Pre-race Briefing

The briefing is an informative and simple way to get important notes across to participants for the forthcoming race weekend. It is extremely recommended that both drivers and Race Organisers/Officials affiliated with this event read and be aware of this page and the information it holds. This includes information on lobby hosting, qualifying procedures, and a hints and tips section. This page is important so please read it [twice!]



Lobby Settings in Qualifying:

Lobby settings are the configuration(s) for an online race. These include car restrictions and rules that are set for this event. The settings must be 100% spot-on for the race to work. This is important as Officials/Organisers must follow the rules when hosting and making the right settings. Lobby hosts should kick any people who appear in the lobby that aren’t official participants without question. The full list of lobby settings for qualifying sessions for this event:

Rules:
Game type: Custom.
Environment: Le Mans Circuit.
Track: Old Le Mans.
Damage: Limited.
Collision mode: Always off.
End of race timer: None.

Advanced rules:
Scoring type: Time-based.

End condition: Number of laps.
Laps: 2.
Grid ordering: Random.

Overrides:
Force off autobrake: Yes.

Car Restrictions:
Allow upgrades: Yes.
Car class: S.

Grid Ordering:

As qualifying occurs straight before the race, lobby allocations can’t be foreseen.



Important Notes:

- A slow warm-up lap during qualifying is required, followed by three flying laps. The warm-up lap is there so people don’t get penalties when lap-times are viewed in-game. If on the first lap you get a penalty, you will have to use your next lap as your warm-up lap again.

- With less stricter rules from the Dodge Ram Cup due to the vehicle itself, rules regarding race investigations/incidents will come back into full effect in this event.

- During the course of the qualifying/race intervals, a lot of lobby switching/lobby invites will be sent out many times. It is required that participants have some patience during the allocation of lobbies and collecting lap-times.



Tips and Advice:

- Reset your internet if needed to. If you’re having lagging problems on the race night or connection trouble, all it takes is a quick switch off, switch on of the plug your internet is in. This should reset the NAT to open and connection should be okay. Any needless internet applications on the computer which may hinder connection should be closed, for everyone’s sake.

- Keep hydrated. You can keep a bottle of water/can of soda within close reach to keep hydrated during longer races. It is proven that water helps more than anything else.

- Practice the courses beforehand. This is where some people fall short on as seen in previous events, as Organisers/Officials/lobby hosts won’t be offering any practice in the qualifying/race.
