If you are not on the pre-signup list don't worry. Each week we will start a new thread in the forum with a title like

"Season x - Race y - Trackname - SignUp"

You may request to be added to the signup list. You will need to check back regularily to see did anyone drop out and leave a free slot for you. Usually we get about 4-6 drivers drop out each week, so there is a still a good chance you could race. You must put your name on the list though. If you have clearly not read the rules you will be excluded.

Race Stewards
Myself (KarlosDaJackal), Sidewinder16 and Jayblue will review any dodgy incidents after the races. The only judgements avalible to the stewards after a race incident between 2 drivers will be
1. Driver A was at fault
2. Driver B was at fault
3. Both Driver A and Driver B were at fault
4. Racing incident, neither driver at fault.
Only the incident in question will be under review, not a drivers entire career. Penalties will be handed out by Me (KarlosDaJackal).

KarlosDaJackal · 21 August 07, 07:12

1. Your Forum name and Game name must match. Tags are acceptable. If you need to change your name create a new profile in game to match your forum name.

2. Race fair, avoid contact don't ram into the back of people. Make sure you know the car and track *before* you join the server. You must have your mirrors on. If you are in a car with bad mirrors, turn on the virtual mirror. Make sure you know the details of the race before the race.

3. Headlights - You may leave these on if you are starting to lap traffic. When lapping traffic you may flash your lights. Other acceptable use of lights include 1 blink for a thank you. Don't not flash your lights on the grid, or if passing for position or when the driver ahead is entering a corner.

4. Your game/pc must be in good working order before joining the server. Remember if your pc crashes or you internet connection dies you will be left blocking the road on the server for at least 2 minutes, this can cause chaos in a race.

5. If you fail to show up for a race and don't explain why, you are excluded from the next race. If you leave for a silly reason like spinning in the first couple of turns, you are excluded from the next race. Basically don't waste your slot. Carry on if you crash and can make it back to the pits.

6. You must be courteous in the forums and on the server. Having an argument via game chat or in the forums is not acceptable and will result in a race and/or forum ban. If you have a problem with a drivers behaviour either in the forums or in the server make a complaint via PM to me. Equally trying to start up old arguments will result in the same ban for both parties.

one question

why was eurospeedway replaced by brno? (eurospeedway was on provisional calendar and is one of my fave tracks...)

fane · 21 August 07, 14:44

Because,if u notice,the sun is always in the same position no mater the time we do the race and disturbs us from driving,especially in the braking points.It would be very hard racing 1 hour in that conditions

Its to similar to Daytona RC, to have both on the calendar, and Daytona is more fun. Also what fane said.

Also there is one turn where on the entry there is just some green tarmac and almost nothing that could be used as a reliable braking marker, this leads into one of the narrowest tightest turns on the track. I think this would be a recipe for crashes and retirements. Also even in practice 1 the sun becomes and issue. Also the pit lane entry can be cheated badly.

cecil-swain · 21 August 07, 15:13

okay dokay

Kristofer · 21 August 07, 18:01

Another question..

is there no warmup session added between qual and race? Would be ashame, especially before the 120min race at SPA :confused:

I don't want to add more minutes of non-race time to the events. If there is to be a warmup the time will have to come out of the race or qualifying time. Starts will be decided on a race by race basis anyway, not a single rule for the whole season

At the risk of sounding stooooopid - where can I download Whales Coast? :confused:

Go to your GTR2 file open it up and put it in the ReplayData folder, and then you will be able to see them in the replay section in game.

~~Gaiajohan~~ · 31 August 07, 22:13

Whales coast is quite a nice track I must admit.

ICKE · 1 September 07, 10:42

I have a question.

Is there a timeline when the reserves can join the server if it is not full but they have not been listed as racers in the sign up-topic?

Usually there are always a couple of open places. Can I just come in at some point during the practice/qualifying session?

i believe i heard somewhere that if there are spare places at about 15 mins before race start, reserves can join in. but i'm not sure. see what karlos says

McDanger · 9 September 07, 15:44

Ok i got Whales Coast .rar here from Tantra's site,now what do i do with all these loose files in there?:confused:,dont let it be another case of creating a folder called "Whales Coast" in locations and extracting them to there.........

I made a folder called 'Whales'.
And it works

McDanger · 9 September 07, 15:50

I'll try that now,Thanks Johan

Berger R - 74 · 16 September 07, 10:27

i see for mugello 1x tyre 1x fuel ?????
is this correct????:confused:
if it is correct this race will be a 0 (none) stop race?

if you would not do a 0 stop race it should be 2x/2x or better 3x/3x for good strategie.

if i get an answear i will be happy

thanks
