Event structure:

Each series round will be an “event” containing qualification and race.

The event will be held at 9397 Racing server.

The server may be passworded before or after qualification. In that case, the password will be written in the chat/sent via pm in LFS Forum etc.

UTC 16:00: Qualification 20min

– Qualification time for the race is 110% of the pole time. Though we are not waterproof strict with this rule, for example if you are a well known league racer and/or you have already done a quick enough personal best on the event server OR if you give an impression of a safe racer who respect others and does not go off track every minute, you will be allowed to participate the race. Its up to the race director (or…race dictator hehe) to decide that!

Break ~7min

– Between qualification and race, there will be ~ 7 minute (depending on how long it lasts to the last car to end his hotlap) break.

– During this break, server will be passworded. Password will be loveforspeed. Password will be removed after race has started.

UTC 16:30: Race 1hour

– Race lenght will no be defined as laps, instead the lenght is 1 hour. After one hour when leader crosses start/finish line, the race is finished.

– Jump start -> Spectate. You need to wait some 15 sec until race has started, then you can join. – Midrace join possible during “first lap”

– No mandatory pit stop

– No restarts/restart votes (in extreme disaster cases and or unexpected issues, admin may restart)

– You have *finished the race if both are true:

* Your name is in the game’s Finished-list

* You are no more than 3 laps behind the winner (Round 1 & 3)

* You are no more than 4 laps behind the winner (Round 2 & 4)

Pointing system:

Points from the race are give as follow: MaxPoints=Amount of cars in the grid

Winner gets MaxPoints+3

2nd gets MaxPoints

3rd gets MaxPoints-2

4th gets MaxPoints-3

5th gets MaxPoints-4

etc. until there is finishers

* Every finisher will earn points.

* Every finisher will earn skill points as follow:

1 point from finishing Round 2

2 points from finishing Round 3

3 points from finishing Round 4

* Additional points given:

Pole position: 1 point

Fastest lap (among the finishers) 1 point

See points standings table with example points

Rules during event:

Layouts used in the series

Unfair/disrespecting/silly behaviour may lead to disqualification/kick/ ban, for example

disrespecting Blue Flag

disrespecting good and fair racing habits, ramming, blocking etc.

using the track for other purposes than racing

disturbing in chat

Other rules

Your ping must be below 400 for participating the event

for participating the event driving the car backwards around the track (this rule is specially for UM21) is prohibited

cheats and hacks will lead to 999 day ban from the server

Spectators should not use chat during race, if you retire from race, don’t chat please

If mess happens on 1st lap, race will NOT be restarted. Restart votes will be automatically canceled.

Don’t forget the qualification time rule. It is described in the Event Structure section.

Button clutch is not banned. Why? I think, if you have put effort to learn it, you earn the advantage it gives. Same logic with manual gears vs. automatic gears. However, button clutch macros are prohibited and will lead to ban.

What if I crash my car?

If you car flips on the track, so that you cannot move it any more, you should spectate as quick as possible

If you crash but your car still drivable, you dont need to spectate, just try your best to not cause additional danger and resume the race safely

to not cause additional danger and resume the race If someone else crashes in front of you or you see yellow flag: Don’t hurry so much that you lose your awareness it is your responsibility to avoid wrecks on the track
