I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me! :sick:
 
New season, new faces, so a question from me. What would you like to see added or taken out of the threads? (yes i know alot of you dont like track history but Adam made me) I liked the race recaps from last season.


The sprint race was a destruction derby, and the rolling start was designed to reduce crashes in the first few corners, do you think it worked? I’m not a fan of rolling starts. I like the skill required in this game to get a perfect launch.


Will McLaren be competitive with aRenault engine? They better be after all the talk of them having the best chassis on the grid.

What about driver profiles or maybe use Seeks montage feature with a bit more content such as results and standings. Also agree previous race feature was good but can take a longtime to type hence a further vote for Seeks lol. Other than that it’s great when it’s out on time lol. Nice work dave

No which is why I said in the preview I was nervous about it. It still boils down to impatience and I was surprised that some people didn’t get reviewed for there driving despite them being vocal about the standards of others. We all make mistakes but on the opening lap it’s just impatience

Hope so f1 needs a fast McLaren I love the team and of course I’m a vandoorne fan so very hopeful they can challenge. Renault need to keep improving like they are as well for this to happen


Didn’t congratulate the winners in the Algarve thread so well done @Gazza123 and @Scooby555

Rules and Regulations
This game polices itself fairly well. However, we still need some rules in place to run the league.
This will be a Gentleman's league, and although Rubbing occurs in racing, Any Intentional or Deemed Intention Contact to move an Opponent will not be tolerated. First Offense will be a Time or Points Penalty decided by a Consul of Drivers or Designated Stewards. If this Style of Driving continues you will not be invited to compete in any more races within the Series. This will be Enforced through Replay Video, and or Witnessing Drivers to determine if Contact was a Racing Accident or Purposeful. I highly encourage Drivers that believe they have been wronged to record their race and file a protest if Position is not given back on track.

Golden Rule
If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, you are required to slow (or stop your car if necessary) to let the other driver regain the position on you. This shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, and do not immediately stop your car on the racing line where it can cause further accidents.

If it's reported and confirmed that you do not allow the driver you disadvantaged to regain their position by the end of that lap then you will receive an immediate Penalty

Additional Rules
  1. When you have signed up for an event we expect you to be there. If for any reason you can not make it you can sign out up until one hour prior to the practice session. Signing up means you are committed to finishing the entire race.
  2. If you are involved in an accident, do not leave your car parked on the driving line where it can cause interference to other drivers or further accidents. Return to the pit box safely and repair your car to continue the race.
  3. If you accidentally leave the track for whatever reason you must wait until there is a clear, safe gap before rejoining the track. Upon rejoining the track you must get up to speed as quickly as possible without blocking the racing line.
  4. Never attempt U-turns on the racing line as you will cause an accident.
  5. Do not alter your line or braking for a faster car behind you. Unpredictable moves have a way of ending the race for both of you. Let the faster car dictate when and where to initiate a pass, and only then assist by easing off of the throttle.
  6. Try and discuss any incidents with the other drivers involved after the race in a friendly manner. If you feel stressed out by an accident then take 24 hours to calm down, review the replays of the incident and resolve it in a mature way via PM. Do not make angry posts about it on the forum. If you cannot resolve the problem then please contact the staff member whom organised your race via PM, sending them an incident report that follows the procedure outlined here.
  7. Follow all safety rules as if you were in a real car on a real track; use the pit speed limiter in pit lane, observe all safety flags and lights, no donuts in the pit lane or on the track, no deliberate distraction of other drivers, etc.
