R3 - Road Atlanta

[Tero Dahlberg]

It's not allowed in any series here as the rules clearly state. Whether you gain or lose time is irrelevant. And if you do it, you will be penalised.

 

[Tomas Beha]

And when someone accidentially goes wide or gets pushed off track, I know who'll get the blame for the unfair penalty

 

[Jimmi Allison]

So, if someone drives this line in VEC or VLMS and gains time, no investigation follows? But if someone is doing this in L5 races it is frowned upon? Hypocrisy!

Well I would say we have stewards watching VLMS and VEC races as well. But going off like this for anyone during a race will not be penalised.
If it's done frequently then yes expect a penalty in any series.

It is with great regret that I will not be able to participate in the last race of srca in Road Atlanta, my son is years old and it will be difficult to be present during race time. Thank you... André Araújo

looking forward to this one -i think i should be able to nail pit entry this time!
I've never seen or read anything about blend lines on pit entrance anywhere in my sim racing career until I came to simracing club. I've always understood and read that you can't cross them on pit exit as it's dangerous and you can gain a time advantage but i thought i'd seen cars cross them to make last minute pit entrances. my bad. anyway, i'm looking forward to a clean race and to prove that i now understand.
see you on track guys

I'm not going to be able to attend this race. Have to work late tomorrow. It's probably for the best given my performance in the last one. Sorry to whomever I crashed into at the start of the last one.

There are exceptions of course. If you crash and end up on the wrong side of the pit entry line you can of course get to the pits as it is safer than driving the whole lap with a damaged car but not crossing pit entry line has always been in the rules of SRCA.
In real life they don't apply that rule very often but F1 does it in Austria and Interlagos for example and we think in order to deserve license 4 a driver needs to be able to adapt to potentially new rules.

. Ive always been an f1 fan first and foremost and there doesn't seem to be a lot out there about put entry blend lines.however i will adapt tonight and if i dont..u can call me "stupid" lol

I'm just going to act stupid and ask: is it allowed to cross the dotted line in SR.C.

 

[Florian Koetz]

In the past it was allowed to cross dotted lines, not sure if Road Atlanta has a dotted pit entry line.
I can't speak for all SRCA moderators so if you ask when you are on the server before the race we can tell you for sure.

And if in doubt it doesn't hurt to not cut across it

 

[Matej Lakota]

I am checking pitlane violations and dotted line is allowed to cross, but I will penalize if you will cross where it becomes full line.
Somewhere you even have to cross dotted line if you want to pit, like in Barcelona.

Everyone ready for the rain?

Going to be fun as I`ve done like a whole 4 laps in the wet

 

[Daniel Gaspar]

Best of Luck to all.

[Villem Kraaner]

Nah, too wet.
Rig worked fine this time.

 

[Henri Ahonen]

Fun race but disappointment result. I lost win to rain last lap.

 

[Lance Garassino]

Thanks for the race guys, was epic having the rain and then going to dry.

I`m sorry for the commotion I caused I don`t know why I thought My marker was where it was.

But anyway, congrats to the podium!!

 

[Tero Dahlberg]

Made a real mess of it early on and lost any chance to fight for the win. Took a risk with slicks as I was sure they would be faster already but... how to overtake when it's wet outside the racing line!? Well I'm not quite accurate enough driver to stay in the dry line as well as I should Also overtaking was next to impossible. Unless you could do it in a straight line.

But it was a ton of fun since it's been ages since I've driven with slicks on a drying track. Clearly I need the practice
