OVERVIEW
The next sprint series to come out of SOP Motorsport is here for Springtime. You must join our DISCORD This championship will feature 6 rounds from around the world. We will have a Gold class (40 drivers) and a SILVER class (40 drivers) in this series so we can crown two champions and have two separate championship battles, as well as the overall champion from the one series. It will be down to the driver to pick the class they think they belong in. But we reserve the right to move drivers either up a class or down a class depending on the overall pace of the class both before round 1 and after round 1, with the relevant points being applied as to where they would have finished should the driver move.
REGISTRATION The first 40 drivers to register in each split will secure a slot in the series. We will allow up to 10 reserves for each split in this championship too and so if registration is full, take one of the reserve spots in the class you believe you should be in and you will be moved into a permanent spot if a driver withdraws
EVENT TIMETABLE Practice - 20:00 UTC (10 minutes) Qualifying - 20:10 UTC (20 minutes) Race - 20:40 UTC (30/60/90 minute races)
PIT STOPS AND STINTS Every 60&90 minute round will require one mandatory stop for tyres & fuel, every 30 minute race will require no pit stops
STEWARDING This series will adopt post-race stewarding only. Which can be found under the specific race of each round only.
RULES This series will impose a balance of performance based on how popular a specific car is regardless of whether you are in the GOLD or SILVER class. The BOP will be as follows per split.
-10 or more cars on the grid: 25kg ballast
-8 or more cars on the grid: 20kg ballast
-6 or more cars on the grid: 15 kg ballast
-4 or more cars on the grid: 10kg ballast
This will be reviewed every two rounds to ensure it remains a fair popularity ballast if drivers drop out of the series.
CUSTOM LIVERIES Applicable to Gold split only. The use of custom liveries made outside of the game are permitted in this sprint series but please bear in mind that they are not officially supported by the game developers and their use can induce significant lag for the user. Any politically charged or potentially offensive material on a custom livery will see that driver banned from the series. To avoid the significant lag that custom liveries bring, we suggest that drivers run the livery but without the .png file. and that they do not load any other drivers livery into their own pc.
WITHDRAW AND RESERVES If a driver is unavailable to attend a round in the championship, then use the withdraw function. This is found by clicking on the `Races` tab, and then `Admin` on the round you need to withdraw from. There you will find the withdraw button. Please check the info tab to see how many sign-outs are permitted. If a driver has withdrawn from a race, but wish to attend the race after all, please contact a member of staff as the slot may have already been filled by a reserve driver.
