Disappointing race. Started in 14th when I was able to run high 2.18s in practice due to botched qualifying 👎
JUst one qualifying lap but it brought me where i belonged so no hard feelings from me. The first 3 laps were very messed up but could survive and ran 16th. From then on i ran a good and consistend race and climbed to 12th place and was on the tale of @DON-mejilone but was surprised by @nepcon12 who rejoined (save btw) and braked to late and dropped 2 places back. From then on i could not get my full concentration back and made one other spin but could get back to 13th place. Had great fun though in lap 4-16 and learned a lot again. Congrats to the podium:tup:
And now a question. If a driver makes contact trying to pass and causes both cars to spin, isn't he supposed to wait for the attackee to rejoin before he does?
We normally ask drivers to leave ~8-10 second gaps, depending on the length of the lap and number of drivers. Realistically, unless someone crashes off, even the very fastest guys should catch people ahead. I wouldn't expect lap time differences to be 5 seconds?One suggestion is the line-up should be in order of the room allocation list so fastest ranking at the front so the fast guys don't get the lap ruined when they catch slower cars.
Yes, it's the passing car's responsibility to make a clean pass, but there so many possibilities available depending on where on the track and the speed and position differentials, that a few instances are specifically called out in the OLR where it could actually be the attackee's fault (like moving to block a pass, for instance).
We ask that you look at the replay and determine whether you think a rule was broken. Then contact the driver and see if he agrees or not. Depending on how that interaction goes you can then report it to the stewards. In some cases, the driver might be nice enough to apologize, and that might make you feel like you don't need to take it to the stewards, with a lesson being learned by both drivers.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
Sure that sounds fine. You could even invite us. Or invite them to join WRS. 💡Just to clarify (may be off topic), are we allowed to race this race again (on our own with others), providing we give credit to the WRS for making this race?
Great racing with Vipond! I've never battled with someone for that long in one race.
Also I'd like the stewards to investigate an incident. The incident took place on lap 19 right after the end of sector 1. I believe that PD for some reason decided to create a glitch in the matrix and screw my race. In fact, anyone that has the NA replay saved, please go to lap 19 and tell me what happened. You may have to put down your drink because you'll be laughing for a good 10 minutes.
There is a bit of a glitch on the mass take spacing qualification. The guys in the back are losing more than a minute of the qualifying time...by the time you get to the last 4or so out of 16 the time taken away from them is 84 seconds or a much as 105 which means they only get one lap at ascari. Luckily I did a ho hum 22.XX so I was 8th or 9ninth...right where I belonged...but at least one guy behind me was a DIV 3 or 2 who had screwed up his lap and it showed as he bulled his way through us mere mortals. I like the same procedure with split groups of no more than 8. This was not a problem before because we had 10 or 11 cars to deal with...or we had two rooms.
And now a question. If a driver makes contact trying to pass and causes both cars to spin, isn't he supposed to wait for the attackee to rejoin before he does?
See Y'all (I'm trying to be a southruner here in Tennesse) later at NA
Disconnected out of nowhere. I was having a pretty good race too. I know Jfro was right behind me, so sorry if I screwed anything up for you or anybody else. Sometimes I hate this game
