Reply to this thread to sign up for season 8, racing the Lotus Evora GX and GTC.
The season will run for 6 weeks, from Aug 11 to Sep 15. And yes, Zandvoort will be one of the tracks.
You must drive one car of your choice in the first half of the season, and the other car in the second half (compulsory car change).
Format
15 min sprint followed by 30 min race (reverse top 10 from 1st qual, rest the same) with 1 pitstop. Fuel multiplier and tyre multiplier in race 2 = 4.2x.
Two rounds will be 50 min races with 1 pitstop (fuel and tyre multiplier = 2.4x)
Schedule
R1, Aug 11: Imola - 9 laps, 17 laps
R2, Aug 18: Zandvoort - 9 laps, 18 laps [track download, 30 pit boxes (http://www.mediafire.com/download/fh04vl4ups12dwz/ks_zandvoort_OSRW30PITS.rar)]
R3, Aug 25: Silverstone - 24 laps (50 min)
-- Compulsory car swap --
R4, Sep 1: Nurburgring GP - 8 laps, 15 laps
R5, Sep 8: Mugello - 8 laps, 17 laps
R6, Sep 15: Spa - 21 laps (50 min)
Start Times
All times are EASTERN standard time.
Practice: 7:30pm, 60 mins
Qualifying 1: 8:30pm, 20 mins
Race 1: 8:50pm
Ballast
Success ballast will be used as per the BTCC. At the start of a round, the top 10 in the season standings will get ballast, and then the top 10 finishers of race 1 will get success ballast for race 2.
Race 2 grid will be set by race 1 finish order.
75kgs – 66kgs – 57kgs – 48kgs – 39kgs – 33kgs – 27kgs – 21kgs – 15kgs – 9kgs
Points
15 min race, 24 points down.
30 min race, 48 points down.
50 min race, 72 points down.
Bonus points and penalties are 2x and 3x in the longer races.
- Team points are the accumulation of the individual team member's points. If a reserve stands in for an absent team member, they score points for the team.
- Each driver's worst round is dropped, and the worst team round is also dropped.
- Fastest lap bonus: 1 points awarded at the end of each race for the driver who sets the fastest lap time.
Penalties
- If a driver hits someone carelessly in turns 1 or 2 at the start of a race and it pushes them off the track or spins them, they get a 4 point penalty, and the driver hit will get a 4 point bonus. You still have to redress any gained positions.
- If a driver gets two turn 1 or 2 penalties in a season, they will have to skip the first qualifying session of the next round and start the race from the back of the grid.
- No other penalties will apply. The usual respect for other drivers and redressing unfairly gained positions will be expected as always.
Rules
- Track Limits. The Pit Lane Penalty app is mandatory. More than 3 cuts will result in a 10 second post-race penalty. Details of the app are here: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=758.0 (http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=758.0)
- Redress. If you gain position advantage over another driver by colliding with them such that their car leaves the track, or by cutting the track yourself, you are expected to redress your position as soon as safely possible. Gaining position by "reasonable" side-by-side contact is allowed, but rear collisions must be avoided. This won't be enforced. It is an honour system.
- Track Re-entry. You must always re-enter the track with extreme caution. Any collision on re-entry must be redressed.
- Assists. Driving assists like ABS and TC can be used only if available on the car. There is no forced driving view.
- Map and Mirrors. To assist in knowing where other cars are around you and on track (especially for leaving pits and re-entering the track after a spin), it is recommended to use the virtual mirror (F11) and turn on the track map which shows the nearby cars.
- Tyres. There are no restrictions on tyre choice.

Yes Please ;D
-
I will have a go :)
-
In please
-
Yessing please.
-
Yes please Mr Wally :D
-
Im in but will likely miss a few rounds but should be good for the first 3 or so at least.
-
Chap and I will be racing for Aleph Null Ltd, so could you please add us to the teams list as well Wally?
-
I'm keen.
-
Count me in . .
-
Little too late for this Kiwi.
Race 1 doesn't get going until 10.50pm for me.
Maybe next season.
Best of luck & Enjoy

