Hello drivers and managers,
Welcome to Round 5 of the Super GT Series, and welcome back from the winter break!
We have a number of things to discuss before the racing gets underway, so have a look at the categories below:
1. Rule changes
There has been one major rule change since Round 4. Please see this post for full details. The full rulebook is available here.
2. Start Procedure
The start and restart procedures are unchanged from Round 4. Remember that SC speed is always 60mph/100kph.
As usual, we will be asking the polesitter in each class which side of the grid they prefer to start from.
Also, the GT500 leader should keep Rule I2.2 in line:
3. Weather
Per rule B4, a random number draw is used to determine whether low wind will be used. If the number drawn is odd, wind is used; if even, wind is not used.
The number drawn for this round was 19. Therefore, LOW WIND will be used in the Qualifying Heat Race, as well as the official Quali and Race sessions.
4. Penalties
In the Super GT Series, all protests are ruled upon after the event. Post-race penalties may be given in the form of time penalties, points penalties, grid position penalties, or deferred DT/SG penalties. Post-race time penalties will be as follows:
DT: 13s
SG: 25s
5. Qualifying Heat Race
The grid for the Qualifying Heat Race is as follows:
GT500:
1. CoRe Racing 2. LFS France
3. South of Heaven 4. Cookie Monster Racing
5. Spirit Racing Team 6. Team Vires
7. iNf!N!tY*SkillS 8. Wicked Racing Team
GT300:
1. Mafia Racing 2. Tiger Express Motorsports

5. Conquest Racing 6. Team Vires
7. Last Lap Motorsports 8. Hellenic Racing Team
9. Segra RACING 10. Bulgaria Motorsport Team
11. Worldcrashleague
The top 5 finishers in each class will be allowed to participate in the official qualifying and race sessions.
*** If you do not finish in the top 5 in your class in the Qualifying Heat Race, DO NOT attempt to participate in qualifying. ***
Please keep Rule F5.1 in mind:
6. Qualifying Servers
We will use two qualifying servers, one for GT500 and one for GT300:
Super GT Series = GT500
Super GT Series Backup = GT300
