Drop Races: There will be two (2) drop races available throughout the season to allow for real life commitments. The RD Star Mazda Staff understand that things may come up but please make sure before signing up that you will at least be able to attend six (6) out of the eight (8) races.

Incidents, Investigations and Penalties:
Please remember, the League staff will only review the first lap of each race as standard procedure - any other incidents must be reported before any review will be undertaken.

No report = no review.

Please try and remember the incident reporting guidelines: review, cool off, review again. Only after following the above process, and if you are convinced you still need to report it, should you let the league staff know. Send a PM to either Will Marquez, Kevin Watts, Abdul Ahmed or William Nowell. Please give as much information as possible during the report (time of incident, drivers involved etc.)

Any accusations or complaints aired in the chat during or after a race will mean a penalty levied on the person complaining or making the accusations, even if a subsequent official complaint gets found in their favour. We simply will NOT tolerate any post race finger pointing.

First lap penalty: If a driver causes an incident on the first lap of the race resulting in a major damage to another car, he will start from pitlane in the next race entered.

Blue flag: The driver receiving the blue flag is responsible of moving out of the racing line and give way to the lapping car as early as possible. In most situations, the driver receiving the blue flag will be deemed at fault in case of an incident with a front runner unless the incident is caused by the lapping driver's negligence.

Making contact from behind: In most situations a driver causing an incident by making contact from behind will be found guilty and penalized (a blue flag situation is one of the exceptions).

No Shows: If a driver does not post that they will not be attending a certain race. That will be considered a no show. Two or more no shows and the RD Star Mazda Series Staff can possibly remove that driver from league. Please if you are unable to attend a race, a simple post stating that you cannot attend will suffice.

Kevin and myself decided not to schedule any RDiR Club events for this weekend due to Father's Day. As many will be busy with family. However if there is enough interest, we can put up a 4-6 hour Practice Server for everyone to prepare for Daytona.
 
Got some practice in tonight after work. Just curious is 155 mph the fastest the Star Mazda can go? Adjusting which wing, front or rear that gives you more top speed?

Tested with Sam's Charlotte Road setup so far.

Anyone put any laps in round here yet? I very quickly tried the above set last night, outlap then a 1.53.xxx then a wipe out! So I am guessing that the fast guys will be getting close to 1.47/48's after some practice?

Track flows quite nicely, I reckon there could be some good racing round here
 
Lol, i thought the event was this Sunday. Any event will do for me thisSunday.So far i could drive 1.49.8x. But did nothing with setup yet.

[Edit]
My PB is now 1.48.299. Still room for lots of improvements as the car is bottoming out on the oval banking.

Only changes I made to the setup was rear ARB to none. Car felt more stable on exit. I would have been right up there aswell had my net been stable. Frustrated. I'll say thats equivalent to a car without a budget in RL :) :)
 
There was some to-do about that when the Lotus ran here. I can see it being an advantage in that car - not so sure on this one. NASCAR does not allow racing on the apron, not sure about Grand-Am (who do the road course events here). Personally, I don't have a problem with it (won't race there, but don't care if others do). What say the admins?
 
Drivers will be required to keep two tires on the banking (oval section) at all times.

Apologies guys for not being active lately, been busy with my externship. Looking forward to the final round on Sunday :)


Edit: Just saw Kevin's post now, as he has stated that the track is defined by being above the yellow line. As long as you have two tires above that line it is ok.
