NDRC: 00 J. Palmer

LFSBC drivers shall color their car numbers yellow, NDRC drivers shall color their car numbers blue. You are to select no color (furthest right color button) for the rest of your name.

The Race will start via Standing Start.

The Safety Car Will wait at the exit of the final turn at the start before going to pitlane to remain on standby for the remainder of the race. It will not move to pitlane until all cars have completed the first turn without incident. After all cars are past Turn 2, and no deployment is needed, the SC will quickly head to pitlane, and enter pitlane and wait on standby at the end of pitlane. The SC should be clear of the course before the field completes the middle sector.

The SC will travel at approximately pitlane speed throughout the course, only slowing for natural slow points. The SC will be an FXR for this round. Drivers should remember SC distance regulations: The leader must remain around 8 to 10 car lengths off the SC, and drivers must leave about 3 to 5 car lengths between their car and the car ahead. Incidents due to following too close may be deemed to be caused by neglect, and a harsher penalty issued.

During SC deployments, the SC Inlap indication will come when the SC is between turns 7 and 10. At this point, it will begin to accelerate away, and the leader is expected to maintain SC pace, and is not to begin accelerating until it exits the final turn.

The track image indicating approximate Intermediate locations and turn numbers, as we reference them will be posted soon. Please use those in any protests you may make.

Please do not make protests in this tread, there will be a thread created for that after the race has been completed.

There may be a layout for the race. It will be posted as soon as possible if one will be in use.

Here's a quote coming from the PM I recieved 20 minutes ago :

Quote from JO53PHS :
We would like as many drivers as possible to participate in this round. Failing to turn up because you cannot be bothered or forgot is not acceptable. If you do no longer wish to participate, please inform us.

I personnally attended to only 1 of the 3 last rounds, but to make it clear, I do not fall in any of the 2 categories mentioned above. The fact is that I'm still interrested by this league, but can't attend often to it, because I'm also signed-up in bigger leagues running on Saturdays.

I hope you understand. Good luck with that anyway.

It's aimed at those who just don't turn up, not those who actually genuinely have something else to do

i.e, not aimed at you

Hmm... By the way, does that make a problem if I come just before my qualifying session? Because I'm going to race the Race 1 of the OWRL FBM Trophy, which will end only around 20:35.

before or after your qualifying session?
Quote from buck77 :before or after your qualifying session?

Oh well... Sorry for the confusion, I was speaking in CET. So, I meant 18:30 UTC.
