Quote from Jonathon.provost :
  • Accidentally stealing a NDR rule book for my own series in my your dumb young years of not knowing of 'copy right' and royally angering deko. Sorry!
  • Signing up for the Kyoto 500 in 2012, being given the number 72, not qualifying and making 72 my permanent race number in anything I can run when possible. Thanks for that deko, 72 will always live on.
  • Help run NDR and get on deko's nerves with all my suggestions

So you're saying your sole mission in life is to annoy me? Omg omg omg

And you're suggesting I get angry? Dead banana

Addendum 1: Turn 2 Track Limits:

At Turn 2, drivers who impact any tyre or drive to the right of the tyre wall will be considered to have shortcut the corner.

In Qualifying and duals, the lap you cut will be deleted.

In each race, three cuts will be allowed. 4th cut, you will receive a black/white sportsmanship warning. Each cut thereafter will be a drive-through penalty (or its time equivalent if late in the race).

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, [space], first initial, dot, last name [eg. 00 J.Provost].

The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.

5. Practice Starts
Drivers are permitted to take practice starts at the location notified above, any time the pit exit is open. Drivers taking practice starts should wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.

6. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.

7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, at least 2 wheels must be to the RIGHT of the blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the RIGHT of the blend line.

8. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.

Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.

Each group winner will advanced to the semi finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.

9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.

An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.

10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 8 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

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

11. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC*
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas

First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.

2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.

No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.

12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.

13. Attack Boost:
During each race, each driver must use the designated boost strip area three (3) times. If the race is declared wet at any point there will be no MINIMUM uses. There is still a MAXIMUM of three uses per driver.
Drivers may NOT use attack boost in the first two laps of the race. Attack boost cannot be used under SC or VSC conditions. Attack boost can be used during free practice, but is disabled during Qualifying.

14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme located on drivers RIGHT just before turn 3. The top 3 shall report to the podium via parc ferme.

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.

15. Miscellany:
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 during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.

Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.

Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Good luck!

Quote from nikopdr :Session AND SERVER of Incident: Main server, Race 2
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident (or session time or UTC Time of Day): 19:56:28UTC, Lap 3
Car(s) involved: 51, 87
Location of Incident: Turns 9-13
Brief Description of Incident:
I'm challenging #51 for track position and after he lifted before turn 9 i manage to get alongside nicely and set up an overtake for turns 10-11, however before this #51 first hits the side of my car taking a line where a single car could only pass through, forcing me to take turn 11 slow and making another corner to be taken 2 wide.

I defend from this by changing lane towards middle in the braking and i slightly turn right before the initial braking. #51 then proceeds to hit my rear left and pushing me towards the outside wall of turn 12.

After turn 12 #51 takes a normal line into turn 13 but over 10km/h slower than his pace during this corner normally.

The incidents at Turns 10 and 11 are deemed inconsequential.

The incident at Turn 12 is considered NFA. Car 87 changes lines right around the braking point, Car 51 is not assuring clear distance.

The incident at Turn 13 is in two parts. First part, the initial contact. Car 51 is 15 kph slower than usual through that corner, but the driver's inputs are no different through that section. The slowness through that corner was due to the slower exit from Turn 12.

Second part, Car 87 has an unsafe rejoin from the spin. This action is penalized.

Car 87 also took two additional Attack Boost Activations (Laps 3, 6, 8, 11, 13), which would normally be worth a 10 second time penalty for each overuse (or under use).

Car 87 also had unsporting comments in the chat post-race directed at another driver.

For the combination of these three incidents, the Stewards have elected the following

Car 87 - Disqualified from Round 3 Race 2 - Unsafe rejoin from an accident, overuse of speed boost (x2), unsportsmanlike behaviour in chat

Quote from Sobis :Would it be possible to have a small counter of how many boosters were used during the race up above near the track status? Would help keeping track how many were used. Similar style to qualification counter available to us.

I might be able to add that for the 4th and 5th rounds, the last few weeks of my life have been hell so adding features to make all our lives better has been gutted by work and personal issues.

I can probably add it, given a couple hours to code and test.

In qualifying, Car 51 was judged to have taken a third timed lap. This lap was disallowed.

In Race 1, Car 5 caused an avoidable collision at Turn 4. This was penalized with a 5-place grid penalty.

In Race 1, Car 5 spectated from on course without race control permission. This is penalized with a 5-point driver's championship penalty.

In Race 2, Car 34 was determined to have only used two activations of the Power Boost area. As no part of the session was declared wet, this is in violation of the regulations. This is penalized with a 10 second time penalty to Car 34's race time.

The following outstanding Grid Penalties were served during Round 2:

47 (2 places)
5 (5 places)
