since my post was deleted i just wanted to say again that i apologied after the session and plutta was okay with that, so i dont see a point in reporting as plutta said "no problem". besides this it was a missunderstanding between him and myself, as i tried to slow down to let him pass, but he also slowed down very quickly for the boothy chicane, while i accelareted away again to go through the boothy chicane, but he still was there... strange situation
i totally failed this session... At first i picked the wrong setup, then i started with 60% fuel and later the session i had bad contact with plutta in the creepy boothy chicane, so he got stuck in the gravel about 3 minutes. And if that wasnt enough i destroyed the engine 10 minutes before the end of the session... Meh
i dont get why we've been punished 1 LAP DOWN if someone else crashed us. i mean, in the heat of a race, especially the first laps until everything is sorted you may wont notice yellow flags that quick, and even then, it doesnt mean you have to slow down to a mininum topspeed of 10kph or what... that guy did a unsave rejoin, he wasnt standing still in the near of the barriers, so it wasnt either avoidable or something else couldve been done there
i'm not telling the admins how to do their job, but i think its a bit harsh to penalize 1 LAP for this manouver we couldnt do anything against
but its also high amount of stress for the teams to manage all the logistic
and imo the summer break might be long for the fans, but the mechanics are working night and day during the weekends and travel during the week to the next track, so the long summer break is really helpful for them to get some fresh power for the rest of the season
We got some issues with airio, it wont save our pb.
Since i've been testing around on ky3b on NDR GTAL 2011 server a couple of times and drove some laps, i realized that sector 1 is all okay (2x green times) but from sector 2 and going it doesnt show up the actual best time and while crossing the finish line it first doesn't save the pb and second a message appears "PB was not saved due to fail path check"... so i drove another 2-3 laps, very clean, still not saved. And even when i drove between the white lines and without hitting the curbs it still doesn't save it. I also tried the FZ9 and XR9, nothing. I deleted the boothy lyt file and replaced it again, connected to the server, but it still doesnt save the PB. Now my teammate was driving some laps, when he told me that he got the same problems, while Gehammar just drove a new pb in his FX9 some minutes ago.

too bad i ****ing missed some hours of the stream, would've been funny to see the whole action. but since GTAL and all the chat there whilst practicing i pretty got used and informed to it now
my post above wasnt supposed to sound like there hasnt been action taken at all, it was more like a wink with an eye that some action may be done there, as its a rule.
and i'm sorry that i may be a bit petty minded, but we were not spared out from any penalties aswell
i'm not complaining either, i was just having a look at the tracker, because there is something i wonder about the position we've finished (lets wait for final results). just besides this i realized you were going more than 75%. administration made the rules and in my opinion they should also consider them
c)No single driver may drive more than 75% of their team's completed race distance. If there is evidence that there is no other driver to replace the driver exceeding the limit, the team may be black flagged from the race and removed from the course after a violation of the 75% rule is committed and non-correctable.
so if a driver drove 75.45% of race distance, he might get a penalty ?
