Qualifying will run from Sat, 24 September 2016 15:30UTC until Sun, 2 October 2016 15:30UTC. Drivers can drive as many laps as they wish to. A team needs at least one timed lap to be allowed to start the race. E.g. it is enough that one driver of the team sets a lap. If more then one driver of a team sets a lap time, the faster time will be taken for the starting line-up. The end of the qualifying also marks the deadline for changes to the team's line-up, class or car.
Important, to prevent cutting, a layout will be used, narrowing down parts of the track. This layout is attached here.
The qualifying password will be published here, so teams, that sign-up can directly do qualifying, even when noone's sending them a password. Please always drive with your correct name format on the server, so it is easier to do the qualifying results.

Race starts at 16:00UTC, with the gridding at 15:50UTC. The race will be started via a double file start after a shortened warm-up lap via custom grid. The race layout will be posted here a couple of days prior to the race.
The grid departs after the final hairpin in two-by-two formation. The field shall accelerate to 80kph (49mph). Overtaking is allowed with the Green-Flag-Message.
The unholy first chicane has no walls for the race. The geometry is kept, however, by poles signaling the area, which is deemed off track. Touching poles means you were out of bounds. If a team gets caught three times throughout the race, driving through that area, a drive-thorugh-penalty will be given!
Please be careful in Turn 1 and Turn 3 as these places are designed to cause trouble in the first lap.
Please remember, there are NO Safety Cars, NO restarts. Rejoins are allowed at anytime but result in the loss of one lap, including rejoins due to connection loss.
I hope you will have a fun race nonetheless.
