Race Start Procedure

Behaviour on track

- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he 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 total 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.

- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

Note, I just noticed in at least some cases the pit stalls are backwards. Working on a fix now.   

Yes be tried a pitstop earlier today and the crew was indeed backwards Martin should be able to fix the pit stalls, due to his new super-admin super-powers . Not sure he'll be back home in time to do it for the race though   

I swear it was right offline when I tested it.   

Pit stall issue is fixed. You will need to redownload the track if you get an error when on the sever. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks mike ,It wont give u an error just was on. This track is cool. I never seen it before, good choice   

Turn 1 lap 1 can be a frame per second nightmare so I recommend turning down graphics settings for the race. Mainly opponent details.

Hotlinks Hotlaps URL now points to this race only. Mr Martin has trained me on how to properly make the links

Mmmmmmm hotlinks

  Good catch!   I was thinking hotlap link and seem to have merged it into a spicy tasty snack!   

They look rather delightful!

Dont get nothing like that over here

It is probably best, those chili peppers burn on the way in and out!   

Rest assured something like this was sold at the concession stands when the race we are running at Texas was run in '74.

Damn Mike if only the races started here at 0.00 AM I would bit the bullet and run them all, but the current schedule is too late for me. If none of the US time guys objected, it would be great to just move a bit earlier the races and many of us would for sure jump in   

I agree with Alberto, Would love to run them all but sometimes tiredness just takes over!   

If moving the time brings more entries, thats what we should do. I myself would have no problem with it as i dont work sundays, and at the rate its going now were never gonna fill the spots and have a race with only 4 cars. And yes hotlinks are awesome lol.

Mike, what do you think?   

if the race time is changed to 0:00 as Alberto Stated, That means would be 11PM here yes? Would mean i could enter most of the races under normal circumstances.

No problem here.

Travelling...sorry for the delayed reply...

Does that mean 2.5 hours earlier?

When only HSO A is running and HSO is not it is possible. If there is an HSo race it is not possible to start then.

Yes, I checked the calender and most races are compatible (And I don't think that we have the stamina to run both the same sunday anyway!). That would give us in EU time a shot at taking part in some races but would also leave other events in full US time. Sounds like a good idea to keep the US timing open for any people in the americas to join in and race, while at the same time giving more chances to the EU guys. As the season progresses and more people from the americas join, then of course you just revert to the original timing or whatever suits best the HSOA members.

I am cool with adjusting the time. The more the merrier.  

Yep
