Stewards Note:

Please read the rules to avoid more penalties. It's for your own good.
We only looked at submitted IRR's, so please report other incidents in the future.
 
I would like to clarify starting procedure.

After Qualy and Warm Up count down for the Race will start, so you hit RACE button to come on the track with your car. We all know this, it is simple, but here comes important part.
When starting lights switch off, you don´t start to race, but start formation lap with pit limiter on (under Orange Zone), overtaking is prohibited until exit of the turn 13, where race will start. So, out of turn 13 you can start with the race, not before you exit it.

See picture below and good luck all :).

Just a reminder, TS is mandatory, as specified in the rules. You can join any of the numbered channels.
We'll use TS to announce a code 80 and for any other necessary communication.

A code 80 is called in a situation where there is a heavily damaged vehicle on track and the stewards feel like the track isn't safe enough to drive on race speed. You'll hear someone counting down from 10 to 0. Once the countdown has started, you'll have slow down and engage the pit limiter. When the countdown hits 0, you have to be driving 80km/h or slower.
Once the track is safe enough again, the stewards will let you know with a 5 second countdown. Again, when the timer hits 0, you can disengage the pitlimiter and return to racing speed.

Hello all.
I am afraid I won't be racing in this event and most likely none of the following races. I'm just coming back from a bit of an injury and I don't feel up to racing any kind of Endurance, especially without practice. I really would have liked to compete in some of the main Endurance competitions here in the future but it looks like a joined the site a few weeks too late and I am a bit pinned here. I might re-sign for the second season of this...."Academy"....if I feel 100% fit again.

I guess this is my formal withdrawal (I couldn't see anywhere else to do it).
 
Only send IRR's with the official server replay that will be posted tomorrow! All incidents reported using a personal replay will be ignored and deleted.
