Please remember: Chatting is prohibited on the server during qualifying and race.

Qualifying
During qualifying all drivers will be able to complete as many laps as they wish. However, a team needs at least one timed lap to be allowed to start the race. During the qualifying practice session only one driver of any competing team shall be on server and on track at any time.

Race
The grid departs just after the final hairpin in two-by-two formation. The NGTRs may depart with the green lights, while the LRF class will be given a seperate signal. The field shall accelerate to 80kph (49mph). Overtaking is allowed with the Green-Flag-Message, that is given to each class seperately. Please be careful on the approach to the first braking zone, as the chicane is narrow and no race has been won yet on the first lap.

The balance of performance for OEC V is done via minimum pit stop times. That means that the aggregate time you are standing in the pit box needs to be greater or equal the following times:

Important, the timing stops once you've moved. So if you accidentally move when it says "finished" and stop and wait again in the pits, it does not count. Keep that in mind!

Please remember, there are NO Safety Cars, NO restarts. Rejoins are allowed at anytime but result in the loss of one lap, including rejoins due to connection loss.

I hope you will have a fun race nonetheless.

I lost that race, in Argentina 21/06 was the father's day and I stay with my childs.

See you next date!

While definately not perfect (i.e. rejoins are not really implemented in this correctly), I think this gives a general feel about the race



With more cars joining the LRF class the next couple of rounds, I intend to release such graphs there as well.

Oh this is such a nice graph to analyze! Thilo you are doing an amazing job with this statistical analysis, both for the results and the balancing. The amount of info you're taking in and how well you process it is amazing. This is coming from a scientist who's used to crunching tons of data and giving it in a nice form .

It is impressive isn't it. Bring on round 2 next weekend!

Thank you!

Hightlights from round one of OEC5. Sign ups are still open for round 2!
