Lobby will be opened between 8:15pm and 8:45pm and will be hosted by
@damonc84 (PSN: damon84c) , be sure to add him to you PSN friends list because the room will be set to friends only, if room is opened earlier or later I will notify everyone via a post in this thread. I will also have the a Party chat open via psn (mainly for room access if needed) I will also have a
Discord channel open as well for all race communications. Upon entry into the room please enter track as soon as possible so a visibility check can be done to ensure that there is no connectivity issues between racers. Once connectivity checks are completed we will start the event. For the new racers that will be competing with us for the first time be sure to read the Livery requirements in the OP, I will be checking prior to qualifying to make sure everyone's livery is compliant. If it is not compliant you will be asked to correct it before qualifying starts. For qualifying I will have the Track Limit penalty set to weak. For the the race I will have this turned off. Driving options will stay at no limit for the time being.
Results will be posted later tonight, yes a bit late this week, life beckons.
Also based on a reveiw of the incidents that happened in the 2nd heat race last week at Alsace, I will not hand down any penalties but giving a stern warning to all competitors to please race a little more careful in the next 2 rounds. I know we all are racing to get as many positions as possible and that being that this is a video game that there isn't any real consequence for bodily or equipment harm, but please race like there is. Close racing is fun, but its event more fun when we are racing close with little to no contact. So please lets be careful.
