Sponsor logo for Detailing Group (DG) on both sides of the car and on the hood.

In your livery’s , make sure to go to driving options and choose a placard then your number, then turn off the placard. This will ensure that your proper driver number shows up when the streamer is watching your car on the stream and hits driver info.

After the initial Qualifier, each race Qualifier will be determined by your fastest lap time from the race before. Then ordered in reverse, so the fastest will start at the rear of the field in the next race.
Example: Race 2 Qualifier Order will be determined by your fastest lap time from race 1. Race 3 Qualifier will be determined by your fastest lap time in race 2, and so on and so forth.
If you miss a race and come back for the fallowing race, you will start from the back of the field! If you can’t make a race please let your host know at least 12 hours before lobby opens so we can get a reserve in place.

DIVISIONS/LOBBIES:

There will be up to 3 classes of driver, and up to three divisions (lobbies). here is how it will work>>

All drivers will qualify during the initial qualifier. After the times are recorded, drivers will be placed into “Classes”. The classes are

GTC-1
GTC-2
GTC-3

These classes will race in a Division (lobby) based on their class. The reason for the “Classes” and the “Divisions” is that there may be times when a division is short drivers. Race control will choose drivers from a lower numbered division, to race in the higher numbered division as to keep the higher divisions full. This will keep Division 1 and Division 2 full each race. Drivers likely should only be asked once to participate in a higher Division. We will try to keep top contenders competing in the same lobbies.

How the points will work.

Each “Class” driver will earn points based on their time. So if a driver is participating in a higher ranked lobby, their time will be compared to their “class” and not the actual finishing position in the race. This means that you can compete with drivers in other “classes” that might be faster than you, but if your time is faster than the other drivers in your “class”, then you will gain the 1st position points. This means that drivers can compete in any Division (lobby) and still earn points in their class.

After each race has been reviewed and properly stewarded, results will be posted.

RULES AND REGULATIONS:

These are long races with full damage, you won’t win on the first lap. Because of the full damage we don’t want anyone stopping or waiting on the track, it is too much of a hazard for the other drivers, please keep racing and you will be given a penalty if reported. If you have any issues with contact, the stewards will review after the race.

You will only be given 3 strikes for aggressive contact like punting or forcing another driver off the track, after that you will be disqualified from the season.

Penalties must be served before crossing the start finish line. 5 second penalty per incident.

Penalties for contact:

First aggressive penalty 30 seconds. 2nd aggressive penalty 1:00 minute. 3rd aggressive penalty 2:00 and disqualified from the series

This race will be full damage so you can go into pits at anytime for damage but remember if you get tires and, or fuel outside of the pit window you will be penalized. Penalties will be delivered for each violation, it is not a one time thing.

PIT Penalties:

Fuel outside window-1:00 minute
Tires outside window- 1:00 minute
Both outside window-2:00 minute
5 Second penalty for crossing the pit lane entry/exit line.

To be clear…you must not cross pit entry line before 50:00 min left, and you must cross pit exit line no later than 40:00 left in the race.

Scoring:

1st place will receive 15 points down to last place receiving 1 point. Every position counts, so race hard, and fight for those positions, but above all RACE CLEAN, the stewards will be watching.
