* there is 1 drop week in the 6 week race season, the drop week will subtract your lowest scoring night to hopefully close the points gap for the winner

The penalty system for this series is a little more relaxed than the Gr.3 series mainly because this is more of a fun break from the regular Gr.4 series. If you feel like you need to file a IR on a driver please fill out the google sheet @Herimopp89 has made, He is our Chief Steward and will review all IR along with the other BoD members.

  • MINOR ACCIDENT: causing minor damage to another drivers car, unsafe re-entry, cutting corners to gain an advantage

  • MEDIUM ACCIDENT: dive bomb, making a pass using out of bounds, not adhering to flag rules, blocking/weaving

  • SEVERE ACCIDENT: causing major damage to another drivers car, not conceding spot if you have ran another driver off track/ bumped them going into a corner intentionally hitting another driver, retaliation, dive bomb with no intention of using the brakes

  • GROUNDS FOR BEING KICKED OUT OF THE LEAGUE: intentionally trying to wreck other drivers, driving wrong way on the track, pretty much being a jacka$$ I don’t see many of us having a problem with this major point deduction because overall this is a clean group of drivers but you never know when you might have to use this penalty
DISCONNECT

With the recent update on GT Sport there have been many instances a driver getting stuck on the grid (including myself). Hopefully this will not be a problem going forward but until GT Sport fixes this problem we will need to adapt a rule for being stuck or disconnecting. The rule we are putting in place for the time being is that if a driver gets stuck on the grid we will restart if problem persist we will ask the driver to clear cache and restart PS4 then rejoin the lobby, if the same driver is still having issues we will ask that driver to leave for the night and issue last place points to the driver/drivers for that race. It really sucks being stuck on the grid and I want everyone to race each week but at the same time we can’t restart more than twice for the same driver it’s not fair to the others.

CONFIRMATION
This series will only be running a single lobby so we will be limited to 16 drivers per race. With that being the case we really need drivers to confirm their spot prior to race night (wednesday) or auto-confirm because drivers who confirm will have the top priority when it comes to a full lobby. If a driver does not confirm before the race they may be asked to leave the lobby to open a space for a driver who has confirmed. Confirmation will open for the weeks race on monday mornings and end wednesday afternoon around 6 pm EST.

Correct. There will be a 1 week break in between the end of the current Gr4 season and the start of this season.
 
Quick update:

Wednesday Aug 21. 9:45
Preseason test and tune session.

We will be running 5-10 lap sprints on all tracks to prepare for the upcoming season.
 
@PApunk924 Are there still spots left? If so, I'd like to sign up.
There are additional slots open. Welcome aboard. Each week there will be a confirmation to secure a spot on the grid. Keep an eye out for the thread and the post to open up confirmations.
