Season 6 Race 10 Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit 45Laps

I still think this season has far too many races in it for many of the reasons already mentioned.

First I just got B room replay so the final results etc will be up this evening.  I am a little busy today.

Secondly, I have been talking to turn 10 for like  4 months.  They simply haven't committed to anything yet.  They also take almost two weeks to reply most of the time.  I am also talking to this guy at Fanatec working that angle.  I also have been working with GameStop to offer gift cards or something.  My local store is cool with it but it has to go through corporate.  So red tape is holding that up.  So I am working to grow this series in a different way.

Finally, I know this season was a little long.  I did that so I could gather as much information as quickly as possible. This helps with knowledge of cars, tracks expected times, room size, and other variables I watch for.  Next season will be 10- 11 races, but will take longer just due to the fact that we will run a schedule of 2 weeks on 1 week off.  Not cut in stone but that will be how it goes for the most part.

I like the whole 2 races in a row 1 off, it will be nice. Also who else dropped out of the series?

Like everyone else has been saying great job pred. After helping rox with the GT2 series I realized how much work you have going through 45 min replays for 3-4 rooms, its crazy. I think that this season has had its fair share of gripping which puts people in a funk. I also like the 2 week then break setup. This series requires some time to practice and a week to week seems to be getting to people(including myself).

Also congrats to BIMMER on the win. I wish I hadn't missed out on points at Hockenheim and Le Mans or I might still be up there with you. But theres always next year.

Race 10 Silverstone grand Prix Admin race notes:

A Room: Room had a great out lap and start. Everyone is racing clean and hard with many battles and position changes. Lap 7 the #54 Ferrari 458 Italia of PredatorUSMC locks em up and getting into the back of the #22 Lamborghini Gallardo 570-4 Superleggera of RAFT Hiredgun causing damage and loss of control. Penalty assessed on PredatorUSMC 1st Offense 30 second time penalty and two race probation. No other incidents noted.

B Room: A good out lap and a clean start with no incidents. Lap 3 the #35 Saleen S7 of Blahzay xxl tags the rear end of the #79 Lamborghini Gallardo of jpnVR4 causing loss of control and considerable damage. Penalty assessed on Blahzay xxl will be a warning and 2 race probation. Lap 12 I notice a great 5 way battle that lasts until the replay ends. B Room no other incidents noted.

C Room: Out lap starts off pretty good with everyone getting in order. At the start TheManNowDog nearly rearends kamikaze1414…The rolling start was a bit slow in speed but all cars made it through turn 1 with no incident. Lap 2, which is the first race lap, Kamikaze1414 in his Lamborghini Diablo GTR makes a kamikaze (pun intended) move on the #14 Ferrari F50 of ROSCOEpCOTRAIN causing a loss of control for both drivers and damage. A warning has been issued to Kamikaze1414. Then when ROSCOEpCOTRAIN tries to come back on track he nearly causes a collision with the passing #64 RUF RGT-8 of THF dvsSublime. A warning will be issued for this also. Racers must re-enter the race safely and not obstruct the path of oncoming cars. Lap 5 #64 RUF RGT-8 of THF dvsSublime goes off track then re-enters the track at such a direct angle that he T=bones the right hand side of sister team car Jeckel4438 causing significant damage and loss of control. THF dvsSublime Penalty assessed 1st Offence 30 second time penalty and 2 lap probation.

Drivers Points are updated. Any PI adjustments have been applied. Next up Road Atlanta!

oooo -3 PI hit for 3rd, damn i gotta rebuild my car :p

I give Pred a ton of credit for running the series, I start the series every year and eventually real life responsibilities get in the way. The amount of practice that it takes to compete can be daunting. If I come home from the gym/work/social obligations I am way too tired to run fifty or so laps with retuning the car. I think next season I'll pick a car that's a little easier to tune and race. Just a suggestion, what about running Heats like Aussie V8's or ETCC? Two 15 lap sprints, that would address the inevitable lag accidents, you would get a re-do, and it would give rookies/Pro's a chance to re-tune their cars. I like the system the way it is however I have so much $#it going on I can't seem to finish a season. Good luck fellas hopefully I'll see in Atlanta.

or do i not get one for the off and on penilty?

Ya I saw the replay, totally my fault. That was a really dum move, I tried pulling back on the grass when I saw jeckel but had too much speed coming onto the track. Penalty accepted

Taking it like a true champ....Good team representation!

I know its a little late, but I'm quite sorry for how I raced. I did not mean to run you off the track ROSCOE. That was entirely my fault and I will do my best not to do that anymore... So much for a good first race impression.
