you can guess how that goes over with a more " traditionell driver" who is concious of his safety rating when after a mistake free races everything is shot into the crapper by playing children


( I´m not pissed anymore because NOW I know you lot can´t be trusted )

Laughs aside, I see your point and further wonder... once the race is considered "finished" by the system with the checkered flag shown (and Jim nagging me I could have done better), do collisions count as part of the race's incidents in SGP?

Maybe Han @HF2000 knows?

I'm not exactly sure how S.GP determines the incidents. I don't pay attention to it because going off the track without contact with another car also counts as an incident. And hitting an object off the track counts as a collision. And if there is contact between two cars, both get a collision, even the driver who couldn't help it. So as long as there's no automatic penalty mechanism, I wouldn't pay any attention to it. For @Interslice and I, PM reporting is the only formal way for incidents.

Jepp, from my experience collisions are held against you after race finish
(hence the disapointment when your safety rating tanks after a clean race)
As for offtracks without hit, of course the count because we made a mistake

Gutted I can't be joining this - when your team's playing in the Champions League, you unfortunately have to make sacrifices! Luckily the second leg is on a Tuesday so hopefully I'll see you all next week.

While we're on the topic though, I do have a noob question about incident points on S.GP - what exactly do they tend to affect, besides appearing in the race report? I was quite surprised to have 0 incidents from Donington last week (and only 1 in Formula L) despite being very much off-track on multiple occasions

Fascinating idea.

Shame its a little short for me.
For this cars I'd need a few weeks of training.

This track feels like driving through an Escher painting. You just keep climbing with no discernable downhill! I'm enjoying learning it and it's very rewarding unlocking each part of the track.

Thanks @JoelK for the video (and also @Fiberoptix who very helpfully shared some hotlaps for the Ginetta races) - they really help those of us at the back of the grid get up the learning curve and not be a rolling road block come the race

Well, apparently this track really pulls the Finns out of their saunas!

Welcome Henry. Password sent.

 

[stigs2cousin]

And that does astonish you why??

Somehow our Han Masi made the whole affair quite toasty.

Till now I couldn't verify that April in Finland shows air/track temps in that range.

Seems climate change is a real problem here.

Surely, It couldn't have been -2c at 07.00 in Helsinki. It must've been a mistake
