Weight penalties
To ensure everyone has a chance for a good result up to the last race, weight penalties will be handed out.
And it adds up. If you win 2 x and have 1 third place, your weight penalty = 70 kilos (maximum 120 kilos for the whole season).

After each race, weight penalties are as follows:
1st place = 30 kilo's
2nd place = 20 kilo's
3rd place = 10 kilo's
You can find a list of drivers with weight penalties here: https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/threads/weight-penalty-overview.2548/

Assetto Corsa & Porsche pack 2
1. You need to have the standard Assetto Corsa game, witch holds the Mazda 787B and the Mercedes-Benz C9.
2. You only need the add on Porsche Pack 2 witch holds the Porsche 962C, the other 2 Porsche packs don't matter.
(Even if you don't drive the Porsche 962, you still need to own it, or you'll get a mismatch on the server)

The links are on the "Cars and Track" tab of each series event.

No entry fee
There is no entry fee for this series.

App) Helicorsa_V6
Helicorsa is a app that detects cars close to you, so contact can be avoided.
You must have this app installed and activated to take part in this series.
Download: https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/resources/helicorsa_v6.442/
More info: www.youtube.com/watch?v=koCDJJR_EoA

If you don't have this app installed and activated, you will have to do a drive-through penalty in the next race.

How does each race start?
Each race starts with a formation lap (Rolling start). The pole sitter maintains a speed of +/- 120 km/h.
The formationlap is done in single file (all behind eachother).
The race starts at the end of the formation lap, entering the last corner.
You are not allowed to pass cars before fully exiting that last corner.

No-shows
If a driver does not show up for a race without unregistering for that event or letting me know that he can't make it in the event-forum, he will be taken out of the complete series.

(You don't have to unregister for the whole series. You can unregister only for the race you can't do.)

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 laptime and crashing.

Teamspeak

Teamspeak is one of the features of Sim Racing Online.
If you would like to hook up with other drivers on teamspeak before the race (or any time), here is the forumlink for the SRO Teamspeak adres and password:
https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/threads/teamspeak-ip-address-password.19/

For who are not familiar with Teamspeak, you need to add the Sim Racing Online channel to your "bookmarks".

1 hour before the race, the signuplist will be "locked" and can not be changed.


If you have any questions or need help, please contact me.

Please note that prize money awarded in this series is privately funded. Prizes are not funded by donations made to SRO.

 

I just give a quick blip on the throttle with automatic clutch on downshifting (braking left foot). Works fine. As you know, Heel-toe is for guys that use manual clutch and braking right foot.
You can use auto clutch as a driving aid in the series, so no extra work needed if you like it that way.

 

I had a question from a other member where you can turn on / off auto clutch, auto shifting ect.

On the main menu, go to "Drive" on the top (with the steering wheel)
Go to "realism" (the menu at the bottom with 4 tabs from Rookie to Pro)
There you can turn on / off all these settings.

 

There are only 7 places left on the signup list (max 23 spots). This series is hot . Don't wait too long signing up, or you'll be a "red light".


Please only sign up if you're really gonna do the series. "No shows" are not fair to people on the waitinglist.

Just a quick note on the Car pack;

If you are driving the Mazda 787B or the Mercedes-Benz C9, you still need to buy the add-on Porsche pack 2. Otherwise you don't match up with the server.

Don't worry, it's also a good investment for other series. There are a lot of cool cars in there

Please note that I've made a small change to the prizemoney condition.

Prizemoney will only be awarded if there are 15 or more drivers attending a race on average.

 

But Roel, my child ... I've posted setups for al 3 cars on the "Group C video guides" a week ago
Look underneath each video.

Round 7 Thomson Road GP has been replaced with Kyalami 1967.

 

Pit Lane Penalty (PLP) app is no longer in use.

The app Pit Lane Penalty (PLP) will no longer be used at Sim Racing Online. It is too strict when going outside the line with 2 wheels.
Please de-activate the app for all Assetto Corsa series at Sim Racing Online !!

 

Test practice server is up. You can try out cars and practice.
You can find the password here: https://www.simracingonline.co.uk/racing/eventinfo/551

 

Pretty nice work Andrew. Looking great on the windscreen. Shame it won't go on all the doors, but looking good already. Thanks.
Was thinking about maybe putting the SRO logo on the rearwings, but that might turn out ugly? What do you think?

 

That's cool. The rear wing was just an idea. If it doesn't look good, ditch it
