Super Lap Qualifying (Rough Draft / Under Construction)

Qualifying will be held through live online sessions. Official days are Mondays and Wednesday at 12.00 pm PST / 08.00 pm GMT / 9.00 pm CET.
Any of the Stewards or capable hosts, under the supervision of a Steward/s, can announce and hold qualifying sessions of their own.
No qualifying sessions can be conducted after Wednesday. Qualifying will be on hard Racing Tyres.

Procedure

A group of drivers per class will be given 2 or 3 laps to set a qualifying lap.
Laps will be run in 'Race' and will depend on track size (eg. 3 for Monza)
Laps will be monitored and watched by fellow competitors to validate cleanliness.
The number of cars will depend on track size (eg. 8 drivers and 8 spectators at Monza)
Once the race has been commenced, cars will roll on their warm up lap
Cars must stagger a number seconds between each other to make room (15 seconds for Monza)
Standard '2 wheel on track at all times' rule apply (Check Post 3 for Racing Conduct 'Ch.IV Track Contact')
Once finished, spectators will declare if their competitor ran a clean or dirty lap
If a protest arise for a doubtful or dirty lap, the replay will be saved and checked
If confirmed dirty, a timed penalty will be imposed depending on severity of offense
The process will repeat until we reach the limit of available drivers (eg. 25 for each class)

________________________________________ ______________________________________

Setting Grid Positions on Race Day

We will set the grid by running a formation/parade lap. After the race countdown reaches zero, you must Hold your positions! Remember your
spot in the qualifying; as well as the person in-front of you and behind you. Follow the steps below!

First, you must remember your Grid Spot (Super Lap Qualifying)
Hold your positions when countdown reaches zero.
GT500 will make their way upfront and roll as a separate pack.
Cars must roll in a maintained pace of 55 mph / 90 kmh
They will sort their position based on the Super Lap Results.
Odd numbers will start to the inside lane relative to turn 1.
Even numbers will stay on the outside lane (Opposite side)
The Pole sitter will decide the Green Flag before the Finish line.
No passing before the finish line or you will be penalized.

The same procedure will be followed by the GT300
GT300 pack should be at least 10 seconds behind the GT500 pack.

Example of a Perfect Start below:

________________________________________ _______________________________________

Raceday

There will be 2 races held based on qualifying times on each Race day
Top 7 speeds on each class will be in Division 1
Next 7 speeds on each class will be in Division 2

Division 1

Top 7 Speeds - GT500
Top 7 Speeds - GT300

Division 2

8 - 14 Speeds - GT500
8 - 14 Speeds - GT300

Division 1 and Division 2 hosts will be announced after qualifying results
has been made official. Race day will be every Friday. Race time will be
tentative (around 9.00 pm GMT to 11.00 pm GMT).

Note

A replay of the whole race will be saved and reviewed by race stewards. Incidents
must be reported 24 hours after the race. Appropriate penalties will be applied and announced
along with the official results.

CODE OF RACING CONDUCT
Season Start (TBA)

I. Gentleman's Rule

Any GT300 car can use the entire width of the track, however, as soon as it is caught by a fast approaching GT500 car, the GT300 driver must hold its line and allow the faster car to go through at the first available opening. If for some reason the GT300 driver has been caught up in traffic and is unable to make full use of his mirrors and peripheral vision, the overtaking car will flash his high beam lights to indicate that he is about to overtake. A driver that chooses to ignore the signal multiple times will be reported to the Stewards.

II. Passing

Who has the right of way into a corner will depend on the positions of the cars. If an overtaking car is fully alongside its competitor, the rights to the corner goes to the overtaking driver. The car being overtaken must surrender the position and should not turn in to the other driver. Otherwise, if the overtaking driver is not fully alongside its competitor at the turn in point, the rights belong to the driver ahead, and it is the obligation of the car attempting to overtake to give the other driver room and do everything possible to prevent an incident. As we all know, peripheral vision is limited in Sim Racing so it is advised that you maximize the available resources we have, such as mirrors, track maps, and audio cues like engine and exhaust notes, to prevent incidents. Lastly, if incident does occur, the drivers involved must first try to resolve the issue between themselves privately or publicly. Otherwise, it is advised that you PM any of the Stewards.

III. Defensive Driving

Driving down a straight and placing your car off or opposite the driving line coming into a corner, forcing your opponent to take the outside line or a different line in general, is considered a reasonable strategy for defending your position. Depending on the situation, a driver can overtake the car in front of him, from either side of the car. However, moves that could possibly obstruct other drivers, like the change of direction more than 'once' to defend a position, deliberately squeezing the car beyond the edge of the track or any other unusual change of direction are strictly forbidden. This is considered illegal blocking and any driver found guilty of using such a method of driving would be reported to the Stewards.

IV. Track Contact

a) Drivers must always keep 2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
b) The edges of the track are marked with white lines and are considered to be a part of the track.
c) The Rumble Strips are part of the track; however, all surfaces with green paint, either beside it or be the rumbles themselves, are not part of the track
d) Do not hit any objects visible or invisible (eg. cones, barriers, walls, etc.)

