This is really a wonderful skin. Congrats! Great skills there!

Great one Sun!. I'm still working on mine, but I just don't have the skeels and imagination for skinning. Need to fill out some sponsors and some tweaking, but I'm getting there

Thanks guys! @Fred Locklear that's nice! The Kanagawa wave is actually one of my favourite artwork, nice touch there.

Track Map & Red Zone:
The red zone for Round 1 applies from the start finish line to the exit of Turn 5 during the first lap of the race. Incidents that occur in this zone will be automatically looked at and scrutinized more heavily, and may be punished more severely. The objective of the red zone is to promote a clean start to the race so that everyone can get through the first lap unscathed. Erratic changes of direction, contact and crashes will be penalized more harshly if found guilty.

Track Limits
Article 6.1 of the 2016 RaceDepartment League Regulations states that all drivers must maintain at least two wheels within the white lines of the track at all times when under normal control of their car. Whilst article 6.1 applies to the entire race track, the stewards will pay particularly strong attention to the following areas of the track. The cutting penalties outlined in the Stewards Notice Board thread will be applied to drivers who take liberties with these areas too often.

Turn 9:
Time gains can be made by extending the exit of the corner and running onto the astro-turf. Drivers who run wide beyond the darkened asphalt and do not lift off, will not be penalised as significant time will be lost with reduced speed and a significantly longer route.

Turn 15:
Time gains can be made by extending the exit of the corner and running onto the astro-turf.

Pit-lane Exit:
Drivers must not exceed the white line on the exit of the pit lane which guides you safely back to the racing line, at any point during Qualifying or the Race. Doing so could lead to a dangerous encounter with opponents, and may spoil their hotlap or race. If caught doing so, you will be given an automatic 10 second time penalty added to your race time. Drivers are allowed to cross it during the practice session, provided it does not impede anyone or cause an incident. If it does impede or cause an incident, then the affected driver is free to submit an incident report.

TeamSpeak
You are required to be present on TeamSpeak during all rounds of the league. Upon joining the RaceDepartment TeamSpeak server, you must set up your teams' Sub-Channel within the Assetto Corsa channel, using your team name. Once in your channel, the League director will send you a text message containing the password for the server.

If anyone is looking for a teammate, drop me a PM. Don't really bring that much to the table, but would be better than just racing alone

Me neither. But I'm in the main group of drivers now so if anyone wants a grease Monkey that's managed to get a shot at the big time and perhaps score a few cheeky points if anyone in front has any issues then I'm your man!!!

 

[Alex Townsend]

Just have a quick question after the PM went out saying that due to popular demand we will see 30 on the grid.
There was also a mention of PCs perhaps taking performance hits.
I'm worried that my pc is getting on a bit and I may end up in an unplayable situation come race day...
Is it as straight forward as putting 30 cars on screen with an FPS counter running or putting the benchmark test on to check or does it work differently for online?

Well doing a singleplayer race with 30 cars should put much more of a strain on your computer because it has to caculate the physics for all 30 cars. But if you can run 30 ai you should be able to run 30 cars in mp.

@Alex Townsend
What Michael said. Multiplayer is far less demanding on your computer than single player. You should be okay

 

[Alex Townsend]

Ok cool. I'll give it a go. Usually I run around 23 so I'll notch it up and see where I'm at and adjust if needed.
Thanks guys

0 restrictions for the car? No mandatory 'plates'?

You're free to paint your car as you like, provided of course there are no explicit images or things beyond reasonable taste.

 

[Ricoow]

Anybody wanting to skin me a livery? Do have some ideas for it Sponsors etc.

 

[Ricoow]

Got some serious issues with the car. It will load the showroom, no problem. Does not load the 'race'-mode for some extremely weird reason. Tried Game Cache Verification (which actually detected over 100 missing files, how the f*bleep*) and reinstalling the mod, but neither worked...
Anybody got something to try?

PS. It has worked before.
