Race type: Race has many special regulations. First of all, only AI-drivers are allowed to participate. Secondly, server will be protected with password for whole event. Also, for all drivers, one AI-driver has to use FXO GTR (FXR), another must use XR GTR (XRR) and third one must use FZ50 GTR (FZR) during event. Finally, drivers must use both GTR- and GT2-class. Drivers can choose freely, which GTR-cars go to GTR-class and which go to GT2-class. All this is possible because maximum amount of AI-drivers per guest on server is 3.
Please note that as a new rule, FZ50 GTR now has 1% intake restriction as well 15kg added mass.
Restrictions for GT2-cars are:
- FXO GTR (FXR): 23% intake restriction
- XR GTR (XRR): 24% intake restriction
- FZ50 GTR (FZR): 20% intake restriction

Minimum license: S2
Schedule (all times are in UTC+3):
- 16:10: Server will be password protected
- 16:15: Qualifying begins and lasts 90 minutes. It is divided into 3 parts. First two lasts 35 minutes and final one lasts 20 minutes. For first 35 minutes, only GTR-class is allowed to drive, for the next 35 minutes, only GT2-class may drive. For final 20 minutes, both classes may drive.
Because AI-drivers extremely likely will return to the pitlane when they're on lap 4 during qualifying, you can return them back on track by two ways:
If you're Admin: Use command /pitlane [AI-driver's name] or
If you're Admin or Guest: Use command /spec [AI-driver's name] and then command /ai [AI-driver's name]. Just make sure, that when you're typing AI-driver's name when typing /ai-command, you have to make sure, that you type it using exact same colors that it has in his/her name.
AI-drivers from both classes who get a pole position earns 4 points. 2nd fastest AI from both classes during qualifying get 2 points while 3rd fastest AI's from both classes get 1 point.
- 17:45: Qualifying ends and Warm-up/Briefing begins. During this session, make sure that you have your AI's on track and they're using right setups and have right amount of restrictions. Also at this moment, drivers will be guessing, which AI-skill level from each class earns most points in race itself. At this moment, SRT's stream goes live on https://www.twitch.tv/srtfinland
- 18:00: Warm-Up/Briefing ends and Race begins. Race lasts 3 hours.
Because LFS 0.6U brought new improvements to AI's, drivers can use those as their advantage with no restrictions whatsoever.
If you want your AI-driver to make pitstop on certain lap, do this:
- If you're admin: Assign a Stop 'n' Go-penalty for that AI-driver by command /p_sg [AI-driver's name] before it starts it's last sector of the lap. During last sector, before (s)he goes into pitlane, clear that penalty by command /p_clear [AI-driver's name].
- If you're guest: Ask me to give a penalty for your AI-driver as assigning penalties even for own AI-drivers is only possible for admins. Please inform me, that which AI-driver you want to go into pitlane and on which lap.
There is also possibility to give Drive-Through-penalty for your own AI-driver, if you have a faster AI-driver behind him/her. If you want your AI-driver to go into pitlane, but not for pitstop, you need to do pretty much the same thing that you do, when you want your AI-driver to make a pitstop on certain lap via Stop 'n' Go-penalty. There are two differences though:
1) You don't need to remove/clear that penalty on last sector (clearing that penalty - as long as that AI-driver is on it's last sector of the lap - does not make any harm though)
2) If you're admin: you need to type /p_dt [AI-driver's name] to assign Drive-Through-penalty instead of typing /p_sg [AI-driver's name].
As a new rule for this season, you are allowed to rescue your AI-driver if it's stuck (not flipped). As this is first race during this season, you get 10 rescue chances for whole season. However, rescuing must be done via Autocross-objects and if you force other user's AI to retire because of that, that "rescued" AI will be immediately disqualified.
- 21:00: Race ends. Drivers who are in top-3 in both classes in terms of fastest laps and are classified will get points. Drivers in each class who drives fastest lap and gets classified will earn 4 points. 2nd fastest driver from each class gets 2 points while 3rd fastest driver from both classes gets 1 point. Also, drivers who are in top-3 in both classes in terms of highest speed velocity will get points. Drivers from each class who have highest speed velocity gets 4 points, drivers from each class who have 2nd highest speed velocity gets 2 points while 3rd fastest drivers from both classes get 1 point.
And drivers who guessed right that which skill level from each class gets most points during race earn points. Naturally, the more slower skill leveled AI you guessed, the more points you get if that AI earns most points.
