Penalty Modifications for Circuit of the Americas
This being the last race, normal Grid and Safety Rating Penalties will not carry over to the next race. The following will be the penalty conversions:
Minor Qualifying Cut = 30 Second Race Penalty
Major Qualifying Cut = 60 Second Race Penalty
If you do cut or feel like you have, you may Start from the Pitlane to offset these Penalties (Feature Race Only). A major cut will still bring a time penalty (although reduced if Pitlane start). A cut during Q2, you may start from 10th place (or in order of your Q1 time if multiple drivers take this option) IF you let the Race Director know before the session moves on. A notification during Warm-up will be too late and you will have to start from the Pitlane. Extra time will be allowed before the session moves on to review your fastest lap. A major cut may still incur a time penalty.
For every 0.50 Penalty Point = 15 Seconds time added to your Race time.
If you feel you may be subject to this, a Drive-through Penalty may be taken to offset each 0.50 Penalty Point. This drive-through must be manually taken, not given by the simulation or by request from the Race Director during the race. You MUST private message the Race Director through RaceDepartment after the race with the lap that you served this penalty. This may be supplemented with a post on the forum, but a private message must be sent.

Qualifying 2 session will be closed, this means that it will impossible for people to join while the session is running.

The Race 1 will be 34 laps long. Drive safely during the race, especially at the start and the first lap in general.
Warmup 2 will resume after Race 1 and will last 10 minutes.
