WELCOME TO THE INDYCAR DALLARA IR18 2025 CHAMPIONSHIP

S397 Indycar IR18 details - link

This is the first series of the 2025 SIMRACINGONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The points of the end result of this series will count for the 2025 4 series championship.

The S397 Indycar Dallara represents the car from the 2022 season.
We will run all the tracks from 2022, with the exception of Surfers Paradise where Indycar organizers held an Indycar exhibition race in 2008.

Tyres: you are free to use any tyre you want throuth-out the race.

PUSH TO PASS (P2P)
Be aware that the S397 Indycar Dallara has the possibility of 150 seconds push to pass (P2P) for the entire race.
When and how long you deploy it is up to you.
You will have to be tactical with the deployment of the P2P until the end of the race.

BROADCAST
In principle, all races will be broadcast by Rob Milliken with allowance for the fact that he also plays in a band as a drummer and now and again has to go on the road.
In that case, the race will go on, but the broadcast is cancelled, unless we have a backup.

Weather
All events in this series will be dry.

****************************************************************
Tyres

How does each race start?
The race starts with a Formation lap & ROLLING START.
When the pole-sitter exits the last corner, the race is on for all.
Cars behind can not overtake any car before they exit the last corner.

****************************************************************
No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

****************************************************************
Tracks
We will only use the original Indycar 2022 tracks, with the exception of Surfers Paradise.

DISCO PROTOCOL
To prevent the loss of drivers to an event due to mass-disconnections, Sim Racing Online introduces the following protocol.
(TEAMSPEAK INFO - go to TS channel rFactor 2)


ADDITIONAL INFO:
- A group of discos of 3 or more have to happen within a time zone of 5 minutes, otherwise they are viewed as separate incidents. For exemple ...
Driver 1 discos at the start, driver 2 after 15 minutes and driver 3 after 1 hour, those are separate incidents.
- The pits will remain open during a Full Course Yellow period.
- After a disco you can rejoin with a fresh vehicle : When you get back in session, your car is brand new, ready to start in Pits and you can use "Drive" to get back on track.
