Car Selection

The field is divided in two displacement classes (over and under 2,500cc) featuring 10 different models of cars for a total of 44 available entries.

TA-1 (+2,500cc) : Chevrolet Camaro ’70 (5 cars), Chevrolet Camaro '68 (2 cars), Ford Mustang ’69 (6 cars), Pontiac Firebird ’70 (4 cars), AMC Javelin (3 cars), Plymouth Barracuda ’70 (2 cars), Dodge Challenger '70 (2 cars)
TA-2 (2,500cc) : ALFA-Romeo 2000 GTAm (9 cars), BMW 2002 Tii (7 cars), Ford Escort RS 1600 (4 cars)

At each event, the two classes will run concurrently on track for one overall classification but each class will have its own points championship.

Car selection is free. However, admins can refuse a car to a given driver if he is judged too fast for it or if his simracing level is unknown.

Each driver must keep the same car for the duration of the championship. Changing of car will be tolerated under exceptional circumstances only.

A driver missing two races in a row without any explanation on the forum, will have his car freed and made available for someone else to book.

Championship Rules

The championship will be run over 11 meetings. Each meeting will feature a single race of 300 to 350 kilometres depending on events. Races will all be in the 2-hour bracket.

Points System

Canam-style points will be given to the first ten of each class : 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1. As for all American races, all starters will be classified and are eligible for championship points.

There will be one drivers’ championship in each of the two classes. Only the best nine (9) results for each driver will be retained.

There will be one manufacturers’ championship in each of the two classes. In both classes, only the result of the best classified car of each make will be retained for championship points at each race. Only the best nine (9) results for each make will be retained. Both manufacturers' championships will use the following points scale : 9-6-4-3-2-1

Event Schedule

All meetings will be held on Sunday nights (all times given as CET)

20:00 – Qualifying

Training Server

A training server running on the next scheduled track will be online permanently. Password : hso71

Behaviour on track

A few behaviour rules :

- as for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.

- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

Application and Interpretation of the Regulations

The admins alone are qualified to solve any problems raised by the application and the interpretation of the present regulations.

Due to some maintenance we have to do on the server, the training server for this series will not be up before a few days. It will definitely be up before week's end though .

No US style yellow flag rules finally?

Yellow flag cautions on road courses is a rather recent thing, from the mid/late 1980s mostly (to make room for TV advertising more than anything else ) so no, no yellows in this series

y a une quelconque compatibilité avec le mod hgtc utilisé l annee derniere ou faut se taper une nouvelle installation ?

Ah non il faut installer la 1.96, qui hélas n'est même pas une simple upgrade mais bel et bien un nouveau mod complet, donc oui faut se taper une nouvelle installation

ok merci pour l info

It can indeed be confusing when you read it and is kinda hard to explain simply, but best thing is to try it offline and you'll see there is nothing complicated about it Just edit your this line in your .plr file to enable it :

QUICK Reconnaissance="0" --> set to "1" to activate reconnaissance laps

Think i now know what to do, thanks

I don't know if you are the only one who doesn't understand it, but it you hate it then you are not the only one because I also do The only logical explanation I have for this being part of our races is that without it this league would be so freakin cool and great that it would be too close to perfection and we would not be able to lead normal lives outside it

Si je me souviens bien, cela comprend une interface différente, les voitures sont classées selon des catégories propres à ODS, certaines usures pneumatiques et consomation d'essence sont retouchées et il y a des skins maison en plus. Pas de changement niveau physics si je me souviens bien, ni de nouvelles voitures. Le tout fonctionne avec un système de synchronisation bien fait qui update régulièrement le mod en fonction des ajouts des admins en cours d'année. Mais Ben ou Greg doivent pouvoir préciser tout ça, je n'avais que brièvement testé ça il y a des années.
