Season 8: Lotus Evora GTC/GX Signup Thread
« on: August 04, 2015, 10:34:22 PM »
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]
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
  • 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.

Little too late for this Kiwi.
Race 1 doesn't get going until 10.50pm for me.
Maybe next season.

Best of luck & Enjoy

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).
