Out of 9 races, your best 8 results will contribute to your final series standings. This means you can miss a race and still be in contention. You are required to have a functioning microphone during the race meeting to allow for communication. It is recommended you save Replays. This may help rectify disputes.

 
QUALIFYING
Qualifying will be done during the week prior to race time (up until 6:20pm Easter Time, 11:20pm UK).  Mr sharperSin, F4H Hamilton, Mr Scuderia, Mr Stuttgart can hold qualifying sessions. Each Race will have a 5 lap qualifying to determine the starting Grid. --Hosts of the qualifying lobbies should set up a 6 lap race, and have drivers stop at the end of Lap 5. This will give you time to write down quaifying times.  There will be a "shootout' lap for those who did not qualify. This lap will be done during the Making of the GRID order.  The drivers who qualified will get in order an proceed to finish. When the end-race timer starts , the drivers who did not qualify will sprint to the finish and be ordered by finish position.

RACE
The Grid order is determined by qualifying. Each race will be a STANDING Start. The race is TIMED (this may change) at 45 minutes. Winner is determined by distance after 45 minutes.
1 Mandatory Pit is in effect (see pit rules). Cautions may be called during the race if two or more cars are invloved in an incident within the first lap (see Caution Rules)

PITS
Each race has 1 mandatory pit. The Pit can be taken between 10-35 minutes. Any pits taken before or after those times do NOT qualify as the mandatory pit, so you will need to pit twice. If you fail to pit in a race, you will be disqualified, but will be given points for the last position in your class.

CAUTIONS
Cautions may be called during the race if two or more cars are invloved in an incident. The drivers invloved must call the caution. The Field will Slow to 60 mph. The caution period is two laps. ONLY the drivers invloved may pit during this time, if needed. It is up to the drivers to catch back up to the field before the restart. The leading car will give a 3-2-1 countdown and restart the race.

RESTARTS
Restarts may be called during the first 4 minutes if two or more cars are invloved in an incident. We will start the first lap single file, and the cars that were invloved will go to the back of the pack (with the car causing the accident at the very back). The Pole sitter will give a 3-2-1 countdown to begin the race (anywhere around the start line).

LOBBY SET UP AND INFORMATION
DUE to the connection issues with Turn 10 and Forza Motorpsort, we will be limiting this to 1 race lobby. Only the Top 8 from each class will participate in Lobby 1. However, The option for a second lobby is available to those who do not qualify for lobby 1. Follow the Lobby set-up (which will be posted soon). (If there is room to add a driver in, they are welcome to join.  Example, if 9 GS drivers Qualify, and only 7 ST drivers qualify, the 9th GS driver can join the lobby)
