Track list posted, Laps will be updated over time as well as the the format for sprint being finalised.
Hi all, Due to other commitments, Kidbyers will not be able to stream for us this season, although he should return for 2024. @ADZA_85 will be having a play in commentary for a few rounds and may drop in to Div 1. Please if I could ask you all to utilise the forum and post your race descriptions, it helps with commentary for the next round.
Round 1: 22/10 - Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa - 28 Laps - Custom Weather - Late Morning - 5x WELCOME to Season 7 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 7:30pm AEDT. 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 : 8pm 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. PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING RACE START TIME : 8:15pm 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 8, 9, 10 and 14, as well as generally around the entire circuit. Track Limits will be altered this Sunday to be more in line with what the track allows us to do. Track limits will be defined as two wheels on the concrete apron, or white line, whichever is furthest out. 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. Be mindful entering the pits that you will need to dart off to the left whilst possible in traffic. You may receive a penalty for misjudging your line on entry. On pit exit, cars exiting the lane are reminded to keep drivers left if there are any cars approaching T1, you will have to respect eachother on turn in to ensure no prangs are had. 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 - Kyoto Yamagiwa Kyoto is a fast and flowing fan-favourite that is returning to our calendar for the first time in over 3 years! Boasting a large amount of elevation change at high speed, Kyoto will be a tire destroyer as we expect to see drivers toss up between the 2 and 1 stop strategy. Kerbs can prove as fatal as they are helpful. Once the tires wear, they have the tendency to flick the car violently and prove difficult to manage late in the stint.
Nice to have near enough to a full grid hopefully we can keep that up for the rest of the season look forward to round 2
Hi all, Just a note concerning track limits for this Sunday's race at Tokyo Expressway. There will be no investigations into track limits at all. You are free to run wall to wall, as far as you wish at any point on the circuit. Also a note concerning start time, this round is an extended 1 hour race, so I will leave it up to each div if they wish to begin their quali/race early. Cheers!

TRACK SPECIFIC - Tokyo South Counterclockwise This particular Tokyo layout became famous for it's use in the Olympic Games qualifiers on GT Sport. It was also the home of GT Sport's final Australian 2 Hour endurance race (for now). The tight and narrow lanes make for a tough and gruelling one hour race, the first of it's kind for RaceOnOz. The extended distance also making this race a very possible 2 stop strategy. Be mindful too of this layout's odd Pit Lane position, under a parking garage in Sector 2 at the hairpin. If everyone could please leave their thoughts on the 1 hour format following this weekends round, it would be greatly appreciated so we can properly evaluate if this should be a staple of the calendar.
Man what could've been.... Knew I had some serious pace going into this one, Street circuits have always been a speciality of mine. Unfortunately on my quickest lap I caught traffic in the final sector, which could've shaped my race a little differently but still started inside the Top 4 nicely enough. The race began poorly, some B- driving (Thankyou Jono for putting your hand up on that one) led to Speedy and Risky opening an air gap on softs which I was able to close in on as we pushed together to save fuel and gap the rest, It was clear early on that only Groover was on our strat (Soft start, 2 stop) and we'd have to stretch our legs to ensure the podium for ourselves. In hindsight, I had the pace to lead our little train, but it was a solid opening stint. The pit stop brought everything un done as I stupidly just stared at the screen waiting for something to happen, costing myself over 6 seconds before changing my tires. Nice one. Took Mediums and full fuel, and soldiered on after my second stop for Softs, when it became apparent I'd be chasing Groover down for a podium position. I got to him, and fought the position off him, but not before Andrew joined us and poor timing on my part left me behind Andrew and unable to close the gap. Podium gone, *CaptainRisky21 has left the room* Condolences Risky for what was truly a mega drive, one of your best, and congratulations of course to Speedy and Andrew. Happy to have some pace back in this car, albeit not the consistency or the brain power....Looking forward to Red Bull Ring!
