.: drivers briefing (read! Read! Read!) :.
welcome to wsgtc newbies! I'll keep this brief and in simple english. Race clean, disciplined, and respectful around your fellow competitors! Fast but incompetent drivers need not apply - rather have slow and clean! Read the racing code 685 times (click here!).

You must follow the car specs and regulations pictured below (tba)! Not following specs will result in an immediate disqualification.

While inside the race lobby, do not use the 'chat' feature while stewards are sending out instructions for pre-race checks. If you have questions, go ask them now! Otherwise, read the op. We will be using a special pre-race qualifying that is listed below - read it! Thank you for your patience!

car specs and regulations (all cars at max downforce for gt300!)
gt500 regs - open pp tuning.

.:Spa-Francorchamps Specifics:.

qualification rules for spa-francorchamps will be usual. You have 2 laps to submit your superlap.

important note:
  • Pit Entry: Prior the pit entrance, there's a tight right/left s turn. When going in to the pits, make sure to stay close to the grass on your right side for optimal angle in to the pit lane. It's narrow and sorrounded by concrete. So it can be a disaster to catch a slide. Make sure to take it easy.
  • Pit Exit: The pit exit is short and tight. Going out from the pits with full throttle will cause your car to spin. You can cross the white line when exiting the pits, but as always you need to make sure that you do not interfere with oncomming traffic. If you do interfere, you're subject for recieving a penalty. Same goes for a car on track that cuts the white line and interfere with a car that are about to enter the track.
  • Track bounderies: Always stay inside the white line/red and white rumble strip with at least 2 wheels all the time.
  • Pouhon and Blanchimont are tricky, and going wide here gains you quite some time. Make sure to do your absolute best to stay inside the track limits. Failing to do so repetedly will result in a penalty.
  • Start: The start Line that we will use is located after T1, under the "TOTAL" sign. So you can all take it easy thru T1 and sort yourself on the straight leading down to Eau Rouge.
  • green flag: Polecar will decide where the start is (somewhere before the startline). He must make sure that all cars are clear of the last turn before starting. It's totally up to the pole car, as long as all cars behind him are on the straight. He can not start the race if the last car is still in the middle of the last turn. Pole car has right side of track for first right turn.
  • make sure to stay on track at all times with at least 2 wheels touching white line / red / white curb. You can not use run offs or tarmac of any kind to gain speed. You will be penalized heavily during the race and disqualified for having a dirty lap in qualifying. Just stay inside the rumble strips and course white lines.
  • special mixed class starting procedure: Gt300's will do one lap then line up behind gt500s and wait to roll out.
  • If you feel insecure of where the track limit is, just join a quali-session during mon-wednesday and ask a steward to do a slow lap with you.

.:Announcement 1 - Litchi:.

Masi has been absent for a long time. After a meeting, we decided to reorganize and restructure the WSGTC.

The first thing was to update the Staff. You can see it now here.

And I just updated the schedule and the final car specs.

Dom (CSLACR) is working on developing new rules and changes to some rules already in place. We will communicate you as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, given the current situation, we are not possible to start the season this week. Dave (twistedfirework) is now planning another pre-season race.



.:Very Important Details:.

You are not allowed to enter the tuning screen after PP/HP/WT checks are finished.
You are not allowed to enter the tuning screen in-between races.
In sprint races, you must make one mandatory pit stop, it cannot be on the first (formation) or last lap.
During formation lap, trying to warm-up your tires is disallowed.
During formation lap, no passing until you cross the Start/Finish line.

I'm not taking part this race as I'm away but still around till Thursday so I can help out by watching laps etc
 
Don't take this as a complaint, but wouldn't this be a bit more professional with a better title and things capitalized appropriately?

Thanks for the good practice session Oalithgow and Themainman1980. These cars handle sweet on Spa. I just have to find more time. Practice!


A reminder:
To race Spa must buy the DLC track pack with spa.
We had one driver enter and couldn't mess around cause they didn't have the track yet.
 
im currently in need of a HDMI cable and without that no practicing for me at the moment but i should be getting one soon hopefully.

What sort of time are you hoping for?
 
hey guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I'd love to participate in this race ,to learn more about this series, but unfortunately I won't be able to because I can't buy any DLC since my account belongs to Saudi Arabia PSN and there isn't any near shop which sells the PSN network card for purchasing online neither any online shop offers them. However, I'll be around in the rooms watching and in this forum to see how things will be going. Good luck for everyone.
 
I would like to do mine in a few hours. After I get back home. So I'll join you Scanny. Unless your done by then.
