We´re proud to announce our plans for the new season.
Schedule:
This will be a "special event" a 2 hour test race 2 weeks prior to the race.
This will be used to review new teams just signing up for this race.
A 2 hour qual session (grid is not locked to drivers, which mean Driver 1 can Q the car, and driver 2 will get the same position)
However the Q session will not allow duplicate cars, so #23 can only be present 1 time (swaps will be allowed). The Q session will be held 2 weeks prior to the race.
Rule changes:
We´re gonna make some adjustments to the rules. Heres a list of some of the changes.
Mod:
This shouldn´t come as a surprise.
We will be using a private version of the payware mod from URD. Using both their Prototype and GT mod.
We will update the cars with our set of tyres (soft, mediums, hards, wets and inters).
Also we will be adding the illuminate numberplates.
Classes:
We would like to have a full blown endurance multiclass. I still believe one of the best seasons was S3 when we had P1, P2 and GT2´s racing.
When sign up opens we will have:
LMP1 - this is the premium prototype class, we would suggest only signing up to this if you are familiar to multiclass racing and is ready to put in significantly amount of practice in.
LMP2 - this is the entry to prototype, we would suggest you sign up in this if you are not alien or don't have significant time to practice.
GTE-Pro - this is the premium GT class, we would suggest only signing up to this class if your team has significant time to practice and/or is a top notch driver.
GTE-Am - this is the real entry level class, unlike the Prototypes the 2 GTE classes is identical. We would suggest you sign up in this if you are not alien or dont have significant time to practise.

Rule changes:
We´re gonna make some adjustments to the rules. Heres a list of some of the changes.
- Generally i´ve made time adjustments to CET - this will be our new standard, easier for me to manage.
- We´ve removed the motec plugin prohibited, as this will not cause issues in rF2.
- We´re not allowing people to race via WIFI.
- We have removed all limits and notes about driverswaps, and have added ONE easy and simple rule:
Which means no more calculating if a driver has reached 70%, no more penalties/solo events. However this also means you will not be allowed to race at the same computer anymore. - Skin submission deadline will be moved to 14 days ahead of the race, we need more time to prepare for a race, and also doublecheck everything is working as it should.
Also because we go back to a shakedown race (1 week prior to each race) we want teams to be able to race with their actual skin. - Formation lap, we will allow weaving during the formation lap, as this does warm up tyres significantly vs what it did in rF1. However Orange zone is still being applied to formation lap and you will be penalized if you cause an incident.
- Headlight - flashing to pass will be allowed:
- Blocking is still not allowed, however it is allowed to drive a deffensive line
- Team will be allowed to change car make during a season - within the class there will be a 10 point penalty, and changing class will be a 50 point penalty. We are doing this because a team should not be allowed to change and all of a sudden be ahead in the championship.
NOTE: P1 and P2 will not have a full pack, prototypes will be added as URD releases them, so changing when released there will be a 0 point penalty. But only 1 time, 2nd time it means a penalty. - Grid will be locked at 50 teams, however when/if we get to 40 we will review how the game handles the stress.
