ATTENDANCE
Due to the limited number of spaces in this series it is expected that drivers will:
a) Commit to the full series.
b) Give reasonable notice to the Race Director of a non-attendance. This will allow us to offer you place to a wildcard driver.
Failure to give reasonable notice (a “no-show’ without reason”will result in you losing your full time position in the race series and you will be placed on the wild card list. Your full time position may be offered to an alternative driver.
If you are unsure if you are able to commit to the full series, please connect us to discuss or please nominate yourself as a wildcard. This is to ensure that we are getting best possible participation rates, which means more exciting, closer racing for everyone.
LEAVING THE TRACK / UNABLE TO CONTINUE RACE
If you are unable to continue racing, please ensure that your park your car in a location that will not hinder other drivers. Please do not leave the track as you will still be subject to scrutineering at the end of the race.

In this championship we have assembled nine (9) of the world's most respected manufacturers to battle it out for the prestigious ORS GT title. Our vehicles include models from Audi, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ford, Nissan, Dodge, Chevrolet, Mercedes and McLaren.
Drivers must choose which vehicle they will run for the entire season. There is a two (2) driver per car limit, so make sure you get in early and choose wisely.
We highly recommend you try different cars in RACE-SPEC configuration before making your final decision. You have until 2030hrs AEST on the 7th April, 2013 to make your vehicle decision – 24 hours before the commencement of the first race on the 8th of April, 2013. All decisions must be finalised by this time.
When considering selection of your vehicle for the season, it is possible to reserve an initial car for testing. This may be of benefit if you have a particular favourite in mind but are not 100% sure on how it will perform against alternatives.
Please Note: you cannot reserve the car for longer than 48 hours from your initial reservation. You will need to advise us of this selection within this time window by posting on this forum. If you have not made a decision and advised us of your choice within the 48 hour selection window, the car you have reserved will become open for selection again for other competitors and you will need to choose a different model.
Tyre compound limits apply. Each tier has the following compounds available.
1x Racing Soft (entire season)
2x Racing Medium (per race)
3x Racing Hard (per race)
The following ORS tyre rules apply;
No mixing sets (i.e. RM front and RH rear)
Qualifying and Race start count as 1 sets used
You cannot change sets during qualifying
You must start the race on your qualifying tyre
Pit lane opens end of lap 4 for first tyre compound change
Pit lane closes with 5 laps to go for last tyre compound change
If you receive damage on a fresh set of tyres you are permitted to enter the pits to fix the damage without using a new set of the same compound provided it's within 4 laps of your last pit stop.
You must use all tyre compounds during a race
Special rules apply to the Racing Soft compound. You are restricted to only 1 set for the entire season. Therefore if you use a set of racing softs on round 2 you will not have any left for the remaining rounds as you have used up your softs for the season. This set of soft is to be used as a trump card if you will. It’s up to you when you want to use it. If you decide to use it during a race then it will replace 1 of the required compounds to be used during a race. For example: You start on mediums and decide to use your 1 set during the race. You will not be required to use the hard compound that race. The racing soft compound cannot be used as a qualifying tyre. Please ensure you familiarize yourself with these special rules.
Stewards will make a note of each driver’s tyres and penalties will be handed down if you fail to comply.
Penalties can vary from warnings, point deductions and to disqualifications.
Qualifying is held in 1 single 30 minute session Sunday night from 8:30pm (Sydney time). Drivers MUST state their tyre compound for qualifying/race start by 12pm Sunday (Sydney time) via posting in the forum or sending a PSN message to jasr73 and Oni_chan. Once you have submitted your tyre choice it cannot be changed.
Each Tier will go out in qualifying sessions together. Be ensure you give each participant has enough free track space to set their best qualifying time. If you are not on a hot lap ensure you do not become an obstruction to the driver behind. Using another drivers draft to increase your lap time is prohibited and will void your current lap and all previous laps.
In the event you cannot attend qualifying you will be required to start from the back of the grid on race night. You will not receive a penalty for missing qualifying scrutineering.
