Ahh, forgot there was qualifying too. Maybe 90 minutes is for the best. See what the others think.

I'd like to apologise to True, as clear there was a or many dirty moves made by me in desperation. I'll be absent from GTORacing for a few weeks, and hopefully when I come back I will have my desperation issues sorted. I wish I could be but I'm afraid I'm not aware of the incident/s, but whatever they were, I deserved last. I hand third to Ash.

Good race, stupid bloody game losing all that time.
Have looked at lap 1. Ash was getting pushed by ramos at the start so he lost that place. Homes tapped ash out wide and kept the place, then they both kept their line and a little love tap (ash didn't turn in) threw him out, so nothing there really, in fact ash lost 2 places with aggressive driving.
Then ramos, when you spun out you came across the track and completely wiped ash out. Yes, drivers do give places back, but ash didn't have the slightest requirement too, so no, he wasn't driving aggressive, and in fact was lucky to keep going.

As to Lap one, it looked as that Ash had turned his wheels into me heading out from the second chicane, he turns his wheels and sends me into the wall, and does not wait up, as Ramos is racing Ash later in the lap, heading into the first chicane, Ramos looses control, and as he is recovering, ash tbones him, and races off, not waiting at all, than later pit as to what I believe to eradicate our advantage of getting the earlier pit and catching up.

I had to go to the pits on the first lap because I got damage from someone rolling back across the track without looking if there was someone coming past. One of the first rules of racing is to wait for everyone to pass before you try to rejoin the track...

ash didn't turn into you
Ramos went off on his own, he came back across and had no control. Ash had nowhere to go. His driving wasn't bad at all. If anything ramos would be penalised for the track rejoin. If ash went in and tboned him overtaking into the chicane, fair enough ash is at fault, but when he tbones someone who comes back onto the track that's far from his fault. I've asked storm to check too.
It's pretty obvious too, it's why you should have saved the replay

I'll do points when this lap 1 situation is sorted out, but I find it unfair on ash really. Ramos came back onto the track and ash had no where to go. if ramos wants to argue about 'clean drivers give the position back' well clean drivers don't also rejoin the track like that, and he shouldn't be made to wait when someone else crashes on their own.
Ash wont be receiving a penalty but I will speak to others and see what the conclusion will be for other drivers involved.
I'll upload some videos of the incidents tomorrow and we can see what people now think of it

I know, Ramos should've waited, but the accident with me had seemed like I was being edged out, now if I hadn't crashed, it would've been a good race, and yes, Ash is not a bad driver and he had no where to go, but, there is a pause button, Ramos or ash could've ghosted, but on lap one, if there is a crash, we should be given an option to restart.

Don't see why you'd restart because of one driver going too hot into a corner and coming back onto the track to wipe someone out. If there was a massive pileup, then maybe. Races IRL don't have a restart button... if you screw up the first corner, you're out.

But you want the racing to be realistic, otherwise there's no real challenge or excitement.

no, it's not, but blaming ash in the slightest is bang out of order. You actually punted him and then ramos came back onto the track, he shouldn't have. Simple, that's where the issue lies really.

Punted? I was side by side, I may have fun from time to time, but I take my races here very seriously, and I do understand what happened with Ramos and am perfectly fine with what happened to him, but edging me out is not sportsmanlike. We will issue apologies when True uploads the videos of the incident

I will tomorrow
you hit him before hand which did allow you to get by the side, then you 2 rubbed, and as sometimes happens with this game you were thrown out. I've had storm check it too

I'ma weigh in on this, which I shouldn't be seeing as though I'm up in 5 hours for 2 three hour stints in a 12 hour endurance race... but things need to be said.
Firstly, there was argy bargy going on in that first set of corners. In to the first chicane, Ramos dives in from well over a car length away, which catches Ash blindly up the inside. Luckily, Ramos overshoots due to being overly boistrous and no damage is sustained. Under the bridge, Ramos moves over just as Ash comes to within half a car length alongside him, and is then nudged up the rear bumper by Home.
Ash's rear left panel is then swiped by Home as he makes a late dive up the inside and needlessly hugs the middle line... despite having more than enough room to move over and let Ash have half the track on the inside. The narrow line means that Ash doesn't have the room he should have been given, and a tap is made, although to be fair... looking at the paused image, Home's front right is angled in towards Ash, which it shouldn't, prior to the tap that sends Home off into the grass.
Now, the collision that EVERYONE is moaning about, Mulsanne chicane #1. Ramos lost all control of the car, and corrected it into Ash's path without trying to slow the car. From the smoke I could see, Ramos was likely trying to powerslide away from the wall rather than using the brakes to slow down and regain control of the car, over-corrected, and suffered a heavy shunt by Ash on the rear left... although how Ramos' car still turned LEFT into Ash after that shunt is beyond me...

Ash needs 19pts from the next 2 races to be GT3 champ. If storm wins at Fuji then it's game over lol
