A training server will be running 24/7 (same password).

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

ALSO:
Drivers who have a WEC car CANNOT use the LM version of their car. 
Drivers breaking this rule will be disqualified from the event.


Start Procedure :

- Cars will be placed on the grid when the drivers click "race" 

- After the countdown is over, the field will do one pace 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. Zig-zaging 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.

I'll be there, would be rude not too!

this is gonna be good! Seriously, should be a very interesting race. I'm so in

We spent a fair amount of hours working on the track to make the real full circuit usable with the Südkurve (South loop), so the guys with the powerful CK5s and such had a better chance against the 956s and we all enjoyed a more historical race. This is really going to be a speed orgy, the quickest track after Le Mans probably

Don't forget the Sehcar BMW, The most powerful car on the grid but it is a nightmare to drive in a straight line in this mod.

i dont know its me but when i try in singleplayer a raceweekend with several ai the game crashes CTD

This track is intended for online use, not offline with AI.

The average speed in 1983 was 232kph.

Francois will be serving his suspension...get it while it's hot. CK5 is not bad at all here. Very high top speed. Yes a bit of an issue under hard braking but rolling the front wheels back helps a ton.

I'll still spin my CK5 on lap one

Well who wants to hear my very sad experimentation news....

Online running about 6 or 7 laps and actually adjusting it, my best lap in the Harrier is a 2:27.xxx Top Spead will not go over 154ish.

Offline:

#115 CK5 2:07.xxx Top Speed in Full Boost.....205

Duret DeCadenet Lola 2:15.xxx........188ish.

Group B BMW M1 2:20.xxx................188ish...


These offline laps are my first timed lap with the Default setup, all I did was take the final Drive up 2 notches and dropped the rear wing as low as it would go, except the CK5, I left it at 1.

The Group B car is Considerably FASTER than MY C Junior car!!!

Can I just drive the BMW??

Also, how do you stop the car from wandering? I've tried the Caster but it doesn't seem to be working.

No on the BMW.  The Entry list is the entry list.

Try lessening the turning radius, that may make the car wander less.

Not a lot you can do with the fixed setups. Try loads of toe in front and rear (Specially rear) and as little steering angle as allows you barely making the tightest turn.
