Pace Laps
At the beginning of the race all cars will move into their qualifying positions and start a pace around the track at the limited speed of 40mph / 65 kmph. The car in 1st will be the pace car unless absent driver allows pace car to be driven. If pace car is included, at the end of the lap the pace car will enter the pits and all drivers will continue their pace. The race starts once you have passed the starting line. So, if your timer (Top middle) resets itself to zero, that's when you start accelerating and the race begins. Do not accelerate early, you must wait until you have passed the starting line yourself. If you so accelerate early, you will be penalized. Either during the race or after.

Qualifications
Once all participants have gathered into a lobby, every driver will enter the track and a race will be started. The race will be 3 laps long. At the beginning of the race drivers will not move at all. When the race has actually started the driver starting in first will launch and begin his / her qualifying laps. Every 10 seconds the next driver will launch their own car. With this all cars (assuming 14 participants) running will be able to produce their own individual laps without intereference. The first lap will not count. Lap two and three will be the timed laps and will be reviewed by a race steward by saving the replay. You are not to interefere with a driver you happen to interact with. This means not to tail him / her and not to attempt overtaking. Try to get a place between two drivers on the track without a disturbance.

Teams
Teams may be up to 4 cars. All cars in a team do not have to be the same car but must be made by the same manufacturer. Team members also do not have to be the same colour. Even if you are a single driver you must make a team name! You will be given a name if you do not give yourself one.

Participating
All race particitpants will be awarded one silver chrome paint ship. Only if that participant has completed the race. One will be awarded each race.

Rules
All drivers must follow the GTPlanet Online Rules & Regulations in this series.
If there is to be an incident in a race involving an accident of some sort it must be reported to the series stewards after the race by PM on GTPlanet. You must supply the stewards with lap number and involved drivers. The incident will then be reviewed and penalties or disqualificaions for that race will be handed out.

When encountering a driver from another class, usually the case will be when a faster driver pulls up to a slower one. The slower driver must keep their racing line while the faster driver must perform an action to pass the slower vehicle in a safe area to not affect the other driver. That is the proper driving etiquette.

Points System
This applies to every race:
1st - 30
2nd - 28
3rd - 26
4th - 24
5th - 22
6th - 20
7th - 18
8th - 16
9th - 14
10th - 12
11th - 10
12th - 8
13th - 6
14th - 4
15th - 2
16th - 0

Team standings will use the same points system and team members points will be added up for that race.
