NES (S3): Season 4 discussions etc

[PSN offapple]

It's raceday!
As usual, it would be helpful if you can confirm your presence at the event today, as it makes my job of contacting reserves easier.

Edit: Lobby is up!

Spoiler: Incident Report

LMP: Dirten and Splurge. Lap 3, turns 1&2. Dirten hit Splurge at turn 2 after out-braking himself at turn 1. Dirten -2pts

LMP: JKLingas and Splurge. Lap 8, turn 1. JKLingas gave position back, however mechanical damage was caused to Splurge's car. JKLingas -1pt

LMP: JKLingas and CrazyJohn. Just after CrazyJohn's 2nd stop, sector 2. JKLingas came across in the braking zone, causing Crazyjohn who was on the outside line to hit the car ahead. This resulted in CrazyJohn's car receiving mechanical damage. JKLingas -2pts and warning

LMP: JKLingas and Gugas. 2 or 3 laps after Gugas' 2nd pit stop. Gugas's race completely examined, but no incident found between him and JKLingas. The only thing remotely close we found was contact between Gugas and Dirten, although this was caused by lag so no action taken.

LMP: Gugas. Last lap pit stop. Gugas was in 4th when he pitted, and stopped in his pit garage which was ahead of the start/finish line. This means he was on the lead lap while in the pits. Joe managed to lap JKLingas before the end of the race, but not Splurge. When Gugas came out of the pits, Splurge was already up the road.
Finishing order changed from:
4th: Splurge
5th: JKLingas
6th: Gugas
To:
4th: Splurge
5th: Gugas
6th: JKLingas

It was nice chasing you @PSN offapple, I was planning to use RM on my last stint, but I click RH lol

 

[Sparkz_360]

Is it too late to join this (what sounds like an awesome series to take part in) series?

 

[Sniparator]

No it's not. You'll be able to join as long as we have seats available.

 

[Sparkz_360]

In that case, i'll be entering as a single entry, GR.3 only (will take part in LMP races next season).
Username: @Sparkz_360 Sparks_360 (PSN ID)
Car: M6 M Power Livery GR.3
Racing Number: 31 (if taken then 96)
Team Name: TBC
Tyre Manufacturer: Michelin

 

[CrazyJohn]

We have around 7 LMP people who regularly show up, so you might still sign up for that category.

Just saying, half of the field are in the Porsche 919.

 

[Sniparator]

Because it's a nice car. ^^ I'd go for that one or the R18 e-tron.

 

[Sparkz_360]

I’m not familiar with GR.1, my most used category is GR.3.
I’ll go for the 919.

 

[PSN offapple]

Both of your entries will be added, however please acknowledge that you will be on the reserve lists for both categories. Due to the amount of absences we regularly have, you 'should' still be able to compete in every remaining round.

It is advised that you send me a friend request through PSN so you can join the lobbies, be invited to the community, and join the group chat.

If you have any questions or inquiries feel free to contact me or one of the admins.

On a side note, I have completed my incident investigation of Round 5, and will be waiting on @CrazyJohn to get his viewpoint. After that, the investigation results will be added to the race results post. I will more than likely be accused of being biased again, but I'm used to it by now.

Have a safe flight to Nürburgring everyone!

 

[PSN offapple]

@Sparkz_360 has now been added to the entry lists and reserve priority lists. Their Gr.1/LMP number is #31, and their Gr.3/GT3 number is #96

 

[PSN offapple]

The special event has been confirmed for June 10th (the Sunday following Round 8). This event will be held on the Nürburgring's 24h layout, and will feature Gr.3/GT3 cars only. Qualifying and race start times will be identical to the Gr.3/GT3 races throughout NES S3. The BoP will still be provided by GT Sport, and the basic rules and settings from the NES carry over. The race will have a 1 hour time limit instead of the normal 40 minutes in the NES.

As this event is separate from the NES season, anyone wanting to compete must submit a new entry post for the event. You will not be bound to any cars or contracts from S3, so you can enter with whatever Gr.3/GT3 car and team up with whoever you want. The details you need to provide in your entry post are the following:
PSN username and racing number.
Team name.
Car.
Tyre manufacturer.
This entry list can be found with the others on Post #4 of this thread.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thanks once again for being a part of our community, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm also welcome to having teammates. C7 in the Gr.3 championship and N24, and the 919 in the Gr.1 championship.

 

[PSN offapple]

Finding drivers to team with will be easier for S4, as I plan to bring back the 'driver market' feature from the past. More info on that in the future.
Out of curiosity, @Sparkz_360 will "Need For Sparks" also be your team name for the main NES?

 

[Sparkz_360]

Yes that will be my team name. (Literally just came to mind )

 

[PSN offapple]

Yes that will be my team name. (Literally just came to mind )

Ok thanks. I'll update your entry

[Splurge]

Yo yo yo been a while since I actually checked here, just a quick post to say I'm not around this weekend for half the fields home gp (damn Porsches definitely not looking to change manufacturers) currently on holiday living the highlife travelling between Paris and Rome whilst the race is on, best of luck all and how the heck am I 4th in the championship?

 

[Sniparator]

If everybody else spins out or doesn't attend it's all your gain. ^^

Have fun on your holiday though.

The less people who finish the less it hurts, either way I was gonna be last round the nurb it's everything the Nissan hates

 

[Sniparator]

Yea the Datsun ain't really a fortunate built car to be fair. It needs low drag circuits. But the ones which would suit the car the most aren't in the game which is a shame, really.

 

[Splurge]

Yeah the one circuit it did suit I wasn't around for either, just the way it goes, definitely not talking to other people to see if I can switch manufacturers late on...

 

[PSN offapple]

By the way, I was thinking that I'll make a custom BoP for the Gr.1/LMP category for when S4 comes around so we can have a variety of competitive cars rather than just the modern hybrids. I'd like to get everyone's thoughts, opinions, and suggestions on this idea.

And also, thanks for saying in advance @Splurge. Hope you enjoy your holiday!
