netKar PRO / Welcome to the XGN netKar PRO League
« on: September 21, 2013, 08:59:00 PM »
The XGN netKar PRO racing league is about close racing in a competitive but friendly environment. Close racing in a tight field is favoured over lonely hotlapping in a race. Close racing is achieved by assigning ballast to faster cars. After each race, the faster your best lap is compared to the average driver's fastest lap, the more ballast you carry the next race. Your ballast can vary up and down from race to race. After each race, you get bonus championship points the more ballast you carry.
 
The league has the usual expectations about maintaining a respectful attitude to other drivers and racing cleanly and fairly. Drivers are helpful and setups and tips are freely shared. It is worth pointing out that in the event of a race incident that puts another car off the track, redress is not required, but will attract a post-race point penalty.
 
League races are held on Tuesday nights, and a typical season, racing one car, might go for 6 or 7 rounds with a short break between seasons. A typical race night schedule is:
  • Practice 8:30pm (all times AEST)
  • Qualifying: 9:00pm
  • Race 1: 9:10pm
The race night format is typically 2 or 3 sprints. Some races will be in the wet.
 
The server is called www.xgn.com.au and is usually up 24x7 with the next week's track/car combination. You can read about server details here.
 
Most league members use TeamSpeak for in-game chat [download]. TeamSpeak server details are here.

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).

I'm back from holidays in the Flinders Ranges, where all I could see on my phone was that the forum appeared to be down.

Good work by the admins to get us back on our feet, but really, @&#*@&#@!!!!

I had all the rules, points system, all the stickies... all gone. Lesson learnt: keep my own backup of the important stuff. Oh well, I'll start putting it all back together. At least we're back on the air.
