Driver Classifications
Different Tire compounds for each driver classification will be used to help equalize the pace of the driver talent levels.
Platinum Drivers:
-Upper 1/2 of Snail Driver's List or known pace from Season 1
-will use Racing Hard (RH) Tires
-BLACK painted mirrors and Spoiler winglets, and black Cup Challenge numberplate with white numbers
Gold Drivers:
-Lower 1/2 of Snail Driver's List or known pace from Season 1.
-will use Racing Medium (RM) Tires
-YELLOW painted mirrors and Spoiler Winglets,
and yellow Cup Challenge numberplates with black numbers
-Gold Classed driver pace on Race Medium tires should nearly match the Platinum Classed drivers field
What if the Snail Driver's List is an odd number of Divisions during driver placement/season start?
*Recently archived and current race data from the Snail Sunday night series will be used toward placement of active Split Division Snail drivers.
**New/Ex Snail drivers with limited or old data, and New NON-Snails will be required to run a control time trial for placement.
Drivers who are initially Classed as Platinum at the Season start will be reviewed in the first 2 events attended. If found to be struggling and/or are significantly off pace (more than 1 second/lap consistently), the Series Director will relegate the driver to the Gold Class)

New for Season 2 and evolved further for Season 3, will be a Success Ballast feature on top of the initial Platinum/Gold Driver Classing.
Details outlined below:
Platinum Driver Class Success Ballast Ladder
(+60kg/132lbs weight ADD Maximum under formula below, then +15kg/33lbs for every podium thereafter)
1st Place Overall for Event = +45kg/99lbs weight ADD
2nd Place Overall for Event = +30kg/66lbs weight ADD
3rd Place Overall for Event = +15kg/33lbs weight ADD
-15kg/-33lbs weight Removed
(For any event finish outside the top 8 for drivers with added ballast)
If a Platinum Class Driver manages continued success after the 60kg/132lbs weight maximum has been earned and applied, any overage will be duducted in hp percentage, and further deductions/penalty will be issued for each podium placement thereafter of -3%hp for 1st, -2%hp for 2nd, and -1%hp for 3rd. As mentioned above, at this point, if a driver has hp deducted as a handicap, any finish outside the top 8 would earn back 1%in hp. (Actual hp values will be verified and reflected on the BoP chart in post #2)
Gold Driver Class Success Ballast Ladder
(Weight ADD Maximum, approx 60kg/132lbs)
1st Place Overall for Event = +45kg/99lbs weight ADD
2nd Place Overall for Event = +30kg/66lbs weight ADD
3rd Place Overall for Event = +15kg/33lbs weight ADD
Once a Gold Driver has incurred ballast due to a successful result, that ballast is owned and will not be removed until the driver is promoted to the Platinum Class...You earned it, you own it.
If a Gold Class Driver manages a podium finish after the 60kg/132lbs weight ballast maximum has been earned and applied, the Driver will be promoted and graduate to the Platinum Class at base specs and required to use the Racing Hard tire compound for remaining events.
(Once a Gold Class driver is promoted to the Platinum Driver Class through their performance and success, they will stay there for the remainder of the season)
Drivers who are absent or do not complete both races of an event entered will not receive any reduction in accrued ballast
Drivers Returning for Season 3 will begin the season at the same Driver Classing they finished for Season 2, and all drivers will be cleared of any ballast accrued from Season 2.
Details outlined below:

After the 1 week rebuttle period has ended,(Monday 8pm of Race weekend to the following Monday at 8pm) the Chief Steward and/or any support stewards will review all incidents filed and submit a ruling in the respective incident group pm by 6pm Friday of the next race event.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD AN INCIDENT BE FILED OR DISCUSSED IN THE MAIN THREAD, IN RACE, OR THE INGAME LOBBY.

No Self Reported Incident Reports will be reviewed. It is up to each one of us racers to hold each other accountable for on track performance. If you feel strong enough that an incident should be filed on an offending driver, I encourage all drivers to do so at their discretion.

The Stewards will be utilizing the penalty guidelines set up and used within the Snail Spec Racing Series. Follow the link below for:
Penalty judging Guidlines
All Stewards are to review a replay of an incident in question and reply to the PM with their opinion as to what "Level" the incident falls under, and a recommended point value within selected level to deduct. Penalty Points may be halted if sufficient on track concession was shown, however, no penalties will be halved for self report.
Again, Self Reported incidents will not be reviewed
*The Chief Steward will make a final review of all incidents filed, taking into account any rebuttals and the other Steward's grading of the incidents and will make a final ruling for issuing penalty points.
*Please Note: If the Chief Steward deems, in any way, the lead driver lost control, and the chase driver attempts to brake or evade, but still makes contact, no penalty may be issued at the Chief Steward's discretion. *
At a 10 week season's end, the results sheet will be reviewed for each driver. All repeat offenders of the rules of this league will be reviewed by the Chief Steward and Steward Corp on a severity and case by case basis. If the review reflects a consistency or lack of improvement, the Chief Steward may recommend removal from the series by a peer to peer judgement .
Penalty points will be shown in the Overall Season Standings Scoresheet and will be deducted from the event score it was recieved and from following event scores until cleared.

). As the only Reserve so far to express interest in moving to a primary spot, the vacant primary grid spot is now yours. You can elect to accept the NGT Motorsport team seat vacated by Guido, or you can wait until after all current primaries chose and then decide on what is left available. Let me know. Also, what number would you like?
