Teams must run in the same colours.
313 BHP, 950 KG, 484 PP (specs after Oil Change from GT Auto)
- All cars must use Sports:Soft tyres.
- Tuning Prohibited. All cars must be stock and untuned. Oil Changes from GT Auto are permitted.

BHP Handicap System:
For this series, a BHP Handicap System will be employed as a form of "success penalty" to keep the championship open. This will take the form of a reduction in horsepower for the Top 5 finishers in each race (as in each race within a race night, and carried over from the final race of one week to the first race of the following week). To achieve this, in between races the Top 5 finishers must alter their horsepower using the Power Limiter function. The reduction bands are as follows:
1st Place: -30hp (283hp)
2nd: -24hp (289hp)
3rd: -18hp (295hp)
4th: -12hp (301hp)
5th: -6hp (307hp)

Penalty System & Stewards:
Penalty System & Stewards:
By signing up to the series you agree to accept and observe the series rules.
Stewards are rolo912011, skengdigi, PleaseD1e and Street-King-07. Please PM the stewards via GTPlanet or PSN regarding on-track incidents. Do NOT publicly address the issue with the other driver(s) involved. In general, the stewards will only view what is reported to them via PM, although action may also be taken if any non-reported incidents are seen.
For any stewards' decision to stand, at least two of the stewards must agree to it, else no action will be taken, or the most lenient penalty available will be applied. Stewards are not allowed to judge incidents involving themselves. The reasons for penalties will not be made public - please PM the stewards if you want an explanation for your penalty/penalties, or to appeal.
You will be issued a warning if your driving in a certain incident is perceived to be unacceptably 'dirty' - this means you are automatically given 2 penalty points. You can receive a maximum of one warning per race, but it is possible to receive multiple warnings in one race night!
You will be banned for one race meeting if you earn 8 penalty points during the season (i.e. 4 warnings). Race bans do not count as drop scores. If you earn enough points to be banned due to an incident or incidents at the final round of the season, then your ban carries over to your next BTCC event/season.
You will be banned for the rest of the season if you earn 12 penalty points during the season. (i.e. 6 warnings). New drivers may be placed on probation after their first meeting if they earn enough penalty points/time penalties in their debut round. If their standard of driving is continued at their second meeting, then they will be removed from the series.
Time penalties are not normally associated with a warning, but it is at the stewards' discretion. If you have already received a warning in a single race, you will be issued time penalties for any further rule breaks during that race (of at least 5 seconds each). Other incidents may be worthy of only a time penalty, of variable length. Pitting too early or too late incurs a 10-second penalty. Failing to pit at all means a 60-second penalty.
It is not possible for us to record and re-play instances of drivers being blocked in Qualifiers. However, if the stewards receive persistent complaints of blocking from several events, or if any incidents are seen on-track by a steward, then the driver at fault will be penalised with warnings and/or time penalties.
Off-track behaviours can also be penalised. Please respect other drivers off the track (on GTP or PSN), as well as on it. Penalties will be issued if a drivers' behaviour is considered disrespectful or offensive, or if a driver persistently attempts to stir up trouble in discussion. There are no maximum limits to the penalties, and you may face a season-long or even permanent ban! We're all here to have fun and ultimately, we're all playing a video game. Let's all have good-spirited racing.
👍All decisions are at the stewards' discretion, and may include penalties not listed here. The series owner reserves the right to make the final decision on cases where appropriate. All drivers are welcome to appeal any penalties given to them, provided they do so within 24 hours of the race results being published. If your appeal is successful, any changes to your penalty points total, or the points standings, will be included in the tables published after the next round of the series.
---------------------------

