Quote from michal 1279 :

My pleasure
But the primary objective is to annoy the commentary booth a little bit

I have a complaint though - in the entry list I have 0 average points, despite attending one round of standard GT2C season. Is it a mistake?

Yeah sorry, my fault. I have added them on your average points is 60 fyi.

Entry List Updated

Event Specifics

1. Alerting the Administration:
Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The command will tell the administration what location you're at.

2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak]

3. Broadcast
This race will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts

They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.

4. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name may be in colour, but we prefer all white - consistency looks better, and is easier to read.

5. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.

6. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions.

7. Virtual Safety Car Test
There will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting about 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.

8. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, ALL 4 wheels must be to the LEFT of the blend line along its entire length.
On pit exit, ALL 4 wheels must be to the LEFT of the blend line along its entire length.

9. Qualifying Procedure
All teams with driver(s) who participated in the season, will have the average of their points taken. These teams will be ordered in start position by their average points, in descending order.
Entries that were all part of the same team during the regular season will be given a 10 point bonus for each round their team attended, added to the total prior to the average.

All teams who comprise entirely of cars that did not partake in the season will get a 15-minute qualifying session, and take up spots behind all cars made up of drivers who did participate in the season.

10. Race Start:
The race will have one formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.

The grid for the race will spawn on the left side of the front straight. When the session timing starts, drivers are to pull away from their grid spots in grid order.

The SC will slow to 80 kph/49 mph after Turn 10, and stay at the head of the field. After Turn 12, the field should begin forming into dual-file formation. Polesitter will be asked their chosen side during the gridding process. The Safety Car will pull into the pitlane right before the pit wall. Drivers should hold pace until the green flag is given - overtaking is permitted on race start from the green flag.

In the event of an aborted start, there will be no message except a voice wave-off call in TeamSpeak. Drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. Two wave-offs are permitted before the race start will be a standard safety car restart.

For the avoidance of doubt, the 6 hour clock starts with the start of the formation lap.

11. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 9. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on all restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

12. Penalties This Round:

We are not using the standard LFS penalty system this round. The insim control application has a custom penalty system. If you are given a Stop-Go Penalty, you will need to stop in the penalty box in the middle of the pitlane, marked with red cones and red chalk. You must stop your car within this box and stay still for 10 seconds, or the system will declare too short and re-issue the penalty.

You have three passes of the start/finish line to serve a penalty. If you wish to defer the DT or SG penalty to take pit service, you may do so - that lap will not count against your three lap limit.

13. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed to pit lane. The top 3 shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.

Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.

14. Miscellany:
Bump drafting is probibited in all sessions.

Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.

You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.

If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.

Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Good luck!

Quote from buck77 :

#14

Number board is required on the hood

Quote from Papator :

hello,
a general request for all sessions
wy alternate tyres are forbiden ?
i am french, and my english understand is poor, but i read nothing on that point on the last rule book.
the GTRs are designed for full power.
basicaly for lower power we can made beter sets with lower tyre.
is that an avantage ?
probably... or not, but wy we cant try ?

The championship started with the standard config, so the remainder will be conducted in the that way.

Quote from NumberTwo :

#22

Rejected, please use sunstrip provided in skinkit

I am very much liking the live replays. Getting about a 3-6 second delay when watching live and 3x replays. That time can extend a bit with some micro freezes on the replays but defiantly a help when race directing etc

Although I would love the delay to be a little shorted, this is very good.

A rewind key would be a mahoosive improvement also for replays

(FYI on photo top left is Live other 3 are replays)

Thanks

Quote from MicroSpecV :

Virtual Safety Car Maximum Speed: 70 kph / 43 mph

Uhh, 70 kph? That's going to be impossible to maintain for mouse/kb, especially if we set the 1st gear to pit speed limit of 80...?

VSC Changed to 80 kph / 49 mph

Please note: GT2C Rule V.2 and V.2.a are no longer in effect. From this point, number plate content is free but as always, the stewards reserve the right to ask anyone to change their plate as required.

The rule book will be updated as soon as possible.

That is awesome! Love it!

Following some inquiries and driver feedback, we have decided to rescind all number plate penalties for Round 1. We feel this is in the best interest of the driver and agree with some of the feedback.

New Dimension Racing are currently reviewing the current regulations regarding number plates and will have an update for you soon.
