Even though the entries are ordered by car number, it almost look as if it was ordered by car choice, strange coincidence.
 
I really liked that. Goldomor and I raced each other for 2 hours and forty five minutes in the WRS 2.4 hour at the Ring a couple of years ago.... on opposite strategies.... criss crossing until I short pitted and switched to his strategy....great fun. We started the weekly Ring series to keep that sort of fun at the Ring alive.
 
Hey guys, after much of thought , I am going to have to withdraw my entry due to its time slot. I live in Tennessee, so adding an hour to 9 pm makes it too late for for me for a race of that length.


Prior to that decision I had been chatting with Antares and Ace about running a similar event in the VLN on a weekend afternoon. We routinely ( every week) run 1 hour, two hour and three hour races at the Ring with a more casual approach on Wednesday afternoons and evenings .Go to https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/the-vln-series.386993/ for more info.

However As a result of the limiting factor of the time of this race, and noting the interest expressed from other time zones, the VLN will shortly announce the time and date of a non conflicting three hour race at the ring which will run on a Saturday afternoon to cater to all timezones. If you like the Ring...come and practice with us any time in our competitive but more casual events.

Again thanks to Ace and Antares....great event and GREAT organization. I plan to return, time slot permitting.

Cheers and check 6

  • When defending track position, drivers are only allowed to make one move in defense. Excessive defending constitutes to illegal blocking.
  • Overtakes are expected to be done fairly and cleanly. Overtaking drivers are expected to use their better judgment to ascertain whether they have gained control of the racing line.
  • If contact is made that results in another car going off-track, the offending car is expected to surrender track position to the other car involved in the incident as soon as possible.
  • A car rejoining the track after going off-track must rejoin the track in a safe manner. Approaching cars will have the right of way over cars that are rejoining.
  • Heavily damaged cars are expected to stay off the racing line until they get back to the pits for repairs (for Heavy damage settings), or until the auto-repair completes (for Light damage settings). Cars coming around heavily damaged cars are expected to safely get around these cars.
  • Lapped cars are expected to give way to faster cars at the soonest possible opportunity and are not allowed to interfere with any on-track battles between faster cars. It is the responsibility of lapped cars to be aware of faster traffic coming through. Lapped cars deemed to have impeded faster traffic will be penalized.
  • Driving backwards on track is always strictly prohibited and results in an immediate disqualification and possible suspension from the series and/or the organization.
  • All cars are expected to be moving forward on track unless recovering from an incident.
  • Bump drafting is permitted on all tracks within reasonable circumstances.
  • Intentional or payback actions will be harshly penalized.
  • At least two tires must always be kept within track limits.
  • Generally, track limits are represented by either the white lines or the kerbs wherever present on track. However, these rules may be adjusted depending on the track and in doing so will be properly specified by the series organizer.
  • A car with two tires on the defined track limits is already considered having two tires off-track.
  • If a car gains an advantage by going over track limits, drivers are expected to reduce speed just enough to negate any potential advantage gained. Repeated instances of gaining an advantage by exceeding track limits results in a penalty.
  • Any overtake done by exceeding track limits is considered an illegal overtake and any offending are cars expected to immediately return the position(s) gained. The only exception to this rule is when the overtake is performed in avoidance of an accident that occurred ahead.
  • Crossing the white lines at pit entry and/or pit exit results in a penalty.
  • Causing a collision: 30s penalty
  • Illegal blocking: 10s penalty
  • Illegal overtake: 20s penalty
  • Unsafe rejoin on track: 15s penalty
  • Impeding faster traffic: 20s penalty
  • Gaining advantage by exceeding track limits: 15s penalty
  • Crossing Pit Entry line: 20s penalty
  • Crossing Pit Exit line: 20s penalty
  • Poor Driving Standards*
  • Unsportsmanlike Behavior*
*Penalties for Poor Driving Standards and Unsportsmanlike Behavior are at the discretion of IRS officials, and can range between several race suspensions or outright ban from the series and/or the organization.
  • Using the stock livery is prohibited.
  • Any livery that contains foul language, pornographic material, and/or political themes is not allowed. Interpretation of this rule is at the full discretion of IRS stewards.
  • Each car must use the mandatory number plates and font for their cars.
  • Number plates must be placed on both left and right side doors as well as the hood.
  • GT3 Class cars must use the Black windshield banner.
  • Cup Class cars must use the White windshield banner.
  • Teams are not required to have identical liveries between each car but all the team's cars must prominently display their primary sponsor.
