OVERVIEW
Welcome to Delta Racing League! We are a PC-based ACC community that is open to beginners and more advanced racers alike, with an emphasis on developing consistency and sound racecraft over mere outright pace. We welcome those with a friendly attitude, who like to talk racing with a bit of banter mixed in, those who want to race together, improve together, and most importantly, have fun with a hobby we all share!
To participate in this championship Drivers need to be verified on our official Discord, so please join the DRL Discord server and make sure you follow instructions in #readme-and-rules to get the correct role. This requires an SA of at least 50.
If the grid is full, we will remove unverified drivers to make space for those on the waitlist who have been verified. The Entry list is updated the night before the race; late joins are at the discretion of the stewards. Please sign-up at least 24 hours before the race to insure your participation.
Wet hot american series
DRL is taking a break from its scheduled World Challenge to bring you the Wet Hot American Series! This summer break we are bringing two American classics on the grid for a multi-class, spec series. The iconic Ford Mustang (GT3) and Chevrolet Camaro (GT4) will cover four consecutive tracks over the course of June, leading up to the 4th of July.
(Points accumulated from this series will not count towards the World Challenge. Unless stated/shared otherwise in the DRL Discord at a later date.)
BROADCASTS
We expect to bring as many live race broadcasts to the Delta Racing League Youtube Channel as possible this season. Follow the on-track action each week and interact with our broadcaster(s) and fellow community members!
SERVER DETAILS
Server: [drlna] Delta Racing League WHAS |
Password: See Discord Sprint Series (NA) #race-day-info for the server password on the day of the race. You need to have the driver role to see this channel in discord, see above.
The server will restart an hour before Qualifying. During the week prior to the race, the server will be used as a practice server with settings comparable to those during the race. We will also publish a forecast that will give you a good idea of what the Race Weekend weather should look like. See 🔵-race-day-info-🔵 for details.
The NA server is located in The Midwest/Chicago area. Anyone is welcome to participate but we do require your ping to be sub-300 to avoid dangerous latency.
Balance of Performance
LOW FUEL MOTORSPORT HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO MAKE THEIR BALANCE OF PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. CAR DIVERSITY IS AMAZING IN ACC AND WE HOPE REIGNING IN THE BOP CHASING WILL HELP DIVERSIFY THE GRID.
FORMAT
This season's championship consists of Four races. Qualifying starts at 8PM ET / 5PM PT. The server will be restarted one hour before qualifying with a 1-hour practice session. The server is available throughout the week as a practice, with weather and time settings that will be used on the race weekend.
The races well be held according to the following formats:
SPRINT
- 21-minute Qualifying (10min GT4 then GT3 split)
- 60-minute Race with a mandatory stop for fuel and tires (1x Pts)
- This is to keep the league more beginner friendly and allow drivers to recover from early incidents
SELECTING YOUR Classification
This season, we will have GT3 and GT4 splits. Drivers will compete in their respective car classification, not driver classification. Again, we will not be splitting drivers between AM and Pro divisions for this series.
ABOUT LIVERIES AND NUMBERS
- As is now "custom"ary, we will allow the use of external-to-ACC custom liveries. DRL is now using the Awesome Sim Racing application to manage liveries. Follow the instructions in our Discord to add your livery to the appropriate DRL Collection.
- Drivers are also free to use custom in-game liveries, as well as IRL liveries.
- Drivers who are teaming up together must have similar liveries that clearly identify them as being on the same team.
- Racing numbers are first come, first served. SimGrid allows for duplicate numbers across classes (even Pro and Am) and we will change numbers as-needed if there are duplicates. To avoid this, just pay attention to the numbers when you are signing up. :)
