UPDATE to SC & VSC speed and calculation for SC
Safety Car Maximum Speed: 80 kph / 49 mph
Virtual Safety Car Maximum Speed: 80 kph / 49 mph

11. Adding Time to the Race
The race is scheduled for 45 minutes, plus one lap. In the event of a Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car, time will be added to the race time, up to a maximum time of 60 minutes plus one lap.

Safety Car:
For each complete lap of SC: 115 seconds will be added to the race time.
For the lap of deployment, (approximate %age of lap left to run115s)0.5 will be used to divide the full lap, and added to the complete lap total. Example, Leader is at split 1 when SC is called, (115x0.66)x0.5=76s (rounded down)

I’m in! This should be interesting

Quote from NumberTwo :

Firstly I apologize for being a bit late, hopefully this protest can still be counted. I started typing it 4 hours ago but had problem with baby screaming so couldnt finish it.

I protest the decision to give DT to car 02 for a crash with car 9 on lap 1.

I can offer my client side race replay to prove following:

1. I lift from throttle before my car comes close to car 9
2. In my replay two cars dont touch
3. In my replay it is clearly shown that a packet update caused a "lag hit" and speared car 7 into the wall, not according to power of possible hit from behind (as speed difference was minimal between two cars, so crash like that would not be possible).

I feel like i should not be punished for game's deficiencies. Server has been laggy whole week (The green bar was jumping all the time) while my ping (and cars 9 ping) was stable.

Let me know if video evidence from my replay, or my replay is needed. I feel accident should be judged from my client side replay, as it will clearly show what me as i driver saw when racing.

As this is a decision of the stewards, this would have to be an appeal. Details on how to appeal and the timeframes that this must be within are detailed in the NDR Sporting Code section VI.4.

Quote from D4NO :

Protesting about DT penalty Ive been given for hitting car number 34 in lap 18 hairpin. Race number 2. In such situation i couldnt avoid hitting the car in front as he closed door right in front of me unaware of me being close to him. yes i could have waited for him instead of going after he spun but from my point of view i wasnt the one doing the mistake going into the corner so why would i be paying for that. So please look at the incident once more thank you. Daniel Lukaštík, car 08

You need to submit an appeal for this. All information regarding this is laid out in the Sporting Code Section VI.4

Quote from Kristian K :

Since there is no race discussion topic this round, I’ll write this here.

Multiple drivers, including me, have wondered why there was no information shared on car 40’s false start investigation. I would not personally mind this non-informing way of dealing with the matter if nobody knew there was a jump start, but this time things were significantly different as the server tracker sent a message to everyone (not only race control) about a jump start by car 40. This obviously is something that the race stewards need to react to, and it didn’t happen.

I personally think that things during the race should’ve gone followingly:
1. Tracker: “Jump Start by Car 40”
2. Race Control: “Car 40 under investigation for possible false start”
3. Race Control: “Possible jump start by car 40 reviewed – no further action”

After this there would be no complaints. Everyone knows that stewards have reviewed the start and case closed. No jump start, no penalties given. This time we only got the first message. Even messages 1 and 3 would have been enough. Drivers shouldn’t have to ask mid-race whether something has been reviewed or not if they get a notification by the server tracker. I assume that if there is a jump start message, it will be automatic drive-through penalty unless the race directors state something else.

The main problem I see in this incident is that race directors should be there for the drivers. Race control knows that there will be no further action but the drivers in the grid do not unless it is communicated to them. We do not have team managers/engineers communicating with race control and the driver. Now we have only drivers and race control which means communication becomes a key factor and I feel that Sunday was a disappointment in that matter.

Quote from Viperakecske :

And on top of that when i asked one of the stewards after race 1 why no information about the penalty during race,he simply reacted "why would we need to?".
Which is kinda funny considering its an NDR hosted league,expectations higher too.
In my opinion its not that hard to notice the others about the situation,when there is like 9 red colored "steward"on the server
.
Thanks

Hi both,

I understand your view with this and will share with you the internal processes we use...

The 'jump start' notification was a technical messages for the stewards to investigate. However this message is not to be mistaken with any administrative decision. The latter are only the penalties with their communication as they are the only one impacting the course of the race from the outside. This message does not mean that the driver did in fact jump the start or not. The insim can detect the slightest movement etc from the car which is why we review all starts. Regardless of this notification, the starts are reviewed (hence other penalties for the start procedure being given out).

It has not been standard practice for NDR to notify of incidents under investigation in the server previously (especially when using a 'sprint' format). The stewards review many many incidents throughout the race and one of our considerations is that this could lead to significant 'spam' in the server chat.

For the avoidance of doubt, as long as there is no penalty announced, you should not assume another competitor has a penalty.

We will of course review this and see if any procedural changes are needed.

Thanks
JP2

The NDR Board was referred Car 88 from the 6th round of the 2021 GT2 Challenge for further action on the NDR level. The Stewards elected to disqualify him from the meeting.

The NDR Board have elected to place Sean Lee on NDR Probation for 12 months, effective from the date of the offence (21st March 2021). Sean will also have his stewarding status revoked, and will not be allowed to be in Race Control during any race meeting without advance permission.

This decision was made on the 25th March 2021
