Qualifying Deadline: Friday 02.00 am CET / 01.00 am GMT and Thursday 20.00 pm EST / 17.00 PM (PST). The deadlines are Fridays (GMT/CET) and Thursdays (PST/EST) same week as race is held. Around 20 hours prior the race to give organizers
time to sort the grid, view replays find hosts e.t.c. Under no circumstance can a Qualifying lap be run after the deadline has passed.
Any of the Stewards or Capable Hosts, under the supervision of a Steward/Capable Host, can announce and hold qualifying sessions of their own.
No qualifying sessions can be conducted after Thursday (Friday, depending on time zone). Qualifying will be on hard Racing Tyres.
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!
DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH!. Remember your
spot from the qualifying results; as well as the person in-front of you and behind you.
Same class:
Cars move from the grid
ONE by ONE. The Pole car drives up and parks about 100 m (300 ft) a head. (
WHILE DOING SO, THE OTHER CARS DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH). When he pass the start-line, the next driver can move up, and so on. When all cars are in the correct position and are
NOT moving, the pole car starts the formation lap.
Mixed class
GT300's will sort their grid positions first. While GT300's sort their grid, GT500's
DO NOT MOVE.
GT300 cars move from the grid
ONE by ONE. The Pole car drives up and parks about 100 m (300 ft) a head. (
WHILE DOING SO, THE OTHER CARS DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH). When he pass the start-line, the next driver can move up, and so on. When all cars are in the correct position and are
NOT moving, the pole car starts the firs of two formation laps. When the first lap is comleted, make sure to pass the parked GT500 pack with caution.
From here on, GT300's lead the formation lap, with GT500's about 60 seconds behind.
We use this procedure to make sure all cars got a decent chance at completing the race before the timer (max 180 sec) runs out. By doing like this, we also get final times for (hopefully) all cars. And penalties will be much easier to hand out.
With this in mind, follow the steps below:
- First, you must remember your Grid Spot (Super Lap Qualifying)
- Hold your positions when countdown reaches zero.
- Cars will make their way ONE BY ONE upfront and roll as a separate pack.
- Cars must roll in a maintained pace of 55 mph / 90 kmh
- Field will roll double file (Single file for the Nurburgring 24h race)
- 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, doing so can be viewed as a false start and a penalty can come as a result.
- You must wait for the car beside you to accelarate before you do!
- No passing before the start finish line! Penalties will be strictly enforced for false starts, illegal passing, and overall aggressive driving!
IMPORTANT: In case of a disonnect during the formationlap, the cars behind have to maintain their position, and can
NOT move up the grid. Doing so can result in a penalty for breach of "jump start".
Diagram of an ideal rolling pack
Real Life Example of a Rolling Start:
Raceday
Mixed Class: There will be 2 races held which will be split into two rooms. Each race/grid
will consist of Seven GT500 cars and seven GT300 cars. The top seven qualifiers for each class will
be relegated to Division 1, while the bottom seven will go to Division 2.
Same Class: GT500 and GT300 cars will battle their own kind. There will be only one room per class.
Top 14 qualifying times will make this single-room event.
Hosts: Announced 20 hours prior to the race.

90-99: 9p
100: 10p
Race Percentage Completion
Drivers must complete atleast 85% of the overall race lenght or he/she
will not earn a single championship point (bonus points is kept).
Points classification will move up accordingly. This means any D2 driver can
earn as much as finishing second overall.
Ballast: Succes penalty system
3 first cars from each class to cross the finishline will get a succes ballast penalty for the next race.
50 kg for 1st place, 30 kg for second place, 10 kg for third place.
Success penalties can only be removed with 20 kg at a time. And to be able to remove 20 kg, you need to miss the podium. If you keep hitting podiums, your success ballast will keep on adding up until you finally miss the podium.
Participation
To accommodate real life commitments (absences), only 8 races will be counted into your standings.
You can drop which ever 3 races you feel like.
Tie Breakers
- Points
- Wins
- Podiums
- Finished Races
- Bonus Points
- Race Starts
- CONNECT TIME AND RACE TIME
- ALL drivers must be in the room atleast 30 minutes prior the race. If not, you will be excluded from the race, and all drivers below will move up accordingly. We need to have 30 minutes to make sure that drivers have the time to change rooms/comming in from waiting lists.
- All drivers must stay tuned of the situation 30 minutes prior the race by looking in this thread. If a driver is missing, a steward or the host for that race where a driver is missing will state that wery clearly in this thread. If a driver is missing in D1, pole for D2 will move up to 7th in D1, and the first on the waiting list will move up to 7th in D2.
- This is a bit of a communication issue, and that's why I ask all drivers to stay sharp during the half-hour-mark prior the race to make the task as easy to manage as possible for us stewards.
Host Checklist
1. Setup the Raceroom atleast 1 hour prior race start (Connect Time).
*Type: "WSGTC ROUND x"
*Track for that week, set to 175 km. Round up the number of laps. And remember to add the formationlap as well.
*Race For Real
*Number of Participants: 14
*Mic/Headset: OFF
*High (Recommended)
*NOT fixed room
*Penalty: OFF
*Grid Start
*Grip Reduction on wet track/track edge: Real
*Damage: Heavy
*Race Finish Delay: 180 (max)
*Time/Weather on the enduros
*Bost: OFF
*542 hp limit (When the race is about to start, let the car on track in PP order. From lowest to highest, you can let the cars to track using bhp as well. If we change the method we are using, the possibility to cheat will decrease)
*1050 kg limit for races that include GT300's/1090 kg for races that only includes GT500's
*Tyres: Racing Hard
*ASM: OFF
*TCS: OFF
*SRF: OFF
*Active Steering: OFF
*Driving Line: OFF
2. Post Room Number in the thread
3. Make sure to have the sarting grid close at hand. It will make it easy for you to answer any questions regarding grid spots.
4. If a driver is missing 30 minutes prior the race, you shall post in the thread that a driver from D2/Waiting list can enter. If the "original" driver shows up after you have posted that a spot is open, you have to kick the "original" driver. If a driver states very clearly in the thread that he for some reason will arrive late, it's perfectly fine. But he NEEDS to make sure that the host for the race he is going to participate in knows. Throwing a way a PM as a compliment to the post in the thread is a smart move.
5. Make sure to save the replay.

