Unless I did a misscalculation, do I get -1 penalty for accidentally pressing a smiley key?

Yes, it's a 1-point penalty for each line of chat. We prefer to do it that way since there are plenty of points on offer and we don't want to ruin people's racing experience. It's listed now.

Do you love to make mistakes?)) (car - rus, nation - null)

I try to provide the results and standings as quickly as I can. Mistakes can happen, if you find them you can point them out. It's not like your points were wrong, it's just an oversight.

Without looking at your results, I think it's fair to say that the points system is such that only "pretty good" drivers are better off on grid 1. My skill level is definitely low enough that only a really lucky result on grid 1 would be better than I'd be likely to achieve on grid 2...
NB: this appears to be a deliberate policy decision, not an accident.

To be honest, and I don't intend to upset Dom or anyone else (I really appreciate the effort you guys put in organizing this kind of stuff), but point delivery system for GTI Trophy was bullshit.

Its really not fair that a guy who is finishing middle grid 1 to get as much points as the guy who finishes top grid in GRID 2.

We, the ones who qualify for Grid 1 have much more difficult races to deal with since everyone has a much much MUCH faster pace (20 cars could fit in 0.7 previous round after qualifing). While in Grid 2 you can win the race having a lot less headackes and intense battle and bla bla ****ing bla. I think whoever reads this gets the picture.

As Neil was saying, it is actually more rewarding when talking about points to intentionally go slower during PreQ so you can finish higher or actually win Grid 2 race.

Fortunately this rule was changed for GT1C and I think this should be the way to go in ANY league, otherwise its just not fair for the guys who struggle a lot in PreQ to find a few more tenths.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

There will still be two servers, but points will be awarded for overall positions with all classified cars of Server 2 being placed behind all classified cars in Server 1. For example: If 20 cars are classified on the first server, the winner on the second server will be classified in 21st position. That way, it actually is an advantage to pre-qualify yourself into Server 1 and it will also be rewarded accordingly.

kthxbye

Agreed. But - I should add that personally (especially since I've been unable to make it to most of the races) I think the key thing isn't points, but enjoyable racing.

So if you're good enough to not only set a time to get onto grid 1, but also be able to race enjoyably with the others on that grid, then I'd say go for it...

I do agree that the overlap was way too big. It wasn't such a big problem in GT Masters, but in GTi Trophy it's been much worse. The only reason we ever went down that root was because it was a system which had previously been used in other series that had multiple grids for many seasons, but seemingly in the league environment we have that system doesn't really work. I try to listen to everyone who suggests reasonable changes and as you said, this system is being ditched after the end of GTi Trophy, it wouldn't make much sence changing the system during an ongoing season. It's is our intention to put the focus of every series we run on the racing and on the championship, we don't want any gimmicks or any artificial alterations to make life more difficult for people or make it unnecessarily complicated. I'm confident though that the changes we made for the future are for the better.
