I like the fresh approach but to me personally it seems like too much preparation and planning is needed for too little actual racing. Is this league intended as a substitute to another MoE season?
Races are only 2 weeks apart. Preperation is much lower, however you still want to drive all out those 90 minutes. For people outside the top 10 in points, you also have to run the qualifying race. So preperation is still key.
Obviously the races aren't as long as endurance races, but this isn't exactly endurance racing. With LFS' current state, anything new and fresh is needed.
As for the day of the races, if anyone has any objections to Sunday please speak now. We will look into both days and see if we can get a decent time slot with no overlapping and no late night racing.
Read below, you might be able to race if you get your team mate to do all the rest.
Normally real racing.
However we are trying to squeeze everything in by 8pm UTC (20:00), which is 10pm UTC+2. That's the time that was our "limit" for Sunday. Don't want people dropping out due to school or work the next morning.
So it would look something like this (All times UTC):
17:00: Qualifying race (approx 30 min)
17:30: Q race done, break to determine who made it in, and to get ready for official qualifying.
17:40: 2 servers for Q (one for GT500, one for GT300). 20 minutes, non-hardcore.
18:00: Done with Q, all rejoin back to server 1.
18:10: Grid
18:15: Main Race (approx 90 min)
19:45: All done
Note this could change, but that is currently what we are shooting for. Hopefully that fits everyones Sunday schedule. Don't get too greedy though, we are already switching from Saturday to Sunday.
What about a GT300 car who is passed by the gt500 leader, will they be allowed to pass the Safety Car? Hypothetically saying that they are not behind the GT300 leader (on track).
an example of this is that car X is passed by the gt500 leader, caution is called but they are still on the lead lap to their class.
