LFSBC drivers shall color their car numbers yellow, NDRC drivers shall color their car numbers blue. You are to select no color (furthest right color button) for the rest of your name.

The Race will start via Standing Start.

The Safety Car will wait at the pit entry lane before the wall starts in the event that there is a Turn 1 incident. After all cars are through the first three turns safely, the Safety Car will duck immediately into pitlane.

The SC will travel at approximately 150 km/h (93 mph) throughout the course, only slowing for natural slow points. The SC will be an FXR for this round. Drivers should remember SC distance regulations: The leader must remain around 8 to 10 car lengths off the SC, and drivers must leave about 3 to 5 car lengths between their car and the car ahead. Incidents due to following too close may be deemed to be caused by neglect, and a harsher penalty issued.

During SC deployments, the SC Inlap indication will come when the SC on the long straight prior to the corkscrew. At this point, it will begin to accelerate away, and the leader is expected to maintain SC pace, and is not to begin accelerating until it exits the final turn.

The track image indicating approximate Intermediate locations and turn numbers, as we reference them will be posted soon. Please use those in any protests you may make.

Please do not make protests in this tread, there will be a thread created for that after the race has been completed.

There may be a layout in place for this race. It will be posted soon if there will be one.

You might want to remove the 'Car Choice (XFG or XRG)' line and the 'XFG' in the example.
@Tim: Thanks for catching it, it's fixed.

These two drivers do not currently meet the hotlap provision of the requirement. They are provisionally added to the confirmed list.

To meet this requirement, both must submit a hotlap to LFSWorld within 103% of the WR time for that combo, which is a combo on the LFSBC calendar. To see what 103% would be, look for the "benchmark" information for each combo.

It will be up to whoever is on duty during the race to allow or disallow these two to race. If they seem like competent, able racers, I would concur with waiving of the hotlap requirement for this round.

I may or may not be at the race, pending a rainout of what I'm shooting tommorow, which should happen before the racing is supposed to start.

But if I can't make it, Falke should be around to do it.
