RULES
PIT STOPS AND STINTS
The series imposes a 75 minutes driver stint limit. The stint timer stops when you enter the pitlane and is reset upon exiting the pit lane (unless you are serving a penalty). The game will automatically apply a Drive Through penalty if the stint limit is exceeded.
Each driver must drive at least one stint during each race. Teams will receive a penalty of 130 seconds if a driver does not drive a stint.
There is no maximum driver time.
There are no mandatory number of pit stops.
BOP
There will be no BoP for any car in this series.
POINTS SYSTEM
Points will be awarded to every team of each race. The points allocated for each position is 1st = 40 to 40th = 1
ABSENT TEAM MATE
This is a driver swap series where each team is required to have minimum 2 drivers at a race. However, in the event that a teammate is unavailable for a race, there are 2 options available to the team:
- Replace the unavailable driver with somebody else. #find-a-team can be used to help source a replacement driver if necessary.
- Withdraw the car from the race using the withdraw function explained further down this page.
CUSTOM LIVERIES
Custom liveries made outside of the game are permitted in this series but please bear in mind that they are not officially supported by the game's developers.
The Series will be live streamed on YouTube and Twitch and custom liveries can be shared to the stream broadcaster in a dedicated channel on discord. LIVERIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY MIDNIGHT 19TH MAY
If your team wishes to run with a custom livery the Rapid Drivers Club logo, HFG Logo and The Sim Grid logo, must be shown on your car.
Any politically charged or potentially offensive material on a custom livery will see the team banned from the series.
To avoid the significant lag that custom liveries cause, we suggest that teams run the livery but without the .png file. Do not run the liveries of other teams under any circumstances. The files are shared for use of the broadcaster only.
WITHDRAW AND RESERVES
If a team 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. Teams are permitted one withdrawal in this series. Missing a race without withdrawal will result in disqualification.
If a team has withdrawn from a race, but wish to attend the race after all, please contact a member of the Event Admin team as the slot may have already been filled by a Reserve team.
If you are a reserve team, you can see if teams have withdrawn from a round on the same "Admin" tab on each round. If you see a team has withdrawn and you wish to take their place, please contact a member of the Event Admin team.
