Notes for the drivers

• All drivers must be in the server with fifteen minutes to go until the qualifying session (0215GMT), unless you have made prior arrangement. You risk losing your spot to a reserve if you are in Div2 or to a Div2 driver if you are in Div1. Once you are in the server, please try to stay there as much as possible for easier monitoring of attendance.
• This track is flat and very technical, with many turns of varying entry speeds, radii, and direction changes, which means there are many opportunities to create contact by misjudging braking points and re-entering the track after an off. Be aware of other drivers braking points and adjust yours accordingly.
• On the opening lap, the natural funnel points will be at T1, T4 and T6, be extra vigilant.
• Remember you will have cold brakes and unoptomised tyres on the opening laps, so drive accordingly!
• You are not expected to wait for another driver should you be at fault in an incident. However, should you choose to wait (to avoid being reported post-race) then do so in a safe position and within a lap of the incident. Accidents caused by drivers waiting in dangerous areas will be penalised severely.
• The staff will investigate all lap one incidents and any observed on the live broadcast - but aside from that, any incident needs to be reported within 72 hours for the staff to be able to review it - it is also fair to say that lap one incidents will be dealt harsher penalties then those during other parts of the race due to the potential for damage involved.
• May I remind you of the http://archive.touringproseries.com/Regulations/TPS%20League%20Regulations.pdf'>TPS Rules & Regulations

 

Rolling Start Details

• Excessive weaving, hard braking, hard acceleration and general tyre warming behaviour is not allowed in ATCC.
• Anybody who spins out during the formation lap will be able to resume their position but must be extremely cautious while moving back through the field, flashing their lights if necessary. This is the only time excessive flashing of lights may be used.
• Drivers proceed two-by-two, with no overtaking.
• Your speed may not exceed 105kph/65mph during the formation lap.
• All drivers must maintain this speed until the pole sitter comes to the Starting Line, at which point he may begin accelerating.
• Drivers must wait for the leader to cross the Starting line before starting to race. (Drivers do not have to wait to cross the Starting Line themselves before accelerating and racing.)
• The formation lap is part of the in-game race distance.

Track Boundaries

Track boundaries at Hungaroring are the default TouringProSeries rules, which can be read via the link above, article 6.3.

Curbing is indicated by the red and white textures.

 

Pit Entry/Exit

When entering the pits, you must not cut across the pit entry line, you must keep all four wheels inside the entry line at all times.

When exiting the pits, you must keep in the pit exit marked out until it ends, with all four wheels.

As ever, those not pitting may use these areas freely, but have to give priority to any drivers using this area for pitting purposes.

Drivers will be allowed to turn their headlights on (during the final sector) to warn those behind of their intention to pit, this is the ONLY exception to our headlights rule. Make sure to turn them off again before exiting the pits.

  • ___

Driver: Raul Perreira
Penalty: 5 points, 1 endorsement
Time: Start of Race, Lap 2 (T=271)
Reason: Contact with Duarte Lopes

Explanation: There is some side to side contact in the mid-pack ahead and Lopes takes some minor evasive action, barely slowing his pace. Perreira continues full throttle with no where to go but into the back of Duarte. Totally unnecessary starting lap incident that again cost Lopes any chance at a high finish, when drivers should be allowing for cold brakes and tires, and expecting the unexpected.

• ___

Driver: Raul Perreira   Explanation: Penalty for Contact with Barrick removed following accepted appeal.

• ___

Driver: Ethan Bass
Penalty: 5 points ,1 endorsement
Time: Start of Lap 2 (T=278)

Reason: Contact with Gardiner

Explanation: Nelson brakes too late at the final corner of the first lap of the race and makes contact with Rhys, sending him off as he was trying to avoid the incident ahead.

Driver: Keith Barrick
Penalty: 5 points, 1 endorsement
Time: Lap 3 (T=378)
Reason: Contact with Perreira

Explanation: Barrick has fought his way back and catches Perreira and punts him off going into Andretti Hairpin. Looks like payback, but that's a no-go for TPS.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

One of the most important principles in the Touring Pro Series is attendance. If a driver signs up, he is expected to attend all races in that championship.