Three approx. 20-minute races per week. Pre-Qualifying system for races. 8 rounds over 8 weeks. Drivers', Teams', Manufacturers' and Independents' Championships.
DROP SCORE SYSTEM - each drivers'/teams'/independents' worst score of the season will be dropped, meaning 6 scores out of 8 will count for the overall championships. This allows drivers to miss two rounds with no disadvantage.
Drivers' Championship: Drivers must be registered for the championship for at least 7 rounds in order to qualify for a drop score.
Teams' Championship: A 'Team' is defined as no more than two drivers running under the same entry name. Two drivers can team up at any time, but any points scored before the team is formed will not be counted for the Team. Teams must be registered for at least 7 rounds in order to qualify for a drop score.
Independents' Championship: An 'Independent' is defined as any driver who is not part of a team. Drivers must be registered as an Independent for at least 7 rounds in order to qualify for a drop score.
Teams' Championship: A 'Team' is defined as no more than two drivers running under the same entry name. Two drivers can team up at any time, but any points scored before the team is formed will not be counted for the Team. Teams must be registered for at least 7 rounds in order to qualify for a drop score.
Independents' Championship: An 'Independent' is defined as any driver who is not part of a team. Drivers must be registered as an Independent for at least 7 rounds in order to qualify for a drop score.
Race Night Attendance, Procedure and Rules:
Arrive on time! Due to the race format, the schedule is tight. We encourage all drivers to arrive at least 5 minutes before spec checks are due to begin for their session. In general, we will not wait for latecomers, and we will start no later than 10 minutes after schedule regardless of circumstances. The only circumstances in which the start will be delayed further will be in the case of unexpected mass DCs/black screens/game freezes. If you are well aware of your individual connection problems, then we may not wait for you, and we may have to ask you to leave the series if your connection seriously affects the field.
Top 10 "Locked-In"
The top 10 drivers in the Drivers' Championship (or less to accommodate the stewards) will be automatically guaranteed a starting position for each week's races. All other drivers must run through Pre-Qualifying in order to fill the remaining 6 spaces in the lounge. Extra qualifying spaces will become available if Top 10 drivers do not attend.
Race Night
- Pre-Qualifying (6.45pm GMT) - an 8-minute Qualifier, run as a 'Race Together' Qualifier. Drivers will have their cars spec-checked and their connection strength analysed before the session begins. The session will begin at 6.45pm GMT regardless of any other circumstances. If you do not arrive on track in time, you are out. If you disconnect during the Qualifier, it is classified as a DNPQ and you are also out. A 1-lap race will begin at the end of the Qualifier, and once results have been noted you must quit the race. Do NOT drive or leave the line once the race starts.
Please do not obstruct other drivers during Qualifying sessions! If you're not on a fast lap, either get off the track or drive way off the racing line and slow down/stop if you see a driver coming. Please stop in a sensible place!
- Race 1 (7.05pm GMT approx.) - grid will be determined by a 10-minute Qualifier, run as a 'Race Together' Qualifier. Drivers will have their cars spec-checked and their connection strength analysed before the race begins. The Qualifier will begin at 7.05pm approx. at the latest regardless of latecomers, who will not be able to enter the session late and will therefore miss Race 1. This session will be considered a 'race' session, and therefore any DCs will be treated as a non-start/DNF, as you cannot rejoin a Qualifier once you have left it.- Race 2 (7.40pm GMT approx.) - grid will be set to reversed based on Race 1 results. Drivers will have their cars spec-checked again before the race begins. DCs in Race 1 will be treated as a DNF and therefore you will start Race 2 from the front of the grid. Anyone who purposely retires, whether or not in an attempt to start Race 2 up front, will be forced to start at the back, and will be further penalised after the race. The grid would then be completed manually.
- Race 3 (8.05pm GMT approx.) - grid will be set to reversed based on Race 2 results. Drivers will have their cars spec-checked again before the race begins. DCs in Race 2 will be treated as a DNF and therefore you will start Race 3 from the front of the grid. Anyone who purposely retires, whether or not in an attempt to start Race 3 up front, will be forced to start at the back, and will be further penalised after the race. The grid would then be completed manually.
Manual grids will be used as a backup procedure for any race in case of any problems.
During the Race
This series follows the GTP OLR Rules for acceptable conduct in racing, and these must be followed at all times!
Races will not be stopped in the case of major pile-ups. However, races will be stopped if there is deemed to be too much lag. Attempts will be made to run the races on the scheduled date if at all possible.
Mandatory pit-stops and pit windows. Make sure your pit entries and exits are fair and safe! Any kind of incident must be avoided. Do not use cars in front as brakes on pit entry. Otherwise, entries and exits are free from any restriction.
2 wheels on track at all times. No exceptions! 'Track' is defined as being between the white lines. If the 'racing line' requires you to cross a white line (e.g. last sector at Trial Mountain), then it is acceptable to do so. Two wheels are allowed on kerbs.
Bumpdrafting is legal, so long as you do not risk a crash. Avoid when nearing a braking zone.
Using horns is not against the rules, but is not recommended. Don't irritate people with them. If horn use is a factor in causing a crash, it will be taken into account and could increase the penalty.
You are not allowed to purposely retire/rage-quit from Race 1 or 2. If you need to retire, park in a safe place.
Unnecessary in-race chat is not acceptable, and will be penalised!

Total Drivers: 18 / 24
- Drivers who do not give an entry name before Round 1 of the season will be put down as 'Privateer' and entered in the Independents' Championship. This can be changed afterwards if requested.
- 'AWOL Rule' - If you miss 3 consecutive rounds of the series (or both of the first 2 rounds) without any reason or comment to let us know, either before or during your absence, then you will be removed from the series, and your space will be freed up for another driver. You can re-apply to join, but you will sit at the back of the queue. Three breaches of this rule within a certain number of seasons will result in future sign-ups being rejected.
It isn't our responsibility to remind you of when the races are!

If the series is full, you may still be able to race, as there will always be one or two places open each week due to people not attending. Sign-up as a reserve and we'll call you if there's space (first reserve has highest priority). 👍
