10th February 2019

Track: South City Town Course reversed (SO5r)
Cars: GT2 - FZ50 GTR with 19% intake restriction, FXO GTR with 21% intake restriction, XR GTR with 23% intake restriction

16:30 UTC Qualifying: 20-minute open qualifying session
17:00 UTC Race: 3 hours


Qualifying

During qualifying all drivers will be able to complete as many laps as they wish. However, 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.
Important, the rules have changed slightly and only one driver of any competing team shall be on server and on track at any time.


Race

The grid departs between the final hairpin and the underpass in two-by-two formation. The field shall accelerate to 80kph (49mph). Overtaking is allowed with the Green-Flag-Message. Please be careful on the approach to the first braking zone, as no race has been won yet on the first lap.
The layout with the starting grid will be published later this week.
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.

Round 2 qualifying results

unofficial race results very very unofficial and provisional I am afraid

can someone send me a mpr?

I've got one minor complaint about the start light objects. Make sure the lights are far enough from the track that no cars can knock them over even if there is some lag "jumping". One of those lights fell over in T1(atleast for me) but for some reason it didn't happen in the replay https://clips.twitch.tv/BombasticStrongNuggetsSmoocherZ

I didn't know what those start objects were supposed to be for. Seemed like just extra clutter.

Those start light objects are from the layout being one used for an NDR event (the server has layouts from all NDR events available to it) - which we have controllable via insim when we run SCs and such. I don't think in any of the events run with them, I'd ever heard of anyone hitting them and causing them to land on the circuit. I'll audit the layout to test this case now I suppose!

I've seen them around the track several times (all cases were right after T1 I believe) and I have hit them at least 2 times.

I know it can't get you back your lost places, but it can ensure that future races will be safer.

Not the way our #11 entry would have liked the race to turn out but it provides very good slow-mo footage
Looking forward to the next one.

was not bad
