OK as there was a few words mentioned on T/speak during and after race 2, I thought id better have a look at the replays. 1hour later i'd had a good look at the races
In places it looked good racing but at times I think some people were getting a little excited which resulted in not waiting after an incidents .. I would like you all to look at the replay of the second race and look at your driving please.(Roland has posted the file in his post for those who dont have it or it will not work. Just drop it in your replays folder). im not looking for comments on other but just look at your own driving and think what could I of done better if you were involved in nudging others of track or wheel banging.. May I remind you this is "This is GT Legends being held in our Club, using Club Rules, and should be driven in that spirit".
I will not tolerate bad actions and bad decisions in a effort to win, and spoil other people enjoyment.
on the plus side. I did see a perfect example of what to do when we are involved in a accident.. Ross was involved in a incident around 368 on the time stamp.(mistakes happen we are here to race) and although he didn't stop straight away (there were cars around him and another red car did pass him) he gave the place back a couple of hundred metres up the road in a safe and controlled manner, when I assume he realised the car behind was the car involved in the incident.
i looked at another incident and the offending car just stopped in the middle of the corner
and was then hit by another car. (next time get off the track or pull over up the road to allow the car to pass you back..) and on the same note you can only rejoin the track when it is safe to do so. trying to spin you car round when there is oncoming traffic is not in the spirit of the club rules..
So to recap.
Events at RaceDepartment.com are therefore governed by our Licensed Membership Agreement. The following rules are part of that agreement:
- When you apply for a licensed membership your forum name will be changed to your real name. We always use our real names on the forum and when we race online. There are no exceptions.
- When you have signed up for an event we expect you to be there. If for any reason you can not make it you can sign out up until one hour prior to the practice session. If the event uses a two race format then you are expected to be present for both races.
- If you are involved in an accident, do not leave your car parked on the driving line where it can cause interference to other drivers or further accidents. Return to the pitbox safely and repair your car to continue the race.
- If you accidentally leave the track for whatever reason you must wait until there is a clear, safe gap before rejoining the track. Upon rejoining the track you must get up to speed as quickly as possible without blocking the racing line.
- Never attempt U-turns on the racing line as you will cause an accident.
- Do not alter your line or braking for a faster car behind you. Unpredictable moves have a way of ending the race for both of you. Let the faster car dictate when and where to initiate a pass, and only then assist by easing off of the throttle.
- Do not deliberately cut the track. The white (or yellow) lines mark the edge of the road. Do not cross them with more than two wheels.
- If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, we expect you to stop and let the other driver regain their position on you. This shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, and do not immediately stop your car on the racing line where it can cause further accidents.
- Try and discuss any incidents with the other drivers involved after the race in a friendly manner. If you feel stressed out by an accident then take 24 hours to calm down, review the replays of the incident and resolve it in a mature way via PM. Do not make angry posts about it on the forum. If you cannot resolve the problem then please contact the staff member that organized your race via PM, sending them an incident report that includes a video that clearly shows the incident.
- Follow all safety rules as if you were in a real car on a real track; use the pit speed limiter in pit lane, observe all safety flags and lights, no donuts in the pit lane or on the track, no deliberate distraction of other drivers, etc.
Now let's hope i don't have to go here again....
also id like you to look at this please. I know it's GP Legends but it explains it so good with pictures .
http://wiki.grandprixlegends.info/index.php?title=GPL_Recommended_Driver_Behaviour most of our drivers tend to follow these simple guidelines but for example leaving you nose inside the rear quarter of a car who's trying to turn in is not allowed..if you are last of the minute breakers in an attempt to overtake make sure it clean no tapping or wheel banging..
Now lets have a nice race next week please and bring the standards back to where they were..