Scrutineering will be held before and after every qualifying session and race. All drivers must attend. If anyone fails scrutineering the will need to ensure appropriate adjustments are made their car to comply with ORS specifications. Penalties will apply if a driver fails scrutineering or fails to attend (leaves room before scrutineering). You will not receive a penalty for missing qualifying scrutineering if you could not attend the Sunday night qualifying session.
Once you enter the race room for qualifying/race you are prohibited from entering the tuning screen once scrutineering has commenced. If a driver enters the tuning screen whilst in the race room then they will need to go through scrutineering again which will delay the race for everyone. It is up to the driver to ensure their cars engine is fully run in to avoid failing scrutineering after each race. (i.e new cars will produce more horsepower after a race event which will fail scrutineering).
Scrutineering will work as follows;
➢ Drivers enter race room
➢ Host sets BHP/Weight limit for selected car
➢ Drivers enter the track in their nominated car
➢ Host then sets PP limit
➢ If drivers haven’t been removed from track then they have passed
➢ Repeat the above for all other cars/drivers
➢ Qualifying starts
➢ After qualifying scrutineering begins (repeat above steps)
➢ Race starts
➢ After race scrutineering begins (repeat above steps)
During the season there are 2 rounds called Sprint races. During a sprint race the ‘use all tyre’ compound rule does not apply during a single race. However all compounds must have been used by the end of all 3 races. The ‘start on qualifying tyre’ rule also applies.
Sprint rounds consist of 3 short races during the one session. The first race uses standard qualifying positions while race 2 & 3 will use reverse grid based on the previous race result.
Points obtained during a sprint round differ from the standard championship points. Out of the 3 races each driver must choose which race (1, 2 or 3) they drop points for. You can only obtain points from 2 of the 3 races.
Please note: if a driver decides to drop points from their lowest race result, any fastest laps or additional points scored during that race will also be dropped.
Ballast of 35kgs will be applied to any driver who finishes in first place and 25kgs to anyone who finishes in second place.
This ballast handicap will be subject to ongoing race results and will only be fixed for one round after it has been allocated.
For example if in a subsequent round, a driver succeeds in placing first again, they will incur an additional ballast handicap of 35kg bringing a total ballast handicap to a maximum total of 70kg. This is the maximum amount of ballast any driver can attract regardless of any first or second place results.
Sprint rounds differ from regular races as they have 3 races in the 1 round. In order to find out which driver comes 1st, 2nd or 3rd during a sprint round is to combine all 3 races total points and apply ballast to those that scored the highest, second highest and third highest points combined from all 3 races.
If in the following round a driver with ballast handicap fails to place in a top three position, they will have their entire accumulated ballast removed for the next race.
In addition, in the event that a driver wins a race by a margin of over 25 seconds to second place they may incur the maximum 70Kg ballast handicap for the next race, if they do not have already have the maximum handicap in place.
Regarding ballast and point penalties. In the event a driver received a podium result but then receive a penalty which reduced their overall points or position the ballast will be applied to the position or total points before the penalty was applied.
To summarize the changes to ballast see below:
➢ The maximum ballast that can be applied to a driver is 70kgs over the entire series.
➢ First place receives a 35kg ballast handicap fixed for the next race only
➢ Second place receives a 25kg ballast handicap fixed for the next race only
➢ In the event the margin between first and second place is over 25 seconds a 70kg ballast may be applied for the next race (subject to assessment of the race).
➢ Failing to score a podium with ballast applied will have your total ballast handicap removed
➢ Winning two races in a row will incur 70kg ballast handicap for the next race
➢ Placing second for two races in a row will incur a ballast handicap of 50kg for the next race
➢ Point penalties applied after a race will have no effect on the results of ballast applied to drivers

At the end of the season each driver will drop 1 race's total points from their overall total. A driver may only score points for 9 out of the 10 races. This means that drivers who miss a race due to work/family commitments can still battle for the championship. As in the past if a driver missed 1 race then they would not be able to fight for the championship podium as they are now to far behind in points. The round that gets dropped will lose all points scored during that race including fastest lap and podium position points.
In the event that more than 1 driver gains the most positions. The driver who scored the highest position at the end of the race will be awarded the points for most positions gained.