I wonder if it would hurt to make practice 30 minutes?
-
I wonder if it would hurt to make practice 30 minutes?
This race start time has been a longstanding compromise between people who can't get there earlier (kids) and who can't finish too late (early start the next day).
-
These days practice is the only time I get to tune and practice with car and track.
-
I'm in please
-
Can you put me at the bottom of the queue please? I am only here for the first 3 races.
-
I had a look at using ballast, but the same weight affected both cars' lap times differently in my testing, because they have different weights and different power to weight ratios. Ballast will be best suited to single-make races by the looks of it.
Or I could use a success ballast, like in the BTCC (http://www.btcccrazy.co.uk/btcc/success-ballast-significantly-increased-for-2015/).
Having previously handicapped the top five drivers, ballast will now be distributed across the top ten in the championship entering a weekend and then based on race results for the rest of the event.
The handicap is now awarded as follows: 75kgs – 66kgs – 57kgs – 48kgs – 39kgs – 33kgs – 27kgs – 21kgs – 15kgs – 9kgs.
That would probably work well enough. In that case, I wouldn't have a reverse grid.
To put the weights into perspective, I found that 100kg slowed the GTC down by 1.8 seconds, and the GX by 0.5 seconds. So 75 kg would be quite reasonable.
-
Count me in :)
-
Can everyone who's signed up please nominate whether they want to start in the GX or the GTC.
-
GTC Please Wally
-
GX for me for the first half please Wally :)
-
Yes Please Wally - GX for me

From memory arnt both cars very similar? would it be easier for everyone to be in the 1 car for ballast?

They have similar lap times, but the GX turns in sharper and doesn't have TC or ABS. The GTC is easier to drive. They're different enough to make it interesting.
-
Can you put me at the bottom of the queue please? I am only here for the first 3 races.
If there are no reserves once Gratulin drops out, I'll back fill his spot.
-
I will start the season in the one with no abs please

That's the GX.

I will start with the GTC thanks Wally
-
I wonder if it would hurt to make practice 30 minutes?
Does it really matter how long practice is, qualy starts at a certain time and so practice can be from whenever the server starts up as it makes no real difference. Its not like your limited to only 30 minutes practice for the week

It depends which end of practice you shorten by 30 minutes ;)
-
Then don't you just mean to move the race earlier, practice can still be all the time from server up til qualy.
-
i'll be in
-
I'm in =)
Thanks for the message Wally.
-
Aleph Null Ltd, both Chap and I, will start with the GX please Wally. 8)
-
I'll mix it up and start in the GTC Wally. Thanks.
-
yes ok with the GTC please
-
Sign me up please.
If it helps I don't mind which car I use but if I need to pick one first I'll go the GTC please.

Hi Wally,
if there is space, I would like to join you guys for this season. I was racing with the raceonoz guys recently, but can't do Monday anymore. I have no idea if I am competitive with you guys. I know I am quite slower than GB or Marty, but I recognize some of the other names here as more or less at my level, so hopefully I won't be last all the time.
I understand I should get PLP. Is there a password for teamspeak?
Of course, I will be happy to contribute to ts and server costs. I saw there is a thread for it.
PS: the test to register ("I am a sheep shagger. Where am I from?") is not checking if I am human, but if I am Australian. I had to google "sheep shagger" to figure it out. My first thoughts were "Scotland" and "Sardinia", though, if you are interested.

Hi Grat and welcome to XGN. You're not related to member Gratulin, are you? :)
Yes, please download the PLP app from this thread: http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=758.0
I have PM'd you the password. On race night, I'll make sure you can get into the AC channel.
That human check stuff is out of my control, I'm afraid. Anyway, it seems you're human :)
-
Don't worry grat I've seen you in Marty's servers and you're quicker than me so won't be last :)
-
Thank you guys!
I am not related to Gratulin, as far as I know...
As for the car: I think I'll go for the GTC first.
Hooroo for now (the human verification is like a course in Australian culture!)
-
I start in the GX please Wally.
Also can we enable stracker on the practice server Marty? I like to see how my times compare.
-
Count me in . .
Sorry didn't spot the "pick a car bit" so I will have the GX thanks...
-
GX also please =)

Hey guys,
I would love to join the Tuesday night league.
I have been out of the game for a long time but I do have previous league racing experience. Was part of the Ausfactor Leagues back in the day and have still been racing a bit just not online. I won’t be fast but I know what the blue flag means and I race clean.
Would love to join you guys tomorrow in my GTC if you will have me.
Cheers,
Josh

Dear Wally,
Rolz and I would like to announce the creation of
Delayed Arrivals Racing

Thanks a lot!
-
Ha! I was eyeing off that Kelloggs skin!!
