Was given 30 sec penalty for bumpdrafting. If I didn't bump Benni a little we all would've wrecked because of carrerra gt driving erratically. Safest thing was to bump benni a little through the turn.

Penalty was issued due to discussions of bumpdrafting earlier in the session and miscommunication regarding the accuracy of the reports. The penalty will not be held effective.

Quote from boothy :Session 1

We tell you to go when the system calls you to minimize delays.

It is the responsibility of the car exiting pitlane during qualifying to avoid interfering with any car on track, should there be a chance for it. The system is set to call out when it does for efficiency of the session. There are multiple settings, but may other drivers in the two sessions came out around the same time without issue. The other settings that I can set will either put too many cars on track at once, or make the session run extremely slowly.

If you had not done that half-slide when you were exiting your pitbox, the spacing would have been fine.

Experiment just done (mpr of such attached) shows that if a driver leaves within a second or two of being called, and minimal delay to actually rolling away, you'll have anywhere between a 5 and 10 second gap ahead of the car you'll be ahead of. That is perfectly sufficient, also seeing as the car you're just ahead of is half a lap away from their run finished, and it gives you clear track to warmup in.

Essentially, if everything goes the way it does, if you join and start moving within 1-3 seconds of the application calling you, the spacing will be fine.

No need to change the system.

In regards to the penalty, it is a practice session too much should not be read into it. In official qualifying for the race, there will be no possibility for conflict and blocking, as you will be the only car on track for your run.

Session 4:

Quote from elliot1992 :Session Number: Practice 4 Race
Lap of inicdent: 54
Timecode of incident: 47:46
Cars involved: 26, 40
Brief description of incident: not so much a process just a clarification on the subject of blue flags deko. Just wondering about this one.

LFS blue flags in this event are merely warnings that you are with cars a lap or more ahead. You do not have to give way unless I or another race admin post your car number and blue flag in chat. Of course, you are still obliged to not interfere as much as possible regardless, and use your best judgement to determine whether or not to allow them through or try to stay with them. Lapped cars are permitted to race with leaders in an effort to regain their lap back, but if there is major impedance occurring, administration reserve the right to ask the lapped car to move.

Other stuff from Session 4, that wasn't handled in-race:

Car 40, One extra session for causing an avoidable incident on the start

Car 100, Two extra sessions for causing an avoidable incident under safety car.

Car 16, Warning for the incident involving Car 08 on lap 24
Car 51, Two extra sessions for causing an avoidable incident under safety car with car 16.

Car 33, Warning for causing an avoidable incident with Car 121 on lap 49.

The following cars will not be credited with attending this session for violation of the inlap speed limit that was announced: 23, 26, 31, 40, 59, 100, 121.

Unless mentioned above, or being classified as a DNF, all cars which finished will receive credit for attending Session 4.

Brief description of incident: several times Matonis (40) blocks the inside line, no problem your allowed to do this however it does cause me to put the brakes on a tad. On lap 12, 23 runs wide at T3 and catches the wall as we catch up 40. 23 takes the outside line around T1, i go to the inside. 40 then proceeds to move down into me in an attempt to block me when i am already alongside. at 13:17.15 you can clearly see his steering wheel turning into me.

Protest rejected. The race after the free-practice was not an official part of the session, and therefore will not be considered.
Well,for your information,if you would look more from before from my view,i'm starting to turn left much earlyer than you start passing me,and btw,you haven't got damage or smth...And that race is not protestable,if it would be i would protest your stupid move on lap 24/25 when we where 3wide and you squeezed us with Liane and later told "Oh i was brushing outside wall"....
Session 5

Quote from imaquad :Session Number 5
Lap of inicdent 17
Timecode of incident 18:57.55
Cars involved 06, 707
Brief description of incident:
06 pass cars in pits on left then knocking 707 around in pits.

The majority of this incident is a conflict between cars still entering pitboxes and cars exiting. Car 06 causes the most severe issue, by failure to lift. Cannot issue a penalty - the driver is currently on an exclusion from NDR events.

Other stuff:

Car 63 - Warning for causing an avoidable incident with Car 41 in Turn 1 on Lap 15

Car 44 - One additional session for causing an avoidable incident and failure to brake after an incident with Car 08, in Turn 2 on lap 28
Car 63 - One additional session for failure to heed local yellow flags and the scene ahead

Car 44 - One additional session for failure to lift for an incident ahead involving Car 06, in Turn 2 on lap 43.

Car 258 - One additional session for causing an avoidable incident with car 16 in Turn 2 of Lap 57, along with failure to apply the brakes while spinning.

Unless mentioned above, all cars which finished the race will receive session credit.
Session 6

Car 40 - Extra session required for causing an avoidable incident on the start. As this is repeat behaviour, Car 40 is in jepardy of NOT being approved for the event even after meeting all entry requirements, unless a massive improvement in behaviour is seen.

Car 31 - Warning to check mirrors and/or looks before making a move. (Re: incident with Car 08 in Turn 3 on lap 9

Car 707 - One additional required session for failure to attempt to slow car after an incident. Car 707 runs into Turn 1 wall, and turns left while accelerating, causing a major accident with Cars 16, 44, and 77.
Car 16 - One addition session required for failure to brake or otherwise slow for a spinning or stopped car ahead.

Car 117 - One additional required session for causing an avoidable incident with Car 58 in Turn 3 exit on lap 33.
Car 58 - One additional requried session for failure to lift or brake for a spinning car ahead.

Multiple incidents involving Car 06 during this and previous sessions warrant adding all reported incidents being applied as justification for the driver's NDR-wide exclusion.

Unless mentioned above, all cars which finished the session will receive credit.
Session 7

Car 44 - One additional required session for causing an avoidable incident with Cars 32 and 77 in Turn 3 on Lap 5.

Unless mentioned above, all cars which participated and finished in this session will receive credit.
Session 10

Attempt 1:

Car 118 makes two contacts with Car 29 in turn 1, the second causing himself to spin. Both Cars 118 and 29 slide up the track, collecting more cars.

Attempt 2:

Car 29 has cars 114 and 18 to his outside, as car 103 comes inside. There is room on corner entry, but car 103 clips the grass, and moves a slight bit up the track. Car 29 moves slightly down, both touch and go into the wall, collecting all but three cars.

Attempt 3:

Car 26 moves to the left of Car 118. Both make contact, and start to spin. Many other cars become involved.

The following penalties are issued:

Car 118 - 4 additional sessions for causing an avoidable incident on Attempt 1.
Car 29 - 2 additional sessions for failure to comply with red flag procedures as well as distracting behaviour in Ventrilo during session time.

Damn,i haven't chated during red flag until chat was open....

E: Could i get timecode of replay when i chated?
Quote from prOmo_LTU :Damn,i haven't chated during red flag until chat was open....

E: Could i get timecode of replay when i chated?

Chat was never open during the red flag situations.

You chatted during the first red flag, in the lobby screen, as the serverlog.log file shows. Permission had been granted to one driver to speak, that only applies for that driver. In the future, all of those requests will be denied. There will be a time for questions before we restart, and that will be announced.
Session Number and sub session: 13 race
Lap of incident: 51(a actual incident) Every other lap terrible driving.
Timecode of incident: All race
Cars involved: 116
