We're proud to host the broadcast for the race on our own twitch channel! See the above link on raceday for the stream
Live stewarding
We
have live stewarding for the session with stewards on
hand to keep an eye on proceedings as well as dish out penalties as/when
required. For those interested, we will make use of the iRacing Live Stewarding App to achieve this. We are using our own ruleset that we expect all drivers to (see our Rules here).
For the smooth running of the event, we will not be making use of
full-course yellow nor deploying the safety car for the duration of the
race.
CUSTOM LIVERIES
We love to see custom paints used in our races! To this end we advice for drivers/teams to use liveries from Trading Paints or upload their own on there since our broadcast will be using TP as
well - do sort out your liveries through this tool if you wish to see
your car's paint on the stream. Naturally, as this is iRacing, we urge
people to abide by the iRacing rules and not pick paints that fall foul
of them (i.e. nsfw/offensive/politically charged liveries). We reserve
the right to remove offending teams from the race if need be.