::::: CODE OF RACING CONDUCT :::::
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 hold it's line, 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 within or after the
braking point, 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.
III. Defensive Driving
Depending on the situation, any car can be overtaken from either side of the track. You can defend your position only 'once' by changing directions. Anything overly aggressive like sudden movements (when the overtaking car is about to pass and is very close) or 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 should be reported to the Stewards.
Driving down a straight and placing your car off or opposite the driving line far in advance before the braking point, forcing your opponent to take the outside line or a different line in general, is considered a reasonable strategy for defending your position. This counts as 'one move' - pertaining to the 1st paragraph above. Any more sudden movements right after will be considered illegal blocking and should 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. Gray/Concrete cobbles are part of the tack.
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.
::::: PENALTY SYSTEM :::::
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. Penalties will vary depending on severity of offence. Stewards can impose time penalties, reprimand a driver, exclude him from the results, or suspend him from the next race.
I. Offences
- Breach of the required vehicle specs and 'Race Rules' (minimum DQ)
- Breach of the 'Gentleman's Rule' (minimum 10 second penalty)
- Breach of Track Contact Rules (minimum 10 second penalty)
- False Start (Passing before start finish of Rolling Start) (minimum 10 second penalty)
- Avoidable contact resulting to damage (minimum 25 second penalty)
- Hindering drivers from overtaking by changing directions more than once (minimum 10 second penalty)
- Illegal blocking/forcing cars off track (minimum 10 second penalty)
- Not relinquishing gained position/s after leaving off track (minimum +25 second penalty)
- Rejoining track after an off without regards to oncoming traffic (minimum +10 second penalty)
- Overall aggressive driving (minimum warning)
Any of the above can add up together resulting to bigger timed penalties and/or Disqualification.
II. Penalties
Specifics
- +10 seconds to Total Time
- +25 seconds to Total Time
- +40 seconds to Total Time
- +5 spots down the grid to next race
- Exclusion from Results (DQ)
- Suspension for 1 Race + Probation for whole season
- Exclusion from the whole Championship
Breach of Racing Code - IV. Track Contact
Three Strike System
Strike 1: Warning
Strike 2: +10 seconds
Strike 3: +25 seconds (May depend after Steward deliberation)
Further track contact violations will result to bigger timed penalties and/or Disqualification.
III. Reporting an Incident
Issues must be first kept privately between the parties involved (through the PM system). If the said parties do not come to a mutual agreement, the issue must be escalated and reported to the Stewards within 24 hours after the race, otherwise, thanks to the crap replay system, penalties will not be given out or considered unless it is noted by the Stewards (If you are involved, it is your responsibility to inform the Stewards of your side of the story within the 24 hour time limit). Furthermore, if a Steward/s is/are involved in an incident, he/she will be excluded temporarily from the Stewards Committee.
Please disclose important information about incidents along with your report.
- Lap/Time when incident occurred
- How long did incident occur (approx.)
- How many were involved
- Who was/were involved
Deliberation Process
- An incident is reported and/or noted by Drivers/Stewards
- Stewards will contact driver/s in potential fault
- After hearing both parties, Stewards will review the replay and give suitable penalties.
Enforcing Penalties
Penalties will be strictly enforced. They can neither be appealed nor reversed.

Previous page but nevermind.
People who race, try their hardest. If people have in their mind that if they lose, they will have to give away 1,000,000 of their credits, they'll probably try just as hard as if they didn't have to give away their credits. At the end of the day, the slowest drivers will end up at the bottom end of the table. If someone was a newcomer to online racing and wanted to improve their skills, I don't think that this rule would be very welcoming to them?
