Welcome to the World Endurance Championship, Taking sign ups, All set to start April 13th
HOW THINGS WORK
Room will open between 8:30PM GMT and 9PM GMT Saturday evening, The room will be hosted by either myself TDZdave or Memto89,
LMP and GTE Multiclass event, 8 Cars per class, Races would last around an hour and 15 minutes too an hour 30 minutes, with 2 Endurance races, Lasting around 2 hours 30 minutes,
Qualifying, will be a 15 minute session followed by the race countdown timer for all circuits, Except Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans, In which will have a 20 minute qualifying followed by a 5 minute break for you to sort your food, fluid and bathroom commitments for an endurance event,
Also, The field will not be cleansed after qualifying, So if you are in an LMP car and have a horible run you cannot expect to be bumped up to the back of the LMP field, you will start where your qualifying time dictates,
Laps will be worked out to around the 1 hour 10 minute mark according to the LMP pole time, For Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans the laps will be sorted to the LMP pole time to the value of 2 hours 30 minutes,
Tires
Soft tires only, apart from intermediates and wets where required,
The Races, All races will have 1 full pace lap, Spa Francorchamps and Le Mans will not, Then all cars will fan out to a 2 by 2 file and will not go until the lead 2 reach painted grid slot 1 and the start/ finish line,
(Due to the long lap at Spa and Le Mans We may just turn around from the start line, Go backwards around the course and grid up then roll,)
(Also may do the traditional Le Mans standing start at Le Mans)
Overtaking and lapping, Be patient, overtaking points will come, You will never win the race on lap 1,
Lapping, GTE cars will be expected to maintain their line, It is up to their discretion to get out of an LMP cars way, "removing" them from the circuit will result in a penalty,
This is a championship, Points will only be awarded for top 5 only in each class, Bonus points maybe awarded for, Class Pole Position, class fastest lap, And class most laps led, and leading a lap at the start line,
Points are in this order
1st) 5
2nd) 4
3rd) 3
4th) 2
5th) 1
1 Point for pole and 1 for fastest lap of the race (Each category)
Double Points will be awarded for the two endurance races, You must complete 90% to claim any points,
Penalties will be dealt with accordingly per class steward, I TDZdave am the head steward, Memto89 is the LMP steward and Johnnyb is the GTE steward,
2) If an LMP causes a GTE car to spin or crash while lapping them, the LMP driver will either wait and allow the GTE driver to retake their position and get up to race speed before retaking them, Or have the time lost for the GTE car +2 seconds added to the final result time,
If you are not sure if you have recieved a penalty or warning from an event, They will be published at the bottom of the OP, they will be published by Monday evening after the race, If we have yet to come to a decision it will be published as TBD,
Corner Cutting Two wheels must remain on the black stuff at all times, (or kerbing) If it is deemed by us that you have been cutting corners you will be served a penalty pending how much it cut or how many times,
Also, Do not arrive in a "Hybrid" or "Hacked" vehicle, you will be removed on the spot! NO EXCEPTIONS!
THE CARS AND DRIVERS, There will only be one of each car,

DolfinDiamond, Taking a warning for multiple corner cutting during the race and possibly qualifying during round 1, We are unsure if we made it clear in the drivers briefing that certain track sections were classified as out of bounds, You will be monitored at Monza on this issue,
We are adjusting the OP accordingly to make the rules more clear on track boundaries,

DRIVERS BRIEFING
THIS MUST BE SEEN BY ALL DRIVERS!
Normally we wouldn't and shouldn't need to do this but Monza is such an extreme place with high speeds that we felt that some extra information was needed to be implimented for this event, otherwise we some parts of this will be used to relay you guy's standard information on the up coming round,
1) Referring to the OP, If your name is highlighted on the list and you do not comment on thread notifying us of your attendance you will be removed from the OP, we have had several tests and 1 event, some of you have turned up to the test, and not been to the race, while others have signed up and not attended at all, we can get full fields guys, don't waste our time,
2) New driver's or one off driver's will be required to use initial spec's, the spec update list is based on the driver's capabilities not the car, we know what the cars can do,
3) Remeber the field does not get cleansed after qualifying, you will remain in your exact qualifying position,
( don't think it will matter at Monza)
Track information
Circuit) Autodromo Nazionale Monza/ Change weather,
Laps) 40+1 Pace (41 total)
Settings) Weather 25%, Weather changability 2, Surface water 0%
Monza Specific rules)
1) GTE Cars, This needs to be stressed, It is not up to you to let the LMP car through, It is up to the LMP car to get past you, It is up to your discretion to allow an LMP car past but make sure you make you make your intentions clear to the LMP driver, This can be done by,
+) Moving over early,
+) vocally on a head set,
+) Slowing down,
Monza only! (This isn't a requirement of racing her!)+) At Monza only, If you are worried about the LMP drivier driving through you in a chicane then us, "The stewards" will allow you to cut the chicane, Provided=
The following LMP driver is clear on your intentions,
You come to almost a complete stop as to not gain advantage on other GTE cars,
However, as said above, it is up to the LMP driver to get past you and not impede you by doing so, Please trust our judgements, and any incident that does happen we will adjudicate penalties as we see fit,
The Two wheels on track rule, is exempt from the Ascari corners, as if you run into the dirt at part 2 and 3 that will hinder you, however,
Ascari entry, you are allowed to cut but if you kick up grass multiple times you will be penalized accordingly,
(this is in play for the rest of the course)
Changes to start procedure,
I am making changes to the starting procedure as of the replay's I have viewed on my profile and of youtube of rolling start event's that being on the front row is almost a hinderance so the following procedure will be used from Monza thoughout the season,
+) Cars will roll at pace speed around the circuit as usual,
(Changes)
+) The leaders will slow pace to bunch the field up prior to the final turn of the warm up lap,
+) once the field is bunched the leaders will proceed through the final turn onto the front straight,
+) When the 2 lead cars are on the painted grid lines it is up to the pole winner to start the race, They can start the race from any point on the painted grid lines to the start line,
+) If they cross the start line and haven't gone then the race is green, their loss,
I'n summary, the pole winner dictactes the pace lap, at pace speed, They have to ensure the field is bunched up, (near as makes no difference as some drivers will tail back to ensure their own safety in turn 1, once the leader gets to the painted grid slots its their choice to go, if they get to the start line and haven't gone then the race will also go green,
(Bare in mind that these may change race to race, so suit the track we are racing on, these will be released in the driver's briefing one week out from the event,)
Any queries just ask myself, Memto or Johnny, 👍
Just ensuring that everyone see's the changes, 
That's the second time I've confused the GT300 Endurance Series with this one. They both run back to back on the same days on the same bi-weekly schedule. I even spent an afternoon recently testing the wrong car on the wrong track after getting the two series confused with each other. Maybe you should just disregard any future babble I put forth 
ANFD.
