Rnd 5 of the season will be next Monday December 9th for the 2nd Sprint cup round, with 2x 30 minute sprint races in the same format as the real Blancpain Sprint rounds. Just a bit shorter then the real races which are 1hr each.
This will have a 10 minute midnrace pit window, with a mandatory stop to change tyres. there will be a 10 minute qualifying session prior to both races. Fuel is not allowed to be added during the race, dont be stingy with the free fuel as all you can do is fuel save or DNF if you dont start with enough.

NEW FULL FORMATION LAP MANUAL START PROCEDURE
After testing the full formation manual start procedure on Wednesdays warm up races these turned out pretty good and easily manageable, ideally everyone will join the discord channel for race nights to hear any directions regarding the race start.
The general rule will be to start single file and follow the leader, you can weave and warm your tyres up here but be aware of cars ahead and behind at all times. Do your best to avoid causing any issues for others, then the second last corner of the track start to line up double file (may change for some tracks and be in that rounds thread)
Everyone should be in formation by the time the field makes it around the last turn and cars on the main straight should maintain 80kmh until the green light is given.
Anyone going considerably early enough to gain an advantage here may be given a post race time penalty. Cars behind the leader aren't allowed to back up and then anticipate the green to get an unfair run on the cars ahead of them. Same with front row cars they arent allowed to accelerate before the lights are green.
Yanet's Weather Forecast
As Dynamic weather is still broken it will be another dry race weekend, we had enough rain the first 3 rounds so it will stay dry until weather is fixed in ACC servers. Misano looks to be a hot one with the hotlap server being mid day wit 30/36 temps and the race night sessions will be the same as the practice servers currently setup. Q2 should be similar to the hotlap server all other sessions likely a little cooler.
