A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Video guide to multiclass racing - Click here
It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake cars in slower class. (Blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not) The slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. LMP1 should have, at a minimum, full overlap with a GT car before the corner apex.
If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class, the normal blue flags gentleman's rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake, usually a slight lift at the start of a straight. Please be sensible.
Separate qualification runs will happen for LMP1 and GTE classes. First 10 minutes for LMP1, second 10 minutes for GTE. GTE cars must not exit the pit lane before 10 minutes have elapsed. LMP1 must not start a lap after 10 minutes have elapsed. You may be kicked from the server by race control if you ignore this rule.

All other Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
Discord is highly recommended for all club races. For multiclass it is particularly important.

Yep, usual times for most of us Euros, but the race starts when qualy usually starts (20 past the hour).

American/Canada will be a one hour difference.

There is an additional 3 hour mega qualy on Saturday night. Starts at 10 and finishes at 2

Thanks Colin. Have a good weekend

Some reminders coming into race weekend.

Corner entry to the back straight requires 2 wheels inside the white line.

Same limits are used here in real life. Images in post below.

In case you missed the post two the rules below seemed to work well in the prologue. Being at least able to hear discord comms during the race will generally make lapping cars alot smoother.

It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake cars in slower class. (Blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not) The slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. LMP1 should have, at a minimum, full overlap with a GT car before the corner apex.

Oui, les heures habituelles pour la plupart d'entre nous Euros, mais la course commence quand la qualy commence habituellement (20 heures passées).

American/Canada sera une différence d'une heure.

Il y a une méga qualification supplémentaire de 3 heures samedi soir. Commence à 10h et finit à 2houces vers le bas:

Merci superbe organisation !

Quelques rappels à venir le week-end de course.

L'entrée de pièce vers la ligne droite arrière nécessite 2 roues à l'intérieur de la ligne blanche.

Les mêmes limites sont utilisées ici dans la vraie vie. Images en post ci-dessous.

Concernant les limites de piste ya t'il une application sur toute la piste car j'ai vu au dernier virage pas mal de débordements?

Et j'espère que s'il est track limit sera actif pendant les qualifications...

Hi Theo, there are built in track limits that will cancel a lap in qualy if they are triggered. However everyone is still expected to set a time within the white lines.
If you think suspect someone is setting qualy lap times outside of track limits(4 wheels outside the white lines), just send me a video or replay by PM.

I'll be missing this one, caught influenza and the fever's a bit too high for me to race. See ya guys in the next one.

Was really looking forward to this since back have been fine for now.

Kischte · Mar 26, 2023

Am I too early or isn´t the server online yet?

Edit: OHHHH I think someone missed the summertime switch

Programmer_Rich · Mar 26, 2023

Sorry guys I'm not going to be able to join, (despite practising and qualifying!). My wife has taken me to a surprise Elton John concert! Have a good race.

I guess the server didn't take into account the time change

_Ken Scott · Mar 26, 2023

sorry for leaving, but I just didn't want to get in the way with being so slow, IDK if my pit limiter was on or, what, so frustrating , plus my FFB felt to heavy, tried to adjust in on the back straight, but it didn't seem to help any, plus I got lapped by the GTE leader with the first 15 minutes or so.

Nice apex, I'll take it!
