SPECIFIC CHAMPIONSHIP RULES
- NO SIGN-UP NEEDED, the events are open!
Server will be PASSWORD PROTECTED 20 minutes before the qualifying ends, to avoid late inexperienced entrants.
- WHERE I CAN FIND THE PASS?
The server password will be published both on Race Green Discord and here on the race thread.
- PITS ARE NOT MANDATORY
Pit Stops are not mandatory in this championship, but you may still need to pit during the races, for tyre changes, fuel or damage.
- CLASSIC LE MANS STARTS
A tradition of the championship: to celebrate the classic endurance races, the race starts are in classic Le Mans Style.
This means: the grid is set on a oblique line along the S/F, with start slots angled around 45°.
- RACE ALONE OR WITH A TEAMMATE!
In the spirit of Classic Endurance racing, sharing the duty also plays an important part.
This year, you can take the races alone or with one team-mate, changing drivers at the pit-stop!
Racing with a team-mate is set to be more encouraged this season, as both drivers will get full points in the drivers standings, if they share the driving time properly.
However, very important: both drivers MUST compete at least 40% race distance.
Example: This Race is 47 laps -> 40% of 47 > 19 laps of minimum race distance for each driver.
IF NOT respected, the driver who raced for the shortest time, will receive half points.
- YOU CAN REJOIN AFTER A CRASH OR A DISCONNECTION!
Re-joining is allowed after crashes or disconnections!
But you'll have to wait 1 MINUTE as a spectator, before re-entering the race.
You'll see a Countdown appearing when you spectate during the race, that will help you understand better when you can rejoin the track!
If this re-joining time is not respected, the driver will be DQ from the final results.
- MID RACE JOIN IS NOT ALLOWED
Mid race join from people who didn't qualified, is not allowed
- CAR CHANGE BETWEEN QUALI AND RACE IS NOT ALLOWED
Tactical change between Quali & Race is not allowed.
If happen, the driver will be DSQ from results
You MUST race with the car you've done your best time with in qualifying.
General Racing Rules
CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS AFTER 1 ROUND
The Season is just at its beginning, but already some major plot twists took place in most of the classes, and some interesting storylines are developing!
For example, 2025 LMP1 Champion Thehemuli will have to bounce back in Autocross Retro after Round 1's nightmary-ish race, and try to cut back the gap to S.Martin!
Also the LFS superstar GABOR is rumored to take part in the LMP1 class this round, providing even more talking points!
LMP2 battle will get even more intense after a brilliant debut in Westhill North RGA, with a few new entries that should bring the challenge to Mazdarati, and we expect more cars to join the Group 5 field!
Group 4 should bring us another cracking race after a box office Westhill debut, can anyone stop [TC-R] Adam?
And finally, Road Class: YES Trespasser will have to defend his lead from the attack of Madjester, who looked super strong in practice.
