Super Lap Qualifying

Qualifying will be held through live online sessions.

Qualifying Deadline: Thursday 02.00 am CET / 01.00 am GMT and Wednesday 20.00 pm EST / 17.00 PM (PST). The deadlines are
Thursday (GMT/CET) and Wednesdays (PST/EST) same week as race is held. Around 48 hours prior the race to give organizers
time to sort the grid, view replays find hosts e.t.c. Under no circumstance can a Qualifying lap be run after the deadline has passed.

Any of the Stewards or capable hosts, under the supervision of a Steward/s, can announce and hold qualifying sessions of their own.
No qualifying sessions can be conducted after Wednesday. Qualifying will be on hard Racing Tyres.

Procedure

A group of drivers per class will be given 2 laps to set a qualifying lap.
Laps will be run in 'Race' and will depend on track size. (Standard=2 laps)
Laps will be monitored and watched by fellow competitors to validate cleanliness.
The number of cars will depend on track size.
Once the race has been commenced, cars will roll on their warm up lap.
Cars must stagger a number seconds between each other to make room (about 20 seconds)
Standard '2 wheel on track at all times' rule apply (Check Post 3 for Racing Conduct 'Ch.IV Track Contact')
Once finished, spectators will declare if their competitor ran a clean or dirty lap
If a protest arise for a doubtful or dirty lap, the replay will be saved and checked.
If confirmed dirty, a timed penalty will be imposed depending on severity of offense. (Standard 5 seconds)
The process will repeat until we reach the limit of available drivers (eg. 25 for each class)

Rules regarding qualy-procedure:

If a driver runs into ANY trouble during an official qualy-session, the session can under no circumstance restart.
If a driver does not complete the 4th lap, and the replay file is corrupt, he runs the risk of not getting an official time, EVEN if the
lap was watched and verified clean by a spectator. (It's VERY important that you end the 4th lap)
If a driver disconnects during a session, he may reconnect and drive up to that point where he got DC'd. If the DC occurs while on the 1st (2nd lap) qualy-lap, he may restart and this time ONLY his 2nd (3rd lap) qualy-lap will be valid. The lap where the driver got DC'd counts as "dirty" with no registered lap-time.
If the car that DC's has any form of damage, but still are able to reconnect and restart his session, that drivers must damage his own car to the same grade of damage that the car had just before he got DC'd.
If a qualy-lap is "dirty", there are 2 possibilities.

a. If a lap-time beyond any doubt was slower due to an "off track/dirty" situation, no penalty is given and the lap-time stays.
b. If a lap-time could have gained any time what so ever due to an "off track/dirty" situation, a penalty of 5 seconds will be added to the lap-time.

________________________________________ ______________________________________

Setting Grid Positions on Race Day

We will set the grid by running a formation/parade lap. After the race countdown reaches zero, you must Hold your positions! DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH!. Remember your
spot from the qualifying results; as well as the person in-front of you and behind you.

Cars move from the grid ONE by ONE. The Pole car drives up and parks about 100 m (300 ft) (WHILE DOING SO, THE OTHER CARS DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH). When he pass the start-line, the next driver can move up, and so on. When all cars are in the correct position and are NOT moving, the pole car starts the formation lap. When GT500's start the formation-lap, GT300's will do the exact same thing. With this in mind: Follow the steps below!

GT500

First, you must remember your Grid Spot (Super Lap Qualifying)
Hold your positions when countdown reaches zero.
GT500 will make their way ONE BY ONE upfront and roll as a separate pack.
Cars must roll in a maintained pace of 55 mph / 90 kmh
Field will roll double file (form two lines)
Odd numbers will start on the inside lane relative to turn 1.
Even numbers will stay on the outside lane (Opposite side)
The Pole sitter will decide the Green Flag before the Finish line
You must maintain a minimum of One car length between you and the car in-front (same lane)
One car length is minimum, meaning it's up to you how large the gap will be
You must always maintain visual contact with the car beside you
You're bumper must not go pass the rear bumper of the car beside you, dping so can be viewed as a false start and a penalty can come as a result.
You must wait for the car beside you to move forward before you floor it!
No passing before the start finish line! Penalties will be strictly enforced for false starts, illegal passing, and overall aggressive driving!

