Qualifying
Qualifying will take place promptly at 15:30 GMT. Drivers will be given a 25 min. session. Drafting, bump drafting, crashing, holding up other qualifiers, and sitting on track outside of the garage area will result in penalties assessed in the race. Penalties left over from qualifying will carry directly over to the race if not served in the 1 hour qualifying session. If you are given a DT penalty for speeding you may either return to the track and then serve the pass through before jump pitting, or you may jump pit immedeitly after the penalty is given.

Driver’s Name
Driver name's will have to be changed to have your real name and your number like this for all sessions: 0 J.Doe (All in white)

Attempting to Finish Under Green Flag
A red flag may be thrown in an attempt to allow the race to finish under green if it comes out late race. For a red flag all cars must stop in order behind the leader. The pace car will take place at the front of this order (if not already) and a yellow will be thrown to end this period. The restart will occur at the next passing of the restart area and the pits will be closed until this restart.

Yellow Flag Information
Full course cautions will be thrown only when there is deemed to be a hazard to competition such as a car sideways on track or disabled for example. When yellow flag is thrown you are asked to slow down to at or below 100 MPH or (160 KPH) until you are able to catch the pace car, but please do not hit your brakes unless to avoid collision. The leader will wrap around and take place behind the pace car which will travel at around 80 MPH (about 130 KPH) in the straight away. You are asked to follow the person in front of you 2 seconds behind, and to follow beside them rather than directly in their tracks under yellow flag until the restart is imminent. Restarts will occur as quickly as possible while still allowing cars a passing of pit road in which they can make a yellow flag stop. If the white flag has dropped before a yellow flag does, the running order will be frozen as of the time of the yellow. Only cars which were unable to maintain a speed of more than 80 MPH (130 KPH) on the straights may lose their position. If cars are involved in a crash they will be given the position in which they return to yellow flag speed until they fail to maintain that velocity once more. Overly aggressive driving will result in penalties assessed post race.

Lap Down Cars Under Yellow
Prior to restarts, cars that are 1 or more laps down will be moved to the rear of the field (behind the lead lap cars). The first car one lap down at the time of the yellow will be allowed to take the wave around and rejoin at the tail end of the field for the restart. Lap down cars remaining in front of the leader will be allowed to pass the pace car and return to the tail of the pack behind the free pass car. The wave around car will be permitted to pit under this yellow flag period without penalty, but free pass cars will not until the green flag has dropped. If there are lead lap cars pitting under yellow flag, lap down cars are asked to yield a pit stall to the lead lap cars and wait their turn. If a lad lap car is unable to get into a pit stall under yellow, and there are lap cars in stalls these lap down cars will be given a tail end of the longest line penalty on the restart. Those who stopped and gave lead lap cars positions to pit on the crowded pit road will be allowed to start in their previous positions.

Restarts
Restarts are to occur between the restart lines about 20 meters and 40 meters behind the Start/Finish. All flags will be called by race control. If green flag is not called by race control then the restart will not occur. If the line-up has issues yellow flag will be called before the green flag was supposed to be. If a driver is involved in a crash they will not be given their previous position back, but rather they will be given the spot that they had when they returned to the running order. If you pit under yellow you will be placed in exiting order behind those who did not pit under that caution period. All starts will be single file. The Pace Car’s lights will be turned off when the crossing the finish line for the final time under that yellow flag period.

In Game Chat
Chatting will be disallowed during all sessions unless prompted to do so. Permission to speak must be asked for and granted during all sessions at all times during on-track action when the chat is announced to be closed. This rule will be enforced strictly by the administration team.

Pitting Instructions
On entry to pit road there will be a “Commitment Cone” in which in order to pit you must cross entirely to the pit road side of. If you strike the commitment cone you will be given a pass through penalty under green, and you will be required to start at the tail end of the line if you strike it under yellow. The same applies to the merge line cone on exit.

Skin Requirments
All participants must have a visible number on each side of their car. Skins may not contain graphic content (nudity, gore, ect.) Failure to have a proper skin will result in a drive through penalty in each session that the improper skin is used.

