SERIES DISCUSSION

Ill be posting any news here and of course feel free to post any news of your own.

The poll for the last race is up and working now.

With the race nights being about 2 hours do you plan on having them start strictly at 9pm eastern?

Yeah the qualifying isn't mandatory for you to be able to race and there are no points for it. If theres someone that will be 5mins late we might wait if they notify me beforehand but otherwise yes right at 9.

The information for the required paint has been updated

Dont be concerned if you dont have the build check completed for tomorrow since the servers were down and i couldn't look at any of the tunes. If you are running Dragonjets tune let me know and you wont have to worry about sharing the tune.

my build is up home slice

I got stuck working on a problem for work.

Hey no problem Bondzai. Also theres nothing to officially to look at but if anyone has the race replay saved share it so we can get some pictures up.

How was it? Lot of good battles?

The racing was good and clean. Me and doctorz went at if for a large chunk of the race and i know there were battles for 3rd and 5th. at the beginning it took a while for everyone to break up it seemed as well. So overall it was great.

SERIES CONCERNS - ALL COMPETITORS
The last lap tonight was very chaotic and there were numerous incidents. Please be careful when it comes down to the final lap, especially when it is a last lap restart like we had. No one person is at fault for the actions of the last lap, even I caused an accident. Just remember that the racing is tight and to be aware of your surroundings at all times and call your moves early!

On a less serious note lets keep up the great racing across the board and lets continue to have fun!

I liked the final lap chaos. After racing by myself for most of the laps it was nice to be up with the group.

Well that's one of the benefits of the cautions. It's just the accidents is where I want to cut down. I'm all for close racing and this series was put together to get that and for the most part it's achieving that.

I for one would vote no more green white checkers. Cautions breed cautions. Either run it under yellow or make it a two lap dash instead of one. we have no fans to appease with a green white checker and SCCA will end races under a caution.

On another note I'd like to hand it to Fiat for a great series, keep up the good work!

Well with in the past Forzas, Dagonjet and another guy came up with the caution system that seemed to work. The only change, and the change that caused it to be a last lap dash, was the pitting sequence since we didnt run with damage on since you couldn't fix aero back then. I think when it comes to the pitting sequence under caution, I'm going to change it to be done inside 3 laps to go. But also just giving people room on both parties will help with the cautions, and because people didn't do that, is why we ran into the situation.

Actually I just re-read what I had put down and technically we shouldn't have had a pitting sequence for the last caution. But seeing as it was a major accident and it was close to the start of the lap, it was the fair thing to do since multiple parties were involved as I remember. From now on though it will be with three laps remaining the pitting sequence is done.

Not really sure what to say about that YAS race. Not very satisfied about seeing F1AT slam into the wall because his controller died. It was funny how fast he changed the battery though.

IS it bad that he switched batteries, hit the wall, and I STILL didn't catch him? Wait I'll answer that. Yes. *sighs*

Popinbox - Penalties - One Race Suspension for Nurburgring GP for corner cutting at Yas Marina. Pictures below as with testimony from series director Dragonjet as proof.

Best quote of the night lol

didn't catch him AND I'm a lollipop man?? not my night.

Just wanna say this series has been fantastic! Fiat you are a mad man! I've never had so many back to back laps of such tight racing. All it takes is just one mistake and you are gone! Great racing! I appreciate the very fast and clean racing from everyone in the series.

CONGRATS to the doctorz for winning the championship!!

Fiat! GREAT run in this series I think I speak for the crowd here in saying I would participate in any future series you have!