GT300

The same procedure will be followed by the GT300 Cars
GT300 pack should be at least 5 seconds behind the GT500 pack.

ADITIONAL GUIDLINE REGARDING START PROCEDURE
When the GT300's are sorted. GT300's will run one lap and park behind the GT500's prior the formationlap.

IMPORTANT: In case of a disonnect during the formationlap, the cars behind have to maintain their position, and can NOT move up the grid. Doing so can result in a penalty for breach of "jump start".

Real Life Example of a Rolling Start:

________________________________________ _______________________________________

Raceday

Mixed Class: There will be 2 races held which will be split into two rooms. Each race/grid
will consist of Seven GT500 cars and seven GT300 cars. The top seven qualifiers for each class will
be relegated to Division 1, while the bottom seven will go to Division 2.

Same Class: GT500 and GT300 cars will battle their own kind. There will be only one room per class.
Top 14 qualifying times will make this single-room event

Hosts: Announced 24 hours prior to the race.

________________________________________ _______________________________________

Points System

Race Percentage Completion

Drivers must complete atleast 85% of the overall race lenght or he/she
will not earn a single championship point (bonus points is kept).
Points classification will move up accordingly. This means any D2 driver can
earn as much as finishing second overall.

Bonus Points

10 - Finish the Race
3 - Pole Position
2 - Fastest Lap

Participation

To accommodate real life commitments (absences), only 8 races will be counted into your standings.
You can drop which ever 2 races you feel like.

Race Starts

CONNECT TIME AND RACE TIME
ALL drivers must be in the room atleast 30 minutes prior the race. If not, you will be excluded from the race, and all drivers below will move up accordingly. We need to have 30 minutes to make sure that drivers have the time to change rooms/comming in from waiting lists.
All drivers must stay tuned of the situation 30 minutes prior the race by looking in this thread. If a driver is missing, a steward or the host for that race where a driver is missing will state that wery clearly in this thread. If a driver is missing in D1, pole for D2 will move up to 7th in D1, and the first on the waiting list will move up to 7th in D2.
This is a bit of a communication issue, and that's why I ask all drivers to stay sharp during the half-hour-mark prior the race to make the task as easy to manage as possible for us stewards.

Host Checklist

1. Setup the Raceroom atleast 1 hour prior race start (Connect Time).
*Type: "WSGTC ROUND x"

::::: CODE OF RACING CONDUCT :::::

I. Gentleman's Rule

Any GT300 car can use the entire width of the track, however, as soon as it is caught by a fast approaching GT500 car, the GT300 driver must hold its line and allow the faster car to go through at the first available opening. If for some reason the GT300 driver has been caught up in traffic and is unable to hold it's line, the overtaking car will flash his high beam lights to indicate that he is about to overtake. A driver that chooses to ignore the signal multiple times will be reported to the Stewards.

II. Passing

Who has the right of way into a corner will depend on the positions of the cars. If an overtaking car is fully alongside its competitor within or after the braking point, the rights to the corner goes to the overtaking driver. The car being overtaken must surrender the position and should not turn in to the other driver. Otherwise, if the overtaking driver is not fully alongside its competitor at the turn in point, the rights belong to the driver ahead, and it is the obligation of the car attempting to overtake to give the other driver room and do everything possible to prevent an incident. As we all know, peripheral vision is limited in Sim Racing so it is advised that you maximize the available resources we have, such as mirrors, track maps, and audio cues like engine and exhaust notes, to prevent incidents.

III. Defensive Driving

Depending on the situation, any car can be overtaken from either side of the track. You can defend your position only 'once' by changing directions. Anything overly aggressive like sudden movements (when the overtaking car is about to pass and is very close) or deliberately squeezing the car beyond the edge of the track or any other unusual change of direction are strictly forbidden. This is considered illegal blocking and any driver found guilty of using such a method of driving should be reported to the Stewards.

