Silverstone

Silverstone declares itself the home of British racing and with a history stretching back to 1948, there is some justification to the claim. Always one of the fastest circuits, Silverstone has developed from its windswept airfield origins into one of the most recognised in world motorsport.

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

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.
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

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.

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 these kind of incidents to the host. That will help to get even cleaner 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.

Ooh good combo

Doing my best to make sure I'm all moved out by this weekend, but it's my last week here so there's a chance something could come up. Is it ok if I stay registered and if I can't make it, just take the DNF?

Ye no worries Robert. Best of luck with the move!

The Ginetta is great here. Feels very much like the Maserati did, I just hope my internet connection survives this round of Silverstone. I can recommend very little wing and stiffer rear ARB at least for my driving style this works well in this car.

Can you not pick your own livery???

You can. In the championship section rather than the event on s.gp

Thanks Tim. Looking forward to seeing how it handles the Maggotts and Becketts!

Thanks for the replay. I think it's my best screenshot yet! Graphic design still needs work

I always look for hotlap vids on youtube with the track car combination in question. I couldn't find one for this so here is my attempt at doing one myself. I have stalked enough of the drivers here over the last year to watch their laps I thought I would share one of mine instead. Its my current PB but the laptime isn't visible as per the rules (I will divulge it starts with a 2.

at least).

I make a bit of a hash trying to apex The Loop, Luffield could be tidier braking, probably should go into 6th entering maggots and more speed would be better out of Stowe (maybe should drop into 3rd here).

Hopefully somebody will find it useful.

It's a nice looking grid Brian, not raced with this many in the same car. It should be interesting.

Hats off to the only RHD driver too

Absolutely will be interesting. A top ten finish will be very respectable!

Yep, fair play to tudor. I get too many reality vs virtual road position conflicts to sim race in a RHD car!

I tried it at Brands hatch but by accident in simgp registration (after practising in LHD). Not doing that again.

Ha ye same here but without the practice

A bit easier to get the wide entries on an anti clockwise circuit or a left hander.

Why do Ginetta bother putting a wing on ?
It just seems to be a drag inducing extra

Haha, honestly never occurred to me in all the years I've been simracing. At least I now have an excuse for being off the pace
