A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that it's clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out-lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
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. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.

Golden Rule

1. Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

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

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

First!! sign me in, plz, a question about to use pitlane penalty app for the cut tracks... i think if we obligate to use that app during the races it will be easier to comply the track limits rule.

Welcome aboard!
And as I recently posted in another thread, PLP's most bothersome limitation in my view is that it's a piece of plain-text code, which runs client-side, so if someone wants to cheat it's trivial to tweak the code. You are welcome to run it if you want to help yourself comply but we won't be making it compulsory.
However, having driven a few laps around Hope RaceTrack, I'm pretty confident that there really aren't any significant opportunities to break the RD track limits and gain time

Sign me up! Oh and another question. May I live stream it on Twitch and Youtube?

You're in!
Streaming: I believe it's OK to stream the race itself, but if you want to include the TeamSpeak feed then you'll need to ask in TS and ensure that nobody has a problem with it.

 

[Pauli Ahonen]

I'm in.

 

[Neilski]

I'm in.

Done! And nice picture!

 

[Óscar Melero]

In please! Thank you!

 

[Neilski]

In please! Thank you!

Welcome!

 

[Pauli Ahonen]

That happened '16 or '17 in France...
The driver who came out on top was scared of heights and refused to exit the car

 

[Trevor Carter]

Can i join in?

Can i join in?

You would need to get premium membership. I would say it's totally worth it just for the club races.

Hope - so does that mean you are allowed to use Mod Tracks???

Bring on Donington

Wow! He's still there, I take it?
Actually, given the shape of the nose on 911s, it's surprising this doesn't happen more often!

Welcome aboard Trevor! Don't forget to read the info and follow the links in the first post if you have never raced with us before. (This includes how to set up TeamSpeak, and where to find the server passwords etc.) If in doubt, just ask for help

Hope - so does that mean you are allowed to use Mod Tracks???

Bring on Donington

I'm quite fond of Donington myself actually (but have not tried the new version yet) and yes indeed, I've been advised that we can use mod tracks for any event that isn't tagged with the "Social" tag.

Happy Days

 

[Pauli Ahonen]

@Shaun Clarke Yeah we've ran turbo open wheelers in donington in the past. Exciting and well modeled track.

 

[SR Chok]

I'm in

 

[Shaun Clarke]

I might not be able to make it (have been practising) but on a more positive note, this is because my new Seat Leon TCR might get released tonight.

@Neilski Can you put me down as a "maybe" with my livery again please, and fingers crossed, I will be there.

Cheers

Shaun
