DanSkin Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Please remember that UK Dirt General Rules apply at all times. Not being aware of these rules is no excuse, I do this because I enjoy it. I don't enjoy reminding people you should not be swearing or driving around like numpties. So wether you've been a member for a few days, or a few years can I advise you take a moment to re-familiarise yourself with them here. Registration Any driver wishing to compete in this series must be a registered and fully paid up member of UK Dirt. Any driver wishing to compete in this series must register as a member of UK Dirt F1s (this is to avoid number clashing and to ensure preference is given to existing members). Downloads This series currently uses RFactor V1.255(F). In order to compete (i.e. avoid mismatches that will prevent you from racing) you should have the RFactor F1 Stockcar mod installed, including all UK Dirt Skinpacks. - F1 Stockcars - http://rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=F1%20Stockcars (v0.1, followed by v0.2 update) - Skinpacks #1 - http://forum.kev149.com/index.php?showtopic=24914 - Skinpacks #2 - http://forum.kev149.com/index.php?showtopic=25903 - Skinpacks #3 - http://forum.kev149.com/index.php?showtopic=26209 All tracks and download location information will be made available in the fixtures. Skins Drivers should submit a skin of each roof grade (white, yellow, blue and red) for each surface (tarmac and shale). Reigning World and National Points Champions may submit, and race under solely the Gold and Silver roof respectively. Drivers may submit 1 set of skins for the duration of the series. No swearing or obscenities will be permitted on any skin. Novice/Other skins are available for drivers without a skin. See this skinpack thread for more details. Other skinpack(s) may be released over the course of the series IF there is sufficient demand - don't post your skins assuming you'll get a skinpack, but do ask. Forewarning will be given publicly if another skinpack is to be released. Gradings Over the course of the series gradings will be "active". Gradings will be based on Points Total, Points Average and other formulae performance. Because of the short nature of the series grading changes will be made weekly, these will be announced during the week before the next meeting. Where necessary grading changes may be applied mid-meeting. Any new drivers booking in will be pre-graded in the Meeting Information. The grading split will be (roughly):- SS 10%, Red 20%, Blue 20%, Yellow 20%, White 30%. This list is from top-to-bottom, i.e. the top 10% will be superstars, the next 20% red, etc. Meetings Meetings will take place on Sunday evenings at 8:30pm (please be in chat by 8:20pm. A bookings thread will be made available after each preceding meeting. Please book in stating your name and racing number. You should ensure you enter chat, and race in game using both of these in your name. Format: - There will be 3 heats of 16 laps for each driver. - There will be a meeting final of 21 laps, and where the number of drivers racing exceed 30 there will also be a "b" final. Final participants will be chosen based on scores over the course of the heats - ties decided on best places. - There will be a grand national of 16 laps for each driver. Points: - Heats: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Finals: 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 - Grand Nationals: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Drivers must complete 75% race distance to qualify for points. The winner of the meeting final may start the grand national with a lap handicap (whites and yellows take a half lap) and score double points in that race. Start Procedures On entry to race, drivers will not start racing straight away. After the green light/flag drivers will be expected to drive slowly to their grid slot NOT hitting other cars in the process. DO NOT race to your grade. Line up in the order given, two abreast, or in the order you appear on track in. Grade positions: - Whites: half way down the back straight - Yellows: quarter of the way down the back straight - Blues: turn two - Reds: turn one - SS: two thirds down the home straight In most cases there will be no race steward. Line up in grid slots and when everyone is ready someone will call "ANYONE NOT READY" follow by "ROLL AT 30". The race will start when the lead car exits turn four. Racing Etiquette Drivers should race in the correct direction at all times. Drivers should not use the infield in any circumstances - if you are spun out onto the infield, return carefully to the track! There should be no deliberate take outs or follow ins, especially from lap(s) down - respect other drivers and you’ll be given respect yourself. No talking during the race. Basically… play nicely and all get along…!!! Disciplinary Matters Please, please, please remember that this is supposed to be a relaxed and fun series, run outside of the normal leagues to test the RFactor F1 Stockcar mod. I do not want to have to be banning people, or dealing with complaints week after week. However, if you do find yourself with cause for complaint, send a PM to me including replay and an overview of your complaint. If incidents arise such that a complaints and disciplinary system has to be put into place - that will be dealt with at the time and amendments will be made here. Series/Championship(s) Over the course of the series, drivers will be awarded points at each meeting. There will be a series points championship with the winning driver crowned UK Dirt RFactor F1 Stockcar Autumn Series Champion (go on, try and say that quickly...). The series finale meeting will carry double points towards this championship. There will be no other championships at stake over the course of the series. LASTLY - I'm not evil or nasty in anyway, and neither is MoR... as far as I know anyway... So if you need any help or have any questions - just drop either of us a PM.

DanSkin Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Posted October 11, 2007 Skinpacks & Beta version required updated On another note, please read about how races are started if you haven't already. I honestly didn't write all this because I enjoy writing stuff for people to ignore. Not having a go at anyone in particular, just want everyone to enjoy themselves and understand what's going on.