Driving down a straight and placing your car off or opposite the driving line far in advance before the braking point, forcing your opponent to take the outside line or a different line in general, is considered a reasonable strategy for defending your position. This counts as 'one move' - pertaining to the 1st paragraph above. Any more sudden movements right after will be considered illegal blocking and should be reported to the Stewards. This rule may differ from each track in the calendar, notices will be posted prior to the race to accommodate unique variations from each venues (length and width - ex. Nurburgring, La Sarthe).

IV. Track Contact

a) Drivers must always keep 2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
b) The edges of the track are marked with white lines and are considered to be a part of the track. Gray/Concrete cobbles are part of the tack.
c) The Rumble Strips are part of the track; however, all surfaces with green paint, either beside it or be the rumbles themselves, are not part of the track
d) Do not hit any objects visible or invisible (eg. cones, barriers, walls, etc.)

In a situation where the driver goes off the track, and without prejudice to part (e) below, he may rejoin, only when it is safe and without gaining any advantage.
Also, if a driver unintentionally or intentionally leaves the track and gains a spot, he must relinquish that spot or he will be penalized.

e) Drivers committing serious mistakes repeatedly or seem to have a problem with keeping the car on the track would be reported to the Stewards and could result in penalties.

At any given time during the season, drivers are expected to follow these rules. Any driver who deliberately appears to break any of these rules to gain advantage at any stage in the race or the season could be penalized by the Stewards as in the case of 'Excistor' during the 2nd race of the preseason, when he deliberately collided with multiple cars, resulting into damaged cars and ruined races. 'Excistor' has now been banned from the series.

V. Driver's Reputation

Every week, drivers will be awarded or deducted points depending on their race conduct (Points will vary). This Rep system will be a good way of telling who's clean or dirty and who's patient or aggressive.

Points:
Finishing race without any incidents: 15p
Finishing race without any incidents but sustaine a warning: 5p
Finishing race with a penalty recieved, but no damage was done to another car: 0p
Finishing race with a penalty recieved and also causing damage to another car: -10p
Finishing race with a penalty recieved of such nature that the penalty is beyond that perticular race:-20p
Finishing race with a DQ: -25p
Finishing race with a suspention from next or mre races: -30p/race

::::: PENALTY SYSTEM :::::

Stewards have the power to impose various penalties on a driver if he commits an offence during a race. Offences include jumping the start, causing an avoidable accident, unfairly blocking another driver, impeding another driver when being lapped, or gaining an advantage by leaving the track. Penalties will vary depending on severity of offence. Stewards can impose time penalties, reprimand a driver, exclude him from the results, or suspend him from the next race.

I. Offences

Breach of the required vehicle specs and 'Race Rules' (minimum DQ)
Breach of the 'Gentleman's Rule' (minimum 10 second penalty)
Breach of Track Contact Rules (minimum 10 second penalty)
False Start (Passing before start finish of Rolling Start) (minimum 10 second penalty)
Avoidable contact resulting to damage (minimum 40 second penalty)
Hindering drivers from overtaking by changing directions more than once (minimum 10 second penalty)
Illegal blocking/forcing cars off track (minimum 10 second penalty)
Not relinquishing gained position/s after leaving off track (minimum +25 second penalty)
Rejoining track after an off without regards to oncoming traffic (minimum +10 second penalty)
Overall aggressive driving (minimum warning)

Any of the above can add up together resulting to bigger timed penalties and/or Disqualification.

II. Penalties

Specifics

+10 seconds to Total Time
+25 seconds to Total Time
+40 seconds to Total Time
+5 spots down the grid to next race
Exclusion from Results (DQ)
Suspension for 1 Race + Probation for whole season
Exclusion from the whole Championship

Breach of Racing Code - IV. Track Contact

Three Strike System
Strike 1: Warning
Strike 2: +10 seconds
Strike 3: +40 seconds (May depend after Steward deliberation)
Further track contact violations will result to bigger timed penalties and/or Disqualification.

III. Reporting an Incident

Issues must be first kept privately between the parties involved (through the PM system). If the said parties do not come to a mutual agreement, the issue must be escalated and reported to the Stewards within 24 hours after the race, otherwise, thanks to the crap replay system, penalties will not be given out or considered unless it is noted by the Stewards (If you are involved, it is your responsibility to inform the Stewards of your side of the story within the 24 hour time limit). Furthermore, if a Steward/s is/are involved in an incident, he/she will be excluded temporarily from the Stewards Committee.

