The rules

- No aggressive bumping or hitting.
- One move only blocking (like F1). If being passed you may move to block (no hitting) once in one direction, afterwards if the car gets to the other side then you must allow the pass. This usually only applies only on straits.
- The lead car has the right away, the racing line, and sets the braking point through corners. RESPECT THEIR RIGHT! Try braking early and beating them on exit speed, or waiting for them to slip up.
- Late braking and corner diving is a risky move, often resulting in car-to-car contact. While this move is allowed, use caution as it may result in a bump off track and multiple offenses of this nature will result in loss of points or disqualification from series. This is most important in the first corner, don’t ruin your chance or anyone else’s by trying to skip 5 spots. Respect that those racers out-qualified you and earn your places.
-To put it simply: behave in the races as if you were in a real world car race.

Car contact incidents are part of racing and will always happen. Nobody is perfect.
Everybody makes involuntary driving errors. The important thing is to stay fair.

Here is the procedure to follow in case of an important incident:
-In case of an incident, always first look at the replay
- If after seeing the replay, you still think another driver has disadvantaged you, first contact him by PM.
- If that does not resolve the incident, send a PM to the race steward (host).
- Steward will review the replay and if necessary take a race-decision.
- Never accuse another driver publicly.

The above wording is based on the wording used by WSCC in their rules. thanks guys for making good model rules.

Hope to see you all on track this thursday.

Sounds good I'm up for it. I am almost certain I can't make it to the Circuit De La Sarthe but I'll let you know soon.
 
Thanks for the invite but i'm sorry I will not be participating as I do not have the time. I hope this will help bump your thread because apparently bumping yourself is illegal, but who cares :).

If you're going to do it, actually type out a sentence saying why you're bumping it. Simply using the word "bump" is frowned upon. (I know by experience)

Looks like a nice and fun championship.
However, I can't make the times as I'm holding qualisessions at that time for WSGTC. And if I'm not, I'm at work.. :(

I'll stop by from time to time to see how you guys are doing. And if you need a replacement driver for 1 race, I'd gladly show if I'm able to. Just throw me a PM if you need me. As I told you, I'm running another championship and it takes up all my GT5 time. And I can not promise that I could stay commited.

Good luck with the series! 👍
 
You know what? I just might show up as a late entry. I'm dying to race online at the moment, and the series doesn't seem too hard to get accustomed to.
 
Apparently there is a new game update, so get your downloading done as soona s possible! See you on track later.
 
I would join this but I'm in the BTCC series currently ;)
Plus I'm mainly a drifter so I don't really have enough time for another race series :D
Good luck!
 
also, is this a weekly thing or daily orrrrr all at once, orrrrrrrr something else?
Sorry if it says in the post!

This sounds fun, although Ive never driven the Calsonic, one thing about the time..all this GMT..summertime etc is confusing. What time is the race in Central European Time..does anyone know?

Thanks for quoting the WSCC rules, the WSCC stewards and especially turbogeit has done a lot of great work establishing these rules, and they work very well.

We can always use dedicated clean drivers, so feel free to come over to the club and check out the races there. :)
 
Central European time: 20:00.
Also, i would like to suggest we vote on Skid Recovery Force.

Worduphomes, are you going to add me (and the others possibly too) soon, since the race is less than an hour away? :)

If we are going to vote about the SRF, I'll vote for it.
