After the good success of the Retro Trophy Special Event, the RETRO Summer Series have come!
This will fix your mondays in this long & hot Summer.


What's better than a good, old sweat in the raceseat, while pushing at the limits some of the coolest vintage cars of Live For Speed?


5 races, from early July to mid August
Every monday, to fill in your Summer needs of old style racing!


The series doesn't need any signups ||
Similar to RFTR, you can come in the server before or during quali and join the event!
However, the more rounds you compete in, the more chances you have to win the overall standings!

Server will be passworded before the race start, so nobody casual can join mid-race.





MULTICLASS CHAMPIONSHIP! --------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Multi-class Championship, with 3 main categories to choose from.
Pick your class, and compete for the overall standings in your serie!


Prototype |

Beta 11 F12 (based on the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33)


P2
Wessex R74SP (based on the Porsche 936)


Gran Turismo |

Fraud 060 (based on the classic Ford GT40)
Cammera 730 Turbo (based on the 80's Porsche Turbo)
Piran Firefly 300 (based on 70-80's american races)












* YOU CAN change class from one race to another, but obviously it's not ideal if you want to compete for a good position in the standings.

** You MUST race with the car which you qualified. If not,then it's illegal equippment and driver earns serious penalties.
1 minute penalty in the race results for the first offence, disqualification from the event at the second attempt, ban at third.

*** Police configuration is forbidden in the Cammera Porsche.




EVENT FORMAT --------------------------------------------------------------------


Event itself consists of a 60 minute qualifying session followed by a 90 minutes long race, so that the dynamics of endurance with the traffic, the strategies etcc can come out in play.

REGARDING REJOIN --------------------------------------------------------------------

People who will time out from the server can rejoin, and all the race laps completed will be added back in the final results.
However: you will lose one lap if the rejoin is earlier than 1 minute after completion of last lap.
More generally, if the rejoin is before reaching 1st split,then lap lost,as you cannot gain any advantage from that.




GENERAL RULES --------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler - click to reveal

Rules:
We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race,so any action will be made only after protest while all retirements will be investigated automatically. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best fair resolution or punishment if needed.

Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
> Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times. Track is mostly marked by white lines,while also curbs count towards track. Overtaking outside track limits counts as illegal and will be penalized in case of a protest.
> Contacts - have to be avoided at all costs as always when racing open wheel cars,that includes also bumpdrafting.
> Pit exit - pit exit lines will have to be respected - drivers may not cross the pit exit line with more than 2 wheels and have to make way for cars racing at full speed. Failing to comply with this rule will award them with 10s penalty,while causing incidents will result in bigger penalty. Pit entry lines will not be monitored,they serve just as guidelines.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given! Any in server present observers/spectators are not allowed to chat at all during race session!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection and high ping,he will not be allowed to participate at the current round.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.

Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions,like illegal passing,pit exit line violation,too much chatting.
> 30s added to finish time - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences,illegal passing.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 2 and 3) - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.
