I could be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly, Gt3 and Lmp classes have been the most destructive. The historic cars have been most forgiving, slower cars in general seem to cause less destruction.Would it work better at this point to have two 'classes' rather than divisions? You already have that for the start with A and B groups and I think it works great. With two classes, all still race together, but one group is technically racing the other, just like the pro series only we're not in separate cars - although we could do that once a month or so as well and truly have a GT3/Cayman night. Therefore Mike would have been the Group B winner last week. I like that idea because then we don't have to say 'goodbye' to certain people and still get to enjoy racing together, it keeps the challenge of being on the track with other classes as well as keeping the numbers up. Besides being fun guys to have around we can also learn from the faster guys as opposed to being in separate rooms.
There's my bear!I could be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly, Gt3 and Lmp classes have been the most destructive. The historic cars have been most forgiving, slower cars in general seem to cause less destruction.
Can I suggest an alternative start procedure...?
Why? Last night with the start of Race 3 and the same with the previous week's start of Race 3 there were drivers blasting through at speed before the green was called.
I second this idea. Two classes, in order of speed. We still all get to race together, group B can still try to win overall, but will have their own class winner, and no need to have two hosts and deal with promotion relegation. OK, that's my .04 for the day, thanks for listening!I agree: Put the fast guys at the front of the line - they'll be passing us slow guys soon enough as they're lapping us so they'll have some fun traffic to thread their way through within 8-10 laps. They (the fast guys) get a good clean shot at the first corner, and us slow guys can focus on what's in front of us rather than watching our mirror trying to stay out of the way. That's why I've asked in the past to start in the back, that way I can focus on staying on the proper line and following a faster guy for a few turns to see their braking points and the apices/apexes they use so I can get faster.
Hello fellow racers,
I had a great time last night, thanks a lot for hosting the races aero and mike. Looking forward to next week.
Race 3 was a great battle until my PS menu popped up, stupid T300!!

I totally agree, I've been right on the tail of the car in front of me...and how many times have you all heard me say...Jesus I've got em on both sides!!.. I think I will go back to my rule of check my mirror, if your there just before the corner,I'm cranking it across the apex. Dive bombers beware, the bear is cutting off your nose!.First....thanks for the nice words guys. My wife would laugh her ass off seeing some of these comments about me. She would tell you all to come over and watch me or listen to me while the mic is muted. Second.....I somewhat agree with Sgeti. I know I have only been here for two weeks but I have yet to see any incidents in the start of the first race of the night. The incidents I have seen have been in the second or third races and I have been a victim of those both weeks and I completely think what I have saw in front of me is completely avoidable.The length or the races in this league are plenty long enough for fast people to work their way forward. My suggestion would be for the second and third races.... Have a gap like you do in the first race...maybe not as big a gap but definitely a gap. I believe that would let the ones at the back of the lead pack feel more comfortable that they don't have to GO GO GO right now and maybe they can wait a few turns to pass whoever is in front of them...also the ones in the front of the 2nd pack don't have to try and take it 3 wide into the first second or third turns to get by a slower driver. Thats my opinion and I believe it will help get things a little more single file.
I have been hit with the tuning glitch too, no ABS in race one sucked. There have been numerous times where my car feels so much different from qualy to race, anyone else?

After reading your comments, the majority asked to stay together, so we will do that for now. As soon as we start to have a regular occurrence of drivers not being able to get in because of full lobbies, then we will go to two rooms.
We will be trying something a bit different this coming Monday. It will be a two class race. We will split the drivers into the usual two groups according to the rankings as of last week. "A" group will start, followed by "B" group, after a pre-determined amount of time. Both groups starting order will be set by reversed ranking order for race 1, and reverse grid for race's 2 & 3, which will start with the same staggered start as race 1. This should ease the congestion and incidents at the start, especially for the last two.
So scoring at the end of the night will be for Group A, Group B and an Overall.
Race 1 - GP
Group A - Ford
Group B - Vette
Race 2 - GP
Group A - Vette
Group B - Ford
Race 3 - Int'l
Group A - your choice
Group B - your choice
Here is the reversed starting order for both groups as of last weeks active drivers. Positions within each group will likely change because of driver not attending or someone being added.

How did you get the words to go smaller? And who is clots? And has anyone seen my bycicle pump?So, it looks like Steve and I start at the back of Division 2, right at the back of the whole field, wassup wit dat? Cool, nowhere to go but up.
Div. 2 is where all us slow Wankers will compete for the Wankersomeness trophy. Named after Steve (Aerowanker).Who's got the biggest Wanker of the night?
Most of us slow guys never have a chance of being Awesome, but hopefully we can all be a Wanker once in a while.
How's the recruiting cumming along guys? Echo, echo, echo, shut up Clots.
Total BS KG! This guy’s as fast as me and clean as hell! Loved racing with you in gt5 and 6, excited to be racing with you again soon@aerolite @Mike Lobban can I join u guys on Monday’s, might need group 3 for me lol.
And I’m so ready to get wheel, I’m watching a lot of videos on wheel stands, and I’m leaning on getting g29 and if I enjoy using wheel I’ll upgrade from there.Total BS KG! This guy’s as fast as me and clean as hell! Loved racing with you in gt5 and 6, excited to be racing with you again soon