Please disclose important information about incidents along with your report.

Lap/Time when incident occurred
How long did incident occur (approx.)
How many were involved
Who was/were involved

Deliberation Process

An incident is reported and/or noted by Drivers/Stewards
Stewards will contact driver/s in potential fault
After hearing both parties, Stewards will review the replay and give suitable penalties.

Enforcing Penalties

Penalties will be strictly enforced. They can neither be appealed nor reversed.

Mini Daytona race report:

I knew to be competitive in Daytona Track, my Lexus was fast, very balanced and I love this track...

I started the race trying to take an advantage, but PJ could remain in my slipstream, and don't waste time on me .. I have to do my congratulations to PJ because it is not easy to follow a driver without make mistakes, and also why his strategy was excellent .. many times the drivers don't understand that it is useless to pass a more faster driver .. you can only lose time.
On 9 / 10 lap PJ has made a small mistake and I was able to get away from him.
I then controlled the race trying not to miss anything, my tires was good .. and in the end I finally won my first Championship race.
My goal for this season was to win a race in this very hard Chempionship where there are professional, fair and very strong drivers.This championship is a rare gem and I am proud to be involved.
I win .. and I am very happy.
I look to the next two races in the hope of doing well again.
Congratulations to all drivers and thank you.

Andrea-Nycrom

GT300 guys.. where are you? We only had 3 GT300's last race at Daytona. Since next race is same class at Nurburgring with time/weather it would be great if at least the main guys would show up. It's 2 weeks until next race, so maybe Shrugging_Atlas and GTP_Senninha are back from their trips. I also hope to see KamyKaze1098.. HortusIX and his friend, and also GTP_Aderrrm would be nice to see as well. Anyone heard from Bakugekiki? He was wery involved in the beginning of the series but just disappeared.

Denilson · Apr 17, 2011

Great Senninha 👍 Btw, you've noticed that round 9 and 10 are postponed for 1 week?

Also, you guys might've noticed that I've closed all sign-ups from this round. Any new driver at this point is just going to stay with us for 2 races. And I think that's to short time. We got a really tight end of the championship comming up, and it would be sad if it got ruined by a new driver who we don't know so well. Not saying that new drivers are bad or anything, just the fact that a new driver can't end up high enough to take him in when the battle for the championship is put in to the equation. 👍

I really hope that as many drivers as possible, that are already signed up will participate in this last two and hopefully insane but clean races. 👍

Wardez · Apr 17, 2011

Totally agreewith you on the decision to close sign ups.

I think instead of taking new sign ups we should make an effort to reach out to all the guys who're unaccounted for or other-wise inactive to see if we can at least get a good sized last race.

Also, congrats again to Nycrom on the win. Awesome write up. I could tell it was a special win for you 👍

and yes the series is definitely a gem :cheers:

Yea, totally agree... I'll start sending out PM's to all official drivers during the end of next week in an attempt to make the last two rounds something really special. And the more drivers, the more can happen... :scared:

Great Senninha 👍 Btw, you've noticed that round 9 and 10 are postponed for 1 week?

Also, you guys might've noticed that I've closed all sign-ups from this round. Any new driver at this point is just going to stay with us for 2 races. And I think that's to short time. We got a really tight end of the championship comming up, and it would be sad if it got ruined by a new driver who we don't know so well. Not saying that new drivers are bad or anything, just the fact that a new driver can't end up high enough to take him in when the battle for the championship is put in to the equation. 👍

I really hope that as many drivers as possible, that are already signed up will participate in this last two and hopefully insane but clean races. 👍

have noticed so i only missed daytona instead of both nurb and daytona

Joshua1994 · Apr 17, 2011

I know this is slightly off topic, but will there definitly be a season 2? would actually love it if i can start from the beginning of the season instead of halfway through!

