Qualified 3rd, and finishing 5th, with some good battles along the way. Good fun. Pity to lose 4th on the final (bonus) lap though, need to get the tyres to last a bit better, and a high-vis paint job to keep ryan away from me
Now for the Chevrolet to be fixed having been set slower in the settings for the entire season so far, as we discovered pre-race.

10 point penalty?
For real? You made some mistakes. nothing big. nothing NEAR as big as what dev did. I would've given you a smaller penalty.

Dev didn't end someone's race and come close to ending another, I was also 1.5 seconds away from hitting you and fj

wut lol that must be a bitch tbh, you did a good race today, sorry for that shint btw thought your car needed a bit of a make over (missed brake pt slightly)
Still 4th is good enough considering I had about 6 different crashes and it didnt help that once i got near someone I crashed afterwards
Just done a few laps at melbourne and I am liking it already

Paul23 - Messed up some of the modding stuff which made some of the cars have a better default setup than others. He decided taking away half of his points would be an appropriate punishment.
jihardy - Put Comstar in a wall and hit SSJ2Luigi. 5 point deduction

I also disagree with Pauls penalty. Alright there was a mistake made but i don't see why he should take away half his points for it, unless he knew it was a problem and didn't say anything on purpose but then i'd say half points is a light penalty.
What's the criteria that determines between a points penalty, and a penalty for the next race? As I seem to recall the latter was given earlier in the season, for the sort of thing jihardy has penalised himself for with a points penalty.
Don't really see the point of Paul's penalty either, if the inconsistencies were just a mistake.
The problem with such points penalties is the effect it has on the weights. Unless weight limitations are applied on a version of the Points totals that does not include penalties.
It's not up to me to say what penalty should be awarded.
I was just wondering if you have some sort of criteria that determines how strong a penalty should be, given the incident, just so that such decisions are consistent throughout the season.
A grid penalty would be more in keeping with previous penalties given out for incidents on the track. No-one had a points penalty before whereas there have been grid penalites.
For Paul - I get he's annoyed he made a mistake, but it was a mistake. I really don't think it worth a penalty at all. It sucks but i don't know how much of a difference it made to the cars. It's not like it was a msitake that made only Paul faster. A penalty just doens't seem right to me, unless he feels so guilty because he knew about it and chose to not mention it sooner (in which case it would be a serious problem).
@TMM - I'll give you an example: With my custom setup, my qualifying pace was low 1:46's, with race pace beeing low 1:47's. I accidentally forgot to load my setup, and was practising with the default setup (roughly on about 45 liters of fuel, normal race fuel then), and did a mid 1:45, and when I went for a qualifying run next, I could've gotten into 1:44's with ease.
Ok, instead of taking away his points I have decided Paul will just receive a 2 second penalty at the end of qualifying for the next 2 races that he attends.
For me, my penalty will be a 2 place grid penalty, does this seem fair?
I can only say it again. Great work. Really good idea to make a video and thanks for taking your free-time to make one! Some really nice fights. I loved the ending as well.
The only thing that could be better, could be some music, but thats moaning on a very high niveau.
I liked it with just the sounds of the game, music might have actually made it worse imo. Great video, I'm definitely going to watch more of your league's races now. I feel sorry for Comstar after that race, some really bad luck for him there.
