Race Start Procedure
The following procedure will be used for all race start:
- All races will have a manual double file race start.
- Drivers must form up from the moment double file race start is announced by race engineer.
- Drivers must maintain 70km/h from the exit of the 2nd last corner. Small increases and decreases are allowed to form the grid.
- The Lead two drivers must travel at adequate pace for the grid to form. This will mean they need to slow down at times. Check the map
- Drivers are not to weave or excessively increase speed once the race start is announced.
- Drivers must be side by side with their row partner and on their side of the track.
- Drivers must maintain a reasonable gap to the cars ahead prior to the lights going green, regardless of the speed of the cars ahead.
- GO on the GREEN light, regardless of where on track the green light is given.
- Race start will be saved by the commentary team.
Disconnections
- If a server disconnects during a practice or qualifying session, it will be restarted with the remaining time.
- If a server disconnects during a race, it will be restarted with the remaining race time. Restart positions will be set as they were prior to the Disconnection regardless of who completed pitstops. Pitstop requirements will be set to 1 if longer than half race distance, no pitstop is required if less than half the race distance remains.
- If a driver disconnects during practice or qualifying, then they can re-enter the server.
- If the driver had completed qualifying, they start the race from their qualifying position. A Server restart may be required
- If a driver disconnects from the grid or lap 1 of a race, then the race will be restarted from the qualifying positions.
- If a driver disconnects after lap 1, then they cannot re-enter the server and will be classified as Did Not Finish (DNF).
Lap 1
Big braking points at Hell Corner and Griffins Bend will be hotspots for incidents on lap 1. This is an endurance race and patience needs to used on Lap 1 to get through cleanly. The run up to the cutting is another hotspot as the racing line narrows into this section.
Drivers will need to pay particular attention to this section on lap 1. Work really hard on pulling the car up early for turn 1 & 2 and even though a gap may present itself, it will close just as quickly. Care needs to be taken when following another car. Prepare to brake earlier and back off early.
Contact & 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.
There has been an increase in the number of incidents caused by nose to tail contact. Drivers need to take care and back off slightly sooner especially prior to large braking zones. If you are not close enough to get an overlap during the early part of the braking zone then you will need to back off earlier. The gap that you might think is there will close very quickly if you do not have an overlap. The onus is on the car attempting the overtake to make it clean.
In most case, incidents are being redressed. This is a reminder to redress the incidents stated above.
Race Start & Formation Lap
Race start will be a long formation lap and double file manual race start. Make sure you stay side by side with your grid partner. You will need to watch the Proximity Indicator to line up with the car beside. Look at the split timer in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. When you cross the 2nd sector timing line ensure you are in the correct grid position. If you are not, you can drive through the other cars to get into the correct position.
Pitlane
You can cross the pit exit line as long as it is safe to do so and you do not cause a collision. When exiting pitlane, make note of the proximity of other cars via the map and split times. If there is traffic you need to stick to your side of the track. Moving across the racing line may result in incidents.
Blue Flags
When a driver receives a notification of blue flag, it means that they are being approached by a car that has completed a greater number of laps. The blue flag will be shown when the lead car is within 2 seconds of the lapped car. The lapped car must do the following:
- Not attempt to race the lead car
- Move out of the way and concede track position within a reasonable timeframe (within four corners) after the initial blue flag.
- Concede track position in a safe manner to avoid impeding the lead car.
- Do not make drastic change of direction, change of speed or brake while in front of the lead car.
- Move out of the way on a straight or well before the braking zone.
- A reasonable timeframe to concede position is within four corners.
If a lapped car has the speed to pull away from and not impede the lead car, then the lapped car has one lap to pull out of blue flag range.
Protest Reporting
If you wish to protest can incident from the race then your first point of contact will be your team captain. The onus is on you to provide replay footage for the protest, make sure you have a button mapped to save replays.
Thank you for a Season of brilliant racing and lets end on a high. Good luck!
