Entry lists updated. @Sem Vettel You can view the times for each part of raceday in the "Race Day Procedure" tab on post #3 (Rules, Regulations & General Info)
as is the way with Saint Croix I will be running the newest car around the Mclaren F1 GTR '95 hopefully after a couple early runs this is a far more stable platform and I'll last more than a lap and a half, I'll take being a reserve if we already got a bunch of entrants

As it's made a very convenient return to the game recently, I'll now be using my ACTUAL Season 1 Teams Championship winning car, the McLaren F1 GTR, for The NES Classic!
The entry lists and results for the Nürburgring 1 Hour have been updated.
Congratulations to @Schosse on becoming our new 'Ring King! Your victory is now recorded in The NES Archives!
Congratulations to @Neyrox for setting the new lap record for the Nürburgring 24h Layout! This too is now recorded in The NES Archives!
And congratulations to all of our finishers of what was an absolutely epic race!
I regret to inform you that the GRM-Nismo deal has fallen through. Currently we at GRM are scrambling to find another deal for the Sainte-Croix 1 Hour. More information will be released to the media soon.

Please consider my following request; The Toyota Supra RC on my Toyota vs. Porsche entry should be changed to reflect my title sponsor and team. The car I am driving is a Toyota Z4 RC, as BMW has provided many important internal parts for the Supra road car.
18:15: Lobby opens. Gathering/Warm-up period begins.
18:40: Qualifying begins. Reserves are contacted if spaces exist after the gathering period.
Type 1:
For the events taking place at Circuit de la Sarthe and Nürburgring:
*Nürburgring 1 Hour
*Porsche vs Toyota
*The NES Classic
A standard 20 minute qualifying session will be used.
Type 2:
For all other events:
*Sainte-Croix 1 Hour
*NES Eco Challenge
*Mountain King Challenge
*Desert Duel Challenge
Cars will go out in groups of 5, and will have 1 outlap and 1 qualifying lap. After their qualifying lap is completed, they will be asked to park off track past sector 1. They will not be allowed to leave the track.
The "Flag Rules" setting will be switched to "Off" when using this procedure, but will be switched back on for the race.
19:00: Qualifying ends. Checks are made on PSN, GTPlanet and Discord for anyone running late. Competitors get a short break during this.
19:10: Race starts.
After Race: Race finishes. Incidents can be reported. Session ends.
Track limits are 2 wheels on track or kerb. Shortcut penalties being set to "Weak" will help enforce this.
As a general rule, we encourage all competitors to drive as clean and fair as possible.
Squeezing another driver's racing line is allowed UNLESS contact is made or they get squeezed off the track completely. The offender in the incident will always be the driver switching lanes.
Any attempts of excessive blocking is looked down upon.
In the case of the "Porsche vs Toyota" special event, the GTE cars are encouraged to hold a predictable racing line when being lapped, and the LMP cars should wait for a safe spot to overtake them even if it costs them time to do so. The "blue flag" warning given to the GTE cars is only there to indicate when an LMP is approaching.
Start Type: Grid Start with False Start Check (Manual Rolling Start for the "Porsche vs Toyota" special event.)
For the manual rolling start, everyone must stay single file in the order that they qualified in.
The LMP category drives at 62 MPH (100KM/H)
The GTE category drives at 50 MPH (80KM/H)
On the straight leading up to the final 2 chicanes, change from single file to double file.
Odd numbers (1st, 3rd, 5th etc) stay on the side closest to the pit wall (Right side).
Even numbers (2nd, 4th, 6th etc) stay on the side furthest from the pit wall (Left side).
Make sure to leave enough space to avoid crashing.
The race leader starts accelerating as soon as they pass the timing line.
No overtaking is allowed before the timing line.
Acceleration and braking should be smooth and steady. Always be aware of how close the driver behind you is, and remain approximately 2 car lengths behind the car ahead until the switch to double file.
Weaving to warm up the tyres is allowed, but not after the switch to double file.
Boost: Off.
Slipstream Strength: Real.
Visible Damage: On.
Mechanical Damage: Heavy (Light for Nürburgring 1 Hour).
Tyre Wear: 3x (1x for Nürburgring 1 Hour qualifying)(1x for NES Eco Challenge).

Initial Fuel: Default.
Grip Reduction: Real.
Race Finish Delay: 180 Seconds.

DNF's still count towards points for the teams.
Liveries must not contain foul language, pornographic content, political themes, racial themes, sexual themes or religious themes.
For the "Nürburgring 1 Hour" special event, liveries are required to use 1 of the 2 types of N24H number boards, and the font. It doesn't matter where you find them, as long as they look like they do in the image below: View attachment 791941
Links to the ones I use:
For all other events, there are no number board/font restrictions, besides that the car must have a number located somewhere on both sides.
For the "NES Eco Challenge" special event, liveries are encouraged to have a green/eco friendly theme, such as the example below: View attachment 798222
For "The NES Classic" special event, liveries should be based on, or reimagined from cars of previous seasons (preferably Seasons 1 & 2), such as the ones in the images below. View attachment 791944 View attachment 791945
If you would like my help, or would like to use one of my reimagined replicas, please contact me!
No foul language.
No using the text chat or PSN group chat during a race, as it can distract drivers. If you need to contact me at these times, please message me directly through PSN and I will respond as soon as I can.
Your registration for any of the events should be formatted as the following example:
Event: Nürburgring 1 Hour
PSN ID: Username #0
Team Name: Generic Racing Team
Car: Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.3
Tyre Manufacturer: Michelin
If you want to enter multiple events, then you'll need to make multiple entry posts and seperate them with a paragraph.
For the "Porsche vs Toyota" event, make sure to check the entry list to see what cars are still available.
Sorry for not posting sooner. We have 30 minutes until the lobby goes up for the Sainte-Croix 1 Hour. If everyone could confirm their presence/absence it would be appreciated! Same goes for Reserves if they are on standby or not.
On a side note, that's the most jumbled up entry post I've ever seen @Jeremy Dimos
