Announcement of the Zafiralis All Rounder Championship
We are proud to present to you our first ever racing series: the Zafiralis All Rounder Championsip presented by Sim Broadcasts. As the name and logo suggests, the series will feature a wide range of cars and tracks with varying grip levels. The main idea of the series is to have three consecutive rounds in the same track environment with the three different types of tyres before switching to a new track environment. The races will be held monthly starting from monday 8th of January 2024, and the following races will be held on the first monday of the month (see the below for all dates). All races will be livestreamed by Sim Broadcasts on their Twitch and Youtube channels.
What: Zafiralis All Rounder Championship presented by Sim Broadcasts
When: Monthly races starting on monday 8th of January 2024
Where: On our server ZFRL•Events
More info on the series format:
One round consists of one race: the races will be around 45 minutes long with a 30 minute qualifying, no mandatory pitstops. The 30 minute qualifying sessions will start at 20:15 EET and race starts will be at 21:00 EET. In the following round we will return to the same track environment with a different kind of car and layout. After three rounds in the same environment we switch to the next one. First change of environment will occur between at rounds 3 and 4. For clarification, see the event date calendar below.
We will begin the series with the first three races in Blackwood with different cars and track layouts. The first race in a given track environment will be with road tyres, second race with slicks and the third one with dirt tyres. Races with dirt tyres will always feature a layout with at least partially unpaved surface. For example, first set of races could be XFG@BL1, then FO8@BL2r and finally RB4@BL3 (This is just an example, exact car/track combinations will be revealed at least a week before each round). After that we switch to another track environment. The driver with most points across three races in a single track environment will get to choose the next environment to be used. Car/track combos for the races will be published at least a week before the event date.
If you have any questions regarding the series format or anything related to it, feel free to ask questions either in this thread or in our Discord channel.

Rules:
We will use the Rules of Clean Racing with the following clarifications and additions:
O-1: substantial overlap = front axle must be at least half-way alongside
O-2: a cars witdth of space on raceable surface is considered enough
L-3: lapping car has to make an overtaking move, lapped car may not defend in any way
P-2: no more than 2 wheels allowed to cross the pit exit line
To be allowed to race, you must submit a valid laptime during the qualifying or have previously scored at least one point in our events before. This is to keep random late joiners from prolonging the race start as we have to keep our schedule because of the live broadcasts from every race. For additional protection against late joiners and server hoppers, the password is set to race after end of qualifying.
Track limits are defined by raceable surfaces that include everything except grass, dirt and walls. At least 2 wheels must be on a raceable surface at all times.
Any incident reports should be posted in this thread or in our discord server. The deadline for reports is 24 hours after the race start.
