AC RaceDepartment European GT Championship 2021

[HF2000]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

In addition to our single GT3/GT4 events on Sunday, we will also race these cars in a championship on European circuits, along with some new challenges. There will be 5 events in this first championship. A race every two weeks on Sunday interspersed with the usual single events on the Sunday in between. This championship is also a test case for possible future championships.

There are some changes from our regular GT3/GT4 events to make it a bit more interesting:

Variable Track conditions

• Variable grip: At the start of qualifying and the race will not be optimal. It will gradually increase to 100% after about 20 minutes. The starting grip will be announced in the event thread and on S.GP.
• Realistic weather conditions: The sky will be clear but wind and air temperature will be at average level for the location at the date/time the race is being held.
• Track temperature is based on the air temperature in clear weather.

Penalties
A championship gives us the opportunity to deduct points from a competitor as a penalty. Here are the penalties for this championship. Please report these kind of incidents to the host. That will help to get even cleaner events.

• Golden Rule: if you brake the Golden Rule, all points will be deducted from that event. Normal procedure via formal report and discussion within RD staff if there's an argument.
• Unsafe overtake/dive bomb: 2 points taken off for each case. To be judged by host (Brian) and co-host (Han).
• Ignoring blue flag: 2 points taken off for each case. To be judged by host (Brian) and co-host (Han).

Scheme (block these dates in your agenda!):

• October 31st, 2021: Imola
• November 14th, 2021: Monza
• November 28th, 2021: Spa
• December 12th, 2021: Silverstone

Details such as scoring rules and track conditions can be found on the Championship S.GP page.

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.

I'd like to participate but I will have to miss the first race as I'll be out of town. Could I still participate in the other races or do I need to be present for each one as it is a championship?

If missing the first race is okay I'll take the Z4 (Vita 4one Livery) number 17. Thanks!
