The longest track on the Formula One calendar, Spa Francorchamps defines the word classic. 7km of winding roads laid out as a glorious spaghetti through the Belgian Forest, it is always a favourite among the drivers. Every corner is iconic, all laying claim to a historic Formula One moment. The circuit received a major makeover in time for the 2007 race, with The Bus Stop all the way to Eau Rouge changing radically, widening considerably. Run off was added to Raidillon and Pouhon. Nevertheless, only the best conquer this monster, will it be you?

DRIVERS BRIEFING R8 - Belgian Grand Prix - 44 Laps
Time of Day: Sunrise (5X)
Previous Winner: Jono



Please read the following carefully and 'like' it when you have read and understood it.

TRACK LIMITS : As per our rules and regs drivers must keep 2 wheels on the ripple strips or white lines at all times. We all make a mistake or 2, but if you are caught "continually and obviously" running outside the track limits to gain advantage you will be penalised by the stewards group. Eau Rouge and Raidillon (3/4/5) especially require extra care.

CONTACT : CONTACT IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES. If you make contact with the car in front, and gain an advantage you MUST REDRESS and give the place back. Failure to do so could result in a penalty from the stewards group.

PASSING : Passes are fairly common at Spa due to the long flat out sections, with the aid of two DRS zones. Don't go crazy though. Your opportunity to pass will arrive if you play it smart.

SWERVING : You are NOT permitted to swerve from side to side on the straights. Drivers may only change direction ONCE on corner entry.

TURN 1 LAP 1 : You do not need to be a rocket scientist to know that you can't win the race in the first corner, but you sure as hell can lose it for yourself and/or ruin another drivers races by either being too aggressive OR too defensive into T1. Use your brains and give room to those around you. Drivers in the back half of the grid need to brake a little earlier and not cause chaos with crazy passes. La Source is infamous for causing carnage, and the Kemmel Straight can cause a huge bottleneck on the run up to Les Combes.

PIT LINES : Please take the correct entry (max 2 wheels over the unbroken white lines either side on the pathway into the pits) and on exit, you may not cut the exit line AT ALL, otherwise you will receive a warning. It is STRONGLY recommended you turn pit assist on, so you do not spit yourself onto the racing line exiting the pits.

BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. You should be aware of the leaders coming up on you. Please do not slow down in a dangerous spot. Stick to one side of the road and do not swerve. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty. In addition, it is asked you move to the side instead of moving off the track and stopping. You are in a race too, you are just as much as part of the race as the leaders. Not holding up the leaders is paramount, but stopping on the side of the track causes unnecessary yellow flags, which can interrupt a battle for position.

STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : We will be using the stewards group for racing infringements and protests. The specific Stewards group thread will have all the info in it, regarding rules and regs, and the protest procedure. Please read it and understand how it works.

PENALTY POINTS: For this season you can only be awarded Penalty Points if you have been protested, fail to upload your pole position lap, make a track limit infringment on the lap, quit without retiring or spamming the PS4 Group Chat.

GROUP CHAT: The chat will be used to convey vital information between sessions. Please do not spam the chat during a qualifying or race session unless it is to warn drivers regarding lag.

QUITTING : This is a huge problem in this game, remember in this series, a safety car will bring you back into the fight. As usual, if you have had enough or need to leave, make sure you retire the car before leaving the lobby. Failure to do so will result in 3 penalty points against your name.

RECORD YOUR RACE!: Please remember to record your footage via pre recording it or saving it after the race. If you want to protest anything, we can only act on the info we have in front of us, failure to do so will not enable us to view things from your game perspective, and with some of the issues we have seen, this could have a massive influence on how the stewards group will view and rule on an incident.

I can't make it to my favorite race of the season.

Oh no really? That sucks so much dude

if i cant get my throttle pedal sorted, im out too (f*** *t)

What pedals do you have?

im on g29 standard issue pedals Jono. i thought it was a spring but it aint, the wires all look intact. the throttle is sticking open & i cant get full throttle out of it

throw some contact cleaner in there mate, give that a shot

So you're saying there's a chance I can beat you this week if you race...?

It's seemingly been a really long week. Got home from work yesterday thinking it was race night. Sadly realised it was only OzTag night.

Hammer will fix it. A hammer fixes everything.

yeah ive heard if you give it about 10 real hard hits, itll spring back to life!

I am a 100% starter for this

I had that issue with my accelerator but on monday I cleaned it up and used electronic spray on it. Hasn't had an issue since.

Alright, Itz wont be coming back, do you want a Sauber seat?

A seat is a seat yep ok

A teammate! Get excited Sauber fans (all 8 of them or something)

i thought you won last week after the penalties!

Not yet. It's still pending. Hopefully soon I'll be getting that winners trophy.

all sorted for tonite, new pedals test up good with a pb in tt after a few laps
grab your pommes frittes with mayo & a nice Belgian brew kids, we're off to spa!

@its-benny-racer
