Hi Victor,

Please could I have a new sub-forum called 'spdoRacing GP2 Series' with myself, Hawku, Misan and MarcG as moderators, and could thread 55161 be moved there.

Thanks in advance.

I'm just posting to confirm that the current schedule and event timetable is confirmed and final.

A sub-forum for the league and a set of rules will follow.

Quote from Andrei221 :

Superb race, even if there were many quitters.

As for spdo i have 2 things:
1.Why didnt u join race when u saw it started? We did only a lap IIRC.
2.How did other teams come without a PM?

Two of our three guys were racing, but they were racing with the original rules in mind. You do know that the rules changed? Originally it was supposed to be a team race with 3 drivers per team, driving one LX4 and one LX6 between them.

You've let yourselves down here big time. If you change the format you should actually contact the 'team contacts' about it. We only found out after the race started and as such fueled our guys for 1 hour, and one of them (Hup) didn't even get to start having spent a few hours practicing. Really great reward for being one of the few teams to bother showing up.

1.: I couldn't have known this while racing

Well you had a blue flag and Chiodini tried to pass you, that's all that needs to be said. The same goes for Marques when he tried to pass you.

Comment:

1st: you never had the chance to get 1st in the last minutes of the race, the leader was about 20 secs. in front of us.
and 2nd: you were slower than me at this time so i decided to overtake you. The problem was that in front of me there was another car with a blue flag from me and you that didn't let me pass...

1) P1 drove the whole race without a driver change and will presumably be disqualified, so the guys behind you were effectively fighting for the win.

2) Check the lap times on race results - both of the cars trying to lap you were faster.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Driver to Report: #23 Schneiders
Race Time: 1-2 minutes to go
Lap/Sector: Entire lap(s)
What Happened: Blocking of 2nd (actually 1st) place car #00 while #17 was rapidly closing in on us for the lead. Failed to yield, allowing #17 to catch us and losing us the lead and the win.

That was awful driving from #23 imho :P.

I have two deadlines this week so once they're out of the way I'll try to get something definitive online asap. At the moment I don't expect the dates to change though.

Team Name: spdoRacing
Car: FZR
Team Manager: vincper
Team Co-Manager: Simon0015
Drivers:
N.Catsburg [NickC] (NLD)
S.Klein-Menting [Simon0015] (DEU)
H.Wong [Vincper] (NLD)

This isn't confirmed.

Yay to our hosting company for taking us off when we were nowhere near our "limit".

Quote from pacesetter :

Pm with pw will arrive tomorrow?

The first round isn't for four weeks yet!

Quote from EliteAti :

1 Question - How many races will be count for the final results? Im sure some ppl wont get it in all races

At least 5, maybe all 6.

As points are only awarded to the top ten and top eight in the main and sprint races respectively, I don't think it's necessary to have more than one dropped score.

Quote from GTR_PT :

My school schedule is a litle full on the afternoons but I'm interested, maybe I can find some space .

EDIT: to be sure the UK times in the schedule are not summer time (+1),are they?

The times given are in summer time. Events will start at 1800 UTC, which is 1900 in the UK and Western Europe, and 2000 in Central Europe.

Had to remove some drivers from our list...=/

Hmm, looks like most of the usernames in your post are incorrect.

Here are some lap time stats if anyone's interested.

Well done to F1RST for the double title - it pains me to say it but I think it's well deserved.

Quote from Darkone55 :

Although I didn't really agree with the DT, it's nice to Spdo win a race. So grats for you guys.

And well, I'll just say I'm very happy for our team. I am!

Thanks!

Quote from rc10racer :

Was the other way around josh.

If that's the case then so be it, I haven't got around to watching the replay yet - I'm too absorbed in the live action :P.

Quote from dekojester :

Attached the mpr for benefit. It occurs at about 3:10 in the cut I did. Wasn't sure of exact lap when I edited, so took from a couple laps before.

Thanks for the assistance .

• Lap 165
• #06 spdoRacing GT1 / #03 F1RST Racing GT1
• Sector 1
• I don't have access to a replay until post-race but I think it would be better to do this now, so here it is. Roque and Heikki caught up a lapped car exiting the first oval bend on lap 165, there was a gap infront of Heikki and Roque seemed to try and force his way through it, making contact with our car.

I'm not totally sure since I only saw it on the stream, but again I don't have access to a replay so I'll just let you guys look at it.

Edit: Lap 165 not 164 .

Quote from amp88 :

We've investigated this incident and rule it's a racing incident. No penalties to be applied.

I can understand why you've ruled that way, and I realise that the decision is final, but I feel that the following points are relevant.

Phil decided to try a pass into the corner, and Chris couldn't possibly have given him any more space. The contact was minimal, but it was Phil making the pass and he left Chris nowhere to go. The incident completely put us out of the race so I think given the circumstances a DT or S & G for CoRe would have been fair.

• Lap 4
• #34 spdoRacing GT2 / #30 CoRe Racing GT2
• Sector 1, 1m 05s into attached replay
• Phil attempted a pass into t1, chris stayed as far to the right as possible. Contact sent chris into the wall costing us around 75s and ending any chance of a victory.
