Driver: GTP_Revoy

Incident: Contact with GTP_Revoy
Lap: 25
Result: Avoidable Contact. Stop and hold for 10 (+25 seconds on race time).

Driver: GTP_HAMILTONR
Incident: Contact with GTP_Revoy
Lap: 61
Result: Avoidable Contact. Stop and hold for 10 (+25 seconds on race time).

Drivers: Matheus-007 & GTOS_Polarbear_
Incident: Contact x2
Result: No further action.

* I have included this incident in the report even though there is no penalty because I feel it needs some explanation for our decision. There were two cases of contact at the start. The first, Polar, Matheus and Hamilton are 3 wide into turn 1, Polar turns in, making contact with Matheus, who couldn't turn due to Hamilton on the inside. Polar and Matheus' cars obtain damage, the damage to Matheus' car causes it to veer to the left, into the path of Polar resulting in the second case of contact. The contact from Polar initially caused the second contact from Matheus. We see this as just a case of unfortunate events, we can see no signs of malicious play or intent. *

Probably shouldn't be saying this but do I really lose penalty when finishing on the podium again? :P

btw, I've forgotten.. how many scores are we allowed to drop in a season?

You shouldn't have said, I had forgotten rb filled in for you at Suzuka! :lol:

Now adjusted your penalty to the correct amount! And you get 1 drop score.
 
Will race for food. If any AM driver needs a reserve for the weekend I should be available. If something were to come up I will inform you ASAP. All I ask for is a setup to run with, I taught myself how to make a pit strategy yesterday. :)

In other words, no more missed races for me. :P and 9pp penalty hah this is getting ridiculous (and I even thought I could have won this race.. penalty would have been crazy if I'd done that).

I usually set wear to very fast, drive until the tyres / fuel give up, pit and take note of fuel used, then times the laps completed by 3.5. For example, 10 laps on very fast = ~35 laps on normal wear, so you can complete a stint in 1/3 of the time!

Haha yeah, its to help promote those drivers who usually finish around 5th / 6th upto potential podium finishes. Usually works quite well :P

I prefer to drive full stints so I can actually get some practice in while I'm doing it. I like your method though if you're short on time.

I'd say on average, for the last 3 months ive only been able to get about 15-20 practice laps in per race. Just been snowed under with work, the more I do, the more keeps coming!

School and whatnot has been starting to do the same with me as well, I try my best to set some time aside for GT6. The only real intense practice I got for the WEC Nurburgring race yesterday was a Friday session and morning warm-up in your room. I will admit I did put off some assignments to still have time for that and to go out with friends so I'm sitting here right now grinding the schoolwork. :lol:

TheLuigi755: You're still listed as unconfirmed for the race this weekend. If you need a relief driver I would be more than happy to drive this race. Please let me know if so as soon as possible so I have ample time to prepare the car and myself as a driver. Thanks.

I'm dreadfully sorry for being inactive in the series for now, I suddenly lost all contact with this thread, even though I was getting alerts for it. Seriously, GTP?

How can you lose all contact with the thread?

The thread is fine, the website is fine, it's just you not bothering to actually check the "All Watched Threads" list.

If you use that you never miss a thing.

EDIT: stiggy y u do dis
