I didn't want to block you // and I didn't block you.
Svensson just came nearer in corners and went away on straights... and when he tried to overtake there were some very risky tries...
There were just two GT1 cars who were both fast...

I hadn't got Blue Flag and I couldn't have known you were lapping when I came out of the box...

Of course you wouldn´t see a blue flag on all cars anymore as a lot of drivers suffered a DC or did a Shift-p/s. Tracker is the real thing here but you didn´t know, right?
See, I wasn´t on the server. My driver only tells me you block him for 4-5 laps.
Now.. just let´s see the replay and judge again. In case you are right, I appologise.

A happy TDRT@FXR race. Let´s see about the final standings in a week or so. Thanks to all participants & admins from the moving chicane drivers.

n!faculty -145 - M.Schnieders (phonixlooka). No need to stop your blocking. We make a pitstop instead of.
Looking forward to see the replay..

The race is fun and the FXR the best GTR car ever.

I assume it's a "thanks for sticking around and racing here to draw a crowd" thing?

Void, pls. confirm on this:
You need to have a certain (decent) laptime to receive a single/some support points?

GT2 skin changed.

Hi, sorry for a dumb question but I don't want it to happen the same way as with qualification, so I will make sure. Is the race on Saturday, 17th? And what time does it start?

I read the whole forum, but didn't find anything, except the countdown timer. Thanks in advance.

Time of race start is hidden there:

You might want to use mpredit if you got a huge replay on your hands.

Quote from rcpilot :

Yes, a few teams have gained from that in the past when no penalties were given and disconnects weren't reviewed. But, a lot of people are going to disconnect in the course of a 16h race with 80+ teams involved, and a vast majority of them will have their race hurt by it. Broadly giving everyone such a large penalty for a disconnect does far more harm to innocents and the overall ability to have a competitive race imo. You don't even really have to devote admin resources to it, just make it a protestable penalty to gain from a disconnect and most competitors would be happy to cry foul.

Quote from commandermas :

A really good idea. We will have a try for that next year and if it works out, we'll stay with that rule.

If you really think it´s a "really good idea" why not trying it this year already? It´s a minor change to the rules and there is plenty of time to announce it.

Quote from commandermas :

Usually, but if it wouldn't be penalized there would be teams, that could use it to make "faster" pitstops. One drivers joins because there is a driverchange coming. Oh the driver on track disconnects and immediately the new driver goes out with fresh tires and without a second of pitting.

I´ve to agree with rc pilot on this one. I´m not sure about all of the facts of an intentional DC, but you admins should try to find some better way then just add a +1 lap penalty to a team which possibly then will lose almost 2 laps (~200 secs.), in case they´d suffer a DC just just before the start finish line. The solution you present here doesn´t sound very elegant to me and might deserve a closer look at.

The questions to me (keeping the subject FXR/XRR engine damage out of it as here teams will make their own decisions anyways.. ) are:

1.What´s the maximum time a team could gain on a intentional DC?
Isn´t it something like refuel, tire change in- and outlap? A 30-40 secs all in all ?

If this is correct:

2.Any better way to eleminate this possible advantage?
How about:
Any DC´s before 1st split (which is at 30-35 secs. for all car classes at AS7r ) would mean SG penalty for the team, all other DC´s would NOT become punished as no time advantage could be gained on it? True?

@ Need to add something here: Admins don´t/can´t see where the DC has happened during the race. And drivers just can´t type " Pls. give us a DT" in the race chat. But teams/drivers will know and in case of a DC before 1st split, after their reconnect drive in the pits, stay there for 15 secs. and pick up their race again. Via tracker all DC´s will be easy to find after the race, the hopefully few DC´s are then to check by the admins after the race via replay.

TDRT ok

"And will also employ Safety Car Deployments.."

I guess unlike past season you´re planning on using the SC not only for the start procedure but during the race as well like IGTC.

In this case we´d prefere AS6...

Some link collection would be nice to have. For the tracker, the homepage, the registration site mm..

Quote from schumi91 :

Hey Rudi.. The Inlap is the lap back into the pits. The outlap is the lap out of the pits

I know. Was only to test you..

:crown: Shit happens..

Quote from exspeed :

Is it a must to do inlap or no?

Inlap? Yes mate.
Outlap I think you mean. Maybe some admin wants to confirm this: The lapper will only count full laps.
You are of course allowed to go in spectate mode at any time.

Quote from Intermediate07 :

I'm sure not all people want to race 16 together with only one mate But all in all it's ur decision.^^

I just found this:

16h 2009 rule:
1.5.1. Each team can sign... Nobody is allowed to drive alone.
