Race Start Procedure

--> Reconnaissance Laps <--

Behaviour on track

- 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.

Practice server is up.

Pit speed set at 200kph. Hopefully no DNFs this time.

I may award a Duke's of Hazzard jump award for anyone who goes airborne at the hill before the hairpin. It will likely be a fatal mistake but them Duke boys ken do it!

Beware the tires in the Ss. You know, the ones you know you are going to hit and get to think about it on the way in.

Tires? Looks rather like something big chewed and spitted your car :rigol:

Its some of those tires that are half buried. They look like half circles. I almost missed them. Almost does not count for much as those tires are clearly made of Adamantium :aie:

Yeah I suspected what they were. I hit one while practicing the other day but went airborne instead of denting the car. Considering the jump at the top of the hill, it shows very well Riverside's roots as airfield lol

I think the next works will be for the tracks, to pull out these adamantium stack of wheels and remplace them by speed reducers or rebound kerbs, somethings like that.
I don't know but I don't think that there were these killers stacks on the tracks in irl. :frank:

They were not there IRL. The wall of death was though. Nascar used to cut the hell out of the corners. Almost made it a straight.

Just a note Mike, Your next race will be your 100th start! :champ:
