Race Start Procedure and Full Course Yellow (En français en dessous)

The start will be given flying behind the game-controlled pace-car.

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. At the same time the pitlane will be closed. It will be open again after one full lap behind the Safety Car. Pitting while the pits are closed is permissible in cases of serious damage (wing missing) or having less than one lap of fuel left. 

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. /!\

Le départ sera un départ lancé qui aura lieu derrière une voiture de sécurité contrôlée par l'ordinateur. 

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. Au moment la voie des stands sera fermée. Elle sera réouverte après un tour complet derrière la voiture de sécurité.  S'arrêter aux stands alors qu'ils sont fermés est autorisé dans les cas de dégats importants (aileron manquant) ou de niveau d'essence ne permettant pas de couvrir un tour de plus.

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 back straight 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 white and yellow lines until they exit turn 2, 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 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.

  
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.

The unique GDB for this race includes the pits-closed rule. The AIW is also improved by Dana

Will there be a new Hot Lap page for the Bettenhausen Race?

I'll be there

What is a GDB and AIW?

The .gdb file is a settings file for the track. It sets the track name, number of laps etc, and track lighting.
The .AIW file is the ai waypoints file which tells the ai where to drive and set pitstop and grid positions.

Gonna be there Have to reinstall rFactor though after severe problems on startup ;_;
