Welcome to the official thread of Nukeshot Endurance Series: Season 6!
The Nukeshot Endurance Series (NES) is a multi-class racing league ran by Nukeshot Motorsport since 2017, featuring LM (Gr.1) & GT (Gr.3) category cars.
*A note to any GTPlanet admins that the Discord servers do NOT contain any event information that isn't available on this thread, and is for communication purposes only. Joining the servers are also strictly OPTIONAL, and NOT a requirement to participate. All of the necessary event information is contained within the opening posts of the thread, and therefore doesn't break thread guidelines.
The Nukeshot Endurance Series races on Sundays (See "Race Day Procedure" tab), and features 1 Preview round and 8 Championship rounds.
There are 2 car categories, up to 4 drivers championships, and up to 6 teams championships.
Teams are made up of 2 cars maximum (not including reserve drivers), and don't necessarily have to use the same car for both drivers although it's recommended.
Depending on whether we will get enough sign-ups to run 2 driver splits (Pro & Am), we will have the following championships:
*LM Pro Drivers Championship
*LM Am Drivers Chsmpionship
*GT Pro Drivers Championship
*GT Am Drivers Championship
*LM Pro Teams Championship
*LM Pro-Am Teams Championship
*LM Am Teams Championship
*GT Pro Teams Championship
*GT Pro-Am Teams Championship
*GT Am Teams Championship
These Championships will also be combined together in an "Overall" leaderboard.
Here is a link to the official guidebook document (Microsoft Word) of the Sim Racing Federation. This guidebook is to be referred to regarding racing etiquette and rules.
The Nukeshot Endurance Series will be using the "GT" Ruleset for all of its events, and SRF License Points will be up for grabs throughout the season with exception of the Preview Event.
The Nukeshot Endurance Series will be using the "Safety Car Procedures & Pace Laps" & "Multi-Class" supplementary sections for the set rules regarding each subject. The details of the system for Pace Laps and Safety Car Procedures can be found on this post under the "Race Day Procedures" tab.
Regarding "League Advisory Notes: 4";
*Track Limits: 2 wheels must be within the white line, or on kerb if present.
These track limits also apply to pit entry & exit solid lines.
*Bump drafting: Prohibited.
*Excessive weaving at a distance: Allowed (See "GT Ruleset: 6" for gap when weaving becomes prohibited).
*Exiting to the pits to repair damage in qualifying: Allowed.
*Minimum distance required to be classified: 75% for SRF License Points, and half championship points. Full championship points at 100%
Blue flags in our series can mean 2 different things:
*If being lapped by a car in a different category, you are to keep a predictable racing line. You do not need to leave your line or slow down to let the faster car past.
*If being lapped by a car in the same category, normal blue flag rules apply. You are to let by the car lapping you and not hold them up.
Also, a reminder not to type during the race or qualifying and use auto-drive functionality with exceptions of:
"MD" (Major/Mechanical Damage)
"ES" (Emergency Service)
(See "Race Day Procedures" -> "Incident/Safety Car Procedure" tab).
When needing to type while in the Safety Car queue, please pull over safely and apply the handbrake before typing so your car doesn't move. You will be allowed to retake your place in the queue if you lost any positions doing this.
Besides that, follow the instruction given by the Race Director.
Here is a list of the various Race Day Procedures that you should know:
All times are listed in BST (UTC + 1H) (As the clocks change on October 31st, the final round (La Sarthe) will be using GMT (UTC + 0))
19:15: Lobby opens. Gathering/warm-up period begins.
19:40: GT qualifying begins. 10 minutes to set laptimes.
19:50: GT qualifying ends. Results saved. LM qualifying begins. 10 minutes to set laptimes.
20:00: LM qualifying ends. Results saved. Break period begins and grid order is set.
20:10: Race starts and lasts for approximately 1 hour.
21:10: Race finishes. Replay data saved. Incidents to be reported by DM to a Moderator. Session ends.
The 2 categories (LM & GT) will be seperated into 2 10 minute sessions. GT qualifying goes first, followed by LM qualifying.
After the 10 minutes in a qualifying session are up, everyone on track should either finish their lap if they are on one, or park up in a safe place after the first track sector marker. A screenshot of the live timing will be taken after all cars have finished their final lap.
