http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/procedure-for-post-race-complaints-or-protests.193/

For everyone have a read of the tips/tricks/fixes for pertinent information regarding entering the server, race starts and pitstops.
https://www.raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/acc-tips-tricks-fixes.4198/

Please read through the following information. Individual track briefings will be as short as possible.

Contact and Redressing
ACC is unforgiving and contact will result in an accident. The usual Rubbin’-is-Racin’ doesn’t apply for ACC. Contact should be avoided at all costs. If you knock another driver off track, don’t drive past them if you have caused the contact. Give the spot back, and then continue your race. The 2 most common mistakes in contact are rear end contact where you 'punt' someone off, or if you get in too hot, and make contact on the side as they take their normal line.

Protests and Stewards
If something happens in the race that you feel is unfair or rough driving that affects you or is against the spirit of the league, please save your replay and let us know through the stewards group. Don’t crack the s and blow up. The reason for the stewards group is to apply penalties in cases where drivers have done the wrong thing.

For ACC we have Stu, Rolz and Hatfield as the Stewards Group. I will act as a post box only. If you wish to submit a protest send me a PM and I will forward to the Stewards Group then post the outcome to the forum. It is up to you to record the replay and highlights to provide evidence for a protest.

Disconnections
In the event of a Server dropout, the server will be restarted with the following procedure:

• Server Jedi (JJ_Penguin) will setup the server to have 5min prac & Race with remaining time + 3mins
  5min practice is to give people time to re-enter the server. LEAVING PITLANE IS PROHIBITED.
• The race will start as usual, the extra 3 mins will allow for drivers to form up and perform a rolling start as per Sunday Night League rules.
• If an individual disconnects from the Server during Qualifying, you will be able to re-enter. You will NOT be able to enter the server Once the race starts. If you disconnect on lap 1 then the Server will be restarted.

Race Time & Weather
Weather will be based on Real World forecast for race day, within reason and within the parameters allowable in ACC. Forecast will be taken from https://www.myweather2.com/motor-racing.aspx

Pitstops
Mandatory Pitstop: 2
Pit Window: None
Race refuelling: Yes
Mandatory Tyre: No
Mandatory Fuel: Yes

Blue Flags
The Following rule is from the Rooz Rulebook and will be administered in ACC. Breaches will incur penalties if deemed necessary by stewards.

(ix) If you are being lapped do not attempt to race the passing car. Blue flag rules apply. Meaning you must concede track position to drivers on the lead lap within a reasonable time frame. If you are battling for position with another driver some concession can be made, but at your next available opportunity (such as before the braking zone on a straight), you should concede track position. A rule of thumb for a reasonable time frame is within four corners, unless you can pull away (out of slip stream range) during this time due to fresher tyres for example.

A Lapped car has 4 corners from the 1st blue flag to yield to he lapping car. Blue flags beyond the 4th corner may incur penalties on a case by case basis. If a lapped gains back their lap by overtaking a car on the lead lap then they have 1 lap to break blue flag or they will be required to give the position back.

Weather

ignore the date & the temps cant be done in-game

Lap 1
Tyre will be stone cold for the majority of the first lap. Extra caution is need for the braking zone for the chicanes. Give plenty of room and 'stay in your lane' through Snake and Dunlop. Its a 1hour race so you can't win it on lap 1 but you can lose it for yourself or someone else.

Pitstops
Check that you have selected a fresh set of tyres before the session begins, especially if you are loading a setup. Make sure that a fresh set is also selected for your pitstop. This season requires 2 mandatory pitstops for fuel, tyres optional.

Race Start - Single file race start
Start procedure as follows:
- Perform short formation lap as usual.
- Once in-game green light is given, the leader will continue on at a constant pace. ie 100Kph
- Drivers are to fall into single file line.
- No one is allowed to pit on this formation lap.
- Race will start when the leader crosses the start/finish line at end of lap 1. Leader cannot accelerate until this point.
- Drivers that receive drive through penalties are allowed to drive ahead and complete the penalty, but they must start from pitlane and cannot go until the field has gone passed.
- If anyone is forced to start from the pits then they can leave and take their qualifying position in the order.

Pit Exit
Drivers must NOT cross the pit exit line when re-entering the track.

Track Limits
There are a couple of critical points that may catch people out, especially in qualifying. Both chicanes and the last turn may catch you out.

Replays & Protests
Drivers must assign a button for 'Save Replay'. The game only records 3 - 4 mins. If you are involved in an incident, saving the replay will be critical for any protests. Press the Save Replay Button 30 - 40 secs after the incident to ensure the moment is recorded. You have until midnight of the following day to put a protest in.

