car or just buy the creds I need.
