In yesterday's streamed race we whitnessed a huge wall of cars.
This might not change today as the CityLiga moves to Blackwood Rallyecross West with the RB4 GT cars (Of course we hope it does change). After two rounds CL15 champion HoR Schuhti leads from CoRe C.Winkler, defending CL champion. So the top two most succesful drivers (depending on the definitions) are fighting for the next points.

The second time we race on the loose stuff for this season's sprint event. Four races of 16 laps each using the RB4 GT at Blackwood Rallyecross West.
A 2-shot qualification will be driven, so everyone has two "shots" at driving an out- and a hotlap. After completing the hotlap every driver must return to the pits or join the spectators! The yellow pit exit blendline may not be crossed.
The drivers who are on the odd positions of their respective grids start in the first of the four races. The drivers listed on even positions of their respective grids start in the second race. These two races are the semi-final races and the finals follow.
The B-final (third race) features those drivers, who finished in the bottom half their respective race and the A-final (fourth race) features the drivers, who finished in the top half of their respective race. For the finals, the starting order is reversed to the finishing order.
All four races are started after a laglap. Drivers who have to reenter the race may do so within the first two laps until the race leader started his third lap. Exiting the pitlane the blend line has to be respected! For each race half points are awarded. At this place the information may be repeated, that to score points, you have to finish the race.
Due to the nature of an open configuration, there will be no yellow flags! We ask for foresightful driving!
CityLiga heads to the origin of its name - the streets of South City and combines them with the NGTRs. We're also back on Simrace.TV sothat this time stabil streaming can be provided.
In the two sprint races of Round 1 HoR Schuhti scored the most points with the CoRe duo C.Winkler and L.Kovacs close behind. After one round obviously nothing is decided. Schuhti and C.Winkler are also the winner and the runner-up from the last CityLiga NGTR race, the second sprint race of round 5 from Fern Bay in CL18 (the first was won by P.Schülter). The rest of the current Top-6 however did not score good results in that round. All are probably keen on changing this tonight.

I am honestly very sorry I did not show up today. It is not my style to stay away without notice. The day grew older and older. When I realised I couldn't make it back home in time, I sadly did not have a cell phone around to notify it earlier.
South City Long (SO4)
Sunset Cloudy (3), no wind (0) UF GTR (UFR) with 20kg, XF GTR (XFR)
time qualification of 10 minutes lap qualification of 1 lap, best 6 drivers of the previous session race of 42 laps
Briefing:
We head to the second GridQualification combo: South City Long with the NGTRs, so the UF GTR and the XF GTR. The UFR has to be equiped with an handicap weight of 20kg, or you will be disqualified form the respective session!
It all starts with a 10 minute qualifying session. There are no restrictons on how many tries one may take. Furthermore joining the pits (Shift+S/+P) is allowed at any time.
The top six drivers are continuing with a lap qualification (hotlap qualifying) of 1 lap. The drivers will be called into the session by the race admins, usually starting with the sixth, the fifth a.s.o..
In both sessions crossing the pit exit blend line will result in a drive-through penalty, which has to be served imediately! Should anyone join the pits with an unserved penalty his times are deleted and he has to start from the rear of the grid.
The following race will be 42 laps long. There is no mandatory pitstop. Everyone has the right, to re-enter the race once, until the leader starts the third lap of the race.
Should someone use this option or decide to do a pitstop, one has to watch the pit exit blend line. Crossing eventually results in a drive-through penalty, which has to be served in race within three laps, otherwise it will be upgraded! In case of an unserved stop&go penalty, it will be upgraded to a disqualification
Since this is a city circuit, which lacks, due to the nature of such tracks, sufficient recovery zones, we ask you for mutual respect.
We wish you good luck and have fun!
PS: In case you don't make the race, please don't forget to withdraw from the race until Wednesday 18:15 UTC. Otherwise 60 penalty points for the driver's championship and 30 penalty points for the team's championship will be issued. On second occasion you're disqualified from the reminder of the season and be issued further 30 penalty points from the team's championship.
