SERVER: RGE Retro Cup (Online)


EVENT TIMETABLE

Monday, November 10th

QP (60 min) || 19:00 CET // 18:00 UTC
RACE (90 minutes-37 laps) || 20:10 UTC / 19:10 UTC


The Retro Paddock moves to Japan for the fifth round of this spectacular 2025 Season!

We've seen it all already: from the unforgiving Westhill North RGE to the dangers of Aston Retro, then racing in the Outskirts of Blackwood, before moving to the tropics of Fern Bay and its traps.

This monday, the Retro Drivers will have to face a completely different challenge from all the previous rounds.

With its long sequences of fast bends, Kyoto Ring Retro is by far the most punishing circuit of the championship for the tyres consumption.

The drivers will have to work carefully on the setup and trim out their endurance drivers skills to find a good balance and be able to push at good pace all race long, without punctures or unplanned pit stops!

If you're a spectator, grab a Sake or order a Sushi, and relax.
Sit back and enjoy the show LIVE on SIMBROADCASTS, with the amazing commentary team of Kieran Redman, Rob Mathershaw, Peter Butcher and Adam Sears!

If you're a Retro Driver, brace yourself for one of the most difficult races of the season, where you'll need to show a complete set of skills to be fast till the end!

7 Retro cars available, split in 4 classes!
Pick your car, and fight for the win in your class!

Cars restrictions:

Ferrenzi | 3% engine + 140 KG ballast
Cammera | 3% engine (-1%)



Pitting rules:

Pit-Stop is not specifically required, but the race is 90 minutes long, so you might need it anyway, either to change worn tyres or go for a specific fuel strategy.



Le Mans style Start procedure:

In proper Retro fashion, the cars will be aligned oblique on the start finish straight.
At the green light, the race is ON, so you'll have to steer RIGHT and accelerate!

(there are also arrows marks pointing the correct direction in front of you!)



SPECIFIC RULES:

- Re-joining is ALLOWED after crashes or disconnections!
But you'll have to wait 1 MINUTE (60 seconds) from the time of disconnection/telepit/crash.
If you crash and damage your car, press "Spectate": you'll be guided by on-screen graphics with a countdown, indicating you when you can rejoin the track!

If this re-joining wait time is not respected, the driver will be penalized, with severity based on the time gained.

- Mid-race join without qualifying IS NOT ALLOWED, and the driver will be removed from the results and risk a server ban.

- Changing cars beteween quali and race is NOT ALLOWED, and will results in DQ from final results and possible bans.

- Changing driver at the pit-stop IS ALLOWED, but the final results will see the points splitted between the two drivers.

- Server will be PASSWORD PROTECTED 15 minutes into qualifying, to avoid late inexperienced entrants.
Password will be shared on Race Green discord and here on the forum thread.

- The championship is open to join, no Sign-ups required



GENERAL RACING RULES

Spoiler - click to reveal

We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race,so any action will be made only after protest while all retirements will be investigated automatically. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best fair resolution or punishment if needed.

Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
> Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times. Track is mostly marked by white lines,while also curbs count towards track. Overtaking outside track limits counts as illegal and will be penalized in case of a protest.
> Contacts - have to be avoided at all costs as always. Lap 1 contacts could be investigated and result in penalties.
> Pit exit - pit exit lines will have to be respected - drivers may not cross the pit exit line with more than 2 wheels and have to make way for cars racing at full speed. Failing to comply with this rule will award them with 10s penalty,while causing incidents will result in bigger penalty. Pit entry lines will not be monitored,they serve just as guidelines.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given! Any in server present observers/spectators are not allowed to chat at all during race session!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection and high ping,he will not be allowed to participate at the current round.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.

Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions,like illegal passing,pit exit line violation,too much chatting.
> 30s added to finish time - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences,illegal passing.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 2 and 3) - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.
