Race Formats
1. Road Course Format
- Room opens for practice/tuning at 11:30pm.
- Qualifying for race #1 begins at 11:45pm. The open session will last for 10 minutes.
- Qualifying Race starts immediately after qualifying. Race will be a 15 minute sprint, no mandatory pit stops.
- There will be a 10 minute break where you will be allowed to fine tune your vehicle, if a driver so chooses.
- Main Race. Grid will be set by the finishing order of the Qualifying Race. Race will be 60 minutes in length. Race will have 1 mandatory pit stop that can be taken at any point in the 60 minutes.*
- If, for any reason, you leave the club lobby in between the Qualifying Race and the Main Race, then you WILL lose your starting spot for the main, and will have to start at the back.
- Second, if you do miss the Qualifying Race, and are a group member, you will be allowed the race in the Main. Again, you will have to start from the rear.
2. Oval Format
There will be 3 ovals on the calendar: Indianapolis, Motegi, and High Speed Ring. The format for the night is slight different for these events. There will be only ONE race for the evening, with a shortened qualifying session.
- Room opens for practice/tuning at 11:30pm.
- Qualifying begins at 11:45pm. Everyone will be on track at the same time, but will only see themselves. The open session will last for 5 minutes.
- Main Race. Grid will be set by Qualifying. Race will be determined by a lap counter, not a countdown clock. ***At this time, laps are to be determined, and will be different for each oval.***
- These events will have a Double File Rolling Start at Indy and Motegi (game won't let us do this at High Speed Ring).
Success Ballast
For Main Event results only:
1st - 60 kg
2nd - 40 kg
3rd - 20 kg
Ballast can stack up from race to race, up to 60 kg maximum.
After a driver receives a weight penalty, and in the following race finishes outside of the top 3 positions, that driver will lose 20 kg for the next week. Disconnects do not count.
Weight penalties will be applied for the entire race meeting. Finishing order in the Qualifying Race will NOT effect ballast.

Racing Etiquette
A good guide line to always follow is the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules. To be direct, race smart and race clean. All drivers will be expected to keep two wheels on the track at all times. This certainly includes overtaking. But hey, we're all racers. We know that accidents can happen, even to the best racers. If you feel like you cut the track to make a pass, or rammed into someone to gain a position, you will be expected to give the position back. If you feel there was an incident that should be reviewed, let me know through a private massage with the lap number (and if you can provide the corner, that would also help), and the incident will be reviewed. Point penalties may result.
On Track Penalties
Certain tracks may have penalties on. In these cases, if you do go off track and a penalty does not go off (which can happen), then it is a legal move. If it is for a position, these situations can always be reviewed.
Lapped drivers, or drivers about to lose a lap to the leader are expected to give way to lead drivers in the safest way possible. It is also the responsibility of the lead driver to complete the pass in the safest way possible.
