Format

There will be a 5 minute 'practice' session after the server restarts at 8pm, for everyone to join the lobby.
(You may drive during this time, but please return to the pits as soon as the timer reaches zero, so that we can move on to qualifying.)
There will be a 2 minute break between R1 and Q2.

Start times, race lengths, and weather conditions will vary, as listed below.
Weather conditions will be fairly reliable most weeks, so we will know if it will be wet or dry, although still variable.

Pre-race time 3 minutes
Short formation lap
No mandatory pit stop in 30 minute races, one in 90 minute races
1x time progression (except Spa)
2020 tracks

Session times and weather conditions are subject to change, up to one week in advance

Incident Reporting

Because full race replays are not available to the host you are responsible for providing video evidence of any incidents that you are involved in.
All drivers are asked to save the video of their race using the Share Button at the end of the race.  Other drivers' videos may be used to see different angles of incidents, so please try to save if anything happened in front of you, even if you weren't involved.  Thanks.
(To increase video clip size, go to System Settings on PS Homepage > Sharing and Broadcasts > Video Clip Settings > Length of Video Clip > Select 60 Mins.)

Ideally you should also map a button to save a replay in game, and use this after any incidents.  This will save the last few minutes of action and allow you to provide a video of different camera angles if required.

To report an incident send a private message to the league admin on discord and share your video clip (e.g. on youtube) with a note of the time.  If sharing a short clip please include at least 10 seconds before and after the incident.

Signup

All drivers must read and accept the OTL Racing Rules.
Anyone who has not raced with us before will need to take part in an evaluation session prior to joining the league.  Contact TC_WhiteRider via discord to arrange this.

Withdrawing from a round

It is important to notify us if you cannot attend a race.
If you cannot attend a race you can simply click the "WITHDRAW" button in the races page of the championship on The Sim Grid website under the admin tab of the specific round.
If you fail to attend a race without withdrawing you will receive penalty points that carry over into other championships, and can potentially get you disqualified from the championship.
