The Rules
1. Drive as clean and respectful as possible. 'Door-Paint-exchange' IS ALLOWED and actively encouraged, BUT...
2. No hitting, ramming, corner cutting, or intentional blocking allowed.
3. If you bump someone (in front of you) in a corner braking zone, this could cause them to lose the inside (or 'apex-line') leaving a gap that you can squeeze into (on the inside). This is NOT ACCEPTABLE and you MUST allow them to exit the corner in front of you.
4. Accidents do happen. If you knock someone off course in a genuine accident, allow them to regain their position.
5. If there is any doubt as to whether you will be able to cleanly pull off a pass, wait till another corner.
6. NO DIVE-BOMBING! 'Dive-bombing' is where you come from an unrealistic distance behind the car in front under braking for a corner and collide with them, using their car as an 'extra brake'.
7. Bump drafting IS permitted as long as done properly. The bumping driver MUST back off before the braking zone to avoid situations as discribed in rule 3. (Bump-drafting is where you may not want to overtake the car ahead but you want to give them the benefit of your slipstream by bumping them on the straight to increase their speed.)
8. Drivers are expected to keep at least 2 wheels on the track at all times.
9. If you are disconnected at any time, you may re-enter the lounge and join the next race but you will not receive any points for any race you do not complete.

If there is any serious incidents, let me know and I will review between races on the replay.
1st incident = warning
2nd incident = 10 points deduction
3rd incident = Kicked from room!

Oh sweet Jesus... I tried to participate, but I felt like uncounscius - didn't know what was happeining around, couldn't understand a bit of voice chatting, launched race during qualifications accidentaly, and had reflexes of a 80-year-old man. Awww maan. Sorry for my behaviour, guys. I'm not myself today :/

Sorry guys had to make a quick exit , had to give up the tv for the basketball matches today.

Those ferraris really drive nice tho , its my first time driving one of them .

Great event homes, fun night 👍

Thanks all for a great nights racing. The new tyre wear caught a few of us out LOL and the new penalties at le sarthe are WAY TO agressive, but we all had fun.

Well done to Scalebreaker for winning. Driverone0one - you were also super fast and you both did most events with a pitstop (or 2). Sandman you also drove well. If only you did all the events and your setup allowed your tyres to last a little longer.

Is it possible to send setup sheets to friends?

Anyway = here are the final standings:

Hi All,

I really enjoyed that...great fun.

I just bought the Italia and went for it. Well done Scale.

Must say though...I stiffened the suspension and added front camber to help with turn, nice car to drive.

We should to it again.

Thanks Homes for the awesome evening.
