Introducing the new, streamlined Season 21 of the famous RaceDepartment Forum Racing Series! After the exciting Season 20 in which a point was the difference, we can successfully announce we have found that point and intend to use it amongst other new inclusions. So, with the FR v2.0 car successfully getting all the teams involved, it is time to go racing!
Joining
Joining is quick and simple. If you see a team you like, or maybe a livery, or you know you want to be in a team, just post your preference and you're in. For those people who like a bit of control, then why not make your own team? The latest version of the template is available here, but don't worry if you're not artistic, there are members who are happy to take requests.
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 without posting for one (1) hour, then post ‘pit’ after that (61st minute).
Then they must wait for another hour before posting ‘finish’ to end the race.
This means 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.
Any early posts will incur a 1 hour penalty. There is no rule to save yourself, an early post cannot and will not be overturned. If you post 'pit' early, you may wait for 61 minutes after that again to post, and it will be deemed legal.
Teams Race
Making a return, this race is non-championship, so don't be worried. However, if you want to win this race, you probably want a teammate, keep that in mind.
The race is like any other, but instead the winner will receive 17 points, then second through 16th places get 15 down to 1 point. The teammate who combine to get the largest score will be deemed the victors of the race.
Race Times Tip
If a race is started at a certain hour, it will not be started on that hour again. This is only for championship, points paying races.
