I've uploaded my pole position lap time onto my new YouTube channel. Feel free to subscribe if you would like
I'm putting up a practice room in at roughly 9am. It's called Rooz practice for this that aren't my friends.
I could but I'm normally in voice chat with the other Div 1 guys. I think @Rangeraus streamed one of the races on his twitch earlier this season.
Round 6: Interlagos - Custom Weather - Sunrise 6x - 27 Laps - 26/03 [RS and RM REQUIRED] WELCOME to Season 4 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 7:45pm 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. 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. QUALIFYING : 8:00 pm AEDT for 10 mins. Feel free to run practice laps prior to qualifying, The host will trigger a 'Room Reset' closer to the commencement of Qualifying. Once 10 mins of session time has elapsed, finish the lap you are on and stop the car off the circuit somewhere near the start of the lap. PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING RACE START TIME : 8:10 AEDT 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.... 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. Track Limits will be monitored at Turns 2-5, 7, 8 and 12. 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 T3, Stay hard left. 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 Head 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 may ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captains 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. ATTENDANCE: 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 - Interlagos The home of the Brazilian Grand Prix! Interlagos is a medium speed, flowing circuit with many a passing oppurtunity and some challenging sets of corners. Be careful not to get greedy mid corner, set yourself up for exits and be mindful of what is lying ahead. Tire wear will be brutal if you're not careful. The tire allocation for this round is RS and RM, both REQUIRED.
Qualified P2 & finished P2. Had a rough qualifying as I blew a potential pole position lap. Race wise I decided to risk it & start on the soft tyres while most of the grid were on mediums. I built a decent gap but it wasn't going to be enough for a win. Pretty happy to finish P2 in the end. Congrats to @MINT_GTR. He was absolutely rapid out there.
Pretty happy to re find some lost pace at Interlagos. Was well in contention for a top 3 from the get go, hanging with Ranger, Matt and Noodles for the first few laps before the lack of talent sorted me out. That came back to bite me when I mis calculated fuel for the first time ever and thought 10 times 4 was 50..... Congrats to Matt, Noodles and Ranger, keen on the final round next week!
Hey all quick question if you don't mind. What dates are we going to test some cars for next season? I've got a couple of good suggestions that we can test out.
Can kick it off as soon as this season ends tbh. I've got a bit of a short list myself so happy to have a play with a few different ideas!
Here is the retro livery I'll be running in the season finale at Tsubuka. Thanks to @Viperzed for his help as always

TRACK SPECIFIC - Tsukuba A classic dog fight style short circuit, Tsukuba is nothing short of a challenge, especially in the wet. It's two double back hairpins followed by single line corners to end the lap leave little room for mistakes and even less room for overtaking. Overtakes here need to be 100% committed early, and require respect given from BOTH drivers to ensure chaos doesn't ensue at the exit. This means following the most recent Rooz GT Racecraft Guide and ensuring room is left on corner exit when room is required to be given. Remember that this race WILL, start in the wet, the late stages are set to random and could still rain. It is Retro round today too! Hope to see all your retro liveries out in full strength! The tire allocation for this round is RS and BOTH Wet Compounds, There are no required tires or compulsory stops.
Wow what a wild race. Qualifying went surprising well, earning another pole position this season. First part of the race went well. I did get jumped in the pits by Matt who made the undercut work when it started to dry a bit. Couple of laps later Matt, Andrew & I were battling very closely for most of that stint. Unfortunately on lap 30 I ran too wide & ended up hitting a puddle which then lead me into the wall. Very lucky to get away with that. After that I drove as carefully as possible to the finish. Really happy with a P3 result considering how quick @MINT_GTR & Andrew were in the race. The wild weather also made for some good photos!
