Car selection is free

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


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 :




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.

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.

I'll put a Lancia LC1 in the entry list just for you if you really want Yves,

But it is the 1983 version

It stands between the Lola and the EMKA now

The Lola would be quick enough for a possible win if you put the time into it but the EMKA is nicer under brakes and has that beautiful sounding Aston engine ...

Should I expect a series running these cars? If so I would chose one of them now and go with the other one in that series...

May I switch to the EMKA please, I think I'll enjoy that one more than the Lola (simply because the Lola needs a bit more time behind it to be good enough to drive, the EMKA was perfect right away as was the Grid S1 but the EMKA is nicer for my driving style on this track compared to the Grid)?

This was an incredibly difficult choice to make  

I shall put you in the EMKA

Regarding a series, it's too early to say.....

Thank you

Ok

Argh!!! trapped  

Ok, ok, Richard : the 83 LC1

Are you really sure you would like to drive it Yves, It is very very slow in a straight line. But if you really want to drive it, I will add it to the entry list.

I would recommend Lancia's newest model, The LC2

Put me down for the Grid S1 and I will try and make the race.
