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, except Pre-Qualifying.

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.

NOTE: VSC SPEEC IS 100 kph / 62 mph FOR THIS ROUND

8. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the left of the blend line along its entire length.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the left of the blend line along its entire length.

9. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying will be set to 22 minutes, with the pit exit closed for the first two minutes. Drivers may queue at pit exit. The course will open for laps with 20 minutes remaining, and remain open until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.

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

The grid for the race will spawn on driver's right, in the pitlane. 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 21, and stay at the head of the field. After Turn 21, 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. Race laps will start counting after the first start attempt, regardless of start or no start.

11. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 17. 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 at the start of 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!

Hello racers,

Pre-Qualifying
The Top 10 in the Driver's Championship are locked in for the sixth round. All other Drivers must take at least one timed lap in Pre-Qualifying in order to be able to partake in Round 6.

Pre-Qualifying starts at 18:00 UTC on 18 March 2021, and runs for 48 hours.

The Locked-In Drivers:

Joe Holmes (Kart-36)
Isaac Price (IsaacPrice)
Joni Katila (jsrk)
Niko Puntola (nikopdr)
Sean Lee (microspecv)
Jarno Lehikoinen (MaunoKasa)
Dennis Lind (Dennis93)
Dániel Balla (MandulAA)
Darius Veržinskas (Pathseeker)
Vytautas Laguckas (Excellent15)

It will take place in the NDR.Pre-Qualifying server. 30 cars will make it into the round on Sunday, we ask the first three drivers outside the top 30 to be ready to jump in last minute, if necessary. See later in this post about the "Grid 2" race.

Drivers may take as many laps as they want. Drafting is permitted, bump-drafting is not. Drivers should not impede other drivers at any time.

Confirmations
All drivers are assumed to be planning to attend a round by way of their entry to the series. For Round 6, ALL TOP 10 DRIVERS are required to explicitly state yes or no in this thread - ALL OTHER DRIVERS need only state if they are NOT planning to partake by posting a "no". You have until 06:00 on Tuesday, 23 March 2021 to tell us a no. Please use the following format, replacing the car number and username with your own:

no/99/dekojester

If you do not state a "no" here, and do not attend pre-qualifying, you will be removed from the series entry list.

Drivers Who Do Not Make the Top 30 Cut

We will be offering a race session for drivers who do not make it into the main grid. This race will not score points nor be officially timed, but will be full distance. Start order will be based off of Pre-Qualifying times. It will be run on another server during the time of the main GT2 Challenge race.

All drivers who attempt Pre-Qualifying, or Top 10 drivers who race, will be given 5 bonus points towards the championship. This 5-point bonus is awarded per round.

These entries have been dropped from the entry list for failure to appear and failure to confirm "no" for Round 5. These drivers have not taken part in any session, their car numbers are free for election by any other new entrant.

The following drivers failed to appear at Round 5, and failed to confirm non-attendance at Round 5. All these drivers have taken part in at least one official session (yes, Pre-Qualifying is an official session), so their numbers are locked to them.

If one of these drivers wishes to re-enter the series, they must quote their original entry, and simply state "Re-entering the series".

If a car number appears in the entry pdf, it is in use and cannot be used by anyone other than the driver it's associated with.
