Season 8 Race 7 Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe 25 Laps

I will check to see why they have not updated. I uploaded the points Sunday night!

The results are up for me, I'm using chrome, just so you know

Yep, all is good now.

Zilch for me. Hmm (Chrome user) Ill just wait patiently

Tada! There they are

So let me get this straight....jump finished his prerace faster than b room and roca who crashed both
Both are ahead stilll ahead not tomension painted and hanible...shananagans

Well Jump finishes almost every race in like 4th, so for him to finish 8th with the time penalty isnt all that surprising. I ran like *DOOKIE* and finished behind C roomer's. I didnt need damage to slow me down just utter crap driving. Hannable finished well, basic got the 2 bonus points. What's the shanagans there?

Uhm cool it. Last few races i should have had 4-5 more spots than i have gotten either by my own mistake or a racing incident. Im just going to try again next week. Take a chill pill.

You sound like Scott Pruitt of Grand Am fame. This season he has had 3 major race incidents (two of which were not his fault one of which was), a total engine/or transmission failure (can't remember which it was) and a suspension failure at Laguna Seca. This team and driver are usually nearly perfect but this season has just been bad luck after bad luck. It happens in racing. Accidents, parts failures, mistakes, the champions are the ones who understand this part of the sport and and move to preparation for the next race when things don't go as well as they like.

Glad you cought that pred SP .IS the man its the beginning of the week bud just splicing it up

Considering we had to restart twice due to other people making stupid moves I shouldn't have had to even go through that corner with 7 cars shoved up my ass for a THIRD TIME, nobody gets penalized for the shit they do to cause the restarts though? How would that be fair if fairness is the issue here?

I don't want to really argue about this because I see where arguments end up around here, but all I will say in my defense is that with all the corner cutting going on late in races it's a bit ridiculous to point fingers at me for making one mistake that didn't hurt anybody but myself. My only excuse for coming on the track was Hiredgun being right behind me, I don't know what he is going to do so stopping would have been stupid with a car behind me, so I tried to ease on a caught a curb that sent me further out than I anticipated. I ended up with an Acura in front of me for the first five laps and when I finally got momentum to pass I got lagged into and damaged, almost cost me the race in the end anyways. I am sorry Matt but please don't start this now, especially after Road Atlanta.

I agree 100%

so many people need to realize this, there's no point in going into a dangerous situation and dive bombing the impossible to gain a position, if you're faster you will get by. there are lots of dangerous moves that i always end up backing out of because i'd rather save my car and give up a position then wreck which the other person decides to put us both into a position to do so. i like to keep my distance when needed, race clean, and race safe. seems to work for me.

when i said this i wasn't addressing anyone specifically, i was addressing everyone who can read.

I agree with Facepalmer, people should look at themself before making a drama of others mistakes. Lets calm down and come back to some clean racing and respect between each other. The problem here, is that if u blame someone, and you are not perfectly clean, some others will start to blame u, and some others will blame the ones who blame u, and no one at the end will like the result. We are here to have fun, rules are there to make it fair and clean. But nothing is perfect. Preds does is best, he has a lot of job to do. Our job is to play fair to avoid those conflicts, Preds is there to come to a decision. Let s respect each other even if we desagree.

What did I do at road atlanta?

I dont or have I ever had a problem with the way you race. We have run side by side numerous times without incident. So I'm really confused about what you're talking about. This one instance, that I have a legitimate argument for, is in fact the only problem I've had with any racer this whole season. It was a busch league move. If you had the car to win the race then not putting every other driver in danger would have been the best course of action to take. Granted that my car was the only one effected but that's besides the point. That's not why I'm arguing this. You missed your brake zone, went off the track, came back on the track and hit another driver's car and carried on as if nothing happened. All of which could have been avoided.

To be perfectly honest I shouldnt have been in A lobby I should have been starting 3rd or 4th in B lobby. I don't know why Pred didn't count my other time as my qual time. That's on him for a brain fart.

You should have manned up and taken your spot in lobby 2 and none of this would have happened. Everybody would have been lined up in a different order and it wouldn't have played out that way, maybe not even that second restart. Whoever was first in lobby 2 might be a it ticked off now. Two races ruined from your issues and zero from mine, don't keep giving me shit about it when you are more guilty than I am.

I didn't touch anyone's car the first two starts.

I don't know what gives you got the impression I said it was your fault there were restarts, never said anything like that. I'm talking about you hitting Gambit and stealing a spot in lobby 1 because Pred made an error, now you are bashing him about a penalty? Kind of one way to me. I don't want to keep arguing with you either, kind of getting the impression lately that it's an easy thing to do around here. People need to relax about this shit. Let's all have fun at Suzuka.

You're right. I misread what you said.

Raceboy777, I agree and that is pretty much how I approach things. I may be a bit more aggressive than you but I don't normally make moves or mistakes like that. That's all it was a simple misjudgment and mistake.

1st matter: During LeMans Pred, U gave me a scare cutting in like you did just before the Ford corners> ( remember? it was were you eventually ran off the track ?) you seem to take some very unnecessary risk especially there where we would have been on the straights two corners later. If i didnt go off my line I would have hit you. anyways ...

2nd matter: I don't remember getting a warning for what ever infraction we (Alpha Racing International ) cave committed. I don't see the issue with the livery so I would like you official help in this.

You have a job to do, no problem, but if penalties come like this without warning or even saying what the infraction is, I think I may have to boycott the rest of the season ( not like it'll matter to you or anyone else )

I see the penalty and harshness uncalled for and somewhat unsportsmanlike. I dont mind your rulings, but keep them ironfisted.

3rd matter: I hear Prone talkin about PI all the time, but does anyone notice the adjustments?
MATT don't hate me but 1st on Alps, 2ND on America, 2ND on camino, 1st on Atlanta. but ur PI stays on the up and up.
makes me think.

anyways Pred... this is not personal... its business...

I gave Matthnt a break on the qual. I assumed the responsibility for not making clear the qualifying. As for every thing else, I go by the rules of this seres or through my years of following ALMS, World Challenge, Grand Am, etc. Nope, I am not perfect never said I was. I am fair and consistent.

However, I would request that all cursing, cussing, swear words cease and desist around here. I hate making rules for certain thing but forum conduct s just as important as track conduct.
