Welcome one and all to the 20th Season of Forum Racing, presented by RaceDepartment! Following from the exciting Season 19, this new season sees new regulations and some older favourites as well. What will we see this year? Rami Saidy chases a maiden win, oldwolf chases a maiden title, James Chant, Thomas Hackle and Omer Said hold up the veterans' honour, while Manolis Sigolakis has a title to defend. Sign up and who knows? You could be the next big name of RD Forum Racing!!
Joining
This season brings forth new regulations. After the success of self-done liveries, we are proud to reveal the v2.0 model. The newest version can be downloaded from here, also go there for help/requests with your new car. If you're not up to creating a car, feel free to join a team here already. The season has started, but we accept entries at any stage, it can be a good grounding for the next season.
The Races
Sprint Race
At random times, I will start races (GO GO GO), and when a race starts you will have to reply in this thread as soon as possible with the word "finish". Whoever says "finish" first wins!
Feature Race
This race is a little longer, but not so hard. After the start is announced, players must post ‘Start’ as quickly as possible.
Then they must wait for one (1) hour, then post ‘pit’.
Then they must wait for another hour before posting ‘finish’ to end the race.
This mean then, that there is an hour long dead time for posting pit or finish. Only on the 61st minute (1hr and 1min) may you post again and continue. This is the same for both posts.
This season we do have a 'second chance' during the feature race. Posting early does not invoke an immediate penalty, instead, you must wait until 10 minutes after the legal time to post again. e.g. posting at 01:11 instead of 01:12, you may post at 01:22 and avoid a penalty. The next post must be at 02:22 as well.
The first person to post ‘start’ will receive 3 points as a “pole bonus”. Those pitting/finishing too early (before the hour have passed) will be handed a penalty of 1 hour added to their finishing time per each minute early they post, unless you post again within the legal time period. If your finishing time exceeds the time of the finish of the race, in which case you will be DQ’ed.
Please note: The moderator will be harsh on this. 1 minute early=1 hour penalty. The moderator reserves the right that the time read on their screen is the time used.
Race Times Tip
If a race is started on a specific hour, let's say 09:00, there will not be another race started at that time again.
