Welcome to International Touring Car Cooper Challenge! This is a one-make championship using the fun-to-drive and agile MINI Cooper S '11 in sport trim. The specs are all based on real life; the series runs in Australia and United Kingdom. The cars will feature 210 hp and 1150 kg., exactly as their real life counterparts do. This series will utilize GTP's OLRs, with amendments to Section 01: J, ensuring close, competitive and clean fun for everyone!

Race Formats & Schedules:

Wednesdays, 17h30 UTC-0 (UK Summer time), is when Final Practice (aka P3) should/will begin.
P3 will last 45 minutes; this gives you 45 minutes to join and be ready.
Qualifying (aka "Q1") begins promptly at 18h15; whether you are ready or not. Please be certain that you pay attention to time, these events will be time sensitive!!
Race 1 (R1) will begin immediately following Q1. If you do not submit a lap time in Q1, you will either start from last or be sent home. Race 1 will be 30 minutes in length, run with GT6's "Endurance Race" type; a countdown from 30 minutes until 0 minutes begins immediately with race start.
Race 2 (R2) will begin soon afterwards (19h10) and will follow a similar race format, except that tire/fuel depletion will be accelerated, requiring a pit stop.

Start types:

In ITC Cooper Challenge, both a standing start and rolling start will be used. The standing start will be used for Race 1, the rolling start for Race 2. Standing starts are organized by GT6's built-in functions.

Rolling starts are organized by the front row; each subsequent row is expected to closely follow the row in front of them, with the front row taking the responsibility of ensuring a close start. Failure to sufficiently slow to bunch the field up can result in a "false start" penalty. Failure to maintain pace during the pace lap (excluding front row!) can result in being overtaken; this will serve as a grid position penalty. Follow a reasonable pace without excessive swerving in order to ensure a clean race start/restart and you will not be penalized.

Other rules:
  • Pit lane closed during Race 1, except for drive-through penalties if applicable
  • Pit lane open during Race 2, at all times.
  • You must pit during Race 2.
  • If you have any doubts about acceptable track limits on a corner, you must bring them to the attention of myself
  • All cars must have car numbers; cars without car numbers will not be scored.
  • ITCC D/C Procedure is in place:
Connection:

Problem Solving:

D/C Procedure: If a driver is disconnected from the lobby, and is able to re-enter the lobby and type "D/C" in the chat box within 4 minutes of the start of the race, the race will be restarted. There is a maximum of 1 D/C restart per race, and 2 D/C restarts per driver per race weekend. If a driver disconnects from 3 races in a row, the driver will not be scored in the third race, in an attempt to keep the schedule somewhat organized. Races will remain full distance, minus the number of laps already run by the lead car.

When a D/C restart is called, please back out in order of standing. First place should back out first, last place should back out last. Please back out in a timely fashion and reenter the course as quickly as possible. Do your best to keep the schedule organized. Upon reentry to course, please follow series director's guidance to manually set grid in order of positions as they were when D/C restart was called. Any pass attempts in progress shall be deemed unsuccessful, and the positions reverted to as they were before pass attempt was begun.

DNS procedure is when you're in the race, but you can not get the car to move. You have to back out to XMB dashboard and re-enter the lobby within 5 minutes of the race start. Type "DNS" in the chat box before the 5 minutes are up, and the race will be restarted.

The typing the reason for your departure is to ensure that you have successfully connected once again - the race will not stop if you disconnect twice, or fail to connect for some other reason.

Error 697 or 705 code upon attempting to enter lobby:

You will be unable to connect to the lobby host. If an attempt is successful, you will likely have "invisible drivers" on track. Port forwarding is a simple and effective solution to this problem. The Series Director, ITCC_Andrew, has port-forwarded all of the required ports for GT6, and this issue should be resolved. However, if not, the first and foremost thing to resolve the issue is port-forwarding.​

I'm signed up for 4 series right now, running one, and have school work to do. I also might quit GT6 in December, after ITCC 6 ends, but I'll at least be cutting it down to racing in maybe one series and doing WRS. I don't want to over-commit myself.

OK then, that's fair enough, thanks for the answer.

So, who will take the control of ITC after you quit, Ettick?
