If you happen to miss out on an event and go missing in action afterwards without giving any notice the race staff reserve the rights to terminate your licensed member status on RaceDeparment.

Incidents

It may happen that rules get violated. In such cases it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourages this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers.

No report = no investigation = no penalty

A report can be sent to the staff by private message. It must always contain:

o Name of the league: RDGTC S3
o The name of the reported driver (the violator)
o A link to a youtube or vimeo movie that shows the incident in various angles.
o A short description of the incident, without rant, along with the timestamp

You must always send the report with your own forum account. You can only send a report if you were actually in the race. Report from outsider will be not be considered.
After sending the staff will then investigate the incident. Incomplete reports will not be considered.

Reports must be sent within 24 hours of the finish of the race. Reports that come in too late might not be considered.

Info for all cars:

Optimal tyre temprature: 94 degrees
Optimal brake temprature: 500-650 degrees
Optimal oil temprature: 109 degrees

Info about tyres:

The spec tire of SCCA World Challenge GT is the Toyo RA1. It is a shaved treaded DOT tire in various
sizes but in one compound only. There is no “Hard, Medium, or Soft”, and all teams are required to use
the provided tire.
A “Sticker” (brand new tire) will have very good initial grip, but if not properly heat-cycled will then
fade fast, have poor grip, and not last a 50 minute race.
A “Heat-Cycled” tire is a tire that has been run hard for 2-4 laps and then has been left to cool. This
changes the properties of the tire such that it will not have the same high initial grip, but will maintain
its grip level and lifespan over a 50 minute race.

I couldn't help but notice that the Volvo S60 has been omitted from the car list. Is there a reason for this?

Rhys ? volvo s60 in RDGTC?

 

[Jari Vinnari]

Rhys ? volvo s60 in RDGTC?

RDGTC will use rFactor NAGT 1.51 mod which includes Volvo S60. Perhaps S60 is too good ?.
