Event Specifiics
Qualifying: You are allowed to rejoin after using Shift+P/Shift+S. Drafting is permitted, bumpdrafting is NOT.
Race:
1. Alerting the Administration: Use @sc to alert administration to look at your car or the section of track you were in when you use the @sc command. The Race Control App will tell us what sector you're in (see sectors on track map above)
2. Start and Safety Cars: Safety Car will lead the field through 1 formation lap. It will lead the field all the way to the pit entry. After Turn 20, the field needs to form into double file, the leader maintaining pitlane speed (with a 10 kph / 6 mph variance allowed). This speed MUST be maintained from that point until the GREEN FLAG - called by the starter.
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 16. It may not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
3. Communications: The stewards will be available in the TRR Discord throughout the race. Please tag @stewards in the endurance-pros channel if you need us; or come into the talk-to-race-control voice channel and wait for one of us.
4. Driver Naming: Be sure to be in your proper name format. Car number, followed by a space, then your standard driver name, team tag allowed also.
5. Race Control App: The race control app will be running, giving track, pit entry, and pit exit status. There are also lights around the circuit that blink appropriately based on track status.
There are lights on driver's left at the same plane as the first safety car line that indicate pit entry open/close status.
There are lights at pit out indicating the status of the exit. Please respect these signals.
7. Miscellany: Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S during the race without authorization from Race Control.
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after turn 1 and proceed around into pit lane. Select any open garage stall and pull in. The top 3 overall shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!
