Welcome to the World Endurance Championship,
Positions always availble
Round 3, 2 hrs 40 min of Spa, May 11th​

HOW THINGS WORK

Room will open between 8:30PM GMT and 9PM GMT Saturday evening, The room will be hosted by either myself TDZdave or Memto89,

LMP and GTE Multiclass event, 8 Cars per class, Races would last around an hour and 15 minutes too an hour 30 minutes, with 2 Endurance races, Lasting around 2 hours 30 minutes,

Qualifying, will be a 15 minute session followed by the race countdown timer for all circuits, Except Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans, In which will have a 20 minute qualifying followed by a 5 minute break for you to sort your food, fluid and bathroom commitments for an endurance event,
Also, The field will not be cleansed after qualifying, So if you are in an LMP car and have a horible run you cannot expect to be bumped up to the back of the LMP field, you will start where your qualifying time dictates,

Laps will be worked out to around the 1 hour 10 minute mark according to the LMP pole time, For Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans the laps will be sorted to the LMP pole time to the value of 2 hours 30 minutes,

Tires
Soft tires only, apart from intermediates and wets where required,

The Races, All races will have 1 full pace lap,
Changes to start procedure,
I am making changes to the starting procedure as of the replay's I have viewed on my profile and of youtube of rolling start event's that being on the front row is almost a hinderance so the following procedure will be used from Monza thoughout the season,
+) Cars will roll at pace speed around the circuit as usual, (Changes)
+) The leaders will slow pace to bunch the field up prior to the final turn of the warm up lap,
+) once the field is bunched the leaders will proceed through the final turn onto the front straight,
+) When the 2 lead cars are on the painted grid lines it is up to the pole winner to start the race, They can start the race from any point on the painted grid lines to the start line,
+) If they cross the start line and haven't gone then the race is green, their loss,

I'n summary, the pole winner dictactes the pace lap, at pace speed, They have to ensure the field is bunched up, (near as makes no difference as some drivers will tail back to ensure their own safety in turn 1, once the leader gets to the painted grid slots its their choice to go, if they get to the start line and haven't gone then the race will also go green,
(Bare in mind that these may change race to race, so suit the track we are racing on, these will be released in the driver's briefing one week out from the event,)

Overtaking and lapping,[/B] Be patient, overtaking points will come, You will never win the race on lap 1,
Lapping, GTE cars will be expected to maintain their line, It is up to their discretion to get out of an LMP cars way, "removing" them from the circuit will result in a penalty,

This is a championship, Points will only be awarded for top 5 only in each class, Bonus points maybe awarded for, Class Pole Position, class fastest lap, And class most laps led, and leading a lap at the start line,
Points are in this order
1st) 5
2nd) 4
3rd) 3
4th) 2
5th) 1
1 Point for pole and 1 for fastest lap of the race (Each category)
Double Points will be awarded for the two endurance races, You must complete 90% to claim any points,



Penalties will be dealt with accordingly per class steward, I TDZdave am the head steward, Memto89 is the LMP steward and Johnnyb is the GTE steward,
2) If an LMP causes a GTE car to spin or crash while lapping them, the LMP driver will either wait and allow the GTE driver to retake their position and get up to race speed before retaking them, Or have the time lost for the GTE car +2 seconds added to the final result time,
If you are not sure if you have recieved a penalty or warning from an event, They will be published at the bottom of the OP, they will be published by Monday evening after the race, If we have yet to come to a decision it will be published as TBD,
Corner Cutting Two wheels must remain on the black stuff at all times, (or kerbing) If it is deemed by us that you have been cutting corners you will be served a penalty pending how much it cut or how many times,
Also, Do not arrive in a "Hybrid" or "Hacked" vehicle, you will be removed on the spot! NO EXCEPTIONS!


THE CARS AND DRIVERS, There will only be one of each car,
These are always subject to change
In the event of a new driver/ 1 off appearance driver they may participate in any car not being used for that event,
All full time drivers will use the car they sign up in, unless they wish to drop back to GTE or elevate up to LMP,
Part time driver's are expected to use the vehicles they sign up for,
Any reserve drivers willing to participate on short notice must have access to most cars listed,
Vehicle rules, No additional turbo's or super chargers, Anyone caught using a Hacked/ Hybrid car will be promtly removed! DO NOT TEST MY PATIENT ON THIS!

Op updated,


2.4 HOURS OF SPA, May 4th
DRIVER'S BRIEFING

As it says in the OP the start here at Spa is going to be different, There will not be a full pace lap, Due to the lap of spa being quite long, We will go at the GT start line,
Start info,
Qualifying will be 20 minutes,
pace speed 40MPH,
Bunched not staggered double file,
The front row must be in the "pinch" section of the track before accelerating, (This is where the turn 1 run off ends and roughly where the GT pit wall starts, It gets really narrow,)
Room will be set to 70 laps,
weather will be at 25%
Track water 20%
Changability at 1,
(This is what it will be set to prior to qualifying,)
If the rain does come the race will be called at 2 hours 40 minutes if there is more then 4 laps remaining in the race,


Extended,

Please stop yourself from having the urge of using the text box once the race has started, regardless of it being a pace lap, or during the race, There were multiple accounts of this last race,

Pit exit lines must be adheared too, Multiple infringements there too,

Corner cutting, We expect cars to run wide at Turn 4, which can become a cut, this will be watched with a keen eye,

Running wide at other turns, This is also expected to happen, if your not running wide your not pushing, however, at any other corner if you run wide, you will be expected to return to the track over the astro turf before the rumble strip you have crossed ends, if this is not done there will be 5 second penalties for offences we see fit,

Eau Rouge, The difference in time at by the entry of turn 4 gained can be up to .800 a lap by cutting, 3 cuts gains a 10 second penalty,

Tires, Soft racing tires are prefered, but not mandatory, you may also use racing medium tires and when/ if the rain comes you can use either wet racing tire,

We also have some drivers ready to race this week, please notify us if you cannot make the event this week so we can adjust people to cars accordingly,

During qualifying please try not to impede another car on a flying lap whilst you are on a cool down or out lap, you are allowed to cut corners and run wide as to not impede, but if you are on a flying lap this is not expected of you, hold your line and go for your lap,

Also, fellow CRAPper's. This will overlap by a lot with the GT300 race, pending it not a bye week for Mother's day in australia, This is yet to be confirmed, Hopefully we will know this for sure shortly,

And can we get a role call happening, with the car that you are suppose to be driving, and at the power and weights you have been given if you have been re spec'd, This is so we know who to expect and I can adjust the OP,
