Race Start Procedure

The race will commence via a rolling start behind the rFactor-controlled pace car in eleven rows of three (500 mile race format).

Drivers are advised to conduct the pace laps in second gear; higher gears produce more turbocharger lag, making it more difficult to maintain grid position.

The rFactor server will be giving instructions for a two-wide start.  These instructions should be ignored, HOWEVER, drivers must adhere to a slightly staggered formation to guard against rFactor assessing stop and go penalties for passing before the green.



After one pace lap, the rFactor-controlled pace car will duck into the pits, and the race will commence once the green flag is announced (passing can then occur regardless of where cars are on the track).

 
Full Course Yellow Procedure (En français en dessous)

This series will see the appearance of the Full Course Yellow procedure. When rFactor judges that a situation is risky (a car stopped on the track, a spin on a speedway etc..), he will throw a Yellow Flag. From the time this Yellow Flag is thrown, overtaking is forbidden, but if you have doubt about your position, rFactor will tell you where you have to be when you will cut the start/finish line (don't deactivate in-car chat).

When the Safety Car is out, you must keep a normal pace until you reach the the line of cars behind the SC. Otherwise you'll get a penalty. Same when you exit the pitlane under yellow, you have to be quick enough to rejoin the SC.

/!\ On oval track the leader will have to be careful to not overtake the Safety Car when the latter is exiting the pitlane. /!\

Ce championnat est marqué par l'apparition de la procédure de Full Course Yellow. Quand rFactor jugera qu'une situation est à risque (une voiture arretée au mauvais endroit, un tête à queue sur un ovale) il sortira la voiture de sécurité. Une fois cette procédure lancée, il est interdit de dépasser. Si vous avez des doutes rFactor vous dira de toute façon ou vous placer une fois que vous aurez franchi la ligne de départ/arrivée (ne pas désactiver le chat dans la voiture).

Lorsque la voiture de sécurité est sortie, vous devez conserver un rythme normal jusqu'à ce que vous rejoigniez la file des voitures derrière le SC, sinon vous risquez de vous voir infliger une pénalité. Même chose lorsque vous ressortez des stands, vous ne devez pas trainer pour rejoindre la voiture de sécurité.

/!\ Sur les ovales, le leader devra faire attention à ne pas dépasser la voiture de sécurité lorsque celui ci est en train de sortir des stands. /!\


Restart Spacing Rule (En français en dessous)
 
On restarts, all cars must be no more than two car lengths apart, and single file.
Failure to observe this rule during the race could result in a post-race penalty.  

*** VF ***

Lors des restarts, toutes les voitures ne doivent pas être séparées par plus de 2 longueurs de voiture et sur la même file.
Tout manquement à cette règle peut entrainer des pénalités après course.





Pit Entry and Exit Procedures

During the race, cars entering the pits must fade left briefly on the straight between turns 2 and 3 to signal their intent to pit.  This rule will only apply if a car or cars are running immediately behind the pitting car. Failure to follow this procedure could result in a post-race penalty.

During the race, cars exiting the pits must keep all four wheels under the yellow and white lines until they exit turn 1, then they can blend into race traffic. Failure to follow this procedure could result in a post-race penalty.


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.

- If you have a spin on the course, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure the track is sufficiently clear before you rejoin the race.

- Respect the red condition in 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.


One-off drives available

Please note: Cars with red numbers are capable of 1000 bhp; the admins reserve the right to withhold them from a driver if they are judged to be too fast for them, or if their simracing level is unknown.

Since this is a 500 mile race, we have elected to give everyone two weeks of server time to prepare

#73 please

Could I possibly have Mr. Donahue's #66?

If not that, the maybe Ziggy's #84.

i originally asked for the #35 in this post, but after testing i'd rather have the #84 coyote if abat wants a different car.

Can I have the #15 McLaren please?

Can i have the #84 Coyote?

I have no idea what i´m asking for to be honest

#97 and #30 are better choices. The first one is quicker, the second one is easier to drive.

Ah, 17th, almost thought, you are seriously going for the day of the EC finale

Then I'm going to

Abat, have you thought further about what you would like to drive?

I´ll stick with the Coyote. Glad to know my instinct to detect subpar drives still works perfectly

I'm in.

I assume there is no chance of getting plowed by the pace car on this track?

Thanks for this opportunity to test this track for a two weeks. Because i have the whole week before the race a holiday i need to tune the setups within next week and so i can to participate the race. Im in.

You are safe  we have made the pace car non-collidable

I just noticed that the #30 Jerry Karl Eagle-Chevy for round 6 has the wrong nose.

I should have known that...Sorry.

Yup, Jerry Karl crunched the car in the actual race weekend, and he borrowed a front wing from the Mike Hiss team.
