- It will basically consist of 1 out lap, 1 hot lap, and 1 cool down lap.
How it will work:
All drivers will wait in their vehicle in the pits.
The first driver will exit the pits to start their out lap.
Once the first driver crosses the first or second sector line (depending on circuit) to start their out lap the next driver will exit the pits to start their out lap
After the second driver crosses the first or second sector line (depending on circuit) to start their out lap the next driver will exit the pits to start their out lap
this will continue until all drivers have exited the pits to start qualifying
Cool down lap:
After completing your hot lap/qualifying lap please continue to drive until you are a safe distance from the start/finish line
Then please exit the track and return to the lobby or continue to the pits and wait until qualifying is over.
Please remain greened up while in the lobby or your qualifying time will be nullified.
How do I know when to exit the pits to start qualifying?:
Please join the party chat. The lobby host will let you know when its your turn to exit the pits via party chat.

Stuck on Grid
If a driver is stuck on a grid we will issue 1 restart. The driver who was stuck will be moved to the back of the grid. After the restart if the driver is still stuck we ask that they exit the race. The driver will then be issued a last place finish for the race.
Incident Reporting
There is an incident report form that will need to be filled out within 24 hours of race completion if you would like an incident reviewed.
Quitting During a Race
If a driver quits during a race for any reason other than a disconnect/stuck on grid/personal issue (i.e. rage quits) they will lose any and all points accrued during the race night.
The offending driver will also be issued a warning for their first offense.
If a second offense occurs the driver will then face a 1 race suspension from the series
If a driver quits during a race we ask that you message the lobby host as soon as possible with a reason for quitting
If a message is not received within 24 hours of the race end it will be assumed to be a rage quit
Drivers that quit between races for any reason other than a disconnect/stuck on grid/personal issue will lose any and all points accrued during the race night.
If you do exit between races please state in the chat that you will not be returning and follow up with a message to the lobby host why you left.
Drivers that leave between races will not receive warnings or suspensions
Again if the driver does not message the lobby host with a reason why they left within 24 hours of the race completion it will assumed to be a rage quit.
Any drivers that experience connection issues or have to leave for personal matters will not be penalized.
