Attention all:
Here is the driver's briefing for Round 4, the 6 Hours of Westhill International Reversed.
Circuit: Westhill International Reversed (WE1R)
Server Name: NDR|GTAL 2010
Server Password: The password is the same as it was for Round 1. Team Managers should have PW in their inbox. Or whoever sent in the application. If you do not have it contact me and I'll get it to you.
Duration: 6 hours
Race Start Time and Date: 14:00 UTC Saturday 27 February 2010
1. Weather Conditions: According to forecasts for Exeter, England for Saturday afternoon/evening, the following weather conditions will be run for Saturday's race: Cloudy Sunset, Low Wind. There are flags located at the main paddock to provide reference. The administration will provide wind direction information upon request.
2. Race Start and Safety Car Procedure: The Safety Car will be stacked on top of the grid. It will pull away when the lights go green. DO NOT MOVE UNTIL THE CAR AHEAD HAS PULLED AWAY. Circulate the course in order, keeping 5-8 car lengths between you and the car ahead. The leader needs to stay about 10 car lengths back from the SC. SC will travel at a top speed of approximately 130 kph. It may travel slower on the first lap of a deployment and/or at Race Control Discretion.
On a start/restart, after the right hander before the crossover bridge at the start of the last sector, the SC will have its speed restriction lifted and will charge away from the field and head to its station at the end of pitlane.
On the START ONLY that the field should form into double-file exiting the second to last turn, maintaining approximately (+/- 5 kph) pitlane speed. Pole sitter will be asked which side of course he wishes to start on, everything else will fall in accordingly. All cars, once caught into rows, should maintain approximately pitlane speed. No car is required to be on the pitlimiter. Drivers are to wait for the green flag before overtaking.
On restarts, the leader may accelerate when he wishes after the Safety Car In This Lap message, but may not overtake the SC until it passed the Safety Car Line, which is the start/finish line. The Green Flag message will be displayed at the point which the SC crosses this line. This does not mean that all cars should accelerate, it is just to signify that the course is clear and racing will resume at the start of the next lap. THERE IS NO OVERTAKING BEFORE THE START/FINISH LINE.
A Safety Car Period in race will last a minimum of 2 Laps.
3. Communications: Each team must have a team representative in our IRC channel, #ndr at irc.gamesurge.net for the duration of the race. Failure to have a representative in IRC when contact is needed will result in a loss of the team's fastest qualifying lap, as well as the prescribed points penalty. Administration will also be available in our Ventrilo server, at denmark.ventriloservers.biz port 3828. A team representative is also welcome to stay in Ventrilo for the duration of the race if they so desire.
4. Driver Naming: Drivers should format their names before entering the server, creating a new driver profile and ensuring their profile is void of binds for the event. Names shall be formatted as per the sporting code, which is summarized as: The number shall remain in either grey or white. We will not nit-pick on spacing in the name, but we do require a space between number and name. Example formatting (no coloring in this, assume in-game that it is all grey): 00 J. Palmer
5. Tracker: Tracker will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com. Please point out any errors you note to us during the race. We will post the input on Friday evening after qualifying for confirmation.
6. Miscellany: Chat is forbidden during qualifying and races. A drive-through will be issued immediately for chat. Within the last ten minutes it will be a 30-second time penalty, applied after-race. Chat includes any messages, and driver name changing in server. If your name is incorrect, we will issue a stop-go for you to change it under. We will not issue a penalty for unblocking or blocking messages unless it happens repeatedly in a race. All other messages will be penalized. We will announce when chat is closed and then reopened.
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S during the race without authorization from Race Control. If you are beached or upside down, please use the $SC bind to alert us if we have not already called the yellow. We will tell you to spectate shortly thereafter.
After finishing the race, please slow below racing speeds after the pit exit blend line ends and proceed around into pit lane. Select any open garage stall and pull in. Top three should proceed to staging just behind the finish line for a podium photograph.
Protests thread will be started Friday.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck, and see you Saturday.
