Quote from D4NO :

Protesting about DT penalty Ive been given for hitting car number 34 in lap 18 hairpin. Race number 2. In such situation i couldnt avoid hitting the car in front as he closed door right in front of me unaware of me being close to him. yes i could have waited for him instead of going after he spun but from my point of view i wasnt the one doing the mistake going into the corner so why would i be paying for that. So please look at the incident once more thank you. Daniel Lukaštík, car 08

You need to submit an appeal for this. All information regarding this is laid out in the Sporting Code Section VI.4

Quote from Kristian K :

Since there is no race discussion topic this round, I’ll write this here.

Multiple drivers, including me, have wondered why there was no information shared on car 40’s false start investigation. I would not personally mind this non-informing way of dealing with the matter if nobody knew there was a jump start, but this time things were significantly different as the server tracker sent a message to everyone (not only race control) about a jump start by car 40. This obviously is something that the race stewards need to react to, and it didn’t happen.

I personally think that things during the race should’ve gone followingly:
1. Tracker: “Jump Start by Car 40”
2. Race Control: “Car 40 under investigation for possible false start”
3. Race Control: “Possible jump start by car 40 reviewed – no further action”

After this there would be no complaints. Everyone knows that stewards have reviewed the start and case closed. No jump start, no penalties given. This time we only got the first message. Even messages 1 and 3 would have been enough. Drivers shouldn’t have to ask mid-race whether something has been reviewed or not if they get a notification by the server tracker. I assume that if there is a jump start message, it will be automatic drive-through penalty unless the race directors state something else.

The main problem I see in this incident is that race directors should be there for the drivers. Race control knows that there will be no further action but the drivers in the grid do not unless it is communicated to them. We do not have team managers/engineers communicating with race control and the driver. Now we have only drivers and race control which means communication becomes a key factor and I feel that Sunday was a disappointment in that matter.

Quote from Viperakecske :

And on top of that when i asked one of the stewards after race 1 why no information about the penalty during race,he simply reacted "why would we need to?".
Which is kinda funny considering its an NDR hosted league,expectations higher too.
In my opinion its not that hard to notice the others about the situation,when there is like 9 red colored "steward"on the server
.
Thanks

Hi both,

I understand your view with this and will share with you the internal processes we use...

The 'jump start' notification was a technical messages for the stewards to investigate. However this message is not to be mistaken with any administrative decision. The latter are only the penalties with their communication as they are the only one impacting the course of the race from the outside. This message does not mean that the driver did in fact jump the start or not. The insim can detect the slightest movement etc from the car which is why we review all starts. Regardless of this notification, the starts are reviewed (hence other penalties for the start procedure being given out).

It has not been standard practice for NDR to notify of incidents under investigation in the server previously (especially when using a 'sprint' format). The stewards review many many incidents throughout the race and one of our considerations is that this could lead to significant 'spam' in the server chat.

For the avoidance of doubt, as long as there is no penalty announced, you should not assume another competitor has a penalty.

We will of course review this and see if any procedural changes are needed.

Thanks

The NDR Board was referred Car 88 from the 6th round of the 2021 GT2 Challenge for further action on the NDR level. The Stewards elected to disqualify him from the meeting.

The NDR Board have elected to place Sean Lee on NDR Probation for 12 months, effective from the date of the offence (21st March 2021). Sean will also have his stewarding status revoked, and will not be allowed to be in Race Control during any race meeting without advance permission.

This decision was made on the 25th March 2021

My pleasure
But the primary objective is to annoy the commentary booth a little bit

I have a complaint though - in the entry list I have 0 average points, despite attending one round of standard GT2C season. Is it a mistake?

Yeah sorry, my fault. I have added them on your average points is 60 fyi.

Event Specifics

1. Alerting the Administration:
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.

2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak]

3. Broadcast
This race will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.

4. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name may be in colour, but we prefer all white - consistency looks better, and is easier to read.

5. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.

6. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions.

7. Virtual Safety Car Test
There will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting about 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.

8. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, ALL 4 wheels must be to the LEFT of the blend line along its entire length.
On pit exit, ALL 4 wheels must be to the LEFT of the blend line along its entire length.

9. Qualifying Procedure
All teams with driver(s) who participated in the season, will have the average of their points taken. These teams will be ordered in start position by their average points, in descending order.
Entries that were all part of the same team during the regular season will be given a 10 point bonus for each round their team attended, added to the total prior to the average.

All teams who comprise entirely of cars that did not partake in the season will get a 15-minute qualifying session, and take up spots behind all cars made up of drivers who did participate in the season.

10. Race Start:
The race will have one formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.

The grid for the race will spawn on the left side of the front straight. When the session timing starts, drivers are to pull away from their grid spots in grid order.

The SC will slow to 80 kph/49 mph after Turn 10, and stay at the head of the field. After Turn 12, the field should begin forming into dual-file formation. Polesitter will be asked their chosen side during the gridding process. The Safety Car will pull into the pitlane right before the pit wall. Drivers should hold pace until the green flag is given - overtaking is permitted on race start from the green flag.

In the event of an aborted start, there will be no message except a voice wave-off call in TeamSpeak. Drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. Two wave-offs are permitted before the race start will be a standard safety car restart.

For the avoidance of doubt, the 6 hour clock starts with the start of the formation lap.

11. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 9. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on all restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

12. Penalties This Round:

We are not using the standard LFS penalty system this round. The insim control application has a custom penalty system. If you are given a Stop-Go Penalty, you will need to stop in the penalty box in the middle of the pitlane, marked with red cones and red chalk. You must stop your car within this box and stay still for 10 seconds, or the system will declare too short and re-issue the penalty.

You have three passes of the start/finish line to serve a penalty. If you wish to defer the DT or SG penalty to take pit service, you may do so - that lap will not count against your three lap limit.

13. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed to pit lane. The top 3 shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.

Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.

14. Miscellany:
Bump drafting is probibited in all sessions.

Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.

You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.

If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.

Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Good luck!
