1. Alerting the Administration:

2. Communications:
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 (grey or white), space, then First initial last name [eg. 00 J. Palmer]. The name may be in colour, but we prefer all white - consistency looks better, and is easier to read.
5. Tracker:
Timing will be available and running on http://tracker.newdimensionracing.com.
6. Wind Conditions:
Low wind for all sessions, except Pre-Qualifying.
7. Virtual Safety Car Test
There will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting about 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.
8. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, all parts of the car and wheels must be on the apron of Turn 13 from the first Safety Car line, marked by three green cones each side of the apron and course.
On pit exit, all parts of the car and wheels must be on the apron of Turn 1 from the pit exit to the second safety car line, marked by three green cones each side of the apron and course.
The yellow lines extending from the apron to the track are guide lines only, and may be crossed.
9. Qualifying Procedure
The course is open for laps from the session start until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.
10. Race Start:
Each race will have one unscored formation lap, followed by a double-file rolling start.
The grid for the race will spawn in the pitlane, at the exit. When the session timing starts, drivers are to pull away from their grid spots in grid order, and maintain pitlane speed until past the pit exit line. For the grid departure ONLY, all cars will enter the track just past the end of the pit wall, and not use the apron for the start of the formation lap.
The SC will slow to 70 kph after Turn 12, and stay at the head of the field. From this point, the field should begin forming into dual-file formation. Polesitter will be asked their chosen side during the gridding process. The Safety Car will pull into the pitlane from the exit of Turn 13. Drivers should hold pace until the green flag is given - overtaking is permitted on race start from the green flag.
In the event of an aborted start, there will be no message except a voice wave-off call in TeamSpeak. Drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. Two wave-offs are permitted before the race start will be a standard safety car restart. Race laps will start counting after the first start attempt, regardless of start or no start.
11. 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 all restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.
12. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed to pit lane. The top 3 shall report back to Start / Finish Line for podium pose.
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.
13. 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, you are permitted to rejoin the race, and we will add your completed laps to your car once you've rejoined.
Please post any procedural questions in this thread.
Good luck!
