    Hi all, Let me take this opportunity to welcome you along to RaceOnOz GT7 Season 8. We're constantly evolving Sunday League to be more inclusive, more competitive with the hope of being more fun! I'm super excited to see what the Porsche gives us this season, it's been a long time since we've run a pure road car. Some of you will see we've committed to running BOP off, standard power and weight with Sports Softs ONLY for this season. This means we can utilise the Brake Controller but also keep the trademark feel of the 911. We're running a low tire wear season to counter for a few different styles of driving this car but may throw a wildcard or two in terms of fuel wear, maybe not! We can discuss over the next week in the "Regulation Discussion" thread. This car benefits from close racing so our priority is to promote on track action.

    This season we're once again trialling a Pre Season Qualifying night. This will feature 3x 15 minute Qualifying sessions (With a 5 minute warm up beforehand) at 3 seperate circuits that will assist us in setting up divisions for the season. These Division threads will be initially filled and seeded based off past performance and driver preferences however being a style of car we haven't driven before, we'd like to be able to seed people based off how they will perform this season. At the conclusion of each session, drivers will screenshot their "Session Best" timing screen that includes their best and optimal lap times. These will both be taken into consideration when setting up the divisions. Screenshots will then be sent to the Division PSN chat where I can grab them and put them all together to get the best view possible of how everyone performed!

    These qualifying times WILL NOT AFFECT where you start on the grid. We will still be running a quali session on the night of each round, they are purely to assist us with divisions.

    Any and all questions are welcome below or via my Inbox.
    Thankyou everyone and enjoy the season!

    Division 3 has been provisionally seeded for PR1Q. Movements are likely to occur.

    Morning all, it's been brought to my attention that due to our settings options to allow Brake Balance, there are minor tuning options available to you all that may fly under the radar of PP, Power and Weight limits. I'd like to make it clear that any drivers found to be exploiting this loophole will not be welcome back for the remainder of this season. It is totally against the RaceOnOz spirit to abuse this loophole and will be firmly looked down on.

    It's reccomended to avoid possibly tripping up on this, that for the season you purchase a brand new "fresh" 911 and simply purchase Brake Controller and Sports Softs for it. All and any other options purchased or adjusted are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. I have decide to push through with using the brake controller as I believe I can trust everyone in each division to do the right thing. Prove me right!

    Cheers

    Hi Viper, IRT to Brake Balance, I logged in last night but I couldn't adjust my brake settings on the track. I haven't played for a while but last time I did I was able to change the brake settings during the race, I'm just wondering if I missed something.
    IRT your comment about other tuning options. When I was going through the race settings I noticed a section that allowed you to restrict/allow a number of tuning options, maybe this could be looked at to ensure compliance.
    IRT S8, will the season settings be released soon? I'd like as much time as possible to practice.
    Thanks.

    I wouldn't worry about it, I'm going to go back on the Brake Balance decision. There are too many things that can be fiddled with without any trace, so we'll be running BOP instead. I'll do a proper post later tonight.

    Why don’t we have a teams championship anymore?

    It became a bit more work than it was worth. We tried to minimise the work the admin team was doing and felt the teams championship was only a small portion of what we provide here.

    I'd be open to the idea of it returning in the future.

    Have you bought and fitted the brake controller to the car?

    Hi all,

    In light of the insecurities brought on as a result of allowing brake balance and running without BOP, we have decided to reverse this decision and prohibit the Brake Controller and turn BOP on. This should retain the same power levels but ensure a tighter field in light of any mistakes or settings changes.

    This decision was made to ensure the tightest field possible after testing showed that settings changes can allow a large drop in lap times while still retaining the same PP, Power and Weight levels. Drivers may not have done this on purpose however as we found that some settings carried over accidentally.

    I apologise for any inconvenience caused, I respect that the car does indeed get more difficult to drive as a result of not having Brake Balance available, it requires a lighter touch.

    Thankyou for your patience and I look forward to seeing many of you next week!
    Cheers

    Yeah, I did that. I was able to make brake changes in the main car settings area but not on the track.

    Cheers. Wish I didn't comment on the brake balance. I miss being able to adjust the brake settings during a race.

    Hi Roozers, unfortunately I’m gonna have to pull out of this season. :(

    I’ve snapped the tendon in a finger and have to wear a splint on it for the next two months for it to heal. My GT7 ability is down to short stints only with a controller.

    Hope you all have a great season and hopefully I’ll be fine for the next one. :thumbsup:

    Unbelievably mate, I am in almost the same boat! Seeing the hand specialist tomorrow with suspected tendon damage in the little finger.

    Strange coincidence aside, I hope it heals up well and we get you back soon!

    Sorry for the noob question, but are there any livery mandatories/restrictions for the season ahead?

    Looking forward to Sunday night and meeting you all :thumbsup:

    There will likely be some guidelines published soon by @CaptainRisky21 and/or @Viperzed. Usually includes a mandatory number board, maybe a sponsor's logo on the windscreen banner.

    Apologies. Will have to pull-out for the season already until I'm back in a position to rejoin. I will be making an appearance in the following season for sure.
