Race 2
Lap 1 Crash.
Priesty and sean was neck and neck.
I saw sean either move over or lagged and hit priesty. I was on the outside of priesty which made us touch and he went onto the grass which then hit sean again and you chris. Then cars hit me from behind.

If thats when alex lost control of his car nothing to be checked. He lost his car and I was unlucky to be hit. And thats it.
 
Report any incidents or they probably won't get looked at.

Edit: OK thanks Kammy.

Scores! (crosses fingers)

Great racing guys 👍

Race 1, Syjones took off into the lead and that was that, haha. Could keep up but no more than that.

Race 2, Lap 1 was a bit messy in front which meant staying out of trouble saw me in 5th at the end of Lap 1, up from a start of 11th I think. Mcglone was then tough to get past and we went for half the lap side by side, but Saggy and Kamy were pulling away up front. I pitted at the same time as those two, and after the stops ended up being able to catch up to Saggy. He made a mistake on the downhill left after the corkscrew and ran wide, car nearly swapped ends, so I got through and thought that was that, since Kamy was 9 seconds up the road by now. More or less a lap later, Kamy spun heading towards the corkscrew :D - Game on! Initially I wasn't going to try and pass, and to be fair it wasn't till the last lap that I was even in a position to try anything; even with Kamy's tow I couldn't do much, he had very quick pace. 👍 But on the last lap I thought I might as well go for it since Kamy was defending by now, but couldn't quite do anything about it. We both ran wide heading towards the corkscrew, Kamy very sideways and me just as much too, thought we were both about to chuck it away pushing each other too hard haha. All the time Jimmy was catching up behind very quickly, but to no avail.

Good job Syjones, Great job Kamy, 1-2! :D
 
To no avail could easilly have turned to losing positions. I made a mistake when you guys pitted causing me to lose my positiong to mcglone and nate. if i had kept it on the track and managed 2 smooth laps after that i would have been on you guys out the pits but unfortunately not!. then again, when i was chasing you down after mcglones mistake and alex giving way to the faster teammate, i was chasing you down but made a terrible mistake and got wide on the last turn AGAIN!. I would have been looking for the lead as my tyres were managed amazingly well which could be my uprise this season!. Good to see the atenza winning though, bit of variety.

As for my incident with nate. I personally think it was due to nate and priesty's issue. I was chasing them into that turn and nathans car was going straight pointing right and the opposite for priesty, they turned in with sean, and a mass of cars went nuts and i got away with a yellow beamer and a blue Atenza..

Nate is knight yeah?

He's who I couldn't see as I only had 11 cars on track :/
 
Preisty + sean:

Preisty turned in on Sean, giving him no room, causing Sean to hit Preisty just after the small kink before the corkscrew. The collision lost preisty speed, causing mcglone to crash into the back of his car. Preisty then returned to the racing line, barging Sean into me, who lost two places to the crashing drivers.

Minor warning to Preisty - Dangerous moves on Lap 1 at a hazardous corner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor warnings - Jimmy + mcglone + Knight_Spirit - Dangerous driving after event at corkscrew -
All three drivers barged through the bunched cars, resulting in heavy contact amongst the crowd.

Knight + Jimmy both off-tracked due to this event.

Final corner - Lap 1

Those involved can call this one if necessary.
I have no idea who could see each other, and who felt lost out due to the turn.

Coclusion:

This race was hard to call warnings on (note all minor) due to lag, problems with invisibility between drivers, and other issues throughout the grid. Watching through the Corkscrew, most drivers turning in were at some point stopped dead due to the car in front lagging backwards.

GT's recent updates have really caused some severe problems with the game's online, which will hopefully be fixed towards Christmas.

Grats to Syjones and Kammy on their wins, and to Moleman for his 2,2 finishes!

See you at Deep Forest

Absolutely gutted my internet went AWOL last night! It had been working fine all evening before that too!! Damn thing just kept disconnecting right before the lobby screen loaded up!

When I did get in, and watch a bit of race 1, it decided that driving on wheels is lame, so you all started lag bumping each other, and ended up racing completely upside down lol! roof racing ftw!!

Anyway, damn thing started working again normal a bit later that night, at about 11pm. just my bloody luck!! Hopefully it will work for the next round..... we shall see........
 
Gonna check the replay for any foul play. I'll make sure to put it here if I do!
 
The first few laps of race 2 look questionable from behind the pack, someone may want to look at that ;)
 
I'm sorry but i got a minor warning for a crash someone else caused? Wtf?
There's not alot i can do when i try to brake and then get rammed. Priesty , sean and you chris just stopped dead.

Not like i can get out the way from it. Sorry but them minor warning for jimmy, me and nate hitting you's should be removed.
 
I agree tbh but ill take it, no points lost. My main problem was nate and priestys cars being 1 big rolling road block..
 
As mentioned they are MINOR mcglone, for reasons preiviously stated. Respect goes to Moleman for his cautious crash avoidence, and then continuing to win the race. You or that car is quick man! Oh and mcglone, after a two hour session with Nate and Jimmy, I managed to get the setup just how I need it, and knocked two seconds off my previous best, and there is room for improvement. Might suggest a few things tomorrow.

Before starting future races, we need to make sure all cars can see all. And can everyone try to avoid exiting to pits, as it removes you from the leaderboard on the side, making it useless.

Your DC was funny though. >_>

Saggy catching to lap you, screaming "move sean move sean" over voice chat.

'SeanWelland has left the room'

"Oh cheers"

I think people exit to pits so they don't need to do a full in lap to get into pits, then wait for tires to get changed before leaving again. Each time you do it, it gives you another hot lap in the qualifying session, I generally pit after 2/3 fast laps, meaning I got an extra 3 or 4 qualifying laps around seca.
 
I know it throws the leader board but no matter how much testing we do, when it comes to quali I still feel I need to make adjustments. The fact we can't do this from the pit lane means I have to quit out. :(

I know there is still a couple weeks to Xmas but are there any plans to have a break?
 
the 27th and 3rd, i would like postponed if possible. im a busy bee over that week

Agree, I can't do the 27th, the 3rd is ok for me. I would prefer to have both off, as I may be busier nearer the time.

Backing out to change settings is fine, it's only shortcutting back for tyres that screws it. If you need tyres, man up and drive there, as I did all last season and all races up till now.

Thats better actually as you will drive with less fuel and a lighter car if you select o liters of refuel.
