Race Start Procedure

--> Reconnaissance Laps <--

Once the reconnaissance laps procedure is over and everybody is on the grid, the green lights giving the start will be shown. This will however be the signal for the beginning of our formation lap, which drivers will cover at low speed (around 150 kph / 90 mph). Do not overtake, stay packed, no more than 2 or 3 car lengths between each car. Zigzaging to warm up your tires is not allowed.

After the last turn, cars will keep rolling at reduced speed in the starting grid formation, so remember your side of the grid.
When the leading car will be in sight of the start/finish line, an admin will give the real start of the race by typing "GREEN FLAG" in the chat.

Overtake before crossing the start/finish line is allowed.

Before the green flag, drivers should remain in a grid formation, as shown below :



Training Server

A training server running on the next scheduled track will be online permanently. Password : hso88

Behaviour on track

A few behaviour rules :

- 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.

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.

Here is the correct route through Woodcote for this event. (Green Arrow)



If anyone does miss the chicane (Red Arrow) you must back off and give back any advantage you gained. If not penalties shall be given the the culprits after the race.

Sounds fantastic. Will surely sign up.

Just noticed that I put my family name without capital letter, shall I fix it? Will appear two times in the hotlaps page, but in turn won't give a duplicate in the driver database

Im not 100% sure Alberto, Just edit the plr file and it will probably just overwrite it! But like I said, I'm not totally sure, Frank or Martin can advise you more when they return. Sorry mate

This would be great if I could do more than the last 2 races

Yes better to edit it please No biggie about having a duplicate in the hotlap, but would be more of a pain re the site's database ^^

No, if you mean by following the red arrow, The Green arrow is the correct route

no , following the green arrow but cut the last corner !!

I get what you mean now, Sorry my bad, You mean where that big kerb is, No you cannot completly cut it.

In other words, 2 wheels on that cerb, no more.


Also, is there any other download links than those of MegaUpload as I can't download the mod from there but I'm really wanting to give it a try and have a chance at taking part in future events (this championship is sadly not possible for me)?

guess we need to make clear if we will be there? (because this went up before car booking opened)

if so i'm there !

You can't cut it but if you manage to do it while actually gaining time, you will at least have my admiration

Yes please, people attending the race shall post here, but it's no problem to wait a bit more until the race is closer in case you can't tell already.

I will be there

Great, But just a note, A quote from the "Rules thread"

Richard Coxon wrote:

The qualifying or Grand Prix engines upgrades will not be allowed, whether in practice, qualifying or race session. Drivers breaking this rule will be disqualified from the event.

I spotted your ultra quick lap time Checked the xml from the session you was in and you were using the "Grand Prix" engine. I'm informing you now before the race so that you do not use it in the race, If you do you will be disqualified.


Let this be a reminder to all of you that the Qualifying and Grand Prix engines are not allowed

You Tell em Bud

Aha, thanks for pointing that out! Qualifying tires then?

Anyway, I'm driving a pink car, so it will be super fast nontheless.

Tires are ok to use, Just not the engines, Only 1000Km or 24hr Engines.

And poor Jacob had chosen that car just because it had a GP engine

Présent

What does my car look like from above?

Spoiler:

Anyway, engine choice for DFV cars is not uninteresting. The LM spec has much more torque, which will come in handy in the slow section. And fuel consumption is important.
