Start Procedure

Race will feature a rolling start.
Once everybody is on the grid and green lights have been shown, drivers will start a formation lap at low speed. Do not overtake, stay packed, no more than 2 or 3 car lengths between each car.
After the last turn, cars will keep rolling at reduced speed in the starting grid formation, so remember your side of the grid.
When the leading car will be in sight of the start/finish line, an admin will give the real start of the race by typing "GREEN FLAG" in chat.

Overtake before crossing the start/finish line is not allowed.
Zigzaging to warm up your tires is not allowed.

Before the green flag, drivers should maintain a staggered formation, and not stay along side each others.






Behaviour on track

- For this race, a pit speed limit of 100 km/h will be observed.  

- 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.

Feel free to use this thread to work creating teams

Well, it looks like Dave, my usual compatriot in these endurances, are going to be marshalling the Welsh Rally GB on that very weekend so I'll be looking for someone to team up with, prefferably in either the Nimrod (preffered) or Grid

Do I have to be on the server when the flag drops, or may I join later? Gotta have to work till 19.00 that day.

Another driver on your team can start the race, and you can drive a later stint.

Can I Marti Lacina and Petr Hlavac go with 956? (number 3 for example?

I've never driven one of these races before but it looks fun.

I will run this by the other admins...

Can the drivers who share a car participate in the qualifying sessions at the same time?

Good question.  A car can only be driven in qualifying by one team member at a time.   So you could swap during the session, similar to the way it is done in the race.

Admin determination:
You three can drive a privateer 956 (non-Rothmans), and ONLY if you are driving too, meaning, Hlavac and Lacina cannot drive alone in a 956.

In that case I'm offering my services to one or two guys willing to do the first 2 1/2 hours of racing

Hmmm, I might be interested in this race

Im interested too. Any fast guys to share a slow car with me? PM

Should be interessed in that one as I loved Endurance racing.

The car doesn't matter as I'm far too slow to pretend for anything than seeing the checkered.

So I'm available for partnership if anybody is looking for a slow teamate

My friend Philou and I will be surely there to visit South Africa.

i'm interested. would like to drive a rondeau, but don't mind too much as long as its not a porsche or lancia. so if anyone wants to team up let me know

I've been testing the Sauber C7 and the Lancia LC1 a bit, if anyone else is interested in those you can message me! Only criteria: don't crash.

EDIT: been talking with Jan.

I'd like to drive one of the 956s or an LC1, so maybe I would like to ask who would like to team up

J'ai tout réinstallé, rfactor, le mod, les patchs et online (offline, c'est ok), j'ai ce message :


Je ne sais plus quoi faire....

Why can't we go solo if we want? I've done far worst stints than that in the past.

Count me in if on race day there will be a free slot and I can try to go solo.

It's an endurance race and it'll be 244 laps, and the rules say that a single driver must not drive more than 150 laps. Also, for the sake of realism I suppose, it's needed to form teams.

Solo driving is not allowed.