Cars will be permitted to change tyre compound between qualifying and the race after the screenshot has been taken.
The Nukeshot Endurance Series uses a Manual Rolling Start procedure. There is only 1 formation lap.
*If any cars are stuck on the grid on the first start attempt, the Race Director will call for a Red Flag and a restart. There will be no Red Flag on the 2nd attempt, and stuck drivers will be classed as a DNS
*All cars are to be single-file from driving off of the grid.
*LM category at 62mph (100km/h).
*GT category at 50mph (80km/h).
*There is to be a minimum gap of 2 car lengths between cars on the formation lap before going double-file.
*Weaving, accelerating and braking should be smooth, safe and predictable.
*Cars go double-file in the final sector.
*Weaving to stop
*Odd numbers (1, 3, 5 etc) line up on the side closest to the pit wall.
*Even numbers (2, 4, 6 etc) line up on the side furthest from the pit wall.
*Leader of the category controls the start, and can start accelerating as soon as they are within the designated start zone shown on the track maps in the "Race Calendar" tab.
*No overtaking before the timing line.
*No dropping back to get a jump at the start.
The Nukeshot Endurance Series uses a Safety Car procedure. Here are the details:
*Drivers are to type "MD" (Major/Mechanical Damage) in the lobby chat if they are involved in a multiple car incident (2 or more).
For a Safety Car to be called by the race director, the incident must meet the following criteria:
*A car leaves the circuit, significantly drops speed, or stops in a dangerous part of the circuit.
*The cars pick up 3 damage points between them (1 point per aero & suspension, 2 points for engine).
*The Race Director will review the incident to see if it meets the criteria, and will either type "Still Green" or "SC, Pits Closed" (SC = Safety Car).
*The leader of the race (LM Category) will then slow down safely to 62mph (100km/h) and act as the Safety Car.
*Pits are closed.
*No overtaking.
*Minimum gap of 2 car lengths between cars.
*Cars catching up to the Safety Car are not restricted by a speed limit, but should drive safely and within the limits of control.
*Weaving, accelerating and braking should be smooth, safe and predictable.
*The Race Director will indicate any cars that should overtake the Safety Car to gain a lap back.
*Any cars that are damaged or critical on fuel and can't drive another lap can type "ES" (Emergency Service) in the chat after stopping off of the track with the handbrake on to type. The Race Director will then message back granting authorization to enter the closed pits.
Under Emergency Service conditions, you are allowed to do the following:
*Repair damage
*Add fuel up to the 10% mark (5% lenience or penalty)
You are not allowed to change tyres. If you do so, then you will be given a penalty.
*Once everyone has caught up to the Safety Car, the Race Director will type "Pits Open" to open the pits. Both categories are allowed to pit at the same time. Cars are to stay in their positions after exiting the pits.
*The Race Director will then when safe to do so, type "LM pass GT" for the LM cars to pass any GT cars that are ahead of them in the Safety Car queue. No weaving is to take place during this process, and the GT's should yield their position to the LM's.
*Once the Race Director is happy with the order, they will type "SC End This Lap". Everyone is to maintain the 2 car length gap until the final sector before the restart point, where you can close up safely, and remain single-file for the restart.
*Overall leader of the race controls the start, and can start accelerating as soon as they are within the designated restart zone shown on the track maps in the "Race Calendar" tab. This restart zone is different from the start zone at La Sarthe.
If involved in an incident on track, report the incident via DM to one of the Moderators listed on post #1 of this GTPlanet thread as soon as possible after the race. In your post you should include the following information:
*Drivers involved
*Lap number
*Track sector number (or specific corner if possible)
*Accusation (e.g. "Hitting me off the track")
Once your report has been sent, the Moderators will review the incident based on replay data. A decision will be reached based on the rules on this thread, and the SRF Official Guidebook.
To remove any basis of an accusation of bias, Moderators that were directly involved, or whos teammate was involved, will not be a part of the final judgement/penalty process.
If either party does not think the ruling is fair, they can submit a protest. This would mean that the incident also gets reviewed by the SRF Stewarding Group.
