Penalties

A championship gives us the opportunity to deduct points or add time as a penalty. Below are the penalties for this championship. Please report incidents to the host. That will help to maintain the high standards of driving we are accustomed to in these events. For multiple unsafe actions within a single reported incident, the time penalties and point deductions are cumulative.

Golden Rule: if you break the Golden Rule, all points will be deducted from that event. Normal procedure via formal report and internal discussion within RD staff if there's an disagreement.
Unsafe overtake/defending or dive bomb: 5/10/30 second penalties for each case.
Track Limits: 5/10/30 second penalties for gaining an advantage outside of tracks limits.
Ignoring blue flag: 2 points taken off for each case.
Dangerous Driving: 2+ points may be also deducted for any unsafe actions causing an incident (e.g. unsafe rejoin/unsafe pit exit/swerving on the straight etc.)
All reported incidents and penalties to be judged by host (Brian) and co-host (Han) via the usual PM system. Gentlemanly actions, or otherwise, after an incident may effect the final penalty awarded.

See here for a general guide on rules of racing and some examples of incidents that could result in a penalty.

See you on track!

You're in Ernie!

We'll probably get another of these multiclass events going 2 weeks from now.

Alfred Wayne · Feb 12, 2023

This looks like a lot of fun! Not sure car or class yet. Want to the give the LMP1s a try and see if I can handle them before I "settle" on a GTE

t6mek · Feb 12, 2023

Hey, I don't know if every race I'll be available, but please sign me in with 458

JamKart22 · Feb 12, 2023

911 please Brian

Shed 17 · Feb 12, 2023

Oh WOW, a proper endurance race series,

I'm definitely in but like Robert will decide what class/car after a bit of testing. Leaning towards LMP1 but want to race the Vette at some point as well.
Will all rounds count? It's just as I am away mid May so could miss one.

Ye 6/7 rounds will count. Have that in post 2 now

I think it's a good format for a sim/life balance

Planning a holiday for May also, so will confirm the date for that soon.

How does multi driver work? How do you swap who's driving?

Twoddle · Feb 12, 2023

I would like a BMW M3 please Brian

Driver 1 exits with the car in the pit box. When they are fully disconnected, driver 2 hops in.

It will need testing and modding some of the track files. There will likely be a loss of time for folks doing it as a team.

Happy to help if you need someone to test with

I assume the next driver can't see the race if they are not driving? Or is there a way they can watch?

Ye they should be able to watch. I can add spectators. Again untested water!

~~Question~~
If we were to run a non-hybrid P13C instead of the kunos hybrid cars how would people feel about it? It's $4.95+. On one hand it's one of the best and the most detailed car I've seen in the game. On the other hand the GTE drivers are buying a car they might never race.

Update: AVAILABLE NOW! Probably about time this one got its own thread. The P13c is a prototype race car built around the 2013 LMP1 regulations. It weighs 900kg, produces 600HP, and reaches speeds of up to 200 mph while cornering at nearly 4G. IER has been working on the P13 in varying...
