Discuss anything Vintage related here. Questionnaire poll added for voting on the controversial fatalities for our seasons.

Nice one Tyler.
Although I'm not against the fatalities as such from an admin point of view it's a bit of a pain lol so i've voted no for that reason.

I agree with you there Pete! This board took a few hours to put up and it still isn't complete, we just need to decide the race dates.
I'm going to remain neutral on the subject until we find out what the rest of the group thinks.

Is there any chance we could move the start time to 1 hour later?
Josh, Brandon, Z7COLTONZ7 (from our first run in the 49), and another driver that hasn't raced with us yet would benefit from the change. I'm all for a bigger grid as long as it's all clean good fun, but I know how late it'll be over the pond and don't want to jeopardize losing you Peter and Matt.
Thoughts, gents?

I think fatalities are interesting. Certainly gives us extra incentive to keep things on the safe side. That said, I know they are a pain in the ass to keep track of, and I think in a 13 race season it might become too frustrating for admins and drivers alike. Imagine you make it to say round 11 in the points lead and you have a fatality. Yikes! lol
That's my very conflicted two cents. Of course I'm happy to take part either way.

I'm happy to try 11pm if it gets more people involved but it would make the finish time very late over here which is more of an issue with it being a working day afterwards. Also, because of that it would also mean restarting / reforming the lobbies would be less possible if we hit problems.
But like I say I'm happy to try it.

If we were to keep it at 5pm est/10pm UK time would it prevent anyone from attending Josh?

I think BCK would be fine, I would be fine for at least through the summer, Colton would be hit or miss on making the races and Dakinca (Dan) would have to bust his butt home to make 4pm central.

Alrighty, we'll start out the season one hour later then and see how Matt and Peter can handle it😫😴. It would be weird for me to start on the half hour mark, but not impossible, maybe a little confusing, so if 6pm est/11pm UK time doesn't work it'll probably be back to 5pm/10pm start time. Thoughts?

Obviously Matt has not yet given his thoughts on it but I'm happy to give this a go but will have to let you know if it's not working for me.

im ok with it but if we have lobby issues it effectively rules me out not staying up until 1am tbh.

Any problems getting drivers in or issues at the start of races where we would usually look to restart (Hockenheim for instance) would be less possible with the later start time.

What if we split the difference and start 30 mins later? that would be 5:30 eastern time and 10:30 UK time.

If it works best for everyone then let's do it. I'll change the times😉

I've amended the rules to give each of us an upgrade called 'Reality'. It prevents us from being able to be fatally injured in an accident in the game. You're on your own in the real world though, as I can't help you there. 😉
Drive safe always, be it virtual or reality.

Morning guys,
Just a quick one.. I am on vacation with the missus from the 20th to 27th June and as such will miss the Spa Grand Prix on the 26th June (my anniversary as well lol). As this race is one of the REAL classic Grand Prix we run I would really like to be able to take part in it. So I am just wondering whether there is any scope for this race to be shifted a week? Of course if that means anyone else can't make the race then don't move it as I don't want anyone else impacted by such a move. Just thought I would throw it out there early but i'm cool if it needs to stay where it is.
Cheers

I haven't made any plans for vacation time in June so it should be ok with me atm.
