Nürburgring

Above all other circuits, the Nürburgring has a history and tradition which is intertwined with that of the motorsport itself. The 'Green Hell', as Jackie Stewart so memorably described it, has been thrilling and terrifying drivers in equal measure since 1927 and any event here remains one of...

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the throttle pinned and pull back on track.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Video guide too multiclass racing - Click here
• It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (a car in a slower class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. It is the responsibility of the faster car to make a safe overtake.
• If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class, the normal gentleman's rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake, usually a slight lift at the start of a straight. Please be sensible.
• No Separate qualification runs will happen for GT3 and GT4 classes. However we will allow up to 30 seconds at the start for all the GT3 cars to leave the pits ahead of the GT4 cars.
• All other Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
• Discord is highly recommended for all club races, multiclass events in particular.

---------



ROLLING START RULES

• No overtaking the car ahead until bridge after Aremberg
• No overlap with the car ahead crossing the Start line.
• Please familiarise yourself with the start line! If in doubt, just ask.

• The car on pole dictates the pace. Pace should start very slowly especially through turn 1,2 and 3 then slowly pick up, but it is up to P1 when he wants to 'go'
• Full race pace should not be until after Flugplatz.

• Participants to report infringements after the race

Penalties for overtaking before or on the start finish line in a championship below.

There must be some daylight between your car and the car ahead when you cross the start line. i.e. No overlap

Small over lap - 5 sec penalty
Front wheel ahead of rear wheel - 10 second penalty.
Front wheel ahead of front wheel - 20 second penalty.
Rear wheel ahead of front wheel - 30 second penalty.

Penalties are cumulative for each car illegally overtaken

If a car goes off track with all 4 wheels off the road he can be legally over taken. That car must rejoin safely and carry on from his new position. No overtaking rule kicks back in and applies again!

'Bolters' on lap 1 will be kicked/banned from championship.

I have to unfortunately sign out of this race. I’ll be away this afternoon (15:40 race start for me in US)

Have a great race everyone and I’ll see you at at the next GT event.

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

[RasmusP]

Absolutely super gutted but I can't race tonight.
We're still moving apartments and an hour ago I hurt my left leg.
Hit an edge right above the knee and pressing the brake does hurt too much to do a race tonight.

Nothing bad and shouldn't take longer than a few days but arghs.. I really wanted to take part in this league, especially at the Nordschleife

I hope you all have a mega race! Please save a replay for me!

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Have a nice day Logan!

I hope you get better soon Rasmus, sounds painful!

Both of you will be dearly missed this race.
