Penalty Log

Hello racers, welcome to the iTCC Holiday Special! Please feel free to discuss the race here. Do take note of the following briefing notes.

Spirit of the Event: We usually ask for no contact, but we understand that some is to be expected in touring car style racing. What we still do not want to see is excessive contact to put a driver off-line so that you can gain a massive advantage, and you still should not try and "help" someone get further out of shape if you can help it. Hard racing induces some door banging and "chrome horns" - but keep it sensible and don't tread wild on the other racers. We want to see hard racing, but please keep it fair.

Race Meeting Points: Points will be awarded per regulations, and a Champion of the Meeting will be awarded.

Ballast: No driver will have ballast for Race 1. Ballast for Race 2 will be awarded based on Race 1 result. Ballast for Race 3 will be awarded based on the points tabulation after Races 1 and 2.

Post-Race Procedure: Following each race, top 3 must report to start/finish for a podium photo. After the podium photo following Race 3, the top 3 in points will be called to start/finish for a photo.

Since we have less than 39 entries, the Reserve Shootout is not necessary. It will still run as scheduled, but will not be anything other than an officially scored free practice.

This should make the "real" part of the event fit within a two hour window.

Hello Race Fans!

New Dimension Racing are pleased to announce a revival event for one of our most popular properties, the iCON Touring Car Championship (iTCC)!

Created by the iCON Racing Team in late 2008, with a debut season in winter 2009, the restricted-FXR championship strove to emulate the racing of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) and World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). Known through the racing world as competitive and exciting racing, both series remain immensely popular. iTCC selected the FXR and gave it 32% intake restriction, and a test race was held in December 2008, which proved the concept with fantastic racing, and set the series in motion.

We have decided that a revival event for the iTCC would be a great end cap for 2016. We will run the event on Sunday, December 11th, with a reserve shootout (if necessary) starting at 17:00 UTC, and qualifying starting at 18:00 UTC. The event will take place at Westhill National, with the three races being 14 laps each ( with up to two laps added in the event of a safety car deployment. Sign ups, rules, etc will be forthcoming in separate threads.

We hope you join us!

Unser Team 3 wird nicht auf der Trackerseite angezeigt.

My apologies, a clerical error - I had you marked as FX2 instead of FXR - fixed now.

Qtracker is up and running! http://newdimensionracing.com/preqtracker/qtracker.php Updates hourly.

Airio has now been started - I'll work on the qtracker tonight.

I will start it late Monday or Tuesday...once I copypasta all the signups and put them in a format it'll understand :o

I'll start the tracking tomorrow after work, I got back from Indy this afternoon and have mostly been a vegetable relaxing after a packed weekend!

Thanks for confirming, I suck at driving so couldn't really test if it was going to record or not. I did rotate to other open configs to make sure it would record, then back to KY3Y_K31 but kept running of out talent so never got a "clean" lap to test

I was busy this weekend and haven't had a chance to analyze the issue, I'll be on it tonight.

Observed on the internets this eve, RUMOUR ALERT!!!!!!!!!: https://pretendracecars.net/2016/05/12/turn-10-to-purchase-kunos-simulazioni/

Protest incident Round 3

Round (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5): 83
Session of Incident (Qualifying*, Race): Race
Protestor's LFS Lap: 83
Timecode of Incident (EITHER MPR time OR Time of Day): 1:49:45 +
Your Car number: 31
Protested Car number(s): 24
Brief description of incident: 24 ERP Marcelo waitet for 31 HoR Mensa a bit, crashes then on straight without any logical reason in car 31. Then leaves the server. Seemes to be a revanche because he lost leading position a few laps before while overlapping car 31.

NOTE: Thilo was not involved in this Steward's Decision as Car 31's driver HoR Mensa is his teammate. He recused himself from the discussion.

Car 24 Infringements:
Causing an avoidable incident on Lap 85 (MPR 1:46:00) with Car 31 during lapping.
Slowed down exiting the penultimate corner to a near-stop on Lap 88 (MPR 1:49:45) to wait for Car 31 to repass, then entering the pit straight turned hard left into the side of Car 31, deliberately wrecking Car 31. The PM recieved after the incident further indicates the reckless abandon intent in the move.

Penalty for Causing an Avoidable Incident, Unsporting Behaviour, Violation of Spirit of the Event, and Incorrect Blue Flag Behaviour:
Car 24 is excluded from the Race Result
EPR Marcelo (bacabinha) is banned from OEC competition until 1 May 2017
Energy Pro Racing will be deducted an additional 2.5 points

By the way, finally figured out why my comparison of scheduled car vs what was driven on server wasn't working - bonus CRLF in the input string! Finally stripped them, so if you look now at the qtracker, you should see the car your team declared.

Server is still using quali password? (not sure if on purpose)

Yes, qual is still on until 15:30 UTC.
