Race:
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. Qualifying Procedure
We are doing a two-shot qualifying system this season. You have a maximum of two exits of the pitlane, and two timed laps. You may take the laps separately or back to back. You are not to exit the pit lane if you do not have a timed lap remaining.
The qualifying session is 20 minutes in duration. The actual session will be 22 minutes long. Pit exit will be closed for the first two minutes. The Race Director will announce when the fast lane is open for drivers to queue at pit exit. Drivers should only enter the fast lane if they intend to proceed to the track from the pitlane.
In the event we have more than 40 drivers confirm for this race meeting, we will split the entrants evenly into two groups, and have a second server for qualifying. Notice of which group you are in will be sent via forum message.
3. Start and Safety Cars:
Each race will have one formation lap, followed by a standing start.
When the default LFS lights turn green, pull away from your grid slot and do one lap, return to the grid area. Stop at the furthest available grid slot. Once all cars are in position, the Starter will initiate the start sequence. An insim head-up display will appear, with three lights. After 5 seconds, all three lights will illuminate red. After a pause of between 2 and 5 seconds, the lights will turn green and the race will be started.
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.
4. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions. In the event that we split qualifying sessions, wind will be turned off for qualifying.
5. 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.
SimBroadcasts will be broadcasting the race live, and 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.

8. Track Limits:
Drivers are reminded that they must have at least two whole tyres on the racing surface at all times. The racing surface is defined as the marked course and its kerbing. For the avoidance of doubt, the entire white line delineating the course is considered part of the course. The anti-cut humps at the chicane are not part of the racing surface.
If you miss the chicane on the tarmac, you must go through the tyre stacks, and stay entirely to the left of the yellow line to return to the race course. If you are sent left of the yellow line through the grass in any capacity, you must stay to the left of the yellow line, but do not have to go through the tyre stacks.
9. Pit Entry and Pit Exit

The matter was reviewed by a Judge of Fact, and the matter forwarded to the Stewards.
The Stewards have deemed that HR|Cooper yieled to spiky and michal, therefore take no further action.
Rane was within his right to overtake Jereloco at pit entry area at 22:06 mpr time, as Jereloco came to a complete stop by the pit entry.
Rane elected to yield the position back to Jereloco during the red flag. This is not desired behaviour, but no penalty will be applied.

A Judge of Fact reviewed this incident, and deemed that PitlaneRacer was not in the pitlane at the time of the red flag, and referred the matter to the stewards.
The Stewards have opted to not penalize this, and instead make this a teaching moment. The NDR Sporting Code states that no one should take pitstop service during a red flag except those already in the pit lane at the time the red flag is called. The Pit lane is defined as the area between the speed limit lines. All other areas are part of the race track or pit entry or pit exit.

Soini and Mate were stationary in the pitlane when PitlaneRacer overtook them. No incident.

Because this season crosses the bounds of the time change, I have updated the timetables accordingly.
Round 1 will start at 14:00 UTC with Free Practice; Rounds 2-6 will start at 15:00 UTC with free practice.
Round 2 is ON the time change day for most of the world, America falls back two weeks later. Any Americas racers will have Round 2 start one hour later than usual, while all racers in the rest of the world will not see a change in the start in their local time.
To help avoid doubt, we will state extra timezones for the Rounds 1-3 briefing threads.
