Quote from MicroSpecV :Counter Protest
Session: Race
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident: L4 / 11:05
Car(s) involved: 88, 98
Location of Incident: T16
Brief Description of Incident:
1.1 Car 98 has room (1 - 1.5 car widrh) on left outer side of circuit but chooses to hold tighter line (fair tactic) however, my car was already alongside on the inside on corner entry, and as I adjusted accordingly to compensate for Car 98 line change.. when applying power on exit and with regular minor counter steering movement, due to lag had exaggerated the car placement and caused Car 98 lag contact, flick upward and pivot around my front bumper.
1.1.2 It was not in my best interests to P.i.t someone into a spin, let alone have car contact that way,
1.1.3 Steering movement from my car was not heavy or abrupt, although I try to predict and compensate my steering in advance of the netcode hitbox, I am not able to reliably do so especially when the car ahead is not predictable...
1.2 Sorry Jarod, but I don't know what else I could've done beside ceasing acceleration completely to wave you by :/ Didn't think the actual contact could've been anything more than a 0.4x cc but the ping must've made it worse as your car jumped up off the ground
That's all -

That is not how this works. There is no such thing as a counter protest. You are welcome to protest the incident also but we ask for a BRIEF description as it is down to the stewards to decide what happened. This is not a discussion thread.

Due to the above, your 'counter' protest is null & void and will not be considered. Please be aware that repeating such type of protest may result in penalties (see NDR Sporting Code May 2020 Article XI.1.4).

Should the stewards wish to ask for additional info, they will ask for it. A protest needs to be what, where and when. Not the why and how.

Event Specifics

1. Alerting the Administration:
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.

2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak

3. Broadcast
This race will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.

4. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format: Number, [space], first initial, dot, last name [eg. 00 J.Provost].

The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.

5. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.

6. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.

7. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying will be set to 22 minutes, with the pit exit closed for the first two minutes. The fast lane will be closed until declared open by the race director, at which time drivers may queue at pit exit in single file. The course will open for laps with 20 minutes remaining, and remain open until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.

Qualifying is run in Semi-Hardcore mode. This means drivers are only permitted to Shift+S or Shift+P from within the pit lane itself. Any driver spectating outside of the pit lane will not be allowed to rejoin the session.

8. Race Start:
Each race will have one unscored formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.

Note: the grid will be in the pit lane at 45 degrees, drivers are to leave this location in single file behind the safety car.

This procedure is different from previous rounds, please read carefully.

During griding for race 1, the pole sitter will be asked what side of of the grid they would like to start from. This side will be used for both races. All other drivers should file in accordingly.

On approach to turn 9 (Final chicane), The safety car and all other cars will turn RIGHT onto the international loop. There will be a rescue car blocking off the chicane route.

On the exit of the international hairpin, the safety car will reduce speed. All drivers should now be forming into the double file formation. The safety car will pull off just before the start of the pit lane wall. The leader and all other drivers should maintain a steady speed up until the green flag signal is given. At which point overtaking is permitted.

In the event of an aborted start, drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. The race director will then instruct drivers if there are any changes to this.

9. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 8 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

The race director has the discretion to operate a safety car wave around procedure as documented in the regulations.

10. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.

Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.

11. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.

You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.

If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.

Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Good luck!

7. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying will be set to 22 minutes, with the pit exit closed for the first two minutes. The fast lane will be closed until declared open by the race director, at which time drivers may queue at pit exit in single file. The course will open for laps with 20 minutes remaining, and remain open until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.

Qualifying is run in Semi-Hardcore mode. This means drivers are only permitted to Shift+S or Shift+P from within the pit lane itself. Any driver spectating outside of the pit lane will not be allowed to rejoin the session.

8. Race Start:
Each race will have one unscored formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.

Note: the grid will be in the pit lane at 45 degrees, drivers are to leave this location in single file behind the safety car.

During griding for race 1, the pole sitter will be asked what side of of the grid they would like to start from. This side will be used for both races. All other drivers should file in accordingly.

The safety car will reduce speed on the exit of turn 7. All drivers should now be forming into the double file formation. The safety car will pull off just before the start of the pit lane wall. The leader and all other drivers should maintain a steady speed up until the green flag signal is given. At which point overtaking is permitted.

In the event of an aborted start, drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. The race director will then instruct drivers if there are any changes to this.

9. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 7 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

The race director has the discretion to operate a safety car wave around procedure as documented in the regulations.

10. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.

Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.

If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.

Quote from Eric :Any MPR's available of both action packed events?

Peter and Travis did an excellent job keeping up with the action, but it wasn't possible to cover everything! Big grin

I found the issue, the link was set to http not HTTPS so would do weird things if you click it directly from the forum. I've updated them all to https now.
