SCHEDULE & RULES (READ ONLY)
UPDATE:
There has been in a major change in the schedule. This is because of the plans we have with tournaments in upcoming games like GTR2 and WTCC. Therefore the RD2 tournament in cut back from 25 to 11 races, which allows us to be finished halfway february instead of september.
We have removed 4 of the championships:
-Truman Stockcars
-GT Lights Ice Races
-XKR Pan American
-UK Rallycross
We removed/changed some races in the remaining championships:
-V8 Supercars, out: Oran Park
-HotRods, out: A1 Short, Brands Hatch Indy, in: Road America
-DTM, out: Eurospeedway
-American 1000, out: Road America, Pikes Peak, in: Laguna Seca
-Supertrucks, out: Laguna Seca, Donington Park Long, in: Bathurst
The schedule is, as a result of the changes, transformed into this:
This cutback in the RD2 Tournament does not mean the end of our activities in that game. We will still organise Singe Day Events in the game when the other tournaments have started.
If you have any questions or comments, please post them here, or send me a PM
In the following I will provide you the information you need to participate in the championship. I will discus the organisation, rules and schedule of the championship. I apologize for the strictness and harshness in the text and ask you to understand that it is required to organise this properly.

Introduction
This championship will be driven in the game Race Driver 2 on 24 of its tracks in 25 races. The races are part of a
sub-championship (9 in total). Each sub-championship is driven in a certain series (like V8, DTM) and features 2 to 4 races. Each event consists of
sprintrace and a
main race. In each sprint race players qualify for the main race. In each main race players can gather points for the sub-championship to improve their ranking in it. When a sub-championship ends players gather points for the
overall championship due to their rank in the sub-championship standings.
Invitations, requests and duties
You are, whether fast or slow on the track, free to participate in the championship. If you wish to participate you will have to sign up in the designated tournament thread. If you sign up we automatically asume that you have read the rules and know the schedule. You will have to sign up for every single race individually or you will not be accounted for in the heatdivision. The heatdivision displays in which sprint race group you will start in the tournament. It will be posted in the week before the race, but may change over time, because of additional signups and signouts. Members of other teams are also welcome in the tournament, for them th procedure is the same, as are the rules.
Rules (it’s the nasty part, but read it carefully!)
The rules apply only to those who participate in this championship, or individual races in it.
Showing up: You are expected to participate in the championship races. You are hereby kindly, but forcibly requested to be in the targeted in-game room at the time that is outlined in the schedule. Rooms will open at least 10 minutes before the race starts. If, in any case, you are (possibly) delayed or kept from showing up, then please let us know at least 48 hours before the races starts. We then can keep that in mind and start later, or replace you with someone else. If you don’t show up without giving us notice you will receive 0 points for that race. NOTE: We will start at the targeted time, if we haven’t agreed on a slight delay of the start.
Behaviour in Race and Rooms: During races both collision and damage are turned on, that will require additional skill and discipline. Of course I don’t expect any trouble, since you are a nice lot, but just for the record:
# No off-track shortcuts (cutting), you are expected to follow the lines of the track, which may include a few wheels on the grass, but no obvious cutting. Accidents are of course an exception. If you plan to cut… make it look like an accident. Harsh measures will be taken against cutters!
# No ramming, you are expected to behave like a gentleman/lady on the track. Contact is allowed: door to door and bumper to bumper racing is ok, but intentional crashes, rams and push-offs aren’t. Again harsh measures against violation!
Pit Stops: Pit stops are mandatory in main races only. You must pit after the 1st lap and before the last lap. You may
not finish in the pitlane or you will risk disqualification!
You risk disqualification or, in extreme circumstances, complete exclusion from the championship if you do not keep to the rules.
Short Schedule
A more detailed schedule with dates and time will be posted separately, here’s a quick outline of the sub-championships.
# V8 Supercars: Philip Island, Brands Hatch GP and Oulton Park Long.
# Hot Rods: Road America and Loch Rannoch 1.
# DTM: Barbagallo, Eastern Creek and Zandvoort.
# American 1000: Texas and Laguna Seca.
# Supertrucks: Bathurst.
If you want to test, you will need some tracks from TrackPatch1.5. I highly recommend testing, because most of you are unfamiliar with the series or tracks or both.

Championship standings and race results will be posted and updated on the forum.
Further notes on sprint and main races
In each championship event there will be 4 sprintraces (qualifying heats), unless it's reported differently. Every driver qualifies for the main race by participating in the sprintrace. The higher you finish in qualifying, the higher group you get in for the
main race, the more points you can score! The number of
main-race groups depends on the number of people that show up. It's a complicated system that I won't explain here, because we may alter it over time and adjust it for every event. [/size]