The types of penalties we use in the NES include:
*Championship points deductions
*Post-race time penalties
*Position swaps (when appropriate)
*Race bans
*Championship exclusions
Depending on incident severity, points will also be deducted from drivers' SRF License Points (see SRF Official Guidebook if you want more info on the License system)
Here is the Race Calendar for Nukeshot Endurance Series Season 6.
*In the event of there only being 1 driver split, races will be held on the Pro Split dates only.
Track map red lines indicate the designated start/restart zone. If there is just 1 line going across the track, rather than 2 with the track itself red in between, that indicates the timing line being crossed by the leader as the start/restart point. La Sarthe has a seperate restart point to its start point, which is indicated by a blue line on the track map. That is the Sector 2 in-game timing point.

*Full championship points to be awarded to cars that finish the race
*Half championship points to be awarded to cars that complete more than 75% race distance if the cause of the DNF was not a ragequit.
*The positions awarded in the situation of multiple DNF's will be based on distance completion.
*Ragequits under any circumstances are not eligible for championship points, and will result in -3 SRF License Points.
*Championship points are not to be confused with SRF License Points. For more information on SRF License Points, please read the "SRF License System" section of the SRF Official Guidebook.
Ballast System
*Ballast Points (BP) are taken from the previous 4 races. Race 5 BP is made up of R1, R2, R3 & R4 added up. After race 5, the Ballast Points from race 1 are removed. After race 6, the Ballast Points from race 2 are removed etc. All Ballast Points are removed for the final race.
Here is how the Ballast Point (BP) system works:
+1% weight = 1BP
-1% power = 3BP
Weight ballast is prioritized over power reduction.
If a car earns more BP than its maximum weight allows, then a simple calculation of BP is shared with a power reduction.
E.g. A car has max weight ballast of 8%
Car finishes 1st, 1st, 1st & 3rd (10BP total)
The ballast = +7% weight (7BP) & -1% power (3BP)
Liveries for the Nukeshot Endurance Series should not contain the following:
*Foul language
*Pornographic content
*Political themes
*Racial themes
*Sexual themes
*Religious themes
Liveries for the LM category must contain the following:
You may also wish to use your appropriate SRF License Decal. Make sure you check the "SRF's License System Center" document to find your current ranking. The document can be found on the SRF official Discord server linked in post #1 of this thread, and pinned on the #main-notice-board channel.
If you are brand new to SRF competition, you will start at the "Amateur/AM" rank.
All liveries are to go through the following process for media purposes:
Liveries are also to be uploaded by the user to their GT Sport profile where it can be downloaded and used for media purposes.
Livery Week/Fortnight is a tradition of the NES where competitors create special one-off designs and have them featured in a contest. We encourage you to let your creativity shine and make something that will look fantastic! A poll will be put up to decide 2 winners:
*Best in LM
*Best in GT
Livery Week/Fortnight this season takes place at Round 5, at Fuji Speedway!
So you think you're ready to sign up? That's great! Here's what you need to know:
Before signing up, first you need to see whether the entry list is open. You can check that in post #3 of this GTPlanet thread. Once you've made sure the entry list is open, you can go to the "Car Availability List" tab on post #3 to see what cars are available for you to enter with in whichever category you decide to go with (LM or GT).
Once you've done that, you're ready to make an entry post! Your entry post should be made in the following sign-up format:
PSN Username: Racing Number: Driver Rating: Sportsmanship Rating: Category: Team Name: Car: Tyre Manufacturer:
Here's an example of what a finished entry post looks like:
PSN Username: Generic_Username Racing Number: #1 Driver Rating: B Sportsmanship Rating: S Category: GT Team Name: Generic Racing Team Car: Alfa Romeo 4C Tyre Manufacturer: Michelin
Once your post is made, I will process it and add your entry to the list. Don't worry if we are already at maximum capacity by the time you have signed up, as entries that get put in our reserve list have a good chance of being called upon to race if anyone else can't make it.
A word of warning. If you choose to change cars mid-season (after Round 1), your championship points up to that point will be halved, with exception of joining another established team.
After all of that is done, you're officially a part of SRF Nukeshot Endurance Series Season 6! We will keep you informed of things such as your Placement Test if it's needed.
The Placement Test is our way of measuring drivers' ability to make sure you're in the right driver split (Pro or Am) in the event of 2 splits being formed.
