I won't be there for the Dec 10 race, but the race will be on, with some slight alterations. Read this post here:

If anyone wants me to assess penalties, I'll need someone to upload the replays afterwards.

Guys, I have a Christmas dinner Dec 17. Do you want to race a different day that week, or postpone that week altogether (bearing in mind that we already are skipping the following two weeks Dec 24 and 31).

Tick off what days of the week you CANNOT race that week.

Start Times
Practice: Track opens from 6:30pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time
Qualifying: 9:00pm (NOTE: now 10 minutes long)
Race 1: 9:10pm
10 mins warmup before races 2 and 3. The server will be restarted before races 2 and 3 to adjust ballast and grid.
Race 1 grid positions are set by qualifying; race 2 and 3 grid positions are set by the results of the previous race.
 
Weather
Some races will be in an unpredictable amount of rain, depending on the current weather conditions at the real track. Wet races will be preceded by an extended 15 minute warmup session, unless qualifying is on a wet track.
 
Ballast
Ballast is adjusted at the end of each race, according to the difference of each racers' fastest lap from the average, and carried into the next round.
Once a racer has completed 6 races, ballast changes are reduced to 70%.
 
Points
Points in each race of a 2 race round are 15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Points in each race of a 3 race round are 10,9.5,9,8.5 etc down to 1. Penalties are halved for 3 race rounds.
Each driver's worst round is dropped.
Ballast bonus: 0.5 point awarded at the end of each race for every whole 15 kg of ballast carried.
Fastest lap bonus: 1 point awarded at the end of each race for the driver who sets the fastest laptime.

Penalties
* For an avoidable collision (primarily from the rear) that causes a driver to lose position or leave the track, the punter will receive a 2 point penalty, and each unavoidably disadvantaged driver will receive a 2 point bonus. Redress is optional after an incident.
* A side to side shunt that forces a pass that was not reasonably there, or squeezing someone off the track, will receive a 1 point penalty (and 1 point bonus to the impacted driver).
* A collision that causes the impacted driver to have to return to the pits to resume the race will attract a 6 point penalty (and 6 point bonus to the impacted driver).

Thanks to Tim and the use of his server, the FTarget trial race is on next Tuesday.



Server update: The server owner is flat out at work at the moment, and will try to get the server up when he can, but it's a low priority for him at the moment. We'll have to be patient a bit longer.

I've updated the first post in the Pat Phillips cup thread here http://www.xgn.com.au/index.php?topic=57.0
to put in the cleanest driver in each season award.

The following names feature in it:

Stephen Perryman (4 seasons)
Rob Jeffery (3 seasons)
Wally Masterson (3 seasons)
Dave O'Shea (2 seasons)
Bruce Rook (1 season)
Darren Brown (1 season)
