Quote from MadDenker :

So, care to explain yourself and why you crashed into me as you didn't realise there was an incoming VSC and expected me to adhere to it?

Before I protest as well? Or should I even, since you've got nothing to lose anyways. Real interesting you choose to counter thin air by protesting me swearing at you for taking me out, and love tapping you on the casual in lap - and not explaining you caused it in the first place

Quote from MadDenker :

Can a penalty be issued for loud shouting of profanities in discord during the race? I definitely don't need that on my Sunday morning, especially when trying to drive on this track.

Well you wern't aware of the VSC timing, I slowed in time for it and you proceeded to cream into me sending me into the pitwall and give me damage. I didn't protest that, neither did I protest the number of times I tripped over you and Zanella in blues (can't be arsed).

Good that I woke you up in the voice chat, but too bad it came too late for myself.

Quote from Bzzyq :

Race
1:01.28
88 ; 89
car 89 overtaking on formation lap

Might have been blind yesterday, didn't read that bit of the rules hence was also adamant post-race that I was in my right to retake position on grid. But then again, the rules are in big chu ks of small text, and that rule is kinda unique, but still my bad.

Penalise all you want, but if I'm not blind this time... there is no mention of overtaking on the formation lap in the regulations - and by default, I suppose if you return positions it is nullified. Another grey area not covered I guess...

Race

The race will be start with a formation lap followed with a standing start. Keep a minimumdistance of 10 car lenghts to other cars. If you spin/crash during the formation lap, keep the position which you have when rejoining track. At the end of your formation lap drive to your grid box. After all cars are stationary, Race director will display red lights on the screen. Lights are turned off after 3-6s and the race is on. Drivers who jump the start will get 30s penalty after the race. First lap crashes will not result in race restart.

But sure I guess if I were to get a penalty as usual, TOTALLY not in relative to the VSC/SC cockups rescue biasness and inconsistency, dumb early quali format, minimal rules, unregulated grids and minimum time, and driver ping check, then go ahead @Ricky. Not that this series isn't slowly becoming a clownery.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Well,the ruling inconsitency is really huge here. Last race both Redbot and I lost connection,noone offered to rejoin. This time someone else was offered right away. Seeing drivers finishing lap down already from 6th position,I might still had scored a point or 2 when rejoining in 2nd round.

Personally I don't see as a good idea the rule forcing to use 2 different compounds during the race with current LFS tyre model in conjuction with SC/VSC. I have been avoiding all leagues with such rule so far and this is my first and with these tyre physics deffinitelly my last participation in league with such rule.

Couldn't agree more... there is no consistency in both enforcing the rules and keeping standard procedures for Yellow/VSC/SC. For me, the 2 compound thing is fine, but drivers should be allowed to change compound during at least SC. It gets really dumb when, like you said, LFS tire physics warrants no change for R4 and you have to find a time to pit, and then get screwed over by aforementioned sc inconsistency.

Personally I won't see myself partaking in this if the SC issue occurs for a forth time - the inconsistency is a one-off issue and affects the people involved but the foundations of flagging and SC periods... there is no excuse. Again, I stayed up late only to get buttshammed by the 3rd vsc bs, won't be doing it again if it happens once more. Not worth my time.

3 times in a row now all 3 races had Safety Car bug or mishandling

Round 1 VSC insim error, then unfair penalties issued post-race
Round 2 SC and then recall to VSC
Round 3 Long VSC for rescuing slow stuck car (another car in previous round did not get same treatment), then VSC change to SC after 1 lap

Guys shouldn't this lot be resolved by this round already... it's halfway in the season. I didn't want to write this rant-i-ful passage out, and I was hoping I didn't, but it happened again today at FE. The elongated 2nd VSC and evolve to SC costed Rony his win, costed me a pit stop.

Yes, there wasn't the super dumb SC to VSC recall, but still, close to a full lap under VSC before evolving to SC is way too long. Make the right decision from the start, and if you don't, stick with whatever you got, and if you need to recall or evolve to the next tier of yellow, do it quickly... And if you're going to rescue someone, give someone time, or treat a car in one way, every other car should be given at least the same treatment and chance to rejoin/reset. It's bloody basics...

