Am I right in thinking that you cannot add new people to a championship once it's started though? I seem to remember that being mentioned a while ago or has that limitation been removed now?

Yeah I get where Tyler is coming from there with the 'questionable moves' comment lol. We've both been racing more open wheel series in this game so contact isn't really so much of a factor and the previous non-open wheel series i've raced in involved less contact so tonight was shall we say a bit of a culture shock 😯, especially for me having been taken out in each race :/ But we'll get used to it and get the ol' elbows out in future... as Tyler said 'rubbins racing...' I think I got you in the 2nd race Pete when we where going 3 or 4 wide, I hit a curb and went into you side ways the worst bit is it wasn’t even a rubbing is racing moment just blunder on my side so I’m sorry mate. As far as what we used to racing wise these cars have bumpers for a reason, time to get the chrome horn polish out.

That’s what I thought too, so my plan is to run each Saturday night as a single Online Championship so we only have to collect the results at the end of the evening, so we can add anyone who signs in before the event on the forum as the season goes on 😉

Nah your fine mate, I don't mind hard racing and mistakes happen in all racing of course. I'm still in the 'give plenty of space and avoid contact...' frame of mind from Indycar and F1 racing at the moment but that change of mindset will come over time and I get more races these type races under my belt. I'll be upping the aggression level of the AI I race with for practice to better match how we're racing lol.

I'll be upping the aggression level of the AI I race with for practice to better match how we're racing lol. I will try and be more aggressive too but it's just not me. I try and stick with minimal swerving and 1 move blocking to avoid confusing other drivers, even in our Vintage F1 League where the rule doesn't apply. There's a difference for me between strategic moves and I guess I'd call it hogging the raceway? I'm not saying that's that's the case for us by any means, as mostly all of the moves I witnessed where fine and fair. Stormtrooper made an excellent fake out on me to take the lead in the final race at turn 2. I'm still trying to figure out how he did it😉 Completely fair, challenging, and fun that was! There of course will be accidents, me and Rich bumped once, me and Peter, Micko turned slightly into me and I almost took him out at turn 1. It was neither of our faults after watching the replay, just exciting racing incidents.🤪 After I took Luke out at turn 2 during the second race, I immediately slowed down, apologized and waited for him to take his position back before I went again. There wasn't enough of that I believe and poor ol' Peter was shunted off in all 3 races! I think some proper racing etiquette may suffice for in the future. I'll turn up the AI aggression🤬 more and try being it too lol🤣

Just looked at replays from Races 2 & 3 (race 1 didn't save?) Two real observations.....track limits were continually exploited by all and some of the moves would even leave Plato with his mouth open. I think we should invoke the track limits in this series and punish bad bomb-diving. I will publish a few instances later in the week.

Would love to k ow who even if I’m guilty and some vids too the problem with track limits are that at times it doesn’t allow fir racing and can punish you when it’s not your fault like if there’s a big incident you take evasive action and then it says you have so many seconds to get back in position even though cars you overtook are damaged

Very rare that a return to postion happens. Tracks like donnington there will be too much exploitation especially last corner that is a worry tbh whats the point in pushing to the limits of the car and someone alot slower takes pole via corner cutting. Even btcc /tcr have stepped it up a notch with track limits

Two real observations.....track limits were continually exploited by all and some of the moves would even leave Plato with his mouth open. I think we should invoke the track limits in this series and punish bad bomb-diving. I will publish a few instances later in the week. The main reason we decided not to use the track limit penalty is because we thought that it prohibits good racing and it’s far too harsh, on many circuits the accepted racing line is to run with 2 wheels on or slightly over the kerbs, the game punishes any such line far too harshly our opinion so we decided that a policy of honesty was the way forward. I’m more than happy to continue with this honesty policy for the foreseeable future at this point. With an element of self control we can continue without people being disqualified from the race by the software for minor infractions but in essence don’t take the piss. With regards to the over ambitious overtaking attempts, 1stly if the line into to corner is being defended properly then don’t try and send one up the inside, if anyone is a victim of overly aggressive overtakes and suffers damage which ends their race then make a recording and send it to myself and Rich, we’ll assess it and decide accordingly. But remember that this is Touring Car racing and bumps and shunts are part and parcel of a series like this. Having said all the above, we’re here to race and have some fun so please respect the people we’re racing with.

Here's my onboard footage for race 2 and 3, I forgot to save the race 1 replay so I couldn't add the sound to it. I use ear buds for my comms and have my TV volume set to 0 so it doesn't echo. I record the onboard sound from the replays and match it up perfectly with my phone footage, then put it at 0% opacity. There will be more to come from this race in the future 😉:

I recorded all three races on Mixer so have that from my cockpit and also the first two races I saved replays in the game but the third wouldn't save because of the stupid space restriction for anything saved in this game :/ I'll upload them all at some point too.
