Query:I've just had a look at Driver Classification by laps and me and
@Freddude did 109 laps in total, but on the Final Classification by Team, we finished with 107 laps?
J_Starsceam: 73, Fred-dude: 32.
73 + 32 = 105. The final classification shows 105.
I don't happen to be on probation for repeated failure to provide stint photos, do I?
No. You are not on Probation. You have shown that you understand both the regulations and most of the procedures of the series.
Probation exists to formerly notify drivers that either to this point, or recently, have failed to show that they understand the regulations and/or the procedures and format of events in the series. The prior will show up in an obvious fashion with a host of penalties and warnings, the latter will not show up on a log but will have created much frustration in Race Control.
Individual Drivers can be put on probation, however in cases where a whole Team shows that it has not understood what we are trying to do, this is seen as a failure of the Team Manager to make sure that the Drivers know what they are doing. As a result, a Team may be put on probation, and only if the Team Manager is either unable to find suitable drivers or is incapable of making sure their team knows the regulations, a Team may be banned and the Team Manager will be prohibited from running a team.
Me and
@CrazyJohnthe room got noted for these amount of penalties as well, but it sounds like SDM was rather given them the most.
Team Warnings Penalties
MWM____3______0 (0:00)
HRSC___12_____11 (20:00)
SDM_____4______5 (4:00)
VEN_____5______4 (2:30)
SSE_____6______7 (6:00)
CWM____6______4 (2:30)
DRR_____4______2 (2:00)
HYP_____2______2 (8:30)
TOR_____4______2 (9:00)
As you can see, SDM did not get the worst of it.
Many people got more penalties and warnings than I got.
You crashed your car trying to return to pit lane on numerous occasions. There is no specific warning or penalty for it, so it wasn't issued. In addition, it was clear you hadn't read all the rules and you took what has to be the worst Stint photo of all time, under Red Flags! You had all the time in the world to take that photo. Again, no specific warning, but a lot of frustration up in Race Control trying to decipher it.
And those are just the reasons why you aren't OFF probation - you were on probation from the GTP:SCS, and all Driver rankings carried across from that.
The Teams that are on probation, and may still participate in future events unless they do not improve their standards:
Harsk Racing Series Community - Repeated regulation failures of driving standards and procedures.
Speed Demon Motorsports - Failure to understand Race procedures.
Drivers that are on Probation:
Toshost - Driving Standards and Race Procedures
RoadRageDudez - Race Procedures
CrazyJohnIsHere - Driving Standards and Race Procedures.
Narrowly avoiding Probation:
J_Starscream - The penalty count is padded by Stint Photo issues that he resolved in his final stint.
HarskGaming96 - Pretty much every offense was Stint Photos.
Teams and Drivers on probation need to show an improvement in their behaviour in future events to be taken off probation. Failure to improve standards will see a Team or Driver banned from the series. The regulations may be complex, and people will make mistakes, this is expected. However we should not need to see Stewards issuing 87 Warnings and Penalties in a 6 Hour race.
Hopefully our next event will be better, and everyone is still welcome to race and field a Team. Just make sure you are up to date on the rules, which cover race procedures and we'll all get along fine on race day.
unfortunately you didn't get enough of a chance to stretch your legs and do more running due to the Red... it does seem hard to fathom that after 4 hours of racing, disregarding RF time, that we were just over a minute away from the win.