However, the management realise that real life can get in the way, all we ask is that this is reported as far in advance as possible, as a form of courtesy should there be any replacement drivers waiting.

Absence must be reported at the very latest by 23:59GMT of the day before an event:

• If you post after the deadline, then you will have one strike against your name - three late reports in this manner (after the deadline but prior to the first official session of the race event) will result in removal from the league.
• If you post after the event has been started (within 48 hours of the beginning of the first qualifying) then you will only have two chances during the season before you will be removed from the league (report like that counts as "double strike").
• A single failure to report absence after the 48 hour deadline will result in removal from the league.
  

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Current Division Allocation Server allocations no longer include special rules for rounds 1 and 2 based on prequalification. Server allocation will now be set only by the championship standings - the top 24 drivers in the overall championship prior to an event will compete in Division One for that event. In case of absence, drivers will move up in championship order from Division Two to Division One. In event of a tie of points (drivers on minus points are classed as equivalent to 0), PreQualification results, then a driver's best result will be used. If there is a still a tie, the date of sign-up will be the final deciding factor. If your name appears in the allocation below, you are expected to show up for the race. If you cannot race you must sign-out in the Absence Report Thread HERE at least by midnight GMT on the day before the race. If you don't see your name on the list below and you are signed up, let me know via PM. If you wish to sign-up, please follow thin instructions in the Sign-Up Thread. Sign-up Thread will remain open for the foreseeable future.

[Glenn Petersen 0]

Uh, oh. I'm going to have to get my game on!

[Rhys Gardiner 273]

New objective acquired: Get back into division 1!

[David Jundt 187]

As penalties notifications are also sent by email, I sometimes get messages like these:

 

The penalty is: Disqualification.

 

 

Yeah, right. Is that a bug? Always saying "DSQ" as the awarded penalty.

 

Btw: I am still trying to get the best feel for the FFB. What are you guys using? This game has FFB effects for several situations(steering, kerbs, etc.) and I am not sure what gives a rather good feeling of the car.

[Ryan Callan 2,576]

GPCOS e-mails always say that, ignore it.

[David Jundt 187]

Alright then.

 

Guess GPCOS like a shocker when you open Email first time

[Reggie Blain 6]

Hey Guys,

i am going 2 be on the server for a while tonight working on a set up for the BMW if any 1 wants to join for some testing

[Ryan Callan 2,576]

Drivers standings now have dropped scores implemented. Please remember that the standings before dropped scores are used to allocate divisions.

[Rhys Gardiner 273]

Is doing this through the chicane considered cutting?

 

[Ryan Callan 2,576]

You must have some part of your inside wheels on the kerb. So it's not 100% clear there, but that's the rule.

[Caramidaru Bogdan 131]

great banner for event

[Dennis Phelan 17]

There's a white line there but it's too obvious I guess?

Could be why I'm slow but I haven't had good luck hitting those curbs that hard.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Remember TPS rules require two wheels within the white/yellow lines, EXCEPT when there is extra astroturf/concrete beyond the curbing (in which case 6.3.2 applies).

 

 

 

6.3.1 You may use all of the available tarmac and kerbs and in some cases (which will be
detailed in the race briefing) extra astroturf/concrete beyond the kerbing. The overriding
rule is that some part of two wheels must be within the outer edge of the white or yellow
lines, that define the edge of the track, at all times. If this is the case, then the position of
the car is always legal, no matter the position of the other two wheels.

 

6.3.2 However, where there is kerbing/astroturf/concrete which you may use (which will be
described in the race briefing often with attached screenshots), two wheels do not have
to be within the outer edge of the white lines in this instance. However, in the case of this
extra kerbing/astroturf/concrete, you may not run the full part of any of your wheels
beyond those designated areas.
