Yeah I should've quoted you and say "let me break this down to Finnish"

Tume · Nov 24, 2015

Well add an exception to that rule, as I'm still scratching my head.

If they don't run tc in real life I think it would be unfortunate to run that in the series.

I always thought that he auzi v8 used h shifter?

Tero Dahlberg · Nov 26, 2015

They used one for pretty long. Then they allowed teams to install a sequential shifting "kit" and now the new gen cars are only sequential shift.

Ahhh ok. I think its more fun with h shifter.

This season, it hasn't yet been determined if we are going to run only one or two divisions, we'll give you an update on that matter before round 1.

Points Distribution System
Points will be awarded to the first 26 drivers in division one and two according to the following point list.

Promotion and relegation
The Promotion and relegation from one division to another will be based on the overall championship standing, so after the first round the first 26 drivers in the championship standing will be place in divison 1 for the next round and drivers from 27 to 52 will be placed in division 2 and so on for the following rounds..

Reserve list and absence management
The drivers from the reserve list have to confirm their availabilities at each round and the order of promoting drivers in case of an absence(s) is determined by the pre-qualification times, if your not available and have filed an absence report you'll be placed at the bottom of the reserve list.

If a driver of either divisions file an absence report he will be place at the bottom of the reserve list for the next round, when you signed up for the league you made a commitment to be present at each round of the championship so thats the penality for not honnoring that commitment.

Liveries
A custom livery is what makes league racing special. You design your own car or choose one that we have create. We have a dedicated thread for skinning outlines and questions. Please click this link to head over to the custom livery thread.

Pre-Qualification
Every sim racer likes to compete against opponents that have the same skill level RDTCC is always suitable for drivers of all levels so we can guarantee you the closest possible racing with drivers that match your skills.
.
There isn't a simple way to determine the driving level of an individual racer. The easiest way for us is to organize a massive pre-qualification of 60 minutes wth unlimited laps, only the fastest lap of each drivers will be kept to determine the 2 divisions.

The 26 fastest drivers will be placed in the first division. The drivers that finish 27 - 52 are placed in the second division if we run 2 divisions. The outcome of the pre-qualification will determine the starting groups for the first race day at Adelaide.

Absence
This is one of the most important parts of the league briefing you need to understand! When you are qualified to race in RDTCC S10 we expect you to be present during all the races. This commitment shows respect to the league, your fellow drivers and the organization.

If you can't make it to the next race please report your absence in the dedicated thread, so we can determine how many reserve sign up slot are available.

I am a rookie in the international championship. As the divisions are made? to participate only have to be premiun?
I participate in leagues of Spain.
Thanks

Vimal Ana · Dec 7, 2015

Might be a unpopular opinion but I don't think this should be called a touring car championship... These v8 are way above touring car levels. Maybe could rename it as V8SCC? Interested to hear your opinions

Lorenzo Bonder · Dec 7, 2015

@Vimal Ana,

the V8 Supercars, where the Super V8 is based upon is a Touring Car Championship based in OZ and is run and recognized by FIA under a International Series following Touring Car regulations.
