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.

The track has some horrible bumps.

I believe the base is an old codemasters conversion that has been tarted up.

I'm not suggesting for this race but does anyone know of a better version of Oulton Park?
Oulton should be a joy to drive.

This is the only correct version. Layout wise, but it is the same base track as the one HSO used to use for BTCC etc.

Unless someone wants to convert the Automobilista version, we are stuck with this.

Racing.

Do you think it is the 3D geometry? Because it could be that the bumps are added in the TDF, in which case it is very easy to soften them.

I should be around, though a bit more tired than usual

I think that it is the 3D. They are jumps not small bumps.
