Race Start Procedure

Due to the chronic disconnects some have experienced at the start of past races, we are going to try something in today's race.  If a car or cars drop from the grid at the start of the formation lap, we will restart the weekend, proceed to warmup, re-enter the grid formation manually and try the start again.  So we won't eat up lots of time doing this, the traditional recon procedure will not be used.

Due to the time constraints of those in Europe who work the next day, we will only use this measure once, if at all. 
Hopefully this will help those who have connection issues make the start.

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.

I intend to kick ass and take names

whatever that means

Of the one offs available which one is recommended?

Fast and easy to drive is preffered, but rarely one in the same....

If I remember correctly, the Martini is simple to drive, but not quick.

Present.

IMO, the Martini might not be that quick, but it should still be the best out of the three available cars.

...or maybe it's just Arnoux being that good

Hmmmm I may wait to see if one of the fast cars open up as being free for the race..

Server will be down during the GoldStar race today, FYI
