Qualification_zps6cf6a95d.jpg


Qualification will be a 15 minute session with the fastest lap getting pole. Remember, minimum two wheels on track.
The top 5 drivers will then participate in the Shootout. Each driver gets one out lap and one timed lap. The top 5 will be asked to wait in pit lane, each driver will leave one at a time for their out lap and timed lap in order from 5th to 1st, once you have completed your timed lap please exit to the pit lane, the next car will be released once the preceding driver is sitting in pit lane. We ask that all drivers in the top 5 stay in pit lane for the duration of the shootout (If I make the Top 5 Shootout I will need to sit in watch race because I need to monitor the laps and the lap times, the second steward will monitor my lap.).

The Shootout results will set the grid for 1st to 5th; 6th-16th will be set by the 15 minute session.

Nissan R35 GT-R TC
NO PARTS INSTALLED, STOCK FROM DEALERSHIP


Power: Limited to 453HP
Weight: 1215KG

Tuning is prohibited so the room will not let you on track if you have installed extra parts or adjusted anything other than the power limiter and brake bias.
THIS MEANS NO RIM CHANGES
Please use number type 1.


TyreRegulations_zps191e6e3c.jpg


Racing Hards & Racing Softs are available for use during a 'racing weekend'. A racing weekend consists of Qualifying and Racing. However there are limits to how you use these tyres. Everyone has limited sets of Soft /Hard racing tyres and MUST use BOTH compounds during the race.
(NO MIXING SETS, i.e. Softs on front and Hards on rear).

At the start of the racing weekend you will need to decide which tyre you qualify on.
Once you have chosen your qualifying tyre you MUST stick to that tyre.
You CANNOT change to a different tyre compound during that qualifying session.
You will also start the race on your qualifying tyre. The qualifying tyre and race start tyre count as 2 sets.
The tyre limits for each compound are;

Racing Softs = 2 Sets
Racing Hards = 3 Sets

60/60 Super-Sprint Rounds are the only time Racing Medium tyres will be used.
60/60 Super-Sprint=Racing Mediums=unlimited sets

YOU MUST DO A MINIMUM OF 5 LAPS ON EACH SET OF TYRES USED IN THE RACE (including your in and out lap).

Your qualifying and race start tyre count as 2 used sets

Here is an example:
Driver A qualifies and starts on racing softs
Driver A now has 0xRS & 3xRH available in the race

Driver B qualifies and starts on racing hards
Driver B now has 2xRS & 1xRH available in the race

If you receive damage on lap 1-4 of your new set of tyres then it will not count as a used set if you need to pit to fix damage. You may stay on that same compound. If you pit for damage on lap 5 or onwards and pit to fix the damage then that tyre will count as a used set.

YOU MUST USE AT LEAST ONE SET OF EACH COMPOUND IN THE RACE (the set you start on is included).

YOU MUST DO A MINIMUM OF 5 LAPS ON EACH SET OF TYRES USED IN THE RACE (including your in and out lap).

Stewards will make a note of each driver’s tyres while watching the race replay. Penalties will be handed down if you fail to comply with series rules.
Penalties can vary from warnings, point deductions and to disqualification.



S-SprintRegs_zpsc253aa8f.jpg


The rounds will consist of the following schedule
-20 minute qualifying session
-Race(Part 1)-20 Laps

Fastest lap points are awarded in "Part 1" AND "Part 2"

Colour: TBD

P.S. I noticed we aren't allowed to change rims, if it's because it wouldn't let you on track with "tuning prohibited" turned on, you can go to transmission settings and hit default and it will fix it(this worked last time i tried, over a year ago).
 
ACS room now open in my lobby!

See you here for 30 laps of the Nurburgring Gran Prix circuit.
 
HEY guys

GREAT race last night.
The NISSAN drives well.

Where is the Championship points graphs?

CHEERS redness-63 (;)

FROM THE RULEBOOK......

"YOU MUST DO A MINIMUM OF 5 LAPS ON EACH SET OF TYRES USED IN THE RACE (including your in and out lap)."

Just to clarify, do we need to use both hard and soft in the race.

For instance, I decide to run on hard tyres and minimise my pit stops and can finish the race with allocated number of tyres, including the set used for qualifying, do I still have to use a set of soft tyres in the race?

YOU MUST DO A MINIMUM OF 5 LAPS ON EACH SET OF TYRES USED IN THE RACE (including your in and out lap).

You have to use both compounds in the race, for example the strategies used at Nurburgring GP/F were roughly,

Start-Hard
Pit Lap 5-Soft
Pit Lap 17 or 18-Soft

OR

Start-Soft
Pit Lap 20-Hard

You don't need to use every set but you need to use both compounds, I admit it can sound confusing but after one race it's pretty easy. Everyone would probably be willing to explain stuff to you on Saturday night if you still have any questions.

You will find that the Soft tire with an extra pitstop is much faster than hard without.
 
Really sorry I had to leave guys.

Discovered that GT5 had taken the sorts that I remember purchasing for use at the Nurburgring. This forced me to retire. My GF then spotted me not doing anything so she demanded to use the TV, I gave in knowing what was on the line "wink wink nudge nudge say no more" ;)
 
Enjoyed the race. Thanks everyone that took part. Even a bad day racing is better than watching TV.
I decided to test the tyres seeing I was last in the race. Some good learning on the effect of tyre wear on lap times.
 
Links to this seasons spreadsheets have been added to my first post on page 1.

Replay files are now uploaded.