GT300 guys.. where are you? We only had 3 GT300's last race at Daytona. Since next race is same class at Nurburgring with time/weather it would be great if at least the main guys would show up. It's 2 weeks until next race, so maybe Shrugging_Atlas and GTP_Senninha are back from their trips. I also hope to see KamyKaze1098.. HortusIX and his friend, and also GTP_Aderrrm would be nice to see as well. Anyone heard from Bakugekiki? He was wery involved in the beginning of the series but just disappeared.

hi guys,

sorry i wasn't round for the Rolex GT, i think i got confused about what you said about not allowing any non-qualified drivers into the race because it was a one-room set up - when i chekced who had qualified i saw that there were no places left (taking into account only 14 drivers would be allowed to join)...

myself and my friend Josh will be available for the last two races... really looking forward to nurb 24 as it's same class 👍

bakugekiki is on my PSN list so i'll msg him to find out if he'll be back - i think, though, that he helps run another league so it might be that he's just too busy to race here as well.

WP to Nycrom and Moleman for their wins 👍

see you next week :dopey:

HortusIX · Apr 17, 2011

on a separate note:

how will the quali work for round 9 at nurb 24? will it be similar to Sarthe?

Paginas1 · Apr 17, 2011

@ Josh - Yes we are having a season 2. We will have a big discusion after this season on what needs to be changed/added etc

@HotruIX - Im not sure Chorda thinks of bright ideas (which are good lol) i dunno if it will work (the same as Sarthe) because the lap is about 8 or 9 minutes long

Also this week (friday) we will have a random race for fun for people who are around. any ideas? i think i read LMP/Group C cars

Denilson · Apr 17, 2011

HortusIX: Yes, the Nurburgring 24h quali will be similar to the La Sarthe quali.

The lap will start from the sector line in Quiddelbacher (the fast downhill towards Flugplatz).

Quali will be held Monday to Wednesday next week. If someone want to do the qualifier before Monday, just post here or PM a steward about it. 👍

Yes, we'll defenetly have a season 2. As Paginas said, we are going to have a huge discussion about improvements. I got a lot of ideas, hopefully good ones.

HortusIX · Apr 18, 2011

thanks guys... :cheers:

i'm not completely familiar with the names of the sectorss around nurb 24 but im guessing that after the race in two weeks time we'll all be able to take people on guided tours, we'll have been practicing that much

what time will the fun-race be paginas?

also, i know that sign-ups are closed and ive noticed that Josh_F_1998 hasnt been included on the OP in the list of official drivers for the GT300 class ...does this mean he'll have to wait till next season to get a drive?

Denilson · Apr 18, 2011

No, Josh_F_1998 was signed up before we closed the sign-ups. I've just not updated the OP yet. But I really need to know that he understand all rules, procedures etc. Can you vouch for him HortusIX?

HortusIX · Apr 18, 2011

i race with him almost everyday and he's clean and fair... i can vouch for him that he'll behave and race in the spirit of the championship 👍

also, with regards to the rules and procedures, i'll go through them with him and we'll do a few practice runs together so he knows what's what etc...he's 13 but shows a lot of maturity for his age - this translated into his first league win at our last race on saturday and he's looking forward to racing in this league as well

Denilson · Apr 18, 2011

I don't care about his age as long as he can drive and does not cause any trouble... I wish him good luck and I hope he'll have as fun as we all do. 👍

I think the most important thing to explain is braking while in slipstream and rejoining track after an off/spin. If he can deal with those kind of situation I'm fine.

HortusIX · Apr 18, 2011

ok Chorda, thanks for letting him join...

if there's anything you or any of the other stewards need me to do to help with the series just PM me

Andil · Apr 18, 2011

Is anyone able to host a practice/quali session tonight? Also the quali lap is very long still, is it from before Flugplatz, all the way to the finish line? No problem with that, just checking

Yes, it's from the sectorline just before Flugplatz all the way to the finish-line 👍
Quali will be set to 1 lap. So quali will take about 8 minutes.. Pretty much the same as when we are doing the 4 lap procedure.

I can't host I'm afraid. Won't be ablo to until Wednesday.
But you've noticed that the race is held NEXT Friday, right?
