Stewards Comments and Feedback
Qualifying sessions and the plugin is not working optimal and there is several reports about people going out when its not their sessions. For the reminder of the season the session schedule will be changed. Private qualifying and 15 minute. See updated schedule in race threads.

Start.. not much to say about it, well there is a lot. However generally speaking all VEC drivers are quite capable of doing a race start. We will not change the race start, but lets try and be more careful. That and a slightly bigger gap between classes.

Abbreviations
DQ = Disqualified
GR = Gentlemen Rule
AC = Avoidable Contact
IF = Infraction
RI = Racing Incident
W = Warning
SnH = Stop and Hold
DT = Drive Through
IYF = Ignoring yellow flag
IBF = Ignoring blue flag
FTLB = Failure to lock brakes

HI, It seems that there is a misunderstanding with the Bahrain IRR, because after checking the replay, the IRR said that the 2 cars involved in the 3.55:0 incident are not close, but car 293 is literally in my aspiration at this point in the replay. So I have a hard time understanding this explanation, maybe it is a mistake in filling in the incident, if you could clarify that, thanks.

Just checked again and the incident happens some 30 seconds later, that is probably the reason. With the amount of incidents we need to have the exact timing. However this is probably an infraction without having to go into a discussion about it. I´ll put it on the review list and update the report.
Next time use contact staff and not an entirely different race thread please.
 
What is the DIV 1 starting procedure? Bahrain was different than expected.

If it was not from you i would be slightly offended :lol: :Laugh:
Only went from having to pay it myself for 13 seasons to having people actually pay for servers, commentators etc at a later point ;)
But hey - you can do the math if you want
Initial season pass minus 25% vat and then of that -42% personal taxes (you are welcome). I believe the danes here can actually pull the yearly account balance.
3 barebone servers, teamspeak, webserver, forum and updates to stream and commentators - lets talk in a couple of decades again then i might have to the downpayment for a house :D
 
Just a quick question on the pit exit line, are we allowed to cross over the hashed line if there is no traffic coming to take the racing line into T1? Or so we have to keep inside the hashed line until it ends?
 
@Jimmi Allison Getting an error on loading the servers, Error loading mesh file AMV_GT3_HIGH.GMT to memory, and looks like an skin does not load properly some AMGs, can proceed to server and cancel the error msg

As per rules, you will get penalty points crossing over in P,Q,R (probably not in test day)

Nothing changed, so that sounds local to me? Try to unsub/resub.
I just loaded up each and every one of them.
Done online as well.
 
The livetiming is still on Bahrain, will that be fixed?
Another thing about track limits, I see several cars running wide on entry at corner 5, braking on the right side of the curb. The sim does not give you a track cut there, so that is allowed?
