Was not better 24 laps one lap each hour? like a real mini LeMans 24h day night.
Its a very good idea but 24 X 4 = 96 mins not including pit stops etc will that be too long for people?

You should be aware of that racing in practicemode and online is a uge difference. The physics are totally different. If you did a 4:24 in practicemode, I'll guess you online time is almost 10 seconds slower.
But with the slipstream I think you are able to keep up. Just remember, BRAKE EARLY when you are coming to a corner in big groups of cars. The slipstream gives you more speed and less downforce, so your brakingpoint will be much much further from the corner than usual! 👍

Race notification from the Stewards
To promote clean driving penalties will be given at this race
We havn't put the penalty system in concrete yet. we will use this race as learning so we will have a good system when the real championship starts. Penalties will generate time added to race time. How much and for what is not solidified yet, but we are looking to only penalize the bigger incidents, not small things.
The goal with the penalty system is to promote clean driving. It also has to be:
- Easy to understand
- Predictable in outcome
- Easy to manage by the Stewards
If you want to submit an incident for review:
- Send a PM to the stewards directly after the race with a description of the incident including your description, which lap and driver
- The stewards will send a PM to other driver and ask for his version
- If the driver in potential error admits, the penalty will be smaller
- If posting an incident on the forum, no penalty will be given
- Decision given by the stewards will be final and will not be debated
- You find the Stewards on one of the first posts
In case of collision between cars.
- The collision has to generate a clear impact on the race result to warrant a penalty, ie car damage or pushing car off track.
- We will hold the overtaking car highly responsible for clean overtaking
- At least 9 out of 10 times the car from behind will get the penalty
- The size of the penalty will depend on impact on race result
- As an example, if you hit a car and as a consequence it has to pit, the penalty will be at least 35 sec (time lost for pitstop)
Change side of track to defend
- A car in front has the right to change side of track once in defence to a car coming from behind
- This change has to take place well before the car behind aiming to overtake
- To change direction just as the overtaking car is breaking the slipstream to overtake is prohibited and will generate a penalty
Shortcutting the track:
- Only repetitve shortcutting in aim to reduce laptimes will warrant a penalty
- No penalties will be given for occational mistakes or when the driver obviously didn't gain any time by going outside of the track (see def on first page)

I think 15/16 min. more are ok..for all. Is it or not an endurance race?
I am up for 24 laps of La Sarthe.
I posted this earlier in the thread but got no response.

BTW: I'm going to start the race at 23.00 CET SHARP! I will not wait if someone have issues. If you know that you could run in to issues, make sure to try when the room opens, and try to sort things out in good time before the race. I will not restart the server either.
@ Sail IC, I'd like to suggest the starting point for you. If you go when you hear the "beep" from the 2.nd sector spli-time indicator, that would be the best. Cause if you start in the corner, it will be difficult to keep grid positions in the chicane. I know that not all cars will be thru the chicane either way, but by starting a little bit further in to the straight reduce slipstream a tad and also makes it easyer to maintain grid positions. Just a suggestion.. 👍

Masi has had the race start listed as 12pm PST/2100 CET for the past two weeks. I'll have to pull some strings to make the later start time (not because of the start time but because of the time when the race will end). Dont drop me yet, but I was just checking for clarification. Thanks.

I am in for the race today.
Official car for this race and the season:
Drum Roll
:
:
:
CALSONIC IMPUL GT-R, I call her "Ole Blue"
She has friend I use in the H-shifter league...Matte Black Lotus 111R I call her "Black Betty"
As well I am in for the longer race. To make 24hrs happen in 90minuted we need a multiplier of 16. . . This will cycle the 24hrs in 90 minutes...For a 2 hr race we need a multiplier of 12.

/\ Thank you sir. These time zones are really throwing me for a loop. I had trouble with US time zones, now I gotta get to know the worlds!!!
I like working off the GMT. Work so well for me. I just subtract 5hrs and that is my time here.

I'm just gonna go ahead and mirror this statement from Chorda. I'll be doing the same thing:

...and the Rolling Start Procedure
The start of the race will be somewhere right after the first chicane at Mulsane Straight - It depends on the Pole Driver - this will be on Lap 1!
- First, you must remember your Grid Spot (Super Lap Qualifying)
- Hold your positions when countdown reaches zero
- Pole sitter will make his way upfront!
- Cars must roll in a maintained pace of 55 mph / 90 kmh
- Sort your positions based on the Super Lap Results
- Field will roll double file (form two lines)
- Odd numbers will start on 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
- You must maintain a minimum of One car length between you and the car in-front (same lane)
- One car length is minimum, meaning it's up to you how large the gap will be
- You must always maintain visual contact with the car beside you
- You're bumper must not go pass the rear bumper of the car beside you
- You must wait for the car beside you to move forward before you floor it!
- No passing before the start finish line! Penalties will be strictly enforced for false starts, illegal passing, and overall aggressive driving!

I also wanted to get the time settings squared away.
I'm thinking of just setting the race time in game to mirror our real life race start time in the PST(14:00).
Time progression multiplier will be set to 16 as advised by OwensRacing
