Qualifying:

There is two stage qualifying for the series.
1: Room Lobby / Lounge will be open for 20 mins for qualifying to post your fastest time. This will
determine your grid position for the qualifying race.
2: After 50 mins of qualifying there will be a 2-3 Lap Qualifying Race.
* Qualifying Race will have Penalties set to Low.
* Qualifying Race will have a grid start​

Pace Lap: 1 lap will be added to the race distance for a formation pace lap. After qualifying drivers will be called one by one to exit the pit in the order they finished. The first driver will stop 100m after they exit the pit and everyone will line up behind them in order. DO NOT pass the driver in front of you. After everyone is out of the Pits the Race will be started.

Drivers will line up in a staggered formation. A minimum of 3 car lengths must be between cars in the same lane. You are not allowed to pass the the bumper of the car in the lane next to you.

The Formation Lap speed limit is 100 kph / 60 mph
*Stay in your qualifying order
*Do not hit other cars or exceed the speed limit


Rolling Start: When pole driver turns onto the pit straight the race will go green flag once 100m from start/finish line. ((This point will be clarified before each race.)) No Passing is allowed until crossing the start finished line. Drivers will be penalized for false starts and illegal passing.

Pit Lane is closed during the pace lap. Drivers who enter the pits will recieve a penalty

Overtaking: clean overtaking is the responsibility of the overtaker, if any racing incidents happen as a result of poor overtaking, the overtaker may be held responsible and penalized. * If the defender is found braking excessively early to defend or to cause an incident they will be penalized.

Track Position: If you gain a position by cutting a corner or pushing another driver off the track you must immediately allow that other person to pass you and give back that position back.

Blocking: Drivers are allowed only one change of direction on a straight or turn to defend their track position.

Lapped Drivers: Back markers must yield faster traffic at the first safest opportunity. Back makers shall use slower, wider entires into turns and/or allow lead drivers to pass freely on straights. Lapped do not have to pull off the track to allow lead drivers by.
Lead Drivers are not allowed to ram, push, or spin back makers off the track to get by - over taking rules are still in effect.

Bump Drafting: NASCAR style bump drafting is not allowed. (really - do i have to mention this .......:boggled: )

Race Incident reporting: To report a race incident (or a suspected incident) after the race send me a PM with info on what happened and what lap in happened on. If you dont give me a lap, I'm not watching the replay.

Driver reputation system:
Each driver is going to start the season with 20 points next to their name.
You will lose points for causing race incidents / accidents and poor driving.
This system should help distinguish the clean drivers / from the not so clean drivers.
Any driver who receive(s) complaints or is given a penalty will lose rep points.

Examples
* Knocking another driver off the track and causing them to lose their position -2 pts
* Knocking a driver off the track and causing them damage - forcing them to lose more than 1 position - 4 pts
* Getting caught cutting corners - 2 pts
* Cutting a corner to gain a position - 2 pts
* Passing on the rolling start before the start line - 2 pts
* Any other insistences not mentioned - 1 -4 pts

Team Orders If "Alonso is faster than U" .... Then you should probably drive faster :lol:

im too tired to re organize this thread tonight, i will make it all pretty again sometime this week. keep those ideas coming guys.
 
I'd like to see a schedule something like this....

La Sarthe set to Rain
Suzuka weather
Laguna Seca
Daytona Road
Indy road (or how about Indy oval? my pipe dream lol)
Season finale once again @ La Sarthe
 
  • Daytona Road
  • ---------------
  • Suzuka (Sunny start, random weather)
  • ---------------
  • Track editor Eiffel course suited for LMPs (Sunny start, random weather)
  • ---------------
  • Laguna Seca
  • ---------------
  • La Sarthe 2009 (Sunny start, random weather)
 
Nothing Nurb. Not even GP.

Mazda.
Daytona Road is fun.
Suzuka would be ok.
Indy Road may be interesting, hate the track but still think it might be fun.
Maybe Sarthe no chicane as intro race
and Sarthe with chicane for season end.

If we do a created course we all should have access early on to get used to it.
 
My wish list. :)

- Nurburgring 24HR/ Weather/ Time Change
- Monza/ Weather
- Suzuka/ Weather
- Le Sarthe/ Weather/ Time Change
- Mazda Raceway
- Indy Road Course

I don't want to hae Daytona Road, I didn't race for a reason. I'm no good at that track. With any car really.

I like Mikes idea of a eifel circuit. I have an epic one which will test your driving ability to the limit if you want to try it out. Its my Spa and has a layout like a dog with a deformed tail.

A lot of interest already...
 
This idea will probably go down like a lead balloon but hear me out. I was just watching the Malaysian GP and thought to myself, what a wonderful world. No. Actually I thought wouldn't it be great if we had a system which makes mad and frantic overtaking races. My idea is after each full 1 hour race, we run a 2 or 3 lap race (depends on quali distance) with reverse grid order from previous race results. You could give 3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for third. Just as a little thing so we all get to be grouped together and overtaking. It also means the slow people have a chance of scoring extra points while the fast ones get to prove their worth by overtaking a whole field. Just an idea. TBF it would be great overtaking. Would also allow for epic photo shoots

We have raced Daytona Road in both seasons, I myself would love to scrap it for S3.

I still think these are in S3:

La Sarthe Finale is obvious
Grand Valley - we need to try this one, could be fun
Suzuka returning
Laguna Seca, many wanted to race here

The last one could be anything. I would love to see Monza again, it could have been a close race and with the R8 not being dominating it should be. Other options are a created track which we all agree to race, and without mountains, Fuji (although it's boring) or maybe the '05 La Sarthe.

Just did some testing with the R8. Adding 85 kg it is still one of the fastest cars, but 70 kg and it's fastest times (with my setup) is 3.17s. Maybe its weight should be 970 or 975 kg, depending on the power limit for the season.

I still suggest the HP limit to be higher, maybe 950s. That would make the Sauber, Peskies, MINOLTA etc. more competitive to the already fast 908s and GT-Ones.

HP limit 838: R8 @ 975kg (+75kg) and the 908 and GT-One are the new dominating cars (at least the GT-Ones are)
HP limit 950: R8 @ 955kg (+55kg) and the field is more close, as the 1000+bhp cars would be closing the gap to the R8 and GT-One.
 
i think of those tracks :

Monza - Wet
Suzuka
Nurburgring GP/F
Grand Valley Speedway
Circuit De La Sarthe 2005.