Party Chat
Party Chat will be setup for both Servers. I suggest joining the chat for practice, then you can choose to leave or start your own, that is up to you. But try to join the server chat at the end of the race. Personally, I prefer to have chat off during races.

Good Luck

Hi All,

Great start to the season on Tuesday. The races was very entertaining and the results were great to see. Just a couple points to follow up on:

- Demo1 will be broadcasting the in-game chat. Be mindful that is you do talk during the race that you could be head in the broadcast. This brings an added element to the entertainment. Try to keep the swearing to a minimum and don't direct it at anyone. Any abuse or harassment will be dealt with harshly.
- Room Disconnects are something we have to deal with in Online racing. It is ok to make comments venting your frustration but do not direct it at anyone.
- To clarify the regulations regarding disconnections and the servers. I will look after the Pro & AM Server and Kman will look after the Pro/Am server. Thank you Kman much appreciated. Following will apply:

• If a Driver disconnections, on the Grid or on Lap 1 then the Room will be restarted with the same pit window and pit requirements.
• If a Driver disconnects, anytime after lap 1 then it is treated like a car failure and they cannot re-enter the server, even if the Server Disconnects.
• If the Server disconnects, then the race will be restarted with the remaining time +3mins. If the race was past half way then there will be no pit window and 1 pitstop remaining.

- There has been a number of people join recently and we will be making some changes to Round 2 to ensure everyone has an opportunity to race. This will be announced after Round 1 has finished.

The Pro/Am race has had 250 views and the Am race over 100 views. This is really encouraging and you all need to be commending on the entertainment you're providing. I can't wait for Tuesday!

- There is to be no weaving, excessive acceleration or braking after the last corner.

Pit Exit - this rule has been modified
Drivers will be allowed to cut the Pit exit line. It is their responsibility to ensure they do NOT impede other drivers. If a driver cuts the pit exit line and their is a collision or incident the penalties will be applied.

If a lapped gains back their lap by overtaking a car on the lead lap then they have 1 lap to break blue flag or they will be required to give the position back.

In instances where a lapped car and car in the lead lap are in close proximity, the car on the lead lap takes priority regardless of the situation.

Good Luck

Stability Control
Prior to the latest update Stability Control would help but it would be slower. It has been allowed at 20% in the servers as it would help stop people from spinning. Since the latest update, 10% SC has been found to be 0.5 - 1 second quicker. In order to keep a level playing field, SC will be turned off in the Servers from now on.

Race Start Procedure
So there is no confusion going forward, the race will start when the leader crosses the Start/Finish line as indicated on the Map. This does not coincide with the end of the grid.

See the below image

Commentary, Broadcasts and Spectator Mode
Going forward there will be two slots in Spectator Mode. The Round 1 AM enduro server was very unstable with 3 People in Spectator Mode. I thought it was a miracle the Pro Enduro race on Saturday lasted the full length. I am doing what I can from my end to ensure the server works on race night and limiting the number of people in Spec Mode is one of them. Anyone that wants to join the commentary or enter Spec Mode needs to get approval to do so.

There are spots left in the Pro & ProAm servers and are to be used by the Server Captain only. It is so the server captain can monitor the race in case the server needs to be restarted and to get the race order. For the ProAm race last week that was Kman.

- Cars must maintain approximately 100Kmh and cannot not accelerate until the car in front accelerates. There will be no overlap before the start/finish line.

Pit Exit - this rule has been modified
Drivers will be allowed to cut the Pit exit line. It is their responsibility to ensure they do NOT impede other drivers. If a driver cuts the pit exit line and their is a collision or incident the penalties will be applied.

Lap 1
The 'Go' line for the single file lap is the start/finish line shown above. Care needs to be taken at la Source, Eu Rouge, Radillon and Les Combes on lap 1. There is the chance for carnage. Its a longer race and it can't be won on lap 1.

The race does start in the dark, so check you monitor settings and know how to turn your headlights on.

Pitstops
Check that you have selected a fresh set of tyres before the session begins, especially if you are loading a setup. Make sure that a fresh set is also selected for your pitstop. This season requires 2 mandatory pitstops for fuel, tyres optional.

If the leader does accelerate before the control line eg out of the last corner, then the next car takes control of the field and can't accelerate until they have crossed the control line.
- Staggered start is allowed but there is to be no overlap with the car in front and you cannot accelerate before that car.
- Start infringements will be looked at on a case by case basis.
