Points System
Points will be determined based on number of entries.
There will be 2 servers if there is enough interest in the league, similar to the ATCC structure.
Weight Penalties
The weight penalties are collective. This means if you win Race 1 and Race 2 you will have 60kg added to your car for Race 3.
You will only have weight removed from your car if you already have it added. IE: if you have no weight penalties and you finish 12th you will NOT have 30kg removed from your car.
If you disconnect or DNF after 80% of the laps, you will have the full 30kg removed from your weight penalty. If you disconnect or DNF before that you will only remove 15kg.

Skins/Liveries
ALL DRIVERS MUST USE A CUSTOM SKIN
Team/Driver skins are ONLY to be used by the individual Driver or members of that specific team, and no one else during the AGTC season. All skins will be compiled and are required to be downloaded by everyone participating in AGTC.
All custom skins in AGTC, must bear the AGTC, MultiBC, RaceDepartment, and SimRacingPro logos.
Here is a link to the series logos:
Link will be posted in real intro/info thread
Size: Please keep your custom skin files as small as possible. From discussions in the skins thread, 1.5 MB seems to be reasonable, do everything in your power to keep them UNDER that size to prevent issues with mini-dumps.
ALL OF THIS INFO IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL THE OFFICIAL INTRO/INFO THREAD IS POSTED. This post is to gauge interest and establish server format.
