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. On PS5 - TC_WhiteRider On PS4 - WozEFC / Tony2time AKA Voodooacid
Signup
All drivers must read and accept the OTL Racing Rules.
Anyone who has not raced with us before must take part in the evaluation round at the start of the league. If you want to take part please sign up to the league and join OTL Racing discord. Message TC_WhiteRider on discord after you sign up. Anyone who fails to contact me or to attend the evaluation race will be removed from the league.
In this league there are two splits. The field will be separated between PS4 and PS5 players. The PS5 version of ACC is currently too bugged to use for a league, so both splits will start out using the PS4 version of the game. When the PS5 version is fixed the PS5 split will switch to that. Please sign up to the appropriate split for the console that you are playing on.
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.
