Car selection is free. However, admins can refuse a car to a given driver if he is judged too fast for it or if his simracing level is unknown.

Each driver must keep the same car for the duration of the championship. Changing of car will be tolerated under exceptional circumstances only.

A driver missing two races in a row without any explanation on the forum, will have his car freed and made available for someone else to book.

Championship Rules

The championship will be run over 7 meetings. Each meeting will feature a single race of 45 to 60 minutes depending on events.

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.

Points System

The first six of each class will receive the following points : 9-6-4-3-2-1. All the starting cars will be classified and are eligible for points.

There will be one drivers’ championship combining the points from the two classes. All results will count at the end of the season (no dropped scores).

Event Schedule

All meetings will be held on Wednesday nights (all times given as CET)

Starts will be given flying, after one formation lap.

Race Start Procedure

Once the green lights show, this will 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. Excessive 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

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.

Are we going to be allowed for qualy/soft tyres, since not all the cars/teams has one?

and one other question...
the engines are named: 24hrs, 1000km and qualy ones.. so, which of those are allowed to use (except qually which is clear).

thank you

You can use any tire you want. We saw in the DRM that running softs may mean you have to pit if you push too much. Qualifying tires will only be good for a few laps.

Engines, you can use any you want apart from Grand Prix and Qualifying engines.

didnt found any possibility to change engine or tyres

The engines (if you have any other options) are in the upgrades menu.

The tire choices are in the car setup screen. You may have just hards tires so you have no other options.

No pit stop?

Nope.

I wanted to reinstall Rfactor and it's mod for the new season of racing... and when i tried downloading the Physics update and such it says 'Invalid request. Privoxy doesn't support FTP.'
