    SUPPLEMENTARY RULES
    • Redressing is a thing - It's important to redress when you have caused another car to lose position. More info here
    • Start Formation - The Kunos start system isn't perfect and still allows cars to be a fair way out of place by the time the lights go green so we will continue to review starts as a matter of procedure. We will issue warnings or penalties to drivers that we believe are gaining an unfair advantage or causing a disadvantage to other drivers by being out of position.
      • Please respect other drivers and stay in your grid position
      • Do not stay 'ghosted' within any other car especially in the final phase of the formation lap
      • It is not acceptable to take another car's position before the start
      • If ACC fails to give a penalty for being out of position then the Admin team will issue a post race penalty
      • Driver's need to be side by side with their row partner and must maintain a reasonable gap to the cars ahead prior to the lights going green
      • Drivers should stop all weaving and brake warming as soon as the double file segment begins
      • Penalties WILL NOT BE CLEARED even if it seems to be a glitch - just take more care!
    GENERAL NOTES
    • Avoiding pre-start and Lap 1 Carnage! - Take extra care as the lights go green as all cars will be in a tight, accelerating pack:
      • Expect cars to be much closer to you and varying in speed due to all the others around so try to leave a tad more space.
      • Assume there are cars in your blind spots and on the other side of visible cars until the pack spreads out more.
      • In braking zones you must brake SIGNIFICANTLY earlier than you would in general racing.
      • Avoid sudden direction changes unless you are sure you are well clear.
      • If on a straight section don't drift - stay straight.
      • Approach each situation with caution but execute your driving with intelligence.
      • If you need to redress in this tight pack situation keep going until you can move out of the traffic safely before slowing down
    • Optional use of indicators - Should drivers wish to use indicators to assist with managing lapped traffic, they are to be used as they are used on the road - i.e. you should indicate which way you are going - if you indicate left, you go left. REMEMBER TO TURN THEM OFF AGAIN.
    • All drivers should read the "Rooz Etiquette guide' and "Rules & Regs" linked below before the start of the event.

    All important information for racing is available on our forums, however we strongly advise drivers to join our Discord server for for voice and text chat. Sometimes critical information such as server issues, race delays, last minute race format changes, instructions to a specific driver, etc. will be relayed only through the Discord voice channel and text chat. There is also a healthy dose of banter that just makes the round more fun :). Once you sign up for any Season at Rooz you'll be given extra Discord permissions for text chat.


    Discord voice chat rules and etiquette:
    • if you intend to chat you MUST use push-to-talk. No-one wants to hear your gear clicks, heavy breathing or barking dog in the background.
    • non-excessive chat and banter is OK in Practice sessions.
    • There should be minimal chat in Qualifying sessions - essential questions, statements, apologies etc. only.
    • There should be minimal chat in Race sessions - essential questions, statements, apologies etc. only.
    • If you become frustrated or angry at yourself or another driver please do not push your talk button. Keep it private!
    • Please do not conduct arguments over voice chat. Sort it out later!
    • Abuse will not be tolerated. There's no place for that stuff at Rooz!
    • Please wait until ALL drivers have completed the final lap of a race before discussing your race.
    • Admins may speak at any time in any session for obvious reasons.
    • Feel free to hang around in chat after the race. Many of us like to have a laugh about things that may have happened in the race and it can be a nice wind-down :)

    CUSTOM PAINTED SKINS
    The recent v1.8 update has changed the way in which custom liveries are implemented enabling us to re-enable their use in our league. In short, ACC now creates .dds files which are preload the into memory thus reducing or eliminating the serious join lag I'm sure we've all experienced in the past.

    Livery submissions are currently closed but may be opened at the mid point of the season for a second round of submission or updates.

    This short video linked below contains pretty much everything you need to know about sharing custom liveries and it is strongly recommended viewing.

    Thanks for racing at RaceOnOz

    Unfortunately I had my game close unexpectedly about 35 mins into the race while running second in class. No idea what happened, by the time I could get back in I was 2+ laps down. PC Fail… :(

    That rain in last 20 minutes was sadistic! Must have been @krunch revenge for his early chaotic exit.

    Satisfied with the result, second Silver class about 20s behind Marsh, lost 10s thanks to a 360 just after the hour mark but overall stayed out of trouble.

    Had a very good race with Ray Smith before the pit stops, no way he belongs in the AM class! :D

    Bad luck mate. I feel your pain.

    I also felt the sting of a technical glitch which put me in a similar position of multiple laps down. For reasons I'm yet to discover the ACC help screen overlay suddenly appeared in front of my eyes and I had no idea how to get rid of it quickly. Unfortunately it made me cause a crash at the corkscrew taking out other drivers. I then had to stop at the side of the road to try to fix it but my VR tracking went weird. I managed to eventually reset everything but by then I was so far back and couldn't be sure it wouldn't happen again that I decided to call it quits.

    Mate credit where credit's due - great job last night. "Early chaotic exit" is an understatement for my race. Truth be told as I was watching the broadcast I was almost glad I wasn't still in the race when I saw the rain start coming down!

    Thanks mate, really appreciate it. The Porsche was a nightmare at Spa, but definitely felt more confident to push harder at Laguna Seca. Hopefully I've got my technical gremlins out of the way and next race will be more positive.

    Unlucky mate, I feel your pain big time. I actually normally race in VR in iRacing and very rarely have any technical issues, but I've never been able to get the VR to work to my liking in ACC with my Reverb G2.
    Ironically mine closed out unexpectedly while I was racing on my monitor - I'm wondering if it was anything to do with me also streaming on Discord for a couple of friends to watch, although I've never had the problem before.
    In any case, it has been great to get back into ACC the last two weeks (I enjoy the driving much more than iRacing) with a great league and clean, hard but fair racing. Very refreshing!
