All drivers - please be aware:

There is a new system in place for reporting incidents, and a new scale that will be used for punishment of those incidents. It will be viewable to all drivers via the rankings system that was also recently put in place. We will we using a License & Infraction system, and the details can be read here.

Previously, the Staff felt that people were sometimes discouraged from reporting incidents as the only possible punishment was a month long ban, which might have been perceived as too draconian. Now, there is a far more scalable set of punishments which will not necessarily result in an instant ban, but which can be used to monitor who you are driving with.

The staff are asking you, indeed encouraging you, to please use the system, as only with use will it have the desired effect of raising driving standards.

If, after the recommended "review - 24hr cool off - review again" cycle, you still feel that you need to report an incident where you were disadvantaged or your race was ruined, you should send the event organiser a PM with all the relevant details.

As always, accusations and negative comment in the post event thread will not work in anyone's favour, so please use the system that we have put in place.

I will only be able to do the first race tonight, so don't wait for me to reconnect okay? :

 

[Paul Wright]

Stuart,
I've received a text from Andy Oakley this morning unfortunately stating that he has to work until 8pm and won't be able to race tonight apologies on his behalf.

ps - where would i submit a skin for the next skinpack please? (i was just expecting to drop my skin into the relevant folder but i've installed the skinpack you linked last night....are the pack skins preferred to a personal skin?)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

The pack skins are personal skins, so if you don't have one in the pack, use the default for now.

If you're going to be driving the Cats regularly, or even semi regularly, you can send me the skin and I'll add it to the next update of the pack, which is, handily for you, due next week.

 

[Paul Wright]

Thank you i'll send it over the weekend.

 

[Toni Talvitie]

[Robin van Brenk]

[Philip Oakley]

I won't be able to make this unless practice or Qualifying are still on at 7:45

 

[Ron Attwood]

I have a quandary. Whether to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant with my wife tonight, or tell her to sod off, I'm racing! Tough call but I guess it has to be dinner. :sorry:

 

[Michael Herrmann]

[Tim Mayne]

Tim Mayne I will have a try please

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I won't be able to make this unless practice or Qualifying are still on at 7:45

Practice doesn't actually start until 20.00 Ldn time - We leave the event times at GMT all year round to avoid confusion when zones change time on different dates

 

[Oliver Roelandt]

I'm afraid I'll have to forfeit the first race as well tonight Just got home after being stuck in traffic for most of the day, and got to take care of a bunch of other stuff first.
