7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
Temporarily crossing with two wheels on exit is allowed, however all parts of the car needs to be to the LEFT of the blend line at the intersection of the 2nd safety car line.
8. Running wide turn 1-2
If a driver runs wide at turn 1/2 they MUST rejoin the circuit via the run off at turn 3 and must be to the RIGHT of all BLUE/PURPLE cones.
9. 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 quarter finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
3 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 = 1 lap added.
No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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 of turn 3 runoff. 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.
16. 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!

Discord username in LFS Profile
Hi There,
With the dramatic increase in usage of Discord in the LFS community, and with the LFS verification system on Discord, it would be great if the Discord username and id number can be displayed in a uses profile on lfs.net.
I think this will help league administration and allow people to contact users directly in Discord. Of course if the user wants their username to be visible on lfs.net.
Thanks.

Beautiful work! This got me very excited and think it would make a great spec series championship mod. Very well done!

I agree insim is the way to go for races, it is then up to the organiser to build it to their requirements. The current insim checkpoints can be used for this.
Qualifying a straight remove lap time would be perfect. Thinking back to a GT2C event we tried to use track limits and we ended up having to delay the race to work out results, not an easy process to manually review and adjust times. Hence we didn't use the same system since.
A 'new' insim checkpoint/circle for HLVC would be perfect for qualifying. It should still show the amount of actual laps completed but invalidated lap times so does not effect the results shown or grid etc.
In terms of the packets we can get back, it would be useful to have a flag on a lap time to tell us if it was valid or not, thinking for things like tracker etc. So we can show the time that was completed but strike through if invalid.
Qualifying a straight remove lap time would be perfect. Thinking back to a GT2C event we tried to use track limits and we ended up having to delay the race to work out results, not an easy process to manually review and adjust times. Hence we didn't use the same system since.

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, [space], first initial, dot, last name [eg. 00 J.Provost].
The car number must be in white. Your name may be in colour.
5. Practice Starts
Drivers are permitted to take practice starts at the location notified above, any time the pit exit is open. Drivers taking practice starts should pull up to the yellow chalk line that marks the spot, and wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.
6. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car must be to the RIGHT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the RIGHT of the white blend line. (Red lines and dashed white lines may be crossed)
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 put 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 quarter 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 10. 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 2 mins under VSC = 1 lap 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.
14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to the pit lane. The top 3 shall report to the start/finish line.
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!

Love this, awesome job Michal.
This is awesome, thank you for your work with this Scawen
Will there be the start light objects discussed previously?
Perfection! Thank you for your work with this Scawen.
Loving the sneaky pics of the other objects too
I think & would be a good option for both the polystyrene boards (if there is space) and the road markings.
I understand that the red1-3 may be a limitations currently in the insim but if that is the case I feel it could be better to have the each 'segment' as a individual object. That way we can have red to green control on each via insim. That also means we can use them for pit entry and exit lights for example. Obviously that could increase object count but currently, I tend to use 5 'start lights' when creating them anyway so shouldn't impact too much (in my use anyway).
Also if they can be double sided so you can see the light on the rear too that would be great.

Yeah, exactly to both.
I suppose what might be an idea is to have the ability to have a single 'object' and then a variable on the object to select which logo to use maybe? So for example you select 'Ad Banner' (or whatever name for the movable version), and then in the options of that object, you can select 'pic1, 2, 3, 4' etc. That way we can have many different logos we can select. Might be overthinking a bit.
Yeah sorry the distance to corner markers is what I mean. And yeah if the back of them could be mapped.
That would be great! Thanks Scawen.
I like the idea of the the alpha boards and curbs. Defiantly going to improve a lot of layouts. 1m high and 80cm wide seems a great size.
Some polystyrene boards we can use for advert placement would be great too through the pics file. The existing ones are good but as they are solid they can't really be placed in the line of fire. And the addition of a pics layer to the back of the existing countdown boards would be great too.
Another great addition would be some big 'flag panels' similar to the ones on the blackwood back straight. Controllable via the same sort of commands as the traffic lights. Layers for Green, Red and Yellow would be great but the addition of SC, VSC and even blue would be perfection. This would open up some great options with insims for race events. I think it would be best to have them without the pole as we can just use concrete pillars where needed to make them appear 'supported' and maintain the added flexibility to 'hang' them from places.
