Season 12 - Division 3

And that was a cunning strategy to start on inters while the rest of us struggled home on RS in 40+% water. I thought I had that one until half a lap from home Turbo and Wolfy passed me like I was standing still (more like a waltz really)

Thanks, I will be doing my best to replicate that in the final results, I don't think anyone is going to dominate (could be wrong) and it is going to be an epic championship right to the end.

True, it is only a rough guide, starting up front in these very short races is very important. The real season will have tyre wear to add to the mix as well.

if he had signed up earlier he would probably be in a team, but as it stands all the bidding is complete.
If someone pulls out he can take their spot but otherwise he will be assigned a team after round 1

DRIVER BRIEFING

Wear - Normal
Penalties : Off


Ok Guys, PLEASE TAKE 5 MINS TO READ THE FOLLOWING AND LIKE IT WHEN YOU HAVE READ IT AND UNDERSTAND IT !

Welcome to Season 12.......hope its a great start to the season, 13 laps of Le Mans.

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 penalized by the stewards group. As we run with penalties off, there are multiple areas to be careful of with track limits. BE WARNED....IF YOU CONTINUALLY EXCEED TRACK LIMITS EXPECT A PENALTY.

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 : Is plenty of spots to pass here, when a car pulls along side you are EXPECTED to give racing room. Contact in being aggressive trying to defend will be looked at, better to give room and continue the fight.
TURN 1 LAP 1 : Dont need to be a rocket scientist to know that you cant 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 here lads and give room to those around you. Back half of the grid need to brake a little earlier and not cause chaos with kamikazee passes.

PIT ENTRY / EXIT : DO NOT swerve across the front of other cars on entry. Drivers should remain right on approach for a clean entry into pit lane. On EXIT, drivers should remain within the exit lines, aware of fast approaching cars.

BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Best to get off the race line, and with a small lift let them go. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS: This season we will be using the new stewards group for racing infringements and protests. Many thanks to the guys who have put their hands up to volunteer. 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...we are still to link in the collated rules and regs.........

SAVE YOUR REPLAY ! : Please remember to save your replay 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 any incident.

Good luck to everyone, please show RESPECT to other drivers, and race hard but FAIR.

So @Tony Mail is now in TLR

@Bluemoon and @Tony Mail ... Friends list?

I assume so... He did some races last season

Division B championship has been added, see OP

I know at least 1 person would like it...

The off-track tarmac on the straights between T1 & T4 on the map will be acceptable to use. BUT not the corners (including entry/exit).
The two kinks after T1 and before T4 will be considered as 'straight'
