Following delay to season start, car selection has been extended by week.

Additional testing time has allowed Jaguar below to be added to group c. As a result the Audi Oreca is now included in its own right (previously only available in conjunction with factory R8)

Limit of 8 group c and 8 LMP cars maximum.

Any news on the sound bug fix?

(Tried to find a decent threat here on gtp but they all end up in trolling, hating, grammar correcting messes)

Final part of points scoring and performance balancing developed in conjunction with Doc.

This follows the modifications to ballast regulations and aims to balancing out the recent performance penalties for a podium finish (no soft tyres at start of race 2 and ballast for next race event) by awarding extra points based on a top-three finish.

• 9. Points System

Race 1 & 2

1st = 18pts
2nd = 16pts
3rd = 14pts
4th = 12pts
5th = 11pts
6th = 10pts
7th = 9pts
8th = 8pts
9th = 7pts

Procédure /regles de courses


Grille de depart


• Les courses seront effectuees à partir d'une grille de depart avec le pilote en pole position chargé de diriger le “peloton” pour un tour d’echauffement. Les pilotes devront attendre que le feu passe au vert avant de demarrer.

• Chaque pilote demarrera lorsque le pilote qualifié devant eux demarre. (Soyez prudent et respectueux du pilote et de la voiture devant vous).

• Les pilotes devant demarrer à l'arrière de la grille de depart doivent se positioner de maniere coherente au cours du tour d’ echauffement afin d’éviter tout incident.


Tour d’echauffement


• Les tours de d’echauffement doivent être effectues en une seule ligne/voie avec les pilotes les uns derriere les autres. Le pilote en tete doit maintenir un rythme constant et doit conduire à une vitesse moyenne de 100 miles par heure (du moment que ce ne soit pas dangereux)

• Aucun pilote ne doit effectuer une accélération excessive ou de freinage pendant le tour d’echauffement.

• Pendant le tour d’echauffement, un espace minimum de 1 longueur de voiture doit être maintenu en tout temps. Notez que ce n'est pas une distance maximum et les pilotes doivent éviter de rester trop loin derrière ou trop près de la voiture de devant.


Erreur de pilotage


• Tout pilote qui, en raison d'une erreur ,s'arrête ou quitte la piste, est responsable et doit rejoindre le tour d’echauffement en toute sécurité.

( meme si cela signifie qu’il doive attendre que la totalité des voitures soient passes).

• Le conducteur ne doit pas tenter de regagner sa position initiale.

• Si une erreur implique une importante quantité d'autres pilotes, la course pourra alors etre recommence depuis le debut, si les stewards Doc et Yo le juge necessaire. Lors du nouveau tour d’echauffement, le pilote ayant provoque l’incident se retrouvera place dernier dans la ligne de depart.


Départ de course - drapeau vert


• Chaque pilote doit * uniquement * commencer à accélérer a la vitesse de course lors du franchissement de la ligne de départ/arrivée.


Sanctions/Penalites


• Les pilotes qui n’auront pas suivi les regles stipulees (faux depart, conduite negligente, risques non fondes etc…) seront relegues a des positions inferieures ou seront penalises de 20 secondes (ajoutees a l’heure temps). Les juges/stewards prendront les decisions necessaires et appropriees selon la faute commise.
