To all new series entrants , we have spent many hours calculating and adjusting and are very nearly ready to go public.
If all of you would please read through slowly and carefully the totally new and updated series regs and rules, as i am sure there are some of you that will find an oversight, PJ i know you will , LOL, but anyone please post back anything that is unclear, unfair, un understandalble or undeniably rubbish before you get too drunk. Thanks you.

Driving standards and points penalties
We want this to be a Non contact series, as with heavy damage, even a little nudge can lead to a huge loss of time for any abuse of this rule.
Driving penalties handed to drivers in this series will be very harsh.
All drivers will be expected to drive with due care and consideration to other drivers.
With heavy damage on, any sort of contact will be looked at by the stewards if reported.
Bumping cars ahead and causing them to run wide or rubbing alongside cars and forcing them
to run wide and gaining any advantage must be rectified by giving back any position gained.
2 wheels must on the track at all times and cutting corners excessively will be punished by time harsh penalties added to the race time of that driver.
Any avoidable accident willl be reveiwed and will points deducted at the stewards discresion.
Pitlane entry and exit must be made without hindering other cars at race speed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Race start procedure
Safety Car - pace car start.
Qualying as nomal
Race starts with pole sitter going off the line slowly and varying speed very gradually over the lap.
All cars follow
single file - NO OVERTAKING - keeping a 3 -4 car lengths distance spacing.
!st sector should be made at no more than 70 mph.
2nd sector at no more than 120 mph.
3rd sector slowed down to 50 mph to wait for people who have messaged problems, and then
from last corner through to start line should be accelerating at full speed.
Going over the start line the lead driver should be at full speed if there are no problems.
No car can overtake until after the start line.
Any driver taking any advantage will have points deducted.
2nd Lap Pace car -Safety car
If any driver see lag after half the lap he can message
SC - he will not loose position as the cars behind cannot overtake - the leader will see this and type
OK in response.
The leader will then slow right down and allow the cars to close up again making it fair for the drivers that have slowed a lot when they messaged
SC.
The lead car will continue and repeat the procedure for a second lap.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Qualifying System
Qualifying sessions can take place between Wednesday 19:00 uk time and Sunday 19:00 uk
There are
3 reasons for this.
1 The previous race results will not be posted until Wednesday and the drivers need to know their Championship standings to know their car weight for the next event.
2 Some tracks are running real weather settings & these will not be forcast until the Wednesday.
3 Stewards will also be racing and would like Mondays with no stress or rush so they can concentrate on their own pre race practice.
Official Qualifying sessions will be held with stewards in the club room on
Wednesdays from 18:00 - 19:00 uk
Fridays from 18:00 - 19:00 uk
Sundays from 18:00 - 19:00 uk
cut off time for posting on forum.
Also private Qualifying sessions can be arranged with stewards on the forum.
No qualifying time can be posted after 19:00 uk on Sundays as the official Qualifying positions will be listed and posted.
Private Qualifying sessions
The session will be organised by the driver requesting a qualifying session on the forum by posting the time available for the session.
The Stewards will confirm the session and have the room open and set up in the club lobby with all the correct room settings for the single driver to qualify.
The Steward cannot be a team mate of the qualifyer.
The qualifying run will be started from the pits with full fuel and new tyres.
The run will be made at the drivers car weight listed re championship position.
The run will consist of an out lap and in lap and 2 flying laps in between.
Only the best 2 flying laps will be timed.
The best time will be posted on the forum by the steward.
If the driver crashes, the lap time acheived still stands.
Only one session attempt will be made by each driver.
If there is a disconnect by the driver then best time or no time is posted, the seesion will not be rerun.
If the hosting stewards server Disconnests then it can be re run from the start.
During the session the Steward will observe the laps and if in any doubt will watch a reply to ensure no corner cutting and no track limit violations are made.
Any and each violation will have a 15 second time penalty added top the time.
The steward will then post the drivers psn name with the fastest of the 2 flying lap times made with the added time penalties if a violation has occured.
The expected post would be
PSN mr slow cutter lap 2 1m 27.782 + 2 violations total time 1m 57.782
These times will be put into a list until the qualifying cut off time on the Sunday before the race at 1700 UK time

Teams
Teams of 2 cars can be formed running the same colours.

This would be ideal to to share car setups and would assist race craft.
The stewards would always try to be fair in allowing team formation.
The final points standing of both drivers would be the teams final points.
