For those familiar with Virtual Reality Racing, VRR currently host a mildly successful Super GT Series. Personally, I've become quite fond of turning street cars into their racing counterparts and I've always wanted to do something sprint related. This series, as a result, will serve as a spiritual support series to the VRR Super GT Series.

Technical Regulations
1) All cars must be equipped with flat floors, custom rear wings that can be painted, and aero kits.
2) All custom rear wings must be proportional to the car. Both the width and height need to be set to 0.
3) All custom rear wings need to be equipped with the option D rear wing. Wing mounts, winglets, and wing color can be whatever the driver prefers.
4) For round 10, the rear wings of the drivers in the championship hunt need to be Chrome Gold to code who the finalists are.
5) Outside of TR I.4, chrome paint is not allowed to be used by any of the competitors. This is to avoid possible cases of screen blinding in dusk or night light conditions.
6) All cars are allowed to be equipped with a nitrous kit. This is to be used solely as a Push to Pass mechanism. Drivers are not permitted to use the Push to Pass in qualifying or as a defensive mechanism. Discoveries in this happening will result in drivers not being permitted to have the kit at all for the following event.
7) FR cars are limited to 600 performance points, while AWD cars are limited to 595 performance points and MR cars are limited to 590 performance points.
8) Each competing driver must lock in a formula that they will use for the duration of the season. The formulas can not be changed. If a formula is changed, that driver will have a pit lane stop and go penalty to fulfill in that race.
  • 8a) Formulas are comprised of a horsepower limit and a weight limit. Each formula must match up to the performance point limit that car is classified under.
9) Drivers utilizing the same car may use the same formula. However, those drivers cannot change their formulas in the same race. Drivers found breaking this rule will be considered Not Classified and receive no points from that event. If there is a dispute over who has the ability to change their formulas, it will be first allowed to the driver with the lower points total.
10) All assists outside of ABS will be disabled for the series.
11) Racing medium tires will be the only tires permissable for use in the series. All drivers are responsible for ensuring they have weather tires in the event that weather does affect the race event.
1) All cars must have a fully customizable transmission, fully customizable suspension, full drivetrain options, and racing brakes that can be adjusted how drivers deem suitable.
2) Once drivers have found a formula and registered that formula, power and weight settings cannot be changed without receiving a pit lane stop and go penalty.
3) In the event that tire compund changes arise, all four tires on a driver's car must be of the same compound. Drivers can not create hybrid tire settings such as medium dry tires on the front and intermediates on the rear. This will be punishable by disqualification.
Sporting Regulations
1) Each event will be held on Fridays before all VRR Super GT events and an extra points round during an off week for the VRR Super GT Series.
2) All events will run at the same venues used for the VRR Super GT Series except for that extra event.
3) Each event will start with a 30 minute session to allow drivers the opportunity to tune their cars. This starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.
4) Following practice is a 15 minute drivers meeting, in which track rules are covered by the event organizer. This takes place at 7:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time.
5) At 7:15 p.m. Eastern U.S. time, a 15 minute qualifying event will be held to determine the starting grid for the race event.
6) Each race will begin from a Grid Start with False Start Check at 7:30 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. Each race is a 30 minute timed race.
1) Each race room will be setup with the event type of [Practice]-[Qualifier]-[Endurance Race].
2) The race quality will be set to very high while voice chat quality will be set to standard.
3) Depending on the venue will depend on the track settings. Before each event, the weather and time of each venue will be researched to make it as accurate and realistic as possible. It will be at the responsibility of each driver to check the room settings for details and weather plans.
4) All of the racing settings will be set to the most realistic settings available, with boost, and penalty turned off, fuel consumption and tire wear set to normal, grip in off track surfaces and slipstream strength set to real.
1) In the instance that a driver is known to have connection issues, or if an uncommon issue suddenly arises, that driver will be asked to reset his/her internet router to clear the issue. The series will wait for that driver to return to ensure the problem is fixed before continuing with the event.
2) In the circumstance that a driver has not been able to resolve the issue, the series will instruct that driver to sit out the event and give clemency to that driver and award that driver with points for the last classified finishing position.
1) Championship points for each event will be scored as the following: 1st-20, 2nd-17, 3rd-14, 4th-13, 5th-12, 6th-11, 7th-10, 8th-9, 9th-8, 10th-7, 11th-6, 12th-5, 13th-4, 14th-3, 15th-2, 16th-1
2) Drivers that quit an event under their own control will be counted as a Not Classified and will not be awarded points in the event.
1) Each race meeting is intended to be clean and fast paced.
2) Races will not be delayed unless there is fair warning that a driver will need extra time. Fair warning would have to be at a minimum of 6 hours before the start of scheduled practice.
3) If a delay is approved, practice will just be extended until that driver arrives. A delay can only be applied if it is under 30 minutes in length. If a delay reaches 30 extra minutes, then regular racing procedure begins.
4) During practice, drivers can use the Push to Pass system wherever they want to test out ideal overtaking locations.
5) In qualifying, the use of Push to Pass is prohibited. The theory of Merit Code will apply here as there is no easy way of policing this. If drivers are known to have done so, they will not be able to use the Push to Pass system at all in their next race.
6) In the race itself, Push to Pass can only be used to overtake someone. The term overtake applies to clearing the defending car. Once that defending car has been cleared to where a single file line can be applied, that car then can use Push to Pass to retake the position. Using the system as a defensive mechanism can warrent a disqualification.
7) All entered drivers must attend the pre race drivers meeting. The race organizer will go over all track specific rules and answer any questions that may apply.
8) The official race results to each race will be posted on the same night as the VRR Super GT event, which is usually the Sunday night directly after. Any delays will be made public before that time.
 
@DcrRaikkonen @Cole Brown @NinjaEvo @Peelster1 @Whitetail Thread is up in draft form as work continues.
I am very excited for this, it seems as if my skill has begun to swing more towards road course driving, possibly from real life driving. I'll be looking forward to this series. When can we register a car and number?

Edit 1:Correction, appears as I have already done so..lol

Edit 2: Just realized I may not be able to make the first two race, because I'll be on vacation.

What the currently registered drivers need to do now is work on a formula.
 
Adding more of the sporting regulations hopefully tomorrow. Also, I plan on running a bit of a test after Super GT practice on Friday night at Spa.
