Car Number 27 is taken, please look at the PDF in the OP for taken numbers.
Entries are open following Round 1!
NDR.DeathRally is updated with U13 DCON, will be a good test for it.
Scawen, I am curious if it would be simple to allow more connections to a server. 38 driver slots is just fine, but only having 47 total slots is a hindrance, especially for endurance racing.
Even a bump to a total of 57 connections (+10 from current), would be a large help. Ideally, perhaps eventually having 38/80 at some point would be most ideal, allowing essentially everyone to have a second driver.
I understand if it's not just a simple integer switch, but it would really help the endurance side of racing, and even those full grid weekly events would benefit from it, especially if trying to qualify > 38 cars

Event Specifics
1. Alerting the Administration:

2. Communications:
All drivers are required to be in the NDR TeamSpeak server: teamspeak.newdimensionracing.com - Race Control messages will be broadcast to anyone in a channel in the Pit Wall in TS. If you would like a subchannel for your team or friendly drivers, please let us know and we will create one.
Make sure you have your race number and/or your LFS username as your nickname on TeamSpeak
3. Broadcast
This race will be broadcasted by Sim Broadcasts: https://twitch.tv/simbroadcasts
They will be in the NDR TeamSpeak. You are invited to be interviewed on stream during the breaks between sessions. Please follow their terms listed at https://simbroadcasts.tv/voice - we will apply those to our Commentary Box area.
4. Driver Naming:
Be sure to be in your proper name format Number (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name may be in colour, but we prefer all white - consistency looks better, and is easier to read.
5. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.
6. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions, except Pre-Qualifying.
7. Virtual Safety Car Test
There will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting about 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
8. Pit Entry and Pit Exit

On pit exit, all parts of the car and wheels must be on the apron of Turn 1 from the pit exit to the second safety car line, marked by three green cones each side of the apron and course.
The yellow lines extending from the apron to the track are guide lines only, and may be crossed.

For the grid departure ONLY, all cars will enter the track just past the end of the pit wall, and not use the apron for the start of the formation lap.
The SC will slow to 70 kph after Turn 12, and stay at the head of the field. From this point, the field should begin forming into dual-file formation. Polesitter will be asked their chosen side during the gridding process. The Safety Car will pull into the pitlane from the exit of Turn 13. Drivers should hold pace until the green flag is given - overtaking is permitted on race start from the green flag.
In the event of an aborted start, there will be no message except a voice wave-off call in TeamSpeak. Drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. Two wave-offs are permitted before the race start will be a standard safety car restart. Race laps will start counting after the first start attempt, regardless of start or no start.
11. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 10. It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on all restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
12. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed to pit lane. The top 3 shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.
Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.
13. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.
You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.
If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!

Drivers may take as many laps as they want. Drafting is permitted, bump-drafting is not. Drivers should not impede other drivers at any time.

GT2 Challenge 2021: Round 1 - Race Discussion
Hello racers!
Welcome to the 2021 GT2 Challenge! What a season we had last year with GT2 Challenge, the strategies were vast. We hope for more of the same this season, and given a couple extra rounds to play with!
We start the season at Kyoto National. Using 90% of the Kyoto Oval, plus the infield road course, slipstream battles will no doubt be in order.
Round 1 is on 10th January 2021. Pre-Qualifying Starts at 18:00 on 7 January!

Revision 2 of the GT2 Challenge Rulebook posted.
Changes:
Confirmations procedure changed. All entries are assumed yes. A Confirmations thread will still be posted, but you only have to confirm if you are NOT attending. From Round 2 on, all drivers in the Top 10 must still confirm a "Yes" in this thread to facilitate Pre-Qualifying planning.
A driver failing to declare his no-show up to 36 hours after event start will be removed from the series entry list, and must re-enter the series to participate further.
Pre-Qualifying is required for any driver not locked-in. Failure to set a time in pre-qualifying will result in no race weekend for that driver.
Points system adjusted to award points to 38th place.
TeamSpeak is now required for Free Practice, Qualifying, and the Race.

GT2 Challenge 2021: Announcement
GT2 Challenge 2021 - Announcement
Hello racers!
We are pleased to bring you the return of the GT2 Challenge!
The series will continue to use GT2-restricted GTR cars, this time with a full six-round season. We are keeping the 230km race distance formula, which provided some great racing last season.
The schedule:
10th January: Kyoto National (KY2)
24th January: Rockingham International - bypassing the oval chicane (RO7X)
7th February: South City Long (SO4)
21st February: Blackwood Grand Prix (BL1)
7th March: Fern Bay Classic (FE2X_F25)
21st March: Aston Grand Touring (AS6)
4th April: 6 Hours of Westhill International (WE2) - Non-Championship Event
Pit stops will continue to be optional in the race - can you make your tyres and fuel last, or do you take it cautious and pit?
On 4th April 2021, we will run a six-hour Endurance race, external to the championship. Separate entries, full details towards the end of the regular season.
Restrictions remain as 21% for the FZR, 24% for the FXR, and 25% for the XRR.