The test is spread across 2 circuits:
*Autodrome Lago Maggiore
(18:15 Sunny)
*Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
(10:30 Fine Weather)
You will drive 1 outlap and 4× hot laps on Soft compound tyres at each track, using the same lobby settings as our actual races but without:
*Mechanical damage.
*Tyre wear.
*Fuel depletion.
*Track limit penalties (will be viewed manually).
A Moderator from the NES will be hosting the lobby, and will use optimal laptime data during your hot laps to see where you are at in terms of pace. After those needing to complete a placement test have done so, we will announce who goes to what split.
Which split you are in also determines what weeks you are racing.
Pro split races every odd week (1, 3, 5 etc).
Am split races every even week (2, 4, 6 etc).
All races will be held on Sundays following the exact same Race Day Schedule that can be found in the tab labelled "Race Day Schedule" so any scheduling conflicts should be kept to a minimum no matter which split you end up in.

Given that de-luck4 was caught up in Barracuda's rejoin, we cannot fault the actions of TSR_Swablu & Fred_dude for passing them at the time. However given de-luck4 didn't stop, leave the circuit, or spin out, they would of had the right to retake the positions lost automatically. An example of this was when Groot overtook Y_bearr at the same section, but Y_bearr drove back past to retake their position. Given we can't fault the actions of TSR_Swablu and Fred_dude, there will be no further action.
SvanderSpek & GTO250GTO, Lap 2 Oi Junction: -3pts to SvanderSpek for causing a collision.
No incidents or penalties.

Well, that pretty much concludes the sign-ups from day 1.
18 entries so far, and 17 within the first 26 minutes. That makes it a new NES record! Thanks so much for your support so far.
For those who perhaps have signed up as single car entries, can I perhaps encourage you to ask around with your friends to see if they would like to team up. You'll certainly have more fun, and a far better chance in the Teams Championship!
Going by our new record time set for the amount of entries, it's best for you to get friends involved sooner rather than later as we'll have a limited amount of full-time entry spaces left!

So last night at 0:17 AM I received the entry post from matcreonlucozade via PSN. All that needed confirmation was the team he was going to drive for, so I listed it as "TBC" and added them to the entry list. They took spot 11 of 12 in the LM category, leaving only 1 more full-time spot left.
Then at 8:29AM@Elusion428 signed up with their teammate Groot. Given that at this point there was only 1 full-time LM category spot left, Groot will be placed in the reserve list as their entry information was listed 2nd, unless you as a team decide otherwise. You have 3 options:
*you both stay in the LM category with one of you as a reserve.
*the driver that would become the reserve goes to the GT category, while the other stays in LM (Would have to be classed as 2 single-car entries in the Teams Championship with both being in different categories).
*you could both move to the GT category so both of you can have full-time spots, and still remain as teammates.
The choice is yours.
@Sailor3101 you signed up at 9:52AM. As the situation currently is, you would be entry 14 of 12, and therefore be the 2nd reserve. Depending on if Elusion & Groot both make a switch to the GT category, that would mean you'd become the final full-time LM entry at 12/12, but otherwise you can either stay as an LM reserve, or make the switch to the GT category yourself. In your situation you should wait to see what Elusion & Groot do first.
At 10:18AM@gugas99 submitted an entry post on GTPlanet for matcreonlucozade, but as stated before in this message, matcreon messaged me on PSN at 0:17AM with their entry info, which means although Gugas signed them up after to confirm the team they're with, I will go by the PSN message time. That means they signed up ahead of Elusion, Groot & Sailor and take spot 11 of 12 in the LM category.
So the order of sign-up priority based on when entry posts were made is:
11/12: matcreonlucozade (0:17AM)
12/12: Elusion_428 (8:29AM)
13/12: AXR_Groot-89 (8:29AM)
14/12: OllyPolly02 [Sailor] (9:52AM)
Apologies if that got a bit confuzing, but I've done my best to explain the situation. Please keep me updated on what you plan to do.
And just to add more clarification
Apple (Zokeo) sent me a message right after matcreonlucozade sent his entry asking if I want him in my team, bc I made a post on discord asking if someone was interested.
With that the 1st thing I did today was confirming him as my teammate.
What Zokeo is saying is that you can submit your entry as TBC and then confirm your entry/team without losing his spot order
