    I'm not sure if it was the right weather/TOD settings but it did feel quite slippery to me when we did some races a few days ago. I found going down the hill into and through the dipper was tricky but holding just a little bit of throttle on, even when braking helped keep the back end in line, like driving an MR car through there(also helps into Forrest elbow)

    Appreciate the advice.
    That'll be interesting for me to try. I usually just drive with my right foot only, so I might have to try adding in left foot braking perhaps. Will certainly be a very challenging track to me until I can get a feel for it and make it work.

    I remember racing this track in other GT games or sim type things and not having as much trouble, but I guess it would just depend on the car in use. Used to love the top of the hill and all the tight turns etc but driving the poopra (I say in jest, I do like this car) last night made me feel very nervous about almost the whole track haha

    It took me until lap 6 to get a clean lap in when I practiced there before the season started.

    going down the mountain it also helps a lot to keep your steering straight while breaking and getting off the pedal before turning

    @Thefat11 added to Div 4

    If we can grab your PSN for the chat room, it will make it easier to organise practise sessions and the race night.
    Please try and be on comms as well, GT7 has a few niggling issues that make having everyone on comms that much easier.
    You don't have to talk if you don't want too, but at least join to hear the captains and room host go through the motions.

    Sorry Easy, my bad. While there was definitely lag, I didn't realise that it had impacted anyone that severely. Problem is that the messages only stay up on screen for a very short time. I was actually going ok so was concentrating hard on the race and didn't get to read your message before it disappeared. When I saw you leave the room I asked if anyone had been able to catch what you said, but no one was really clear other than it was about the lag. While it may not be ideal for everyone, voice chat is the best way of communicating in the room at the moment.
    I thought you may have wanted to rejoin for the second race so sent you a note to that effect.

    All good i went from p2 to a flying start into 1st watching cars behind me jumping from one side of the track to the other like a ping pong pulled over turn 2 to start again as at the time i believe it is what needed to happen às i was a room captain seeing it. The room was cactus after 3 laps was obvious no one was stopping for a new room. At the time we all did not know the servers were cactus. It is the way it played out. Misake leaving the chat also pulling over to do procedure lap 1. The game is broken.

    I will definitely have headphones. I may mute it though so no one can here my kids running around like a pack of wild elephants. I'll unmute it if it's quiet. lol

    Round 4: Mount Panorama - S05 Misty, Cloudless and Sunny - Late Morning - 20 Laps - 5/6
    [​IMG]
    WELCOME to Season 1 for Gran Turismo 7!!
    As always please take a couple minutes to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night.
    If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regulations please ask!

    ROOM OPEN :
    Room captains may have practice rooms open beforehand but should have the official room up by 8:00pm AEST. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread know if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them.

    QUALIFYING : 8:20 AEST for 10 mins.
    Because we cannot change room settings or reset the room, please do not run any laps until the room captain gives the go ahead for qualifying to begin.
    Once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track.

    PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING

    RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEST

    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS :
    This is up to the room host/captains. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I would suggest only having 1 restart if required due to DSC, due to having to set up the room from scratch and also having to set timed laps in order to set the grid. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....

    SIGHT ISSUES:
    Before qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again.Type the number of cars you can see in the lobby chat and cross check with other drivers to ensure clarity.

    RACE START SETTING :
    There have been lots of issues recently surrounding false start check and an inconsistent ‘lights out’ point for the grid.
    Room Captains are encouraged to use false start check if possible (test this in a practice start prior to qualifying), Failing that

    TURN 1 LAP 1 :
    The old saying goes, you can’t win the race on lap 1, but you can definitely lose it. Please be mindful of other drivers on lap 1 coming into turn 1, and for that matter, the entire race. It can be very demoralizing to hot lap on your own for 45 minutes as I'm sure many of you are aware.

    TRACK LIMITS :
    As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage, position or time wise. Track Limits protests may be launched by any active driver in the race.

    CONTACT :
    Is to be avoided at all times..... If you make contact with someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Occasionally, Gran Turismo track limits may teleport a disadvantaged driver backwards on circuit to ‘reset’ them, if this occurs at the hand of another driver, IT IS EXPECTED that the driver at fault will wait and redress the position.
    Side by side 'rubbing' is racing is allowed and promoted within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room. For clarity surrounding racing room, please feel free to PM @Viperzed
    Show each other RESPECT! It is difficult enough to drive the car at the limit on your own, without someone squeezing you within a millimeter of the grass.
    So be patient and show respect to your fellow drivers.
    If you are redressing contact, please do so out of the way of other cars, off the racing line, or if there isn't much room, off track.

    PIT ENTRY/EXIT LINES :
    Pit Line Penalties are on so you will be penalised in game if you cut any part of the entry or exit lines. Please be aware of cars exiting T1.

    BLUE FLAGS :
    Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

    STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS :
    This season the steward will be @Viperzed. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let him know via a PM.
    DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. Stewards will ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captain to make any decision.

    SAVE YOUR REPLAY :
    If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved!

    PARKING UP :
    If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car. Quitting off track results in a sometimes race ending lag spike and may be punished in extreme scenarios.

    FINAL NOTE:
    Could all drivers please inform Room Captains or make a post on the division thread if they do not intend on racing on Sunday night, Room Captains/ Lobby Hosts are advised not to wait for anyone who has not communicated their intentions. If you do not post in your room thread or psn chat that you cannot attend, a spot may not be held for you for the following weeks race

    TRACK SPECIFIC - MOUNT PANORAMA:
    A RaceOnOz season is never complete without Bathurst (so some say). Be aware that there is a huge lack of overtaking areas and utmost respect should be given at the top of the mountain to ensure any left field overtaking maneuvers come off without someone ending up in the wall. There are no areas of concern for track limits at Mount Panorama (Except straight lining after skyline).

    Not sure if this will make you feel better, but after 4 years I'm still getting the yips in the first laps.

    Terrible race for me last night, got a heap of clean laps in after some unclean ones early on, then it all went to sh*t.
    The car/track combo was not for me and my driving style that's for sure.
    I've raced that track in previous games and in different cars and absolutely loved how it felt at the top but for me and my apparent lack of ability, this car just wanted to understeer/oversteer any chance it got. Absolute pig of a thing.

    Looking forward to the next one in a couple weeks though.

    @webnomad cheers mate and was a good race and thankfully i managed to maintain consistency which is rare. All the best overseas and see you next season. @Easyprey007 Congrats and a superb race by you, well done.

    Well done to the entire field and racing would not be racing without there being issues up and down the field. The game has issues which we are all aware but I think the start of last nights race was the best so far with no glitches and all drivers being on line and seen. Thanks to @Dybo (GQ) for hosting, great job. I will miss race 5 as I will be in New Zealand but will be back for race 6. Cheers to all and have a great race 5.
