All cars follow single file - keeping a 3 -4 car lengths distance spacing - NO OVERTAKING UNDER ANY CIRCUNSTANCES - If a car ahead fades because the driver its messaging stay behind as the leader will slow in for all cars to catch up in the final sector -
1st sector should be made at no more than 70 mph.
2nd sector at no more than 120 mph.
3rd sector slowed down to 50 mph or less to wait for people who have messaged problems, and then every car should acceletate to full race speed only from last corner through to start line and should cross the start line at full racing speed.
No car can overtake until after the start line.
Any driver taking any advantage will have points deducted.

1st sector should be made at no more than 70 mph.
2nd sector at no more than 120 mph.
3rd sector slowed down to 50 mph or less to wait for people who have messaged problems, and then every car should acceletate to full race speed only from last corner through to start line and should cross the start line at full racing speed.
No car can overtake until after the start line.
Any driver taking any advantage will have points deducted.
2nd Lap Pace car -Safety car
If any driver see lag after half the 1st lap he can message SC - he will not loose position as the cars behind cannot overtake - the leader will see this and type OK in response.
The leader will then slow right down and allow the cars to close up again making it fair for the drivers that have slowed a lot when they messaged SC.
The lead car will continue and repeat the procedure for a second lap.

9 Teams & car numbers
Teams
Teams of 2 cars can be formed running the same colours.
Drivers must request formation of the team from the stewards on this forum.
Ideally the teams should be formed from a known "fast" and "slower driver"
These details will be finalised as we near the 1st official test race.
This would be ideal to to share car setups and would assist race craft.
The stewards would always try to be fair in allowing team formation.
The final points standing of both drivers would be the teams final points.
Numbers
After the 1st test race all divers issued with driver numbers for the series.

Suggestion for the signups post; how about adding GTP user links? It's as simple as typing an @ symbol and following the autocomplete:
Sample:
A little easier to read too and when you do role calls for races drivers will get a forum notification.

Dave this may sound silly, i dont know how that all works.
at some point i may have to get a clear understanding of this forum mechanics, i will have to stick to what i know for now.
I do appreciate you pointing things out, but i am not always able to see it all as clearly as i see my way.
If you know what i mean.

Dave? 
Okay, to put it simply:
Type the @ symbol and then follow it up with the start of a username. For me it'd be @PJT, and then my name appears on a dropdown list. Click that and it does the rest: @PJTierney
When you make a post with an @name in it, that user gets an alert (similar to how somebody quotes you in a post). That shows up in their inbox and sends them a link to the post.
It's a simple way to get people's attention, which comes in handy for online racing

We are in process of a ruleset change for the sake of giving better chances to all drivers and avoiding a once NON-Qualifiers to have his championship run ruined. Thise means points will be changed.
On the same side we'll provide entertainment and racing for non Qualifiers too; This way those that trained but didn't made the cut will be able to run in a side event. I'm always sad to have to turn away some drivers because there's not enough spots...
There's no reason for those that didn't made it to just shut down the console or leave for Aspec or seasonals when they can fight for the side championship with a 13 drivers room right?
Soon all will be fixed up and Official Topic will be opened! Sorry for the inconvenience, but soon all the detail will be nailed and in place.
Maybe it can't be seen much, but we are working hard to create something that will provide entertainment and good close racing for as much gtp users as possible!

Craig, i have put you in the signups on PJ approval.
Car colours are no problems, however i am trying to work it so we have teams made from a faster
driver with a slower driver if can work it, as this would make all teams competitive and also would help
some of the slower newer drivers to get better setups if they are teamed with top drivers.
I dont know if we can sort this out but ideally once we sort teams out we can then allocate car numbers.
Example, a team that had the top driver would have him as 1 and his teamate 21, 2 and 22 , 3 and 23 etc up
to 16 and 36.
Thats was my thinking anyway, as the whole idea here is to make it as competitive as possible for everyone.
This is my plan, and until the current series series is complete, i will put a hold on teams and numbers if thats ok.

That's fair enough for most people, but I'd like to team up with the guy I've raced with for the past year
As for numbers, I don't know about some of you guys, but for me I feel a certain attachemnt to the number I use. I've used #45 in close to 300 organised online races and using something else just wouldn't feel right to me.

I certainly dont want to upset anyone here, but i only suggest these things as, i being the sponsor i want to make it as fair for every driver as possible, and pairing faster and slower together would help i am sure improve their driving and setup skills if they had assistance, and re the numbers, it would also avoid any squabbles over them.
Nothing is set in stone as yet, but thats the way i would like it if possible and we could get agreement form all.

Well in terms of race results it is 13-7 to PJ, so strictly speaking he is the quicker driver

Yes Craig,Well in terms of race results it is 13-7 to PJ, so strictly speaking he is the quicker driver
that may well be the case, but you know what i am trying to do.
There may be many drivers slower than you.
I am trying to get my organising team to agree to switch race 1 into an official test.
We would know the track weeks in advance, so plenty of training could be done.
With 2 rooms and 13 cars in each room.
Both rooms set exactly the same.
Then both rooms would have a 90 minutes qualifying session only.
We would then have a list of drivers speeds from fastest 1 to slowest 26.
We could also then say that 2 drivers combined numbers could not be less than 20 to from teams.
or something like that.
These we would then be what we use for / test race 2 / that would become test race 1
using these times to have top 12 lockin and prequalifying for the rest.
Just the best idea i can come up with at present.
If i left it as a free for all, i dont think things may work out for many teams,
Also of course as i mentioned it would be in the interest of the faster guys to help the slower guys.
