Welcome to THE RUF CUP
The Ruf Cup will initially feature the RGT as the production based model. The only driving aid available will be ABS, and will use stock Sports Hard Tyres. Oil change is permitted (as is wheel & paint mods).
The racing will be held over 3 locations of 2 x 20 Minute races at each venue, Open qualification will be held for the first race, and then a reverse grid for the second. So 6 races in total, with 1 location (2 races) per week.
The first three rounds will be held at
1. Silverstone
2. Nurburgring
3. Spa Francorchamps
As you can see the these rounds make up the European tour of the Cup, should this enthusiast event gain popularity then the tour will continue around the globe, with the next stop being the Circuits of America, then moving across to the Far East, and concluding with and proposed 1hr endurance event in Australia.
The racing will be held on Sunday nights at around 9pm - 10pm BST, exact time will be tied down nearer the start. The plan is to kick of the first 2 rounds for the

Qualifying:
We will hold a 10 minute "open qualifying" session prior to the first race. We will not use the automated qualifier due to late arrivals not being able to join after the qualifier has begun. To begin qualifying I will reset the track to clear all times. Once the track has loaded the session will be under way and after 10 minutes I will start the race. After entering the track please do not exit to the lounge as you may lose any time you have set. Other cars will be on the track during qualifying so please be courteous and don't hold anyone up if they're on a flying lap. If you are satisfied with your time and wish to park it for the rest of the session, please drive into the pits and press the "start" button once (this will keep you in the pits until the race starts, as long as you don't hit start again).
Rules:
1. Drive as clean and respectful as possible. Try to avoid contact with fellow racers.
2. No hitting, ramming or corner cutting allowed.
3. Accidents do happen. If you knock someone off course you should slow and allow them to regain their position.
4. If there is any doubt as to whether you will be able to cleanly pull off a pass, wait till another corner.
5. NO DIVE-BOMBING (to the inside OR outside)
6. Bump drafting amongst the lead two cars is discouraged. Drivers should make the pass when possible and NOT work as a team to open a gap on the field. Make your pass and let the cards fall where they may. This ensures the drivers further back have a chance to catch up to the leaders if they should make a mistake. Drivers further back in the field are free to bump draft to catch up to the lead cars.
7. Drivers are expected to keep at least 2 wheels on the track/curbs at all times.
8. Blocking is not permitted. You get one move to choose your line and then you must hold it. You can not swerve back to your original line.
9. Rage quitting is frowned upon
10. Please keep chat box and mic chatter to a minimum during qualifying and racing.
11. And of course please follow the GTPlanet Online Rulesand The Good Racecraft Guide.
Penalties:
I am not here to penalize people for driving hard or driving passionately. I understand that while we all try our hardest to race cleanly, none of us are perfect, especially in the heat of the moment. That being said, I also expect everyone to learn from their mistakes and I'll do everything I can to help drivers improve their racecraft. If any driver shows repeated instances of gross negligence or overly aggressive driving I reserve the right to disqualify them from the event or the entire club. Any contact or incident that is deemed to have been intentional will likely result in immediate disqualification from any future events.
If this event is of interest to you please let me know, and I will put your name down. And remember to watch this thread, as there will no doubt be more details, questions and answer to come.
Thanks, Hobbsy
