A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a 10 second penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap.

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord and in game. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify who you are.

Info on scoring/penalties here

Remember being there for that one Brian, was working there but a great weekend spectating.
I do wonder... if 'that' move happens in the RD race, will there be a stewards enquiry?
...could blame it on dizziness from the super-short track I guess

Those Rotters in Primeras as Ernie would say..................... except Ernie is in a Primera!!

I wonder if Ernie is happy with this track. I mean it has no silly chicanes. Nevertheless I can't get warm with this layout. I bet it will be the hardest 2 races of the season. No time to breath at this track.

I want to suffer how they suffered

You can blame he internet archive that was used to build this series. Most of the season, things like the points, tracks, etc was based on late 90's BTCC seasons.

Was considering coming along until I got to the Discord bit - unfortunately there is zero chance of me using my real name in Discord.
Never mind.

Hey, I will need to add you to server manually to race, due to the BOP. Just let me know which car you want an hour before the server starts.

Felling quite unwell, So not sure how long i will race for but will try to do both race if i can.

 

[Medilloni]

Sorry for the late notice Brian, won't be on tonight, arthritis is driving me nuts.

(though I might watch later )

 

[Kek700]

Confused, my pit stop settings disappeared, went into the pits, somehow the server deleted my pit stop menu from one race to another.

Phew, that was tiring. In the first race I did what I could and was happy with the result. In the second race it became unfun for me. I wanted to let Ernie pass because I knew he was going to change with the soft tires. But that went terribly wrong. It was probably the wrong place for me to release the accelerator pedal. Suddenly I see every man (and his dog ) passing me. After that I made mistake after mistake in traffic. But whatever, it was still fun.

Learned: Be careful where you release the accelerator to let ONE car pass.

It was fun today!