In a situation where the driver goes off the track, and without prejudice to part (e) below, he may rejoin, only when it is safe and without gaining any advantage.
Also, if a driver unintentionally or intentionally leaves the track and gains a spot, he must relinquish that spot or he will be penalized.

e) Drivers committing serious mistakes repeatedly or seem to have a problem with keeping the car on the track would be reported to the Stewards and could result in penalties.

At any given time during the season, drivers are expected to follow these rules. Any driver who deliberately appears to break any of these rules to gain advantage at any stage in the race or the season could be penalized by the Stewards as in the case of 'Excistor' during the 2nd race of the preseason, when he deliberately collided with multiple cars, resulting into damaged cars and ruined races. 'Excistor' has now been banned from the series.

V. Driver's Reputation

Every week, drivers will be awarded or deducted points depending on their race conduct (Points will vary). This Rep system will be a good way of telling who's clean or dirty and who's patient or aggressive.

Points: (TBA)

------====== :gtplanet:

======------

PENALTY SYSTEM
Under Construction

Stewards have the power to impose various penalties on a driver if he commits an offence during a race. Offences include jumping the start, causing an avoidable accident, unfairly blocking another driver, impeding another driver when being lapped, or gaining an advantage by leaving the track.

Penalty: 25 seconds will be added to driver's total race time, which may drop him considerably in the final race standings.

In extreme cases the stewards may choose to enforce tougher penalties. They can drop a driver any number of grid positions at the next Race (so, for example, even if the driver in question goes on to qualify on pole, a five-place penalty would drop him to 6th). They can also impose time penalties, reprimand a driver, exclude him from the results, or suspend him from the next race.

masi, i have the replay ready but its 53MB...how can i attach it? my limit says only 1MB

Masi_23 · Jan 22, 2011

You can upload it to a host site.

Btw, please read Post 4

Imari · Jan 22, 2011

Do we need to choose our car now? I'm sure I'll be there, and I'm sure I'll be attending much more than 50% of the races, but I'm still unsure on which car (or even which class) I want to spend 11 races in.

Stevisiov · Jan 22, 2011

I am signing myself up. 👍

GTP_Sigma

I will hold off on the car choice until it's decided about the Lexus's tune level. With it stock, it's not really fast enough for the GT500, but with the Turbo it may be too fast, testing will tell soon.

It's either going to be the Denso Lexus or the Calsonic GT-R for me.

Masi_23 · Jan 22, 2011

You don't have to choose now. Whatever you use on Race 1 will be the one you will be using the whole season

State whatever you want for now, i can change it after Race 1.

Masi_23 · Jan 22, 2011

By the way, should we include the White Supra for GT500?

faqoldschool · Jan 22, 2011

I guess that can be on the testing list for this week. If no one can get it going substantially faster than the other cars I don't see why not.

I'll have a look at the HP and upgrade options for it later.

Masi_23 · Jan 22, 2011

faqoldschool

Does it include all the cars? Because they were mentioning invisible ghost cars. Like Sonic. He said he was in the race but he's not in the final results :odd:

How many cars started?

How many finished?

👍

Btw, ill put you in as a Steward if thats fine with you.

faqoldschool · Jan 22, 2011

11 started

not sure how many finished...i havent watched the whole thing through

sonic and african kat are both in there...i think they had invisible car issues

any ideas on how i can get the .zip to you...i cant watch the whole replay right now to give you more details...i have a few photos though

OwensRacing · Jan 22, 2011

Sonic was indeed in our race. IIRC Yellow RX7, fast too.

replay so really upsets me, my gut said to not leave the lobby till i came here.

OOOOH I did snap a results photo with my phone.

Masi_23 · Jan 22, 2011

@ faqoldschool - It is faster if you upload it online somewhere like zshare or something (Not sure where exactly since i don't do it myself) then post the link here
so i can download it (or maybe Andil can download it since he already has a template of the results table

) If you're not too busy, you can
just give me the data - similar to Andil's results table on D1.

Count everyone who started, disconnected during the race, quit during the race, and disconnected as you started the race

I'm in. Post 4 read. This time works really well for me, so I don't foresee any trouble.

OwensRacing · Jan 22, 2011

Sending it pc now. . . He is in my pic and def placed first in GT300.

faqoldschool · Jan 22, 2011

here's the link to the replay...let me know if it works

OwensRacing · Jan 22, 2011

I do know of a Calsonic GTR, but not sure where that car went....not Stigma's either this one I passed after a wreck.

b0ltzz_ · Jan 22, 2011

Man... this ghost bug is pretty retarded LOL. Can't believe I didn't see sonic the entire race or in replay. I have got to think it's something with jumping into a car just as the race starts and bugging out...as I didn't show him in a car when it began. We should test this out sometime.

Would be pretty bad to have happen in a seasonal race, although there are ways of confirming everyone sees the same amount of cars on the track I guess.
