Welcome to round 1 of the CORE American GT Series. As it is the start of the new season, there will be a number of procedures that will need to be explained to all the drivers.

Race Lobby
The races will be held in the Open Lobby section of the ‘CORE Online Racing official.

Rolling Starts
For the GT races, CORE will use a rolling start procedure. The following is the regulations on performing rolling starts and they must be followed precisely to ensure there is no confusion between drivers. For round 1, drivers will complete a full warm up lap with the race starting at the Start/Finish Line.

5.Start procedure:
5.1 Rolling:
Cars on a rolling start must pace at 80MPH/128KPH top speed around the track, the leading car must maintain a constant speed only slowing down for slower corners which can not be taken safely at 80MPH/128KPH. The 80MPH/128KPH will continue the full warm up lap until the final turn or specified by race organizer where all cars will form up in double file at 50MHP/80KPH.

5.2 Gapping on warm up:
Cars must retain a 2-3 car gap between them selves and the car in front. While on the warm up the odd cars must warm up on the left hand side of the track and the evens must warm up on the right, making a 4-6 car gap between all cars on the grid.

5.3 Formation:
All cars must form up with odds on the left and evens on the right. Formation must be done by the last sector before the start finish line.

Pit Stops
Tyre Rules
There will be 2 tyre compounds used in the race. Soft and medium (A wet weather race will be declared if the surface water is over 25%)

Pit Window
During all the races there will be a Pit Stop Window This will be from 15 minutes to 25 minutes. Once the clock reaches 26 minutes, the pits will be closed apart from emergency repairs. If you pit outside of the Pit stop window you will receive a 30 second penalty.

Pit Entry/Exit Lines
There are solid white lines on the Entry and Exit to the pits. When a driver makes their pit stop they must remain on the left side of those lines when entering or exiting the Track into pit lane

Incident reports
There is a mandatory incident report that MUST be submitted after every race event. There is time limit of 48 hours to submit, any late or none submitted will receive a time penalty of 30 seconds.

Text box and headsets
They can be used during practice, but as soon as qualifying has started we will be under race conditions and there will be a 10 sec penalty for anyone with a headset on or use of the text box.

Pausing to avoid damage
This is completely forbidden in any CORE event and a penalty will be applied to anyone caught using it. It is deemed as cheating and will not be accepted under race conditions.

Is it just me or is the Corvette experiencing MAJOR understeer?

I've noticed the same thing. Trying to work out a tune to make that nonsense stop but I think it's just the weight

Its the position of the weight, you will need to play around to find the right balance, if your still having trouble I may be able to help you out

I can't race on Friday as I have a family party to attend.

All of the other races are still on Saturdays, right?
Click to expand...
Yes they are. Round one was moved to Friday so that it wouldn't interfere with American Independence Day.

I'm not prepared at all so I'm not expecting much out of myself, just a clean race with no silly mistakes.
 
Brutaka
Things are looking hairy for me. Now everyone wants to plan last minute pre-independence day parties
Click to expand...
It looks like attendance will be pretty low tonight due to Rd. 1 being so close to Independence Day so if you can't make it, that's totally OK.
 
Brutaka
BTW PSN is down so be mindful of that too.
Click to expand...
We're monitoring the situation and will update everyone as soon as we can about the status of tonight's race.

EDIT: From what I believe, PSN is now back up.

Will we be allowed to change tire compound if we pit outside the pit window for emergency repairs?

you will still have to come in and change tyres during the pit window, it won't count if you come into the pits and change onto meds 2 laps in then back onto softs (for example)
