The grid for race one will be set by qualifying, the grid for race 2 will be set by the results of Race 1. Both races will start with a manual single file rolling start with pole position acting as a pace car. Pace lap speed will be limited to 120km/h. Once the leader reaches pit entrance the leader will be in control, once the leader accelerates the race will be considered under green flag conditions. Passing may occur once the race is green (when the leader accelerates).

If someone disconnects at race start or anytime during the formation lap a restart will occur, any disconnections after the race has officially started there will be no restarts.

In the event of an accident involving 2 or more cars, in the second race only, a safety car can be called. Once a safety car has been called drivers are required to manually flash their lights until their reach the safety car queue so other drivers are aware. Once a safety car is called the race will be under full course yellow flag conditions. Drivers may choose to pit under safety car conditions. The race will be restarted at the start finish line once all cars are in the safety car queue.

Nah you should be fine without quali man!

Can't wait for tonight.

I am in for tonight

I'm out for tonight sorry

A few things from last night.

There's no need to be so close on the formation lap, give a little space to avoid lag smashing someone or carelessly running into the back of someone, especially in place on track like chicanes etc. this should be a no brainer.

Also in the event that you can't connect to the lobby contact the lobby host or series organiser. Having to restart the lobby once we got into race because a member couldn't connect and tried to pass it on through another member was extremely annoying, especially considering that there was a 10 minute warmup before hand and there were numerous technical issues

Also if you go off because of an accident and as a result are slower don't rejoin the track and hang about in the middle, especially when there are those at race pace coming through.
