Re: TORA Avon Tyres British GT Championship: Results

by LMR Deftone MX Mon 6 Jul 2015 - 22:51

So say for a race there's 85 cars in GT3 that finish and 10 that start but do not finish. Those 10 will be ordered at the bottom in the order they qualified and the top 3 (86th, 87th, and 88th) will recieve the points for those positions. As the rules state, anything below 88th will remain at zero.

Hope that helps

Ahhh I see, is it different for GT4 or are they all put together?

by LMR Deftone MX Mon 6 Jul 2015 - 23:09

Same story for GT4

points ammended based on DNF's getting points for last place (not last in their lobby but last overall sorted by quali position)

The simple answer is 119/2 = 59.5 but I'm guessing that's not what your looking for lol.

The complicated answer is (and try telling a spreadsheet to calculate this for every driver).

Now that lobby 1 results are in your actual score is now only 94 points and I'll explain how this is calculated.

Your lobby 7 in GT3, There are 54 GT3 drivers in lobbies above you meaning in first place in your lobby the most you could get is 55th place should everyone else finish in the higher lobbies.

There were 11 DNF/DNS's in race 1 and 15 in race 2 in GT3.

Therefore you came 44th and 40th in class after you subtract the DNF/DNS's from above (55-11 = 44, 55-15 = 40).

now that we know your finishing position we can give out points, Race 1 you scored 45 for 44th and race 2 49 for coming 40th.

45+49 = 94

Hopefully that makes sense?

Yeah that's fine, thanks for the explanation. On a different subject, do you think it would be a better idea until the game is working better to limit the lobbies to 8 people so they can all communicate via a party and also limit the possibility of other issues?

by LMR Deftone MX Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 7:35

Unfortunately that's not possible

by DonatedSatyr227 Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 14:06

So if 50 GT3 cars start a race and you DNF you would get point for 50th place in GT3 then ?

by **TJSteel** Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 14:30

Yeah... unless there are multiple dnfs then it goes by where in the race you qualified

The primary reason we're not able to do that is lobby hosts, as in we just do not have enough experienced Marshals to take on that many lobbies. As it is, we're usually tight on Marshals come any given Sunday.

That and we'd only see four cars per class per lobby, and in long races, that would end up being not much more than an extended hotlapping session for many racers, and nobody wants that.

So logisticly how is silverstone going to work?
Pitting is horrendous, setting up lobbys can take more then 30 min, and these ate just two of many problems
thanks for the clarification Smile

by MAB170294 Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 16:41

well the lobbys for the second stint can be getting ready while stint one is still racing as we should have enough hosts.

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 16:53

What about solo entries.

by MAB170294 Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 17:03

theyll receive invites once stint one is complete, at least then most issues in terms of invites should be dealt with way before the stint starts with you only having to invite 1 or 2 people not all 14

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 19:08

So theoreticaly lobby4, stint one is behind by 30min,
Stint two will be in a holding pattern for 30 mins for one driver? Thats not going to work bud because the longer the lobby is open the worse it gets:(

by LMR Deftone MX Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 19:32

It's gonna have to work and it's no different from Pro GT, only a better chance the game providing issues. If there's delays people are going to have to be patient.

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Tue 7 Jul 2015 - 19:55

Roger that bud
And thank you guys for helping an ol inquiring mind:)

No worries happy to help Smile

Has the points been updated after PTG Mesaphere's DSQ? I haven't got my points for 2nd for the 1st race of round 2

by AndyT306 Mon 20 Jul 2015 - 7:30

have the privateers had their points doubled for silverstone?

by **TJSteel** Mon 20 Jul 2015 - 9:10

Each driver scores the total points for the car

so each member of a team will score the same points for this round

so a person driving 1 stint will score the full points of both stints so teams / privateers do not have a score advantage for this round.

hope that makes sense

by AndyT306 Mon 20 Jul 2015 - 9:17

looked like some people had double points

by **TJSteel** Mon 20 Jul 2015 - 9:18

just checked the docs and noticed some people scoring double so corrected formula's

all should now show ok

still waiting for results for a few stints, hopefully I'll have them all by tonight so I can finalise the data and sort the sheet.

Whats the point in both drivers in any team putting two drivers out there then? Sorry, its a bummer but it is an euduro round,,,,2 stints....unless you represented in both i fail to see why someone should get double points. This gives a clear advantage to privateers.

by **TJSteel** Mon 20 Jul 2015 - 9:50

because the overall standings would be ruined if some were able to score more than others for this round. The only way to stop that were to give you the score of the car rather than each driver scoring only for their stint.

running both drivers means you both score points for the overall standings. if only 1 drove the other guy would get 0.

which way would you score it? if you've got a better way let me know and I'll do it that way.

If we did score per driver stint then people double stinting would score double therefore beating the drivers that ran the car as a team and then the privateer would have a massive advantage.
