1.8 Advertisements

Competitors may put their own advertising decals on the car, subject to compliance with these Regulations.

Competitors are reminded that any advertising that portrays a political agenda or standpoint, displays any graphically suggestive and/or pornographic imagery, or includes any foul language is strictly unauthorised. The advertisement or suggestive advertisement of any company that manufacture, re-trade, sale or distribute either alcohol or tobacco products is also strictly unauthorised.​

2.1 Entries

Competitors are responsible for submitting correctly completed entries prior to the closing date before each event. Incorrect or incomplete entries are to be held in abeyance until they are complete and correct.

The entry form covers all rounds/events of the season.

The maximum number of cars that can take part in either Qualifying or the Race is 16 (sixteen).

All entries can include a reserve driver.
2.2 Practice

Upon the lobby opening, practice for all drivers will immediately begin.

Practice will last a maximum of 30-minutes to allow all the drivers to be in the lobby before scrutineering and qualifying.

Once practice has concluded, the lobby will be reset by the host to remove times as to not interfere with qualifying.
2.3 Scrutineering/Parc Ferme

Scrutineering/Parc Ferme is a 5-minute period between practice and qualifying where the host and steward(s) check the performance of each car as well as the legality of the liveries.

Every car must be in the pit lane, and not on track, during Scrutineering/Parc Ferme.

Any car that is found to be outside of the technical regulations will be asked to adjust their car performance to the specified level.

Any car that is found to be outside of the livery regulations will:
  • be granted entry into the event on first-time offense.
  • be refused entry into the event on a repeated offense.

2.4 Qualifying

Once Scrutineering/Parc Ferme has concluded, all drivers will then be given the green flag over in-game chat. Drivers are then permitted to leave the pit lane and start setting laps to determine their grid positions for the races.

Qualifying will last a maximum of 10-minutes at every event.
2.5 Grid

The grid for both races will be determined by qualifying in the following format:
  • fastest-slowest order for race 1.
  • slowest-fastest order for race 2.
The grid for both races will be set by the host.​

2.6 The Races

There are two races at each event, both lasting a maximum of 30-minutes.

Each race will have the rolling start procedure.

In the event that a car gets either stuck on the grid or, stuck in auto-drive, must immediately notify everyone

via the in-game chat. Everyone must then back out of the race to the lobby screen. The affected driver(s) must then exit the lobby and restart their PlayStation 4 systems (this is the only known fix for the issue) and then re-join the lobby as soon as possible.

Once everyone is back in the lobby and is ready, the race will be restarted once the grid order is fixed by the host.
2.7 Schedule

All times are in UTC.
19:00 - Lobby open/Practice begins.
19:30 - Lobby reset and Scrutineering/Parc Ferme
19:35 - Qualifying begins.
19:45 - Qualiying finishes/5 minute pre-race break.
19:50 - Race 1 starts.

2.8 Pit Lane

On both pit entry and pit exit, the solid white line defining the dedicated lane for entry and exit into the pit lane will serve as the maximum limit for cars entering and exiting the pits. Crossing these lines will trigger an instant 10-second penalty.

The following infringements will incur penalties as follows:
  • Crossing the solid white lines defining maximum driving limit of pit entry and pit exit (10-second post-race time penalty).
  • Failing to perform at least one pit stop during all races (20-second post-race time penalty).
  • Regularly having more than two wheels exceeding the white lines, and kerbs, defining the maximum driving limit of the circuit (10-second post-race time penalty minimum).
  • Intentionally causing collisions with other cars (instant disqualification and exclusion from the series).
  • Failing to pass Scrutineering/Parc Ferme based on the livery regulations (see article 2.3).
  • Failing to pass Scrutineering/Parc Ferme based on the technical regulations (see article 2.3).
For all other irregularities, sanctions and decisions are left to the discretion of the stewards.

Repeated offenses across multiple events will result in more severe action being taken against the guilty drivers.​

3.1 Sporting Disputes

The Championship Organiser reserves the right to impose further penalties on teams/competitors proven by the Officials or a submitted report, to have behaved on or off the track in a manner considered likely to bring the Championship into disrepute. Penalties may include individual race bans, loss of points or end of season awards. In the case of repeated offences, or extremely severe offences, the Organiser reserves the right to exclude any team/competitor for a fixed number of races or the whole Championship.
3.2 Incident Reports

All drivers are eligible to submit incident reports via a messaging service (such as GTPlanet or Facebook) to the steward(s).

All incident reports are to be submitted to the steward(s) a maximum of 48 hours after the waving of the chequered flag of race 2.​

I've added the Alfa, Peugeot and Mazda to the BoP to test. I'm opening a lobby now for testing now that F1 qualifying has finished.