@Rony you're my winner today, @Sanocki you're also a winner because of your pace
and gg Rando



@gemini
Didn't read the huge bulk of small text in the rules properly. Formation lap was my bad.

To all drivers and stewards
TBOC Challenge 2020 by NDR

30 Nov 2020, Formal Apology


Dear gentlemen,

I am writing this letter to express my apologies following the unsportsmanlike driving standards and subsequent outburst that occured during the running of the fifth round of TBOC yesterday, dated 29th November. I apologise for any hurt that I may have inflicted with my words in anger.

Off the midnight coffee and following a good sleep, I have taken time to reflect on my season and my actions that have brought me to where I am, but also ruined my reputation and demeanour. I have realised that my approach to racing is and has always been flawed - and that I was just a ticking time bomb in regards to penalties or hatred. I need to reiterate again that, I have always been aggressive and decisive and that has always been my approach and driving style (heck, even philosophy) and to date I have not been made aware of the consequences of such actions - until today.

I have taken this occassion to reassess my character and driving behaviour and will attempt to change for the better of myself and my fellow competitors; but it will take time and I hope in the meantime, I will not cause any further issues. I hope you all will give me the opportunity to better myself and race well once again.

In reference to the aforementioned, Car 88, Sean Lee accepts all imposed penalties derived from the existing protests at this time, to be applied in the official results for Feature Race (session) of the event. On behalf of Air Attack Racing and Newsroom entity, I thank whoever has been there to guide me and talk to me even in my anger. I appreciate that.

Once again, sorry and thank you, and I hope to race with you all again in the finale.


Best Regards
Sean Lee (AOR Nova)

nice warnings and stop & go, fantastic

here are some lovely exhibits :

1) sprint hlinka


what else can i do when he decides to miss his braking point, slide into middle of the road, and then brake check me when i'm midway committed through a going to the inside? and then I get a warning for him turning into me when i'm already 80% past his b pillar? right, okay. I'll brake check people next race then, since that seems fine to do. talk me out of that.

2) feature niko

moves under braking to cover me, making me swing wide at last moment. fine. then drives himself shallower than a plate, understeers straight on in the grass, and I catch his rear fender, and we interlock bodies like lego; I get a warning for this shit? Sure, he gets a penalty for blocking, but for his own line choice making him run into me , really? OK.

3) feature katila

i'm sorry, where's the 1-car width? does the kerb count or am I that fat? I'm right at the b-pillar so its not that i'm sticking my fingernail in. My car is there, and I pulled up mostly in time to make the corner. I get a warning and penalty for this?


Right. I get it. On the day where I am fighting Botsi for the championship and trying not to drive like an ****, people block weave and do dumb shit, shit that I get called out for. And I get the warnings, OK.

for 5 rounds i get up and stay woke on coffee till 2am+ just to entertain and give some rubbing and hard racing for the viewers and on the day where I'm trying not to drive dumb i'm the one that gets shit on.

"oh you should just be passive and let people by to stay safe" - what joy and excitement is that, i dont stay up late to play second fiddle. Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about at 3 in the morning. Maybe @bozz can vouch for the racing I gave him in the sprint. i dunno. Or maybe I should have just let him past. I don't know either.




side note : i'm sleepy and pissed to hell, so if i wake up in the morning all calm again I'm sorry for my driving/behaviour/speech, yeah i shouldn't even appeal for this i guess since it's over already, congrats botsi

Quote from nikopdr :

Feature Race; Servers: Main
Lap 20; Timecode 37:45.00
Car(s) involved: 88
Location of Incident: School Pit Straight, last chicane
Brief Description of Incident: No hard feelings. 88 slows down after Tarzan to leave a gap to the top3 drivers in order to try to get a jump from the restart. The gap created is way too huge in my opinion and unfair to the drivers behind. See attachment for the moment the leader floors it.

D:
But yes I didn't see that covered anywhere in the rules, and also rb4 is so chonky on chicane exit I had to try something you still blew past tho, dammit go slower. Anyhow, Good racing!
(also if there was a 10-car length rule or something I think I was still way inside that)
