Time
The races will be held at 3PM GMT (4PM UK Time), and should be over by about 5:15PM GMT, including Qualifying and slight delays.
Official Chat Room
When the race event is on, we will use a chat room for talking before and after the race.
Here is the link: http://tinychat.com/daxcobra
You can join the chat room at any time if you wish to discuss anything with me, or just discuss the series faster.
Tyres:
In Season 3, we will be changing from Racing Hards to Sports Softs. This is to increase driver input needed to keep the cars on the track, and to make racing more exciting and closer. The switch will probably make tyre wear a bit stronger also, which means more strategy will be needed to succeed.
Racing Intermediates and Racing Rain Tyres will still be allowed in wet races, but no other racing tyres.
Qualifying[
* At 4PM GMT we will start qualifying. The qualifying session will last 15 minutes and the race will automatically start.
*Once you have entered the track for qualifying, you are not allowed to back out to change your set up. If you need to change your tyres, drive into the pits.
*When you come out of the pits, make sure you stay within the lines. Failure to do so may result in a penalty.
*Be respectful to fellow race drivers. If you are on a fast lap, you shouldn't really be expected to move out of the way for someone else, but excessively holding someone up is frowned upon, especially if you are not on a flying lap.
*Make sure you leave a gap between you and other drivers so incidents do not occur. If you do your best to stay away from others on the track in qualifying, you can't complain about being held up.
Rolling Starts
*At the start of a race, the cars will set off at cruise speed (60 - 80 MPH) around the track for one lap.
*No overtaking is allowed on the outlap, and the car on pole will control the pace.
*Tyre warming is not allowed on the Rolling Start lap.
*The cars will drive up to the start line at 80 MPH. As soon as a car crosses the Start/Finish Line, it is allowed to go flat out.
Race
* No collisions or blocking on purpose are allowed.
*If you hit a driver off of the track or cause them to spin, pull to the side of the circuit to let them through again.
*Nudges and taps are generally accepted in motorsport, however, pushing someone wide to gain a place will earn you a penalty.
* Do not quit the race in anger. It is a long race, anything can happen.
* Backmarkers have to let race leaders through.
* Upon entering and leaving the pits, stay within the white/yellow lines.
* Pit stops ARE madnatory. You will have to pit atleast once in each race.
* If you have suffered due to one of these rules being broken, do NOT talk about it in the chat. Simply file the complaint towards one of the stewards and wait for a decision to be made. We do not want any animosity between racers.
