    Welcome all to Season 17!
    Each week there will be a briefing for that Sunday's race, and it is important you read it and understand it.

    This Sunday is Round 1-3 Qualifying (R1-3Q), of which the results will help finalise our divisions. (Technically it is R1,3,4Q)

    The 3 tracks used are:
    Laguna Seca
    Brands Hatch GP
    Suzuka Circuit

    The night is a 45min Qualifying session, run in practice mode. Tyre/Fuel wear will be at x0. Tyres are Sports Mediums

    PLEASE TRY TO AVOID SLIP-STREAMING
    This is so we get an honest indication of everyone's pace

    Once 15min has passed, finish the lap you are on, and the Room Captains will take screenshots of the timing screen to get everyone's Fastest Lap (FL) and then post to their respective division threads
    Then the room will be reset to the next track and qualifying for 15mins will begin again, same rules as before.
    Finally another reset to the final track and qualifying for 15mins will begin again, same rules as before.

    Being that the night is run in practice mode, it would be wise to double tap your share button on your controller/wheel so that the session from your viewpoint is recorded in case of any incidents you may need to report (eg blocking/track limits). Remember to double tap again on completion of the session to save the recording. (This also ensures that if you disconnect, that your current FL at the time is recorded on your footage)

    If for any reason you are unable to attend, Room Hosts will try to have some rooms up to qualify in on Monday and Tuesday night. If you are in your own online room, a room Captain/Host must be present to confirm settings and submit your lap no later than Tuesday night.

    Just a heads up for those that don’t know. There is a Bathurst Tribute event 5/12 in the community Forum. Need about 10 or so more drivers to fill a second room. Looks like a great event, have a look, get involved (please)

    Round 1: Laguna Seca - 26 Laps - 14:30 Sunny - 17/10
    [​IMG]

    WELCOME to Season 17!!
    As always please take 2 mins to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night.
    If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regulations please ask!

    ROOM OPEN :
    Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:30 AEDST. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them.

    QUALIFYING :
    8:20 AEDST for 10 mins. We are using qualifying mode this season for qualifying.
    Once 10 mins has been reached, finish the lap you are on and park up off track.
    PITS ARE OPEN DURING QUALIFYING
    RACE START TIME :
    8:30 AEDST (once qualifying has completed)


    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS :
    This is up to the room host/captains. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I always look at 1 or 2 starts if required due to DSC, but as it gets later everyone needs to be aware of getting things going. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....
    SIGHT ISSUES:
    Ensure that you can see everyone on track. Before qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again.

    FALSE START CHECK :
    Please note that the start type is Grid Start with False Start Check
    Please practice this so you know what to expect. Simply, you hold the brakes on until the lights go from all lit, to none lit

    TURN 1 LAP 1 :
    This has the potential to ruin someone's night if we don't use our heads! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first phase with ZERO contact. Give room and run in your 'lane' till you have space to run the normal race line. If your unassisted tap causes someone to spin, you need to redress.

    TRACK LIMITS :
    As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage.
    Please be careful not to get involved with any cars in the pit lane exiting while along the main 'straight' and also especially careful not to cut the exit of the corkscrew.
    @Rangeraus plans to have a lap guide up later in the week

    CONTACT :
    Is to be avoided at all times..... If you rear end someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Side by side 'rubbing' is racing, within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room.
    If you bump someone and they end up off track or teleport back to the corner entry, you must wait for them to rejoin and get back up to speed.
    Show each other RESPECT! It is difficult enough to drive the car at the limit on your own, without someone squeezing you within a millimeter of the grass.
    So be patient and show respect to your fellow drivers.
    If you are redressing contact, please do so out of the way of other cars, off the racing line, or if there isn't much room, off track.

    TYRES : Sports Mediums

    PIT ENTRY :
    Please attempt to follow the pit entry lane. Failure to do so may result in a penalty (especially in the instance another driver is affected).
    Do not cut the solid yellow line on the right hand side of the pit lane entry. (left solid yellow line do not worry about it)


    PIT EXIT :
    Please attempt to follow the pit exit lane, Penalties will be adjudicated in similar fashion to Pit Entry. Please be aware of cars approaching on the straight.
    Be careful when exiting that you don't move across the track impeding incoming cars. For cars exiting T2, please give room to drivers as they exit the pits.
    NOTE: Pitting is NOT COMPULSORY


    BLUE FLAGS :
    Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

    STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS :
    This season the steward will be @Hatfield. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let him know via a PM.
    DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. Stewards will ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captain to make any decision.

    SAVE YOUR REPLAY :
    If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved!

    PARKING UP :
    If you are unable to continue to race, please enter the pits and leave your game paused without selecting tyres so that your car stays parked in the pits. Parking up off track activates yellow flags in the sector, and even though penalties are off, we have reports of penalties occurring for passes happening near the parked car.

    FINAL NOTE:
    Could all drivers please confirm their attendance for this Sunday by 'liking' this post in your division. If you are unable to attend, please post in reply as much in your division. This way we can figure out our reserves or if the room can start early in advance.
    (ALSO IF YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT ATTEND, PLEASE POST SAYING SO, SO THAT RESERVES CAN BE ORGANISED IN ADVANCE)
    If you do not post in your room thread or psn chat that you cannot attend, a spot may not be held for you for the following weeks race

    VIDEO: @Rangeraus has kindly offered to complete a track limits video so look out for that soon

    Please ensure all of the above is read for Round 1. From round 2 onward, only new information will appear outside of the spoilers to make future reading easier.

    @HighStakes123 If you're following someone on the out lap in quali and they have been faster than you in practice, if they are slowing to create some room to the driver in front, does it really make sense to try and pass them at the end of the out lap? Given the vast differences in pace across this division, just a little bit of common sense, courtesy and respect would make it a more enjoyable experience for all

    Overall it was one of the least enjoyable nights i've had with rooz

    Started 10th with the times quite close in the mid-field.
    Worked my way past a few cars early as mistakes were made then was following @HighStakes123 until he also made a small error to let me through and then eventually fell back with another error.
    @Viperzed had an off-track adventure and I made the pass while his tyres were dirty but he got me back, until he disconnected.
    Rest of the race just tried to keep it smooth and came home 6th

    I dont see the issue here - I caught up to you halfway around the lap and you were slow enough that I thought you were blending out of the throttle to let me through but didnt do it enough before the corkscrew.

    I passed you on the entrance to the left hander after the corkscrew which was enough time to make yourself space for your lap if you weren't planning on getting a tow.
