It is mandatory for every driver to join our Discord and to change their server nickname to their real name (last name is optional). So we can identify the driver on the grid with the Discord user.
Time schedule: Free Practice 75 minutes, Qualifying 30 minutes and the Race 60, 75 or 90 minutes.
You can find the start time at the event details. The race server will start at that time and can be found by looking for it in the ACC server list. You can find the server password on the race overview page.
PRO/AM split: Drivers will be split based on their SimGrid grid rating. If you have rating of 2001 or more you'll race in the PRO class. A grid rating of 2000 and lower will race in the AM class. If you fall into the AM class and would prefer to race in the PRO class please let us know and we'll move you, this is assuming that your grid rating is relatively close to the 2001 grid rating mark. The reason for this is that we want to keep the grid ratings in a given class as balanced as possible so that everyone has an equal chance to gain rating. We want to prevent certain drivers always losing rating or drivers never be able to gain rating because the grid rating spread is so big in a given class.
Qualifying: This will be split into two 15 minute sessions. AM drivers can set their time in the first 15 minutes of the session. This will then be followed by the Pro drivers who can set their time in the second half of the qualifying session.
Pitstop: A pitstop is mandatory, refuelling is mandatory but tyre changes are not. There is no pit window.
Weather: Races will either use fixed weather or variable weather. The practice server will be configured with the same weather that applies to the race weekend.
Balance of Performance: We use LFM BoP for our GT3 cars.
Custom Liveries: These are allowed. Get creative! We will share a Google Drive link in our Discord for livery uploads.
Car Choice: Once the season has started, you cannot change your car selection and / or start number so choose wisely.
Stewarding: The first 10 laps for all cars and drivers will be reviewed after the race by our stewarding team. Incidents that happen from lap 11 onwards can be reported by the driver involved and will be reviewed by our stewards during their weekly meeting. Our aim is to improve the quality of the racing and we've seen great improvements since we implemented this system. An overview of our rules can be found here
Withdrawals: When you can't attend a race please use the withdrawal function for that race. 3 withdrawals are allowed in a season. If you don't use the withdrawal option, you will get 5 penalty points. At 10 penalty points you will be automatically disqualified from the championship.
Drop Score: There will be 2 Drop Scores in a season. This means your 2 worsts results will not count for the championship standings.
Practice and Pre-Qualifying server with live results: Check out Racingleague.net for the best times from our practice server!
Discord: All drivers must join our Discord server. Our Discord server is the main channel of communication between us as organisers and you the drivers.
