Round 1 of 9 :: August 10th, 2015
Track: Kyoto Ring National [KY2]
Cars: UFR [with 10kg added mass] and XFR
Qualifying Mode: 15 minutes timed [no limitations]
Race Mode: 41 laps [with mandatory pit stop including the change of all four tyres]
Qualifying:
During qualifying, all drivers will be permitted to do as many laps as they wish, and if so desired, also jump to the pits directly from the track via Shift+P/S or the menu. When leaving the pit lane, you must pay attention to the yellow pit exit blendline! Only at the end of that line are you allowed to enter the circuit. To help you with that, the end of that line will be marked with a pole. Please also make sure that you don't interfere with any other drivers' qualifying laps, however, this does not mean that when you're a slower driver, and you're on a lap yourself, that faster cars coming from behind have the right of way. It's in every driver's own responsibility to leave a large enough gap to the cars in front of him.
Should a driver receive a penalty during qualifying, receiving a DT for speeding in pit lane for example, he must serve that penalty as soon as possible! Penalties which aren't served will lead to the drive in question being moved to the back of the grid!
After the time has elapsed and the last attempt has been either completed or aborted, all drivers are asked to park there car in pit lane and to not enter the track itself!
Race:
As always, the race starts with a laglap. During the actual start, everyone will be asked to act with caution since the distance to the first actual corner is very long. On top of that, the chicane off the oval is very tight compared to the oval itself, so be careful with what line you pick prior to your braking for T1, we don't want to see four car fighting over the same corner when at best two can get through without any issues.
To make the race a bit more interesting there will also be an element of strategy in form of a mandatory pit stop in which the all four tyres must be changed. Since there is no specific pit window, the pit stop may be made in any lap except for the final lap. Of course, the pit entry and pit exit blend lines must not be crossed when doing so. As mentioned above already, the ends of both will be marked with a pole to make it easier to see for the drivers. Crossing these lines would result in a penalty, just like in qualifying.

In the meantime I have been at the wheel every now and then, but the CityLiga is always something special and switching from TV+orga to active driving+orga is a very nice thing.
