    In every other racing game, I use chase cam. In GT, bumper.
    I find other games, the bumper cam is too low,
    I hate dashboard, it takes up too much screen. Dashboard is awesome in VR though (GT Sport). Driving the nordshcleiffe in VR in dashboard view is awesome especially because:
    1: You have to physically turn your head to look in the rearview.
    2: All the hud info is on the centre console.

    I forgot to put in the early start in the OP at the beginning of the season, so start time for Sunday is per normal unless ALL drivers agree on an 30min early start. This is up to room captains to organise.

    I would rather not start early. I may not be able to get on at 7:30. If that is the general consensus, I will try to be ready

    Wait, what?
    44 laps?
    It's my 2nd race. Just noticed not all rounds are the same amounts of laps.
    Holy moly. How long is the average lap in the Supra?
    I hurt my ankle playing tennis yesterday. I might not do too well with the pedals. hahahaha

    Round 5: Trial Mountain - S03 Dry, Cloudy and Pleasant - Afternoon - 44 Laps - 19/6 (Endurance Round)

    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 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.

    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 - TRIAL MOUNTAIN:
    A return to our season for Trial Mountain, a Gran Turismo classic. Please be careful through the first sector if attempting an overtake, it is a one line section and will require sacrifice from both drivers to make it work. Similarly, overtakes between the next two tunnels should be taken with great care, as well as after the hairpin T9. Track limits as usual will be 2 wheels must stay inside the WHITE LINES or kerbs (whichever is further out) at all times.

    A reminder too that this is an endurance round, empty your bladder before qualifying and have a water (or your favourite beverage) handy for the race.

    REMEMBER TO CHECK SPECIFIC DIVISION THREADS FOR POSSIBLE EARLY START DISCUSSIONS

    Was a fun return to Trail Mountain after being absent from Gran Turismo Sport for the past 5 years.
    Finished 2nd behind @Easyprey007 by about 31 seconds, ran out of fuel on the start finish straight while trying to push for FL at the end. I think he was stronger than me in some areas and i was stronger in others but ultimately he had more pace overall and i made a few too many small errors costing me too much time to keep in a slip stream or something. And well done to @fezza for rounding out the podium.

    Good race last night, apologies to GQ for the early crash, was trying to keep her straight and controlled and she went out on me.
    Surprisingly managed to get a 2:03 and a half roughly FL somewhere mid race when I was in the zone. Didn't think I could get that low but my inconsistency with staying on track kept me down the back of the pack.

    Personally my biggest challenges were the first few corners & that left corner out of the small tunnel before the long straight, I think I managed to get them somewhat dialled in somewhere in the middle of the race although the entry for the first corner always felt a bit sketchy.
    I tried to run a lean fuel map for a while but wasn't seeing the benefit in lost lap times about 4-5 seconds for me I think, so props to GQ for running it and getting results.

    Also, well played Tony, the last few laps I was coming closer and closer but just couldn't get past you in the end without risking it.
    Maybe if I had that 1 extra lap LOL
