This is a multi-class semi-endurance event featuring three classes of five, all cars for this event will be spec unless there are any objections about a cars handling, at which point they will be power and weight capped at stock levels with tuning available. The remaining classes will stay spec classes. There will also be an unclassified entrant permitted to run either the '11 or '12 Schulze GT-R.
I've always enjoyed spec-racing, but seeing a field full of the same car bored me some. With this, I can combine spec racing in an event that offers more to more people while racing against an unprecedented field of classes. The points system has been developed to encourage racers to return for more events, while also encouraging clean racing and completion of the event.
During the event, the best way to communicate is to use your keyboard as microphones will not be enabled.
All drivers are expected to know and follow the GTPLanet OnLine Racing (OLR) Rules & Guidelines as well as The Good Racecraft Guide. You will be given one warning to improve your track etiquette at the end of the race should it be found to be unsavory. Should your track etiquette remain sub-par in the next meeting, you will be barred from future racing events until cleared for re-entry.
You are expected to hone your track etiquette and racecraft before participating!

Qualifying will use a 1-lap shoot-out method, participants will have 10 minutes to run as fast a time as possible. This may mean that some cars do not finish a lap, but GT should still sort you out into fastest and slowest.
Please respect track boundaries at this time, you are to keep two wheels on the track surface while at race speed. If you venture off, slow down and return to course at an appropriate pace so as not to gain an advantage in inadvertent off-track expeditions.
Qualifying in future events will be dependent on track length and the amount of time available.
There will be points awarded for this event and future single events like this. While this is not a series, at the end of the year, a champion will be crowned based on total points over the participation throughout the year. This event will use 3 classes of 5.
Finishing the race is classified as running at the end of the race. DO NOT STOP ON TRACK FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. If there is an emergency, that is acceptable, but if your car is stationary on track (regardless of where), for multiple laps, you will not be scored any points.
In the event that there are only two participants registered in a class, the First place points will not be eligible to win. Thus the highest finishing points a participant can earn against one competitor is two points. Likewise, if there is only one participant in the class, they will only earn 1 point for finishing the race. The points rewarded are based on how many entries were registered before the start of the race, not how many started nor how many finished. Thus if four cars registered for a class and only 2 started and 1 remained then the remaining driver would earn 3 points, plus any applicable bonus points while other cars in it's class were racing.
Additionally, only the Spotless Car bonus points are eligible to earn for a single entry in a class, as the lack of competition make the remaining points, moot. These are also the only bonus points available should a participant run unclassified.
DNF before 65% race completion: Member is eligible to win 1 Pt for finishing position. If the member is disconnected and is able to return to the lobby, he or she will be eligible to maintain Lead a Lap and Fastest Lap bonus points if they remain the lobby and spectate the race until the finish.
DNF after 65% race completion: Member is eligible to win full points in class + All applicable bonus points with the exception of Spotless Car bonus points. Spotless Car bonus points will only be awarded to DNF members if they had started the last lap of the race before being disconnected. Note: If it is found that the member purposely avoided a collision or some other occurrence that could be judged to hinder chances at earning or attempting to maintain Spotless Car bonus points by disconnecting then all bonus points earned for the event will be forfeit by member.

Points Standings
Tie-Breaker Rounds: At the end of every month, should there be two or more individuals tied in overall points while in the top 10, they will be asked to participate in the same class in order to separate break the tie. Members are encouraged in general to participate in the same classes as those around them, but this in itself is not mandatory. Only the Tie-Breaker rounds will be mandatory.
Oil Changes are highly recommended.
Chassis Improvement is highly recommended. NOTE: Test your car pre and post Chassis improvement in a Tuning-Restricted lobby to ensure it is permitted to race.

Car Appearance Requests: Matte, Color Shift and Chrome colors are allowed, but Solid's, Pearl's and Metallic's are requested. Wheels may be painted any color with any finish, but again, traditional colors (Black/Grey/White/Silver/Gold) are requested with Solid, Metallic and Matte being the requested textures.
Don't worry, there is no penalty for not complying! 👍
Entry Request Guidelines
When requesting a position to race in, it's as simple as copying the format of the entry laid out below and filling it in with your own information. Keep it on a single line and make sure you only include information relevant to that class.
This is an example of a correctly-formatted entry request:
I will not be held responsible for listing incorrect information if it is not provided to me upon your entry request.
The theme for this event will be Germany's VLN Endurance series known for it's massive racing on the Nurburgring. Cars for this event will be those seen in VLN Racing.
Warning: As of 1.09, many cars standard settings have been altered. Simply go through the tuning menu and hit "Reset to Default" in all categories (usually just the transmission and suspension, though) and your car should become legal.
Additionally, make sure you do not have any aerodynamic parts installed on the car as this is counted as tuning and you will not be permitted entry.
