Hey Joe, looking forward to battling you at F1, been too long...
PS> I'm in Turtle Town and set a good hotlap after Pit at lap 18. I'll be around for a little while longer if anyone wants to practice or spot-race...
My helmet is glued to my head, see photo on left... From behind, you can see chains wrapping around...
<--
Edit:
I gotta run out for a few hours, but I hope some of you will be around at about midnight EST/DST...
Try to beat my SuperPole...

But can you repaint F1 cars? I don't think you can, therefore my suggestion of different helmets.

I thought this was the FLEX thread and you were talking about the Lancer Evo X TC. It makes sense now and it's a good idea! 👍

No brake lights. Can someone say collision penalty much?

Yes, and it looks like your color combination and car number are both available. Just accept the PSN Turtle FR's we send you and you should be good to go. Please read the OP and familiarize yourself with the policies, rules, and regulations of this series. Thanks, and welcome to the Turtle Racing League - Enduro Racing Series!

Thanks TR! I had good races in FLEX with the other drivers so the Enduro series won't be any different.
Which room do you use for the enduro series?

Race 18: Tokyo R246
Car: Ferrari F2007
Laps: 35
Tires: Racing Softs
Date: November 17, 2012
Prize: Level 24 Ticket
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.
Policies
It is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1 and not try to improve 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. 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.
"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. The first turn on this track is tight. However, you must still hold your position through it. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to the turn because the straight is so long. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. 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. However, 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
Racing begins at 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific. Divisions 1 and 3 will race together in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge. Divisions 2 and A will race together in the TURTLE_DivisionA lounge. The final results of each division will be separate.
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
Step 2: Reboot your PS3 before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache before entering the appropriate Turtle lobby
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.
Penalties
The corner cutting penalty system works very well on this track so we shouldn't have any issues with corner cutting.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
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
Be sure to break in your car. If you did not get a chance to break it in, you should at least change the oil.
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.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!

Will there be time to do an oil change between rounds? I'm guessing not, but have to ask.

- TEXAS-TURTLE-ONE
There will be enough time (15 minutes), but because the 2nd race is "reverse order" starting grid you would start from the front if you left the lounge and returned. You would then be expected to let everyone pass you at the start of the race.

Just a comment:
In real life racing this is very well known, regulated and adheared to by all Pilots, there is one additional caveat I would like to throw out there:
The Half Way Rule
If a trailing Pilot puts the front of his/her vehicle half way or more past the leading Pilot's vehicle before the turn-in, the pass is considered complete and the leading Pilot must conceed the position through the turn or take the outside line through the turn letting the challenger exit on the racing line if the pass remains complete through the apex. If the challenger cannot maintain half way or more, he/she must conceed the racing line on exit.
In the following picture, the Black car is more than half way past the Red car, pass is considered complete. The Blue car is more than half way past the Black car and the pass is considered complete. Moreover, the blue car is half way past the Red car, thus his pass on both cars is considered complete. If this occurs before the turn-in, the Blue car has priority through the next left hand turn.
I propose this be made part of this League's rules.
Thanks. Regards,
Tom
