Season: 4 (2011)
Game(s) Required: Race On\ GTR-Evo\STCC the game and Race 07

This league will be on invitational basis only!

Some drivers participated in S1,2 and 3 will receive an invitation to join the league, after the invitations are send and replied the entry list will be updated. Interested drivers, with a licensed membership and ranking status, can apply for the available places but we decide who will eventually drive based on a few criteria:

- driving standards
- commitment
- participation in previous RD leagues

This means that some people will be disappointed but that is unfortunately the downside of this system. We might open up a second server for a second group that will be the feeder series for the next seasons.


Sign-up agreement

Signing up for the league is a contract that your signing meaning that if you sign off at any giving moment after signing up is a breach of the contract. Braking the contract will result in consequences that can go as far as your licensed member status beeing remove or you beeing forbidden to participate to any other RD leagues for a year.

Absense

This is the most important part of the league briefing you need to understand! If you are allowed to drive the in league we expect you to be present during all races of the season. 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: RDCCC S4
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.

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 48 hours of the finish of the race. Reports that come in too late might not be considered.

General League Rules

All the general league rules are written down in a document for the 2010 league season. Click here to read it! Additionnal rules or rule specifications might be added in the rule thread so make sure you read them and understand them.

Wel as mentioned, I use RTT so could see the weather during quali and made the call for a dry setup run which payed off, Q6.

When we went to race again sought the advice of RTT & was going to start on a wet setup but held out before going to the grid, saw it was drying up so opted for the dry setup again. Ran the whole race with a dry setup on slicks & did a 2 stopper which gave me the tyres to push hard all the way. Finished 8th, very happy, just keep Mr V at bay on the last lap.

Thx Yves for all your work on this league & for doing the skins for the BVM boys, great work. Grts to Greg & the rest of the podi boys. Special mention goes to the comentary of the race, not seen all of it yet but the part I had sounded great. See ya all at round 1.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

haha the commentators say i did not win a race yet.
I won an arca club event and like 4 nk pro races

 

[Yves Larose]

it usually happen when someone doesn,t join the grid before the last 10 seconds of the count down, in that case the broadcast team, i will make sure that they join the grid and quit for the next races so that won,t happen again.

@Yves: How is it possible i got blue flagged when i was starting from pole?
After the 3rd and final warning i decided to let Greg pass in order not to get disquallified.
Is this an error in the game itself or was there some other reason for it?
If i remember correctly it happend to me a few times before but all were on public servers.

I was 4'th spot on the grid and in front of me (in 2'nd) it was empty up to the very last second before the lights went of....

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Yves would you think its better to do a mannual formation lap and then rolling start?

 

[Toby Davis]

Yes it allows the comm team to build up some tension over a warmup lap, bit harder when it's straight into the race.

 

[Gregory Degreef]

yes i enter the grid in last seconde for my fuel

 

[Martijn van Bommel]

yes i enter the grid in last seconde for my fuel

Gggrrrrrr,so even when you dont have pole you find a way to snatch it back,hahahaha.:wink:
Lol,it is strange though.
No hard feelings btw Greg,obvious its a glitch/error in the game it self.

 

[Gregory Degreef]

SimBin man.. SimBin... :s

 

[Ivo Simons]

Still dont worry of being DQ'ed Martijn. Believe the server was set up with black only flag rules.
So you get the blue flag message but not the penalty.

Well,that's good to know for the official races.Thx
Got a bit nervous when i heard :"This is the 3rd and final warning.move over!"

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

hehe Greg great race man a 1 stopper haha. Ive been practising for days to find a way to do a 1 stop but i could not find one

 

[Gregory Degreef]

thx Bjorn
the only way to do it(for me)was shifting before the yellow light on RPM, down shift very late(a bit before the apex) and go only at 235-240kph on the long straight..

RDCCC S4 - Round 1 @ Birubi SouthernCross

Saturday February 19th 2011​

Track: Birubi SouthernCross
Mod: True2Life Racing Camaro Cup 2010
Skinpack: RDCCC S4 skinpack
Weather: Changeable via forecast​

Practice: a server will be set all day before the qualification
Qualification: 15 minutes Superpole ( 19:10 GMT )
Warm up: 10 minutes ( 19:25 GMT )
Race: 55 laps ( 19:35 GMT )​

Weather forecast​

Practice: Dry. Starts around 20 degrees, ends with 24 degrees
Qualify: Dry around 24 degrees the whole session, Thunderstorm will approach but it remains dry.
Warmup: Dry. Starts around 24 degrees, ends with 26 degrees. Thunderstorm is now near the track, and you can hear it.
Race: Thunderstorm is very close. When the rain will start it will be a heavy situation with a peak of 90 procent rain. When it rains it will continue till the end of the race.​

Starting procedure​

please take note that all races this season will use a standing start instead of a manuel rolling start like it was announced in the Intro and Infos thread.

Cutting rules

2 wheels must remain between the 2 white lines at all time.

Pitting procedure

The pit entry and exit is tricky and there is no white lines at either place so to avoid any pitting incident use the quick chat button that was use at the test race saying " (your first name) Pitting in" and when exiting the pit you have to remain on the left side of the track until turn 1.

Disconnection procedure

it might occur that someone get disconnected from the server at some point so here's how its go. if you get disconnected from the server during qualification and you haven't went on track your allow to rejoin the qualification and to set a time. in the case that you have already set a time and get disconnected your not allow to set another time so it mean you'll be starting at the back of the field, if you break the rule there will be a penality. in the case someone get disconnected during the warm up the server will be put back in practice to allow the driver (s) to rejoin and those driver (s) will then start the race at the back of the field and we will then go back to the warm up and complete it and the race will now use a manual rolling start. we will do 2 formation laps, the first one will be for doing the grid in the right order in a safe way, once your in the right starting place keep the left side of the track so the driver(s) that need to get at the front of grid can safely pass on the right side of the track. the procedure will be given in chat by the race director (Yves Larose) so it is important that you follow them and remember your qualification place.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

good try Greg I was shifting around 6000 rpm

 

[Yves Larose]

Note

after some more testing i have decided to add 3 laps to the race distance just to be sure that the one pitstop strategy wasn't possible

 

[Chris Sykes]

Can't wait for the season to kick off and looking forward to a good race here next week, I shall be ready for this , see you guys there.
