I must admit I'm with Mark on this one, other races have had multiple disco's (albeit not as many) and those results have stood. Its a shame you feel that way dave as tbh we all also put a concerted effort to turn up every week, is it really that difficult to add points to the tally? I don't know of course, but wiping the race is scant reward as Mark has said for those that remained or even those who turned up, only to be disco'd later on.
If most of the disco's began at halfway through the race then why no half points, that would then mean the race would not need to be rerun at least?
Because as I've already said, there is absolutely no mechanism in place for allocating half points. If you would like to pay me at my normal hourly rate to add and test such a mechanism, I'll be happy to oblige.
I do believe that a similar problem happened in a GTL race in Hockenheim in the GTC 65 cars and the race standings stood?
As I recall, for that race everybody got disco'd at the same time, near the scheduled end of the race, and we took the results from the lap before (and I think I lost out by a place as a result). A totally different situation from last night where the combatants fell in waves.
I spent the best part of 3 hours last night with this race, had I known it was null and void after all the disco's I would have quit out as there was no point in me carrying on in the challenging conditions for no gain at all. (even though it was very enjoyable I must admit) would a server message have been the best course of action?
Sending out a server message would've been tricky given that I'd been disco'd - especially as at that stage we didn't know how many would finish.
If you're not willing to give points for this race then I would prefer to see the 2 dropped races re-run, in exactly the same conditions, this would give everyone the chance of driving as they would have done and also given people more of a chance for championship podiums.
Running Sugo again in the same conditions would defeat the main object of changeable conditions, to make things less predictable.
I don't see how we could run the 8th race in the 'same' conditions since it's never happened.
As far as dropped scores go, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. What incentive is there for any of the successful runners to turn up for the last round if they know anything they score will be dropped anyway? You can't argue that they'd turn up anyway without me turning round and applying the same argument to those who've missed the odd round racing
without the dropped scores - in fact I'd argue that it's considerably more annoying to turn up for every round and have some points taken away as a 'punishment' for good attendence.
