4. Driver Naming:

The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.
5. Practice Starts

7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, at least 2 wheels must be to the RIGHT of the blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the RIGHT of the blend line.
8. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advanced to the semi finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.
An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.
10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 8 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
11. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC*
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas
First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.
13. Attack Boost:
During each race, each driver must use the designated boost strip area three (3) times. If the race is declared wet at any point there will be no MINIMUM uses. There is still a MAXIMUM of three uses per driver.
Drivers may NOT use attack boost in the first two laps of the race. Attack boost cannot be used under SC or VSC conditions. Attack boost can be used during free practice, but is disabled during Qualifying.
14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme located on drivers RIGHT just before turn 3. The top 3 shall report to the podium via parc ferme.
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.
15. 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 during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.
Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.
Each group winner will advanced to the semi finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.
An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.
10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 8 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.
Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
11. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC*
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas
First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.
2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.
13. Attack Boost:
During each race, each driver must use the designated boost strip area three (3) times. If the race is declared wet at any point there will be no MINIMUM uses. There is still a MAXIMUM of three uses per driver.
Drivers may NOT use attack boost in the first two laps of the race. Attack boost cannot be used under SC or VSC conditions. Attack boost can be used during free practice, but is disabled during Qualifying.
14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme located on drivers RIGHT just before turn 3. The top 3 shall report to the podium via parc ferme.
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.
15. 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 during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.
Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!

Round 3 results and points posted!
The incidents at Turns 10 and 11 are deemed inconsequential.
The incident at Turn 12 is considered NFA. Car 87 changes lines right around the braking point, Car 51 is not assuring clear distance.
The incident at Turn 13 is in two parts. First part, the initial contact. Car 51 is 15 kph slower than usual through that corner, but the driver's inputs are no different through that section. The slowness through that corner was due to the slower exit from Turn 12.
Second part, Car 87 has an unsafe rejoin from the spin. This action is penalized.
Car 87 also took two additional Attack Boost Activations (Laps 3, 6, 8, 11, 13), which would normally be worth a 10 second time penalty for each overuse (or under use).
Car 87 also had unsporting comments in the chat post-race directed at another driver.
For the combination of these three incidents, the Stewards have elected the following
Car 87 - Disqualified from Round 3 Race 2 - Unsafe rejoin from an accident, overuse of speed boost (x2), unsportsmanlike behaviour in chat
