Circuit: South City Long Reversed (SO4R)
Server Name: NDR.GT2 World Series 2011
Server Password: Team Managers and/or official representatives should have PW in their PM inbox. If you do not have it contact CSF
Duration: 6 hours
Server Arrival Deadline Time and Date: 14:50 UTC Saturday 5 November 2011
Race Start Time and Date: 15:00 UTC Saturday 5 November 2011
1. 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 / 80 mph. It may travel slower on the first lap of a deployment and/or at Race Control Discretion.
SPECIAL NOTE: Any car(s) that will be starting from pitlane will be stacked AHEAD of the Safety Car and allowed to do one full lap ahead of the field, to keep them on the leader lap instead of automatically -1 lap.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Safety Car will park in the South City Sprint 2 Pit area. It may be overtaken on restarts once it crosses the split 2 line.
On the START ONLY that the field should form into double-file after the final hairpin, then maintain approximately (+/- 10 kph) pitlane speed through until the green flag. 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.
After the SC pulls away on restarts, the leader controls the pace and may accelerate when he choses, provided he does not overtake the SC before it crosses the split 2 line. THERE IS NO OVERTAKING BEFORE THE START/FINISH LINE.
2. 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 DT, as well as the prescribed points penalty. We will also be available in the NDR TeamSpeak server: IP: 84.45.52.142 Port: 10005
3. Driver Naming: If you don't know how to format your name by now, you deserve the penalty
But if you wish to remind yourself of it, it's in the rules.
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.
4. Miscellany: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 turn 1 and proceed around into pit lane. Select any open garage stall and pull in.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck, and see you Saturday.
