8) Advise: We are going into the night. Put your headlights on "auto" to avoid a DQ!
9) YOU HAVE TO USE THE SAME CAR THROUGHOUT THE SERIES THAT YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT.

3. The use of the Esc. key in Qualification
Use of the Esc key during Qualifying is the equivalent of stopping your car and getting out. This may be done only in your pit stall. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Here are the only two we will currently consider. These exceptions are subject to change at any time:
- You run out of fuel in the pit lane before reaching your pit stall.

If you use the Esc key in any location other than your pit stall, your Qualifying session is over and you may not return to the track.

4. You can find the password for the race server on the Le Mans event page.

5. Unregistering in time if you can't make it.

6. Please use the SAME NAME in the rFactor 2 game as on our SRO signup list or it won't match in our automated result processing.
You can change your name in the rFactor 2 "Profile" menu.

7. If you plan to PROTEST another driver, you have to wait 24 hours counting from the end of the race.
Any protest filed before that time will be viewed as not received. You can find the rules about submitting a protest here.

I was doing fuel calculation in the dark in my head and completely forgot where I was on track and then ... KABOMB ... in the guardrail.
That was a shame. I liked doing Le Mans in the dark on a wet track. First time for me in an online race in those conditions. That was quite an adventure .
It was a damn shame that I crashed the car just by day(night)dreaming.

ESCAPE RULE IN QUALIFYING

I would like to remind everybody of the escape rule in qualifying.
The members that went back out in qual after pressing escape DNF'd, so they got off with a warning this time.
But from round 2 onwards, the rule will be enforced.

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.
