And please, be sure to submit an Incident Report Form which can be found on the OP.
I think that should be waived temporarily given the massive internet problems everyone was experiencing. Just my two cents.
Drivers that have dc'd receive points don't get me wrong, they don't recieve points if the quit from the race and leave the lobby.
Oh, so those who DC'd involuntarily are still classified. Gotcha.
No worries mate! Ii dont think ther will be many TBH, didn't see many incidence abart from the odd spin now and then.Working on it right now.
However once we get all the reports in we will update the standings.
If you speak about this incident, this is just a racing incident, no penalty can be given here.
I wouldn't say that it's stressful as I'm not the guy who practice and race this season. I guess drivers and especially race directors have more stress than me ahah. It's more a time consuming than something else lol.
The inside work is very stressful/complicated at times, going into it back in Season 1, I had no idea how crazy it was behind the scenes, however, this is perfect practice for my future business career.That's the point of racing in a series, I don't feel any stress. Working on a tune from scratch for each track to get it optimized is part of the fun, not as fun as the racing but still
Damn, I totally forgot that it wasn't on due to that, especially since now that we weren't racing lol. But of course there's plenty drivers in our series who have made it through, btw congratulations
.Despite all the drama I came out the other end with some points, not so bad... I really did not feel like including that round and for everybody else, but looking back everybody did get on with racing, when it finally did start and the endurance race seemed quite nice for those whose luck was good and didn't disconnect. I held on but everything that happened pre-race and from qualifying for AM was still very much on my mind and I couldn't help feeling empathic for everybody, which caused me mistakes and 0 focus. I wouldn't even get into a post-race report on my results cause honestly I can't even remember since my mind wasn't in the racing... But happy hung on and with our Steward's decision of an extra drop round, I hope everybody else feels the same and we can focus on Laguna Seca now
.This I found out just yesterday lol, my first season and my first race host with connection dramas. Boy did I have a nice surprise
. I came to the first corner dead last, and I saw my teammate @j1Nk facing backwards on the exit of turn 1 and I made up 2 or 3 places. Coming to the second corner I was following 2 of 3 Nissan's, and when I realised I was braking way later than them I had to change lanes to avoid them and since there was no other way to go I went to the inside. I dabbed the brakes a tiny bit while I bumped one of them but didn't cause them damage because it was a tiny tap. But while dabbing the brakes @SSJGZWarrior ran into the back of me and gave me left-rear suspension damage (my fault mate, I obviously caught you out with me braking a little more). The damage wasn't too extensive so I carried on and coming to the third corner I was on the outside of one of the Nissan's and I then put a wheel on the grass in the braking zone and slid off of the circuit, dropping me to the back. I then charged my way back up the field, with damage. I overtook a BMW, a Nissan and an Audi. A few drivers then disconnected, which I think were behind me. I kept going until I finished 5th. I felt it was a good race and I hadn't actually properly raced since before Christmas so I was a little out-of-practice but I felt I managed it quite well. Well done to @Ramalhinho91 on winning the sprint race.. But I kept the lead and started to pull out again. People behind me started to pit from damage, until @yuc2002 and @BAZZER were behind me, I pulled my lead out to 4 or 5 seconds before @BAZZER spun and pit for damage (I think) so it was me and @yuc2002. I extended my lead to 9 seconds before disconnecting half way through 
. But well done to @Toshost on winning the Endurance, even though I couldn't see you lol.
My night was eventful...
Qualifying
I got off to an O.K. start, I started my first lap and immediately ran wide onto the astro-turf at turn 1 and sent the car mega sideways. I lost about 1.3-1.5 seconds on that lap, which I ran perfectly all the way round afterwards. My next lap I nailed turn 1 in 3rd gear and headed up to the second corner, I braked late like I usually do but I forgot to shift to 2nd and I ran the car super wide, which cost me about a second after avoiding astro-turf and headed straight for grass to get back on the road. I qualified 7th, but was knocked down to 9th. Well done to @Ramalhinho91 on pole. 👍
Sprint
The grid was shuffled but I started 9th, I lost sight of 3 drivers during the process of the game setting up the race, so apologies if I bumped into anyone at the start. I started decently but then shifted to 4th by mistake
Endurance
I started the pace lap, and everyone behind me fell behind (not entirely sure why, I was doing 62mph / 100kmh), then the top 4 got into really close proximity on the front straight before we went. I timed the start just right and jumped @PJTierney to run into the first corner. @j1Nk again made a mistake, running 1 or 2 others wide at the first corner and I capitalised on that and moved into the lead. I kept going until about lap 3 or 4, when my lead extended to about 8 seconds, and then I spun
