2024 Le Mans 1000km Race - Spots Open!Open

[Harsk100]

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the 6h edition of Le Mans 1000km Race.
The idea of hosting a Endurance Race was when I have competed into several endurance races and I always wanted to host a endurance race.

The first edition was held in 13th May 2017, featuring Group C and GT1 machinery and the winner of first edition was Frederick Byloos on his Nissan R92CP. In 2018, the 2nd edition of Le Mans 1000km Race was part of MHRA Schedule and it was the first time that the race had LMP1 and GT3 Cars running around the track. The Winner of 2nd Edition was Alexander Erhart.
Le Mans 1000km has returned in 2020 after one sabbatical year and 2021 saw see its 4th edition of Le Mans 1000km.

In 2022, the race wasn't held, but it has returned in 2023 and Le Mans 1000km Race will also be held in 2024 as well.

We're looking forward to see you on the track for the race!

2.1.2- At least one pit Stop is mandatory for the race, plus changing tire compound.

2.2.1- Each qualifying session will have 4 sessions, each two qualifying sessions for each class.

2.2.2- Each qualifying session will last 1 hour.

2.2.3- The qualifying format will be done in Free Run and the drivers are expected to set the fastest lap times for a race.

2.2.4- Once the qualifying sessions end, the Event Promotors will be noting the lap times. Only the fastest lap session will be counted for the Overall Qualifying.

2.2.5- The Organisation has the right to disallow a lap time if a driver is found to breach the regulations, at any time for any reason!

2.2.6- If there are more than 16 drivers, a Pre-Qualifying Session will be done. Pre-Qualifying is a session that 17 or more drivers will attempt to the qualify for the full race. Only 16 drivers will be allowed to qualify, meaning, 8 drivers from Hypercar Class and 8 drivers from GT3 Class.

2.2.7- A driver might choose a Qualifying session which is more suitable for a driver.

Spoiler: 2.3- Starting a race

2.3.1- As soon the drivers join the lobby, they will be called to do the Grid Formation.

2.3.2- Once the drivers are Lined Up for the Grid, the race will be started in a countdown.

2.3.3- The Grid will have a False Start Check.

2.3.4- The drivers who were disconnected and absent during the Qualifying Sessions will start at back of the grid.

2.3.6- Before the final corner, the drivers will make a double file start.

Spoiler: 2.4- Race Flags

2.4.1- The Green Flag will be shown in the straight Line (Start/Finish) line. As soon the Green Flag is shown, the drivers are allowed to accelerate.

2.4.2- As soon a driver crashes during the race, the Yellow Flag will be shown and the leader must slow down, so the cars will be bunched up. The Yellow Flag is only valid when a car crashes and it comes to the full Pit-Stop.

The Mandatory Competition Caution will be done in a Specified Lap and you can do it by pressing "START" to let the car autodrive.

2.4.7- So, for anyone who doesn't finish on the lead lap. When the timer in the bottom right to finish the race comes out, the racers will cross the line and assume it as the chequered flag and do the cool down lap on their own terms instead of the game doing it for them.

2.4.8- Calling a FCY will only be valid if only 2 or more cars lose control and crash each other. If only 1 car crashes and if a FCY is called, it will be considered as a "Inappropriate FCY Call" and will also result in a penalty, depending of the severity.

2.4.10- There will be a minimum of 2 recovering laps, if a lapped driver is lapped by other drivers.

2.4.11- The drivers involved in a crash/incident, who sustain damages must call out the FCY in-game chat and they must be stationary. Failure to do that will be considered as a breach of Full Course Yellow procedure and will result a penalty.

Probably I can make it for QP3, can Michi even try to do some laps this evening, even though he is in GT3?

Yes, he can! He can do on Qualifying Practice Session 4, because this session is for GT3 Cars.
