The opening post should be up to date. Teams that signed up with starting numbers which are already taken (and therefore are not approved) are notified.

Qualifying will run from 26 Mar 2016 15:30UTC until Sun, 3 Apr 2016 15:30UTC. Drivers can drive as many laps as they wish to. A team needs at least one timed lap to be allowed to start the race. E.g. it is enough that one driver of the team sets a lap. If more then one driver of a team sets a lap time, the faster time will be taken for the starting line-up. The end of the qualifying also marks the deadline for changes to the team's line-up, class or car.

The qualifying password will be published here, so teams, that sign-up can directly do qualifying, even when noone's sending them a password. Please always drive with your correct name format on the server, so it is easier to do the qualifying results.


Qualifying standing available online at http://newdimensionracing.com/preqtracker/qtracker.php - times are pulled from the server at the top of every hour.

Race starts at 16:00UTC, with the gridding at 15:50UTC. [more to come] ...

The drivers 17 OPEL™ KÀKÊ (KAKE99) and J-N Motorsport (]tomi[) are banned from the series' server for joining and vote banning a driver until Tuesday, December 18th 2018.

Votes are now turned off on the server.

Throughout last season and the first race of this season, we have witnessed an ever-increasing number of drivers who use button clutch. We consider this an unfair advantage and will therefor no longer allow this to happen. From Round 3 onwards, it will be mandatory for all drivers to use auto clutch to level the playing field. The only exception is that drivers, who use a H-shifter, will be allowed to use an axis clutch.

Breaking this rule will lead to a warning on the first violation. Should the driver in question continue to break the rules, he will receive time penalties or even disqualifications.

Ehm... FZR Freaks are 3 drivers. The fastest driver cannot make the Round. The team would have gotten a penalty for their fastest driver not racing. However, you race alone and therefore don't cause a penalty to your teammates.

By the way, just to rule it out in the future, no conditioned requests and no change-of-mind. This shall only be the ultima ratio.

Here we list decisions that are either not specifically mentioned in the rules but are fulfiling the spirit of the rules.

Decisions:

• eX.R Blacky (MG-NA3) may drive for eXtrem Racing #1 and eXtrem Racing #2. eXtrem Racing asked for one of their drivers driving on two cars during one race. This was granted as (thanks to /setlap) no tracker is used during the race.
  
• cq.arco (przemek21061995)'s time will be ignored in first round's qualifying session. The team of FZR Freaks reported their driver cannot make Round 1.
  
• The drivers 17 OPEL™ KÀKÊ (KAKE99) and J-N Motorsport (]tomi[) are banned from the series' server for joining and vote banning a driver until Tuesday, December 18th 2018.
  
• Driver eX.R Asco may (Ascona b) drive for eXtrem Racing #2 in Round 3. Since it is not possible to edit oneself out of a team and into another, he asked to take his teammate's car, who is not makeing it to today's race.

Quote from Slovakia ring :

#71 fxr

It misses the red rear wing underside

For those having driven the FZR in GT2: The times are tracked but don't appear in the standard !top list. This is nothing to worry about. Until the end of Qualifying, use !top fx2+fz9+xr2

Thanks Jonathon for your insights!

@Gutholz: It will be between 80-120kph (50-75mph) behind the pacecar, probably in Tarzan slower. Once the safety car goes to pitlane the leader controls the speed, once the "green" is signaled, overtaking is allowed.

Added the race briefing to the opening post.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Race starts at 17:00UTC, with the gridding at 16:50UTC. The new password will be posted shortly after the end of the qualifying session. Please point out any mistakes in the class/car choice thread, because the starting-line up is set by those information.
The race commences with a lap behind a pace car. The field stays single-file throughout the lap. When the pace car enters pitlane, the leader controls the pace. The race itself is then started by a "Green Flag" signal. EDIT: Once it is shown, overtaking is allowed.
Be cautious on the first racing lap! Rockingham's first hairpin has a reputation to end one's ambitions early, you are not alone on the track! This even more counts for traffic, as it is the lapping car's responsibility to overtake at a safe spot (e.g. NOT in the triple left hander from Pif Paf to Graceland or in the middle of the final Brook chicane [see trackmap]). It moreover won't be a race of plenty of overtaking spots, so be patient.
When you are changing drivers the entering driver shall enter the server when the exiting driver is on his inlap. After the change the exiting driver shall leave the server as soon as possible.
In case you end up stranded in the gravel or you damage your car so badly you cannot return to pitlane on track, you may rejoin the race from the pits/spectators. However any rejoin will be charged with 1 lap!

Thanks for reporting. I try to evaluate how far you can go there and put a concrete wall there. Tyre walls have the iffy problem that it might not stop you and if they do, and someone else happens to go off there shortly after, it might not stop him.

EDIT: If you like give that layout a test, it should work but if you have some feedback, you are welcome. Importance for me was a) it is far enough away from the auto-spec zone, b) it has a concave shape

Adnan, you need to paint the underside of your wing and your mirrors red.

Yes, exactly what k_badam says: The underside of your wing and your mirrors need to be red.

As of now: 15 GT1s, 2 GT2s and 2 NGTs.
