Overview
Welcome to DRL's Special, Holiday event: Jingle Bells, Indy Smells! Brought to you by the endless pestering by DRL faithful, "Short Round". Following the conclusion of the DRL 2024 World Challenge, we will hit the brickyard one last time to wrap the 2024 calendar.
Delta Racing League is a relaxed sim racing community that emphasize discussion and friendly attitudes, where beginners and veterans alike can race together, improve, banter, and - most importantly - have fun with a hobby we all share!
This event will require drivers be verified on Discord for participation. So, please join the DRL Discord server, become familiar with our #rules, and check "Channels & Roles" within the DRL Discord to assign the Endurance role.
DRL requires all drivers have a minimum SA requirement of 50.
If the grid is full, we will remove unverified teams to make space for those on the waitlist who have been verified.
SERVER DETAILS
Server: [drlna] Delta Racing League - Jingle Bells, Indy Smells | 3hr Enduro
Password: See Discord Endurance Server-Info for the server password on the day of the race.
We expect a mix of drivers from around the world and everyone is welcome to participate. However, we do require your connection to be strong enough to not cause dangerous lagging for other drivers. Be sure to log into the practice server prior to the event start to see if latency is tolerable.
RULES AND RACING STANDARDS
Please check the #rules channel in the discord a link to the rulebook.
There will be live stewarding for this event. Delta Racing League uses ACC Race Control developed by Leonard Schรผngel. The program allows stewards to review all incidents of contact between cars on track. This will greatly help out solo driver teams who previously have been unable to submit incident reports while driving.
Team and Class Regestration
Registration is easy, if you are driving solo - Iron Driver. If you are registering together as a team - Duos.
- Duos: All teams will be registered under the Duos classification.
- Iron Driver: All solo drivers, regardless of driver classification.
FORMAT
- 40 minute Practice session
- 20 minute Qualification session (driver swaps allowed)
- 3 hour Race.
The start of the 40min Practice session is the posted time for the event, ergo the actual race will start roughly 1 hour after. Teams will have 50 dry tire sets to be used across practice, qualification, and race. Maximum driver stint time will be 50 minutes (ensuring a 3 stop minimum) with Teams limited to 1-2 drivers each.
ENDURANCE RACES
As we hope most of you are aware, there are some peculiarities with ACC endurance racing. Specifically, it is vital that drivers join in the correct order, with the starting driver (driver #1) joining the server before anyone else. If you fail to do so, you break your entry in the server and you won't be able to participate in the race. If this is your first endurance race, please read up on instructions and you should be fine. Note however that we will not restart the server to reset your entry if you break it.
Custom Liveries
DRL Manages Liveries through the Awesome-Simracing app. Instructions on how to upload and download liveries is provided here. Please adhere to DRL's Code of conduct rules when designing your livery. When in doubt - if it isn't PG-13, leave it out.
