Wow, if it's going to be that much fun they may just let you win! :D
 
Again, wasn't able to make practice even after buying the car. Still using most of my free time to search for work. Hopefully I can make the Saturday race.
 
Hey, I had a lot of fun racing with you guys, but I think I'm going to take a break from the league. I really enjoyed it but I don't think I want to race that late anymore. I might come around to Turtle Town every once in a while, because it was awesome racing with you guys.

Thanks for all the good times.

Turtle Racing League - Enduro Racing Series​

Race 36: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Car: McLaren F1 '94
Laps: 20
Tires: Racing Softs
Date: April 27, 2013
Prize: 1994 Birthday Ticket


The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports​
"It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."

Rules

You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.

"Rubbin"

This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league! We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.

First Turn

You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.

Dive Bombing

Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.

Procedures

• Division 1 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division1 lounge

• Division 2 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division2 lounge

• Division 3 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge

Connection Issues

Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.

Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache

Pit Stops

Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.

Quitting

Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon! :grumpy:

Microphones

Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.

Reminders

• Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1

• If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter

• If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back


Race Incidents

Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.

Final Note

Race Clean and Have Fun!
 
Alright... I got the itch... I'm gonna run this tonight instead of watching the end of the Richmond race. I've got the F1 breaking in now. Probably won't run Tyro, but will do some warm ups in Turtle Town at 9 to make sure I'm at least up to D1 pace and won't cause problems for others, lol.

Edit: My back is feeling a bit better... hopefully it holds out.

Noooooo. I'm not going to make it tonight.

I have a question though.I bought the dlc just for tonight's race. But what else can I do with it? Can it be put on share for friends to use like a car?Or can only be used in my lounge?

Thanks
 
Great, lap 11 and I lost power. Whole house went dark. Ran a 2:12.5(lap 8 I believe) and was feeling good about the race.:banghead::banghead::banghead: hope my disconnect didn't ruin anyone's race.

I was in Watkins glen today and I saw an NSX :drool: I tried to follow it but I got stuck behind a bus and then stuck at a red light, after 10 minutes I thought it would have been gone to far ahead so I turned around to head back to town, and then I see it again head the same way I just came it was 🤬 behind me I could have just pulled over then pull out behind it :banghead::banghead::banghead:. then spent another half hour trying to find it again and failed. so a couple hours later I'm pulling out of burger king and saw this... I can only give a link right now trying to figure out how to embed videos. http://youtu.be/Tqtysaq9YuU first half is just me following it then a crotch shot (sorry) but then I get out to go look at it.

Stalker! :lol: Just kidding, that is really cool. If I didn't have GT-5 I would have walked/driven right by that car without even noticing it. Quite an amazing machine. Thanks for sharing! 👍
 
That McLaren is a fun car. Going to have to revisit that combo again. Great racing in Div. 1. The first few laps of race 2 was good fun. I think we all gained and lost spots at el rouge.
 
Gents, it's been a fun run but it looks like due to unforeseen circumstances I will be retiring from all online racing for the foreseeable future. I wish all of you the best.

It's been fun racing with you.
 
I guess his account got banned for all those hybrid's he's obviously been driving.


;-). Seriously, Going to miss racing with you Choate.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that Steve. I hope she gets better soon. You have always been willing to give pointers and advise to help Turtlers get faster, so you'll be missed while you're out. Hopefully we will see you back soon because your wife is back to healthy. Real life, and especially family, is always the most important thing.
 
Boy have I been busy the last two days, saw my first NSX and GT-R yesterday, and today I saw my first AE86 at an scca autocross event. I got a bunch of videos from that today. I'm going to start uploading them now.
