Event Specifics
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 command will tell the administration what location you're at.
2. Qualifying Procedure
We are doing a two-shot qualifying system this season. You have a maximum of two exits of the pitlane, and two timed laps. You may take the laps separately or back to back. You are not to exit the pit lane if you do not have a timed lap remaining.
The qualifying session is 20 minutes in duration. The actual session will be 22 minutes long. Pit exit will be closed for the first two minutes. The Race Director will announce when the fast lane is open for drivers to queue at pit exit. Drivers should only enter the fast lane if they intend to proceed to the track from the pitlane.
In the event we have more than 40 drivers confirm for this race meeting, we will split the entrants evenly into two groups, and have a second server for qualifying. Notice of which group you are in will be sent via forum message.
3. Start and Safety Cars:
Each race will have one formation lap, followed by a standing start.
When the default LFS lights turn green, pull away from your grid slot and do one lap, return to the grid area. Stop at the furthest available grid slot. Once all cars are in position, the Starter will initiate the start sequence. An insim head-up display will appear, with three lights. After 5 seconds, all three lights will illuminate red. After a pause of between 2 and 5 seconds, the lights will turn green and the race will be started.
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 9. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
4. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions. In the event that we split qualifying sessions, wind will be turned off for qualifying.
5. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
SimBroadcasts will be broadcasting the race live, and will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.
6. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name must be in GREY or WHITE.
7. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.
8. Track Limits:
Drivers are reminded that they must have at least two whole tyres on the racing surface at all times. The racing surface is defined as the marked course and its kerbing. For the avoidance of doubt, the entire white line delineating the course is considered part of the course. The anti-cut humps at the chicane are not part of the racing surface.
If you miss the chicane on the tarmac, you must go through the tyre stacks, and stay entirely to the left of the yellow line to return to the race course. If you are sent left of the yellow line through the grass in any capacity, you must stay to the left of the yellow line, but do not have to go through the tyre stacks.
9. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On Pit Entry, drivers are to have all four tyres to the left of the white line from the orange post.
On Pit Exit, drivers are to have all four tyres to the left of the white line for its entire length.

11. Virtual Safety Car Test There will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting about 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
12. End of Race After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed around into pit lane. The top 3 shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
