Sporting Regulations

Cars

All the cars of the HS0 1972 Formula 5000 mod are allowed. Addon skins are not allowed.
Car choice is free. However the administrator can refuse to grant a driver a car that -he thinks- is too fast for him. In this case, the driver will have to choose another car.
Changing of car during the championship will be tolerated under exceptional circumstances only. Also, in the event of a driver announcing his absence to a given race, his car will not be made available for another driver.
Please book your car in the dedicated thread.

Training Server

A training server running on the next scheduled track will be online permanently. Password : hso72

Point rules

Points are awarded to the first six finishers on the following scale : 9-6-4-3-2-1. Only drivers which have covered at least 90% of the laps covered by the race winner will be classified. Whenever 90% of the total number of laps result in a number with decimals, the decimals will be disregarded.
All results will be counted at the end of the series. Two drivers tied in final points will be split by the quality of their race finishing positions.

The races

Planning

Races will be held on Wednesday evenings (all times given being CET, Paris Time) :

8:00pm - Qualifying session (60 minutes, unlimited number of laps)
9:00pm - Warm Up
9.15pm - Start of the race

Race server password : hso72

Qualifying

The starting grid for the race will be determined by the 60-minute qualifying session held immediately before the race.
Each Tasman race is limited to the first 28 drivers of the qualifying session. However, would 1 or 2 drivers wound up as non-qualifiers, they would be allowed to take the start. Therefore, the maximum number of cars starting a Tasman race will be of 30. On the other hand, would at least 6 drivers wound up as non-qualifiers, a consolation race would be held on a second server. This consi race would be held on half the distance of the championship race and would of course not award points of any sort.

Race Starts

Starts will be given standing, after one formation lap.

Behavior on Track

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.
- A driver who would have to do a drive through penalty will have to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph), even if there is no pit lane speed limit announced for the track. A driver failing to respect this will get a 40s penalty added to his final race time.
- Shortcuts : a driver gaining a position after shortcutting a turn is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his final race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track. For those who would ignore it, the definition of "the track" is the black strip of tarmac making the circuit layout .

Application and Interpretation of the Regulations

The admins alone are qualified to solve any problems raised by the application and the interpretation of the present regulations.

Est-ce qu'il faudra s'arrêter aux stands pour faire le plein ou changer les pneus ?
Autrement dit, est-ce que nous partons tous avec le plein ou l'on fait comme on veut ?

Il n'y a pas de pitstops prévus, sauf en cas d'usure excessive des pneus. Le ravitaillement en fuel est très pénalisant en temps, ça ne vaut pas le coup de partir avec un demi-plein, surtout sur des courses aussi courtes .

merci Carlo

Mi dispiace ma forse avrò bisogno di cedere la mia auto, visto che i mie tempi non saranno mai tra i primi 20/30 qualificati, sia per motivi di presenza sul server, (non sono mai puntuale per le qualifiche causa orario di lavoro) ed anche perchè sono lento in pista.
è possibile che io resti fuori dalla gare sempre!
Anche perchè occupo un posto a chi potrebbe fare meglio di me.
Anyway this rule dont like me sorry!

I'm sorry but I'll need to sell my car, since my time laps will never be among the first 20/30 qualified both for reasons of presence on the server, (have never punctual for qualifications because working time) and also because im slow on the track.
It could be that I always remains out of the race!

Also because I occupy a place who could do better than me.
Anyway this rule dont like me sorry!

Gianluca there won't be more than 30 drivers in all races, there're always lots of drives in the first race of a series but there are always drivers who leaves the series after that, that will give you your place on the grid.

You worked on this mod and you'll not do the championship ?... Sound strange to me.

Stay with us Gianluca, like Gui said you will have your place. There is a lot of races left.

Pierre and Gui you was very gentle with me, thanks so much.

I think if for the next races we will not over 30 drivers, this rule can not be useful, (anyway i can see for the next races we can be over 30 drivers for same races and i wait to make the race)
Some days first the race i had try the Chevron B24 car and this car it is more fast then mine, my time was the 30' time, now if my car are just slow i cant make never the 30's lap time.
And if this rule are necessary for tecnical issue (server prob for example) it was ok but if this was not the problem, I still think this rule is not useful.

Take free my car thanks, if possible, later, I could still ask the car.
Now I'm wait for another camp here.

Thanks.

How about you switch to the last Lola T300 available ? It's a much faster car than yours...

No thanks Frank, I can hold my own car, Matich A50 n°25.

Sorry guys for my arguments, I got caught because of a bad feeling to stay out of the race.

Au final, le problème c'est les enfants.

Je dis pas le contraire, c'est juste que Pascal faisait une remarque par rapport à l'heure de début des qualifs.