Failure to Comply
Failure to follow these rules will result in in-race penalties which will be determined by the benefit that the rules infraction has given you. Failure to serve a penalty within 3 laps of it being issued will result in a worsened penalty, and failure to serve a 2nd penalty will result in disqualification. Should the race finish and there is an existing penalty, the driver with the penalty will be credited with finishing the last car on the lap in which he finished on (or, if ignoring the penalty is judged to give a greater benefit than this, they may be given a harsher penalty)

Driver Requirements
In order to be eligible to participate in Realistic NASCAR's TBO World Championship Series a driver must have an LFS experience rating of 250 or greater, and have submitted a valid registration to this thread.

Misc.
All race finishes will be reviewed fully by the administration team, and official results will be posted the Wednesday following each round. If you have any questions about these race procedures please feel free to P.M. any race official or e-mail us at realisticnascar@live.com

Example:

That will be a lot of RB4's then.

You reckon? Check out the tracks...

on second thoughts, I think I agree


Will you be taking part?

Myself, no. We're not above changing restrictions if things prove to be unfair. We are activly talking about changing the FXO restriction to 4%. We will let everybody know what we decide for sure on the sign-up thread.

I think FXO should be 4% instead. The other two seem to be ok.

I registered a few minutes ago ^^

By the way, what happens if there is an accident? Should we shift-S or stay in the car regardless?

I've posted the tentitive restrictons on the sign-up thread. They now look like this, but are subject to change:

Round 1 - Sept. 11th 2011 - Japanese 250 - KY3R - 34 Laps - FXO 4% - RB4 0% - XRT 1%
Round 2 - Sept. 25th 2011 - Aston 150 - AS7 - 29 Laps - FXO 2% - RB4 0% - XRT 0%
Round 3 - Oct. 9th 2011 - Blackwood GP - BL1 - 63 Laps - FXO 2% - RB4 0% - XRT 0%
Round 4 - Oct. 23rd 2011 - Fern Bay 300 - FE3 - 57 Laps - FXO 2% - RB4 0% - XRT 0%
Round 5 - Nov. 6th 2011 - Westhill GP - WE1 - 44 Laps - FXO 3% - RB4 0% - XRT 0%
Round 6 - Nov. 20th 2011 - Kyoto 225 - KY2 - 44 Laps - FXO 4% - RB4 0% - XRT 1%

If you crash remain on track unless told to spectate by Admin.

Is this also what you need admins / SC for?

Speedy - Have you enrolled?

Speedy J "Is this also what you need admins / SC for?"

I could use a SC driver yeah. The 500 lacked interest.

Speedy has a fetish for being safety car. Might buy an orange emergency light for his next birthday.

(Going to take a while )

We might expect an extended version of this video shortly;


Link

I'll send one from Estonia, they'r easy to come by here (Selled in all local carstores XD)

Haha, nice video!

@Cornys: lack of drivers or helping hands?

Drivers for the 500. TBO World Series already has the drivers.. there's an open spot for a pacecar driver

Just don't mess it up like they do in that video of Dave's

what combo is that ??

KY1 XRR

So Speedy, will you race or pace?

On race pace he will pace the race

^ I don't know if you mean that he's slow or that he is fast enough to win

He will drive teh pace car as good/better than all the drivers there

It was a nice first event race - thank you all who drove, and also Speedy for admining

I have to say mtrein, although you did not end on podium, I was impressed by your driving. Driving almost two hours with mouse, no heating tyres, very consistent laps, really good

Thanks Speedy, but it would take a lot more for me to reach the top dogs (Nikifor, Chong, among others). I'm always in for the fun, though

If anyone is interested, here is a link to mediafire, from where my replay from the race can be downloaded:

Got a disconnect on lap 22 or 23 for the second round

Yeah I notice and that was a pity because you were doing well. I presumed you could have ended on a nice position because some people needed a pitstop, where you did solid laps with nice tyres....

oo bad you timed out mate...

Yup, that was what I was aiming for... My tyres were green, not even orange. Pity

By the way, after I got disconnected I did a 61 lap "trial" in BL1, my left front tyre popped on lap 58. It's going to be a gamble, but I was never one to take risks so I will probably run a pitstop halfway through. I'm happy with my endurance set for BL1, though

I honestly don't think that tires will last in a race for 61 laps at BL1, but.. I've been proved wrong before (round 1 I thought the same thing).

Good luck this sunday on our new server
